The cat in the second picture looks to be roughly the same size as the humans in the first picture, so shouldn't have an issue catching tuna.
Humans like a lot of things that we were never supposed to catch. Those two things are just not related
Wasn't it during WW2 that they needed the beef to go to troops overseas, so they substituted beef for fish in cat foods?
I tried to look it up to verify, but search engines are shit and I'm not getting anything close to my keywords.
Did they have dedicated cat food before WWII? until recently I was convinced people were just giving their dogs and cats their scraps. With cats possibly not even giving them the scraps and just letting them go hunt.
Butterflys are carnivorous? That's the second new thing I've learned this morning
What's the first?
When people in Sweden settled an area with a hill it could be called a “Something-bjer”. Bjer means hill and is close to the modern word Berg.
It's probably just opportunistic nutrition, or whatever the term is called when a deer eats a bird...
It's too late. The image is seared into my brain. They are carnivorous monsters
There's a butterfly pavilion near me that I want to take you to. Definitely not to watch you freak out...
Well ok, if you say it's safe
It's okay, you'll be wearing a beekeeper suit.
But I don't want to see any bees...
Unless they're the knees
I knew I was scared of those fuckers for a reason
Salt perhaps.
Depends on the species. Some will stick to flowers, but some will eat even blood or shit
I’m on the sea food diet: I see food, I eat it— which doesn’t help restrict myself to the sea food diet.
