    “Accidentally”

    You’re a monster.

    You know you could have given them a little taste without harm, even though it has more salt than their food.

        The spicy Thai chili one is really good on rice, too. I usually add some sriracha mayo on top and call it a poor man’s poke bowl.

      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.

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

        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.

      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).

      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.

        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)

    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.

      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.

      I trained my cat to eat plain chicken by tearing off little pieces and any time he didn’t go for it I’d make sure he watched me eat a little. Do that, offer him the other half of the piece I ate, repeat a few times. Now he knows whenever there is a new food if I’m trying to give it to him and I take little bites that he should try it too. It’s a lot of fun

    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”.
