I get it. Thinner cats mean less tasty. But that's not really true.

WTF WTF WTF
My 2 cats get two fists full of crunchies (whatever Walmart has on sale) a day... water... table scraps... shots and a flea collar... same as my dog. With me... so far with all my pets... they live long lives for their species... well over a decade for my dogs... close to two for my cats...

However... if you asked my pets... they would tell you they are starving... (eye roll)

Ignore them.

chit like this makes it hard to feel bad for US Americans...

Ferrets make nice pets too.

Roman Legionnaires kept ferrets around to protect their grains from rodents.
