Of Pokeballs and Pitfalls

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog

Cats also like olives because they have a similar compound to catnip in them, so OP's cat likely tore open the package for that reason. I learned this the hard way the first time I ate olives near my cat :/ they're not poison on their own but the ones for people are def way too salty for cats.

I should clarify my cat was fine, she just made a mess trying to violently steal all the olives.

men got a taste of women's beauty standards and immediately started bashing their facial bones with hammers

a surprising number of people are learning from this post that looksmaxxers are unironically fracturing their facial bones

Hi for the love of god hello

Respect unlabelled queer people like yesterday btw. I know it's very upsetting that you're not able to fit everyone in a neat little box or that you can't tell who someone's shagging if they don't give you a clear label but you gotta accept that it's frankly none of your business. "OK but if you HAD to-" I don't have to actually :)

i just realized the only 2 options arent "make someone angry" or "do what they want"

being in love is like you learn theres other reactions people have besides angry or not angry

love when its safe

and at the same time, your mom would rather continue to date a man that she knows is stupid and arrogant rather than affirm her own daughter
