How can a cat steal what always has belonged to said cat by default?
Why do I have to immediately think of the “dancing mat Dark Souls” someone did? You for sure don’t need your hands to play when you can just use your feet.
These are the moments where I wish dishwashers had a see-through door. It would make for some really awesome cat-cinema.
The internet challenges that pop up from time to time (think tide pod challenge as most extreme case) kindly ask you to reconsider tht sentence.
With raw meat you always have to be careful. If it’s super fresh cats can eat fish/chicken raw. However if you’re not sure about how fresh it is I’d definitely steam it because salmonella is a thing.
There’s special raw meat (chicken mainly) sold as food quality for cats l where I live and that one I’m feeding to my cats raw: They adore it.
However when I just buy chicken in the supermarket I’m always steaming it before chopping off some pieces for my cats because I can’t be sure about there maybe being bacteria or so that really should be heated to death first. There’s differences in how much the stores and such have to pay attention when labeling something “food quality in raw” vs “food quality after properly heating up”.
That works but… I rather keep that as absolute last resort possibility. It’s not something the cat enjoys for sure and I rather have my furmily members as happy as possible at all times. They’re a bit like kids in that regard: sweeten things up for them and suddenly they’re not (as) horrible anymore. And fighting against a child/cat that absolutely doesn’t want to is not a battle you win easily.
I once had a cat that trusted me enough to just eat the pill as is straight out of my hand but he was an absolute exception in every way possible. Ofc he too got treats after taking his meds.
Depending on the cat you might have success hiding pills in treats. I always have some frozen raw chicken for my cats (actually food quality for cats, not whatever I would buy for myself which needs cooking first). I make sure that’s thawed up and room temperature, then roll it into a little ball with the pill inside so my cats can just nom it without coming into direct contact with the pill. There’s also some liver paste treat thing I know but my current cats are not a fan.
As for what you can do for your cat: Watch her and see if she wants something specific. If she acts as if something is completely abnormal check in with the vet again. But overall the aftermath should be pretty smooth sailing from the one case I experienced myself.
Human beings tend to season their food, too. So we shouldn’t judge cats for doing the same.
The cats should be out of their super rowdy kitty phase where they keep making mishief faster than you can look. Then it’s fine as long as you make sure to not leave the cat alone with a lit candle for an extended period of time, just so you can immediately put the candle out in case an accident happens - fires are only fine and funny as long as they’re not endangering anything. It’s new, it might be playable, so ofc the average cat will come closer to take a look and possibly some boops if possible until they know what that candle is.
From personal experience you don’t have to keep sitting right next to the candle (I still did for the first couple of times because mine came close) as long as you’re in the same room so you can come running ASAP just as safety precaution for worst cases. Those candleholders you mentioned sound good, I have something similar here (some big decorative glass/plastic things where candles can be put inside, not true candle holders though). Definitely helps with the peace of mind though if your cat ends up finding candles boring they won’t be necessary.
Aww they’re so cute! Hope they both keep doing well from now on. Cats are absolutely amazing family members.
It seems to depend on what you use to access Lemmy. With Jerboa all I get is a blank. With Eternity I’m getting this:![Screenshot_20240820_100456_eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy_edit_3572352682609583](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c8514b9b-7b0b-4028-bc9a-e5ced6f272ed.jpeg)
