Everyone should have both types of cat.

Who just eats an entire can of tuna

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sometimes scoop tuna out of the can with saltines. Pretty good 0 effort snack.

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also good source of protein.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Right, I'm all about my protein and low calories but tuna/salmon should remain a couple times a week max because of that.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Hi, it's me, the tuna can eater. It's tasty!

[–] isles@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm more of a sardines from the tin kinda fella.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

In oil. Water packed sardines are disgusting.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I like tuna

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Accidentally for that matter...

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm a gourmand and a lazy one. If I go thru the effort to open a package, I'll probably eat the whole thing. I'm trying to get better at portion control, but I'm many months in and my instincts are no better, and I'm less happy.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

A can of tuna is about 250 kcal. That is not bad, and it's all protein. You could do way worse!

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only success I ever had was envelope budgeting calories. You've gotta approach it like your instincts are already broken and hopefully if you're not type 2 diabetic yet you can fix it before you are and your hormones are also broken on top of your instincts. Trying to fix it after getting diabetes is much harder, because now you're not only wrestling with learned behavior but an actual dysfunctional metabolic system.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

Back when my weight started with a 3, I was told I was pre-diabetic, but I'm much better now, and my current GP hasn't mentioned diabetes to me at all. I got down to 201 lbs. towards the beginning of the year, but I'm 220 today. (Current goal is 197, but 165 would be better.)

I tried intermittent fasting both sticking to a 16/8 for a few months and separately abstaining entirely for a couple of weekends. Didn't really help reset my instincts / cravings.

I still feel hungry more often than I should eat. I have gotten into the habit of trying to silence the rumbling guts with calorie-free fluids and waiting 30 minutes, but frequently I find myself still hungry and in a worse mood after that wait.

If I stick to the diet I have planned, I will lose weight, and sometimes I can do that, but it's getting harder and less frequent.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I find that one can of tuna is just about the right amount for one meal of tuna salad for one person (if you're not having it with anything extra, like bread).

[–] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If I wake up hungry, my cat and I are going to eat a can of tuna in the middle of the night.

What authorities do I even report this to? Bastet?

[–] ValiantDust@feddit.org 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sekhmet seems more appropriate, though depicted with a lion's head not a housecat's.

Sekhmet acted as the vengeful manifestation of Ra's power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues. (Wikipedia)

She would sort that shit out.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Report submitted.
I marked it as urgent.

(Yes! I couldn't remember the name & I wasn't sure anyway, but I knew Bestet was depicted as kitty so in my laziness of not wanting to do one single search I went with the safer choice)

* Gathered concern *

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

I remember eating a can of tuna in front of my cat, she stood on her hind legs and emitted the slowest plaintive meow ever. She must have win awards for best begging kitty ever.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So I'm a total pet-drug-pusher. I had a cat who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half) so I gave her a milliliter a day. My dog today needs peanut-butter like it's the ambrosia of the gods. It's a small treat every once in a while.

Out of respect for your friends of fur, allowing them a small dose might enhance their enjoyment of life a bit, especially since we are social beings who enjoy sharing a meal with each other. And unlike half-and-half, cats can actually digest tuna.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My cats are dum though. I'll crack open a can of tomatoes and they freak out thinking it's dinner time. I let them sniff it, but then they look confused.

Same when I'm getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Same when I’m getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.

Can relate. All my cats think my pill bottles are the same as the treat shaker. I always end up giving them a treat afterwards because I feel bad.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, man. The amount of times I'd exasperatedly repeat to my cat "it's beans!" or someone similar and let them smell the can I'm opening. I know you know this doesn't smell like tuna, you fuzzy idiot...

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Better sleep with your eyes open tonight

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's actually less scary than I was thinking. Thought it was gonna be a cat shitting in someone's mouth. I'd rather have my soul stolen than that.

That movie was literally about the cat saving her life from a little troll monster that actually did steal children's breath.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

While that might be true, you're stealing my narrative.

[–] Rickard_Nutella@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

The one on the right looks priceless

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

You monster

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

The Geneva Conventions forbade this.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago

I used to have a cat that generally wouldn't beg for food unless I made something with tuna. Even then he wouldn't beg while I was making it but I would find him sitting on my desk in the other room (where I ate) waiting for me when I got there like "hey whats that".

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The right one definitely has the look of disbelief lol

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes thank you I like your face very much.

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We can do better than stealing content from spez's shithole website.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its not stealing content, its "content aggregation"

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

You'll be an Ai developer in no time lol
