Add one more item to the fabled book, “101 Things to do With a Dead Cat”. Before anyone goes wanting to lock this sick blogger up, it’s more of a joke than anything. But, researchers have discovered that cats eat 2 and a half tons of real fish each year and not only that, it’s the good stuff. In other words cats are eating fish that could be consumed by humans when they could be eating the guts, heads and the rest of the offal.
But wait! Theres’ more! Call this number now and we’ll throw in the fact that in Australia there is more fish per cat consumed than fish per human.
Leading the way (no surprises here. Nothing is too good for Garfield) is the U.S. in the amount of fish we feed our cats, topping over 1 million tons of fish.
So why do we feed our cats the good stuff?
“I think giving a nice chunk of fish to a pet is important to satisfy the personal hedonistic needs of the owner, not the nutritional need of the cat,” ……… “Cats will be very happy to eat the offal from a trout.”
If we run out of fish to eat, that is us humans, will we limit the fish we feed our cats? Doubtful! Our society is more interested in watching humans starve, go broke and lose their land than feed a cat some fish guts. MEOOOOOOWW!
This Tom Cat is relegated to the alleyways for some time to come.
