@copperbadge – your future awaits
My future is already here, they desperately needed guacamole this morning. (Don’t worry, I didn’t give them any, they got freeze-dried chicken treats instead.)
@copperbadge too exotic for their little tums? Reminds me of the time Kit-Kat insisted she have some of my Brinjal pickle. I literally got bitchslapped for it.
I think the avo would be all right, but the spices in the guac mix (including onion powder) aren’t good for them (the salt’s not great either but the effect of that as a one-off would be negligible). That has not stopped them from COMPLAINING LOUDLY about their lack of guacamole.
Avocado actually is mildly toxic to cats.
Most of our cats will just sniff something they were demanding to see, with an offended expression of “How DARE you show me this thing that I don’t want?”. Especially if it’s a can of veggies. They HEARD the can opener, but fish did not appear!
Avocado is basically poisonous to everything EXCEPT humans. Do not give it to your pets! Also bad – onions/garlic/chives, macadamia nuts, artificial sweetners like xylitol, grapes and sultanas, anything from the lily family (even just brushing up against these can be toxic), and certain essential oils (don’t use an oil burner while cat owning, the effects are cumulative and can be fatal), alcohol, apple and stonefruit pips (cyanide), and, of course, chocolate. It’s also best not to give cats dairy. There are special formulated cat milks if you want to give them a treat.
