Because it’s delicious?

I gave my cat the fish oil that was left over after removing the salmon or tuna from the can. She loved it.

Marky – “Even if you weren’t in my food chain, I would go out of my way to attack you.
If I were a lion and your were a tuna I would swim out into the middle of the ocean and friggin eat you! And then, I’d bang your tuna girlfriend.”

Pause

Will – “Ok, first off, a lion…swimming in the ocean?
Lions don’t even like water.
If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense.
But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming its off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full, grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends.
You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten.
And guess what, you wandered into our school, of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked, to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, ‘you know what? lion tastes good. Lets go get some more lion.’
We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring…”

Marky – “How ya gonna to do that?”

Will – “We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. Its not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.

That go the way you thought it was gonna to go?” Shaking his head. “Nope.”

“for an animal that evolved in the desert.” No relevance whatsoever to the story, just paying obeisance to their godless religion of evolution.

Mine only drinks the juice. Fresh baked salmon however, goes down the hatch like she inhales it. Canned salmon just like tuna, only eats the juice.

We are at the point where anything with the words science, scientific, scientist must be suspicious. If a government funded ‘scientist’ announced that bears poop in the woods, I would begin to doubt it.

Tuna has taurine. Lots of it.

Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats.

Get it?

Got it.

Good.

Hi.

Did the scientists get a grant for this study? How much was the grant for? 5 mil?

Sheesh, I thought everyone already knew that fact.

5.56mm

Recalling when Fat Freddie took his kat on vacation to see the Ocean.
Fat Freddie explained to his kat (sorry I don’t recall his name other than “FF’s kat”-??)
that tunafish came from the Ocean they were viewing from out on the pier.

FF’s kat looks up incredulously at Fat Freddie. And in a few moments said, approximately,
“Bullsheit! I know tuna. And I know that tuna comes from little round tins.”

End of discussion. As always, the kat had won.

We had a sweet little cat who lived to be quite old, but she was always small. (that was because all cats who lived with my old big cat never grew, he stole their growth hormones!)

She was the sweetest little thing, and never had much interest in human food. Except... LAMB CHOPS. If we had lamb chops that kitty would go all king of the jungle on us and be under the table with the chop she stole, growling and gnawing and just having a fine old time.

As REO Speedwagon once said:

“You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish”
