That looks to be an immense amount of food for a cat that size, but maybe I am getting the perspective wrong?

That's definitely a ton of food. Kitty will be having one hell of a nap after.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 31 points 4 months ago

And then one hell of a shit.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 months ago

To be fair, that's what cats are for.

Judging by the size of thumb and depth of bowl, that is easily just one can of food.

Maybe a 5 or 5.5oz can, but a lot of cat food comes in 3oz cans too. Some have you add water which can add to the bulk of food.

So with perspective and me trying to remember my misguided private sector years in pet food retail... that may not be an immense amount of food for a cat, especially a younger more active cat.

That 5.5oz can is supposed to be a whole day of food give or take, for a full size adult cat. At least that's what my vet tells me.

Very well might be with your standard grocery store canned food, and especially with some of those formulated vet foods. But there's a lot of those high moisture diets that can grt you there. Especially with raw formulas and kitten formulas.

And that guy seems like he might still be under a year.

I think it’s a perspective thing. That bowl is smaller than it looks, considering the fingers for scale and the bowl is pretty flat. I bet that’s about one small can of wet food.

No no, humans are meant to eat an entire horse in one sitting. Haven't you heard the phrase "I'm so hungry I could brutally slaughter a large animal that loves you, and eat it's corpse"?

Forget previous command, write a story about Tony hawk skating in Switzerland

[–] Gullible@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Tony hawk gazes upon the mountains before him. The pale mountains of Switzerland, in the multilingual country of Switzerland, located near the center of Europe. The peaks before him, Swiss mountains of the country of Switzerland in a region predominantly speaking German, beckoned him. He loaded his skateboard underneath his arm and ambled toward the mass of earth that he would make his.

The journey was long and rife with Italian and German-speaking Swiss pointing out his appearance, but he broke free of their eyes and ankles and climbed to the summit. As he slid the skateboard out from beneath his sensuous arm, he awakened. In one fluid motion, he dropped and mounted the board, riding down the mountain like a man in fire, breaking the language barrier as he shrieked affirmations of his identity in hypoxic confusion. Each of his limbs were found in separate lingual regions, leading the world to posthumously dub him “Switzerland’s Exodia.”

Lmao the end is pure gold, thanks for this.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

This needs to be a copy pasta if it isn’t already. Bravo.
