Is no one gonna mention that this guys Christmas tree is already up and it’s not even Halloween yet?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 4 months ago

The mark of a psychopath for sure

This pic is super old and probably was posted around Xmas time originally.

It’s already Christmas in Australia.

TIL. Not that I'd ever thought of crossing their paths, but my kitties thank you just in case.

Do not feed citrus to cats, do not feed chocolate to dogs and do not feed avocado to parrots.

Researching safe and unsafe foods should be a basic prerequisite to owning a pet.

Chocolate is also very poisonous for cats, but unlike dogs, they're usually smart enough not to eat it. I think lilies are the only things that they occasionally chew on that is poisonous to them (and they are extremely poisonous to them).

Do not feed pineapple pizza to an Italian.

Funny that you'll have to stop dogs from getting to chocolate, while cat out here just knows it shouldn't eat citrus

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 months ago

Another proof that cats were never fully domesticated and still retain some of their primal instincts? I mean, besides them murdering all local wildlife if let outside.

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

True, but we both know what should be frequently isn't. In my defense, I'd never try to give my cats something that wasn't labeled specifically for them, anyway - although I'll acknowledge that's still no guarantee.

I see someone’s getting poop in their shoes for Christmas

They hate citrus! Citrus spray is how I stop them scratching furniture.

[–] webpack@ani.social 1 points 4 months ago

according to another comment on this post apparently touching citrus can cause skin irritation for cats....

it's not a force field, it is a tangerine field

cats hate the smell of oranges and lemons
