foods that will poison cats:
alcohol
chocolate
caffeine
dairy products (adults turn lactose intolerant)
fat trimmings, raw meat, eggs, fish
grapes and raisins
onions and garlic
tuna (when not made for cats)
xylitol (artificial sweetener)
if you have a cat please reblog this
Even if you don’t have a cat please reblog this for all your followers who may have their own precious little baby.
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TUNA OMFG
If I remember rightly it’s the trace elements of mercury in canned tuna that is toxic to them. Their kidneys can’t filter it out like human kidneys can.
ok im gonna break this down a bit because some of these are BLATANTLY untrue and it kills me every time i see this.
alcohol: not very good for humans, either, but alcohol effects pets the same way it effects humans: targeting the brain and the liver. the issue? it takes way less to kill your cat than it does a human. you weigh, on average, at least 100 pounds (or 10x) more than your cat does. 3 teaspoons of liquour could kill your cat. don’t do it. alcohol WILL poison your cat.
chocolate: theobromine (and to a lesser degree, caffeine) is the issue with this one. humans? we can break this down in our bodies. cats, dogs, birds, ferrets? they can’t. it usually takes a pretty big amount of theobromine to cause a pet to actually die, though. it’s present in cocoa, so the higher % of cocoa in a chocolate, the less needs to be ingested to cause serious, life-threatening effects. baking chocolate has a high concentration of theobromine and 1 square can kill a cat or small dog. white chocolate is a low risk, on the other hand. chocolate CAN poison your cat, especially DARK and BAKING chocolate.
caffeine: same story as alcohol: not that great for humans either, causes similar effects as in humans… just quicker and with less caffeine ingested. elevated heartrate, seizures, etc. can be seen. dogs and cats are more sensitive to the effects than humans are. caffeine WILL poison your cat.
dairy: cats are lactose intolerant and so their bodies cannot properly break it down– much like how we can break down theobromine and cats/dogs can’t. however, it’s not going to poison your cat, just give them diarrhea and other gastrointestinal upset. dairy WILL NOT poison your cat, but will cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea, so it is strongly recommended to not give dairy products to your pets.
fat trimmings: fat trimmings are just fat. if you feed fat to your cats, they will become fat and/or it will increase the level of lipids in the blood, leading to diseases and complications like chronic pancreatitis, which can be fatal. fat trimmings WILL NOT poison your cat, but will lead to disease that can be fatal, so it is strongly recommended to not feed fat trimmings to any pets.
raw meat: cats can eat raw meat. cats are obligate carnivores. cats are designed to only eat meat, and raw meat is not of serious risk to them. disease carried in raw meat? not a problem when you are a cat who has evolved over millions of years to eat raw meat. i hate hearing “cats can’t eat raw meat!” from people with outdoor cats. you realise your cats are eating raw lizard and bird, right? raw meat has more nutrients than cooked meat (which we eat veggies & fruits to compensate for– cats can’t digest these) and, obviously, there are some diseases and bacteria that cats aren’t immune to but cats are less likely to eat rotten meat than dogs are, anyway. treat the meat like you treat human meat and it’s totally fine. cats are DESIGNED TO EAT AND DIGEST RAW MEAT! IT’S PERFECTLY FINE TO FEED YOUR CAT RAW MEAT, but make sure that the meat is in-date and properly stored/cared for. rotten or spoiled meat CAN lead to disease and poisoning, but the same goes for 90% of the animal population!
eggs: its ok to feed your cat eggs. im not even sure why this is a question. raw eggs rarely carry salmonella and even humans rarely contract salmonella from infected eggs. your average cat will never contract salmonella from raw eggs, only in an immuno-compromised cat would this ever be an issue. cats can safely eat raw and cooked eggs, as salmonella is pretty much only a concern in an immuno-compromised cat in the first place.
fish: see raw meat above. fish, however, is a bit of an exception because of higher levels of mercury & low levels of taurine and differing balances of phosphate and calcium mean that it’s not a sustainable diet for cats and could lead to mercury poisoning or bone disease if it is the only protein given. when given ~1 time a week and with varied proteins there is no issue. again, cats are DESIGNED TO EAT AND DIGEST FISH AND OTHER MEATS! however, previous warnings about storing fish correctly still applies, and proteins should be varied due to fish having different levels of phosphorous, calcium, and taurine and mercury content. a primary diet of fish CAN lead to bone disease or mercury poisoning in extreme cases.
grapes and raisins: admittedly, this one is a bit of a wild card. some pets eat raisins/grapes without an issue, but in others, these can cause renal failure and death rapidly. we still don’t know why. animals with prior kidney issues are more likely to be effected by grape/raisin toxicity, and cats are more likely to have kidney issues due to many cats not getting adequate moisture in their diet. grapes and raisins MAY lead to poisoning in some cats and dogs, especially those with pre-existing kidney conditions.
onions and garlic: yes! all members of the allium genus (shallots, scallions, leeks, etc. are included) contain thiosulphate which, when ingested by cats and dogs, can lead to a serious condition in the blood known as hemolytic anemia. basically: their red blood cells burst. this can be fatal and a small amount of onion/garlic/etc. is needed to cause clinically significant issues. onions, garlic, and other members of the allium genus CAN and WILL poison your pet in even small amounts.
tuna: see fish above. canned tuna tends to be soaked in oil which leads to the same issues as fat trimmings in increasing lipid count in the blood. sashimi quality tuna will also have higher concentration of mercury and shouldn’t be consumed more than occasionally in the cat’s diet. canned tuna in oil is often too fatty and leads to the same issues as eating fat trimmings, however, tuna steak/sashimi/etc. quality tuna is the same as other fish: occasional inclusion in the diet is fine!
xylitol: relatively small quantities of this (an artificial sweetener) will cause a sudden drop in blood sugar in dogs, which can lead to comas, seizures, or death. many times, if they are not rushed to the hospital immediately, they will die, and even then, they may suffer permanent liver damage. however… cats are not adversely affected, and typically aren’t attracted to foods w/xylitol in it in the first place. xylitol is NOT likely to poison your cat, but small amounts can KILL your dog, moreso than chocolate!
Eating Disorders Kill
I regret posting my body check.
I did not expect to get so much attention from it and it’s starting to make me feel uncomfortable knowing that people want to look like me and call me “goals.”
You will NOT be happy once you get down to my weight and I really hate to break that to you. It will never be enough. Never. You’ll end up frail and too boney that it’s disgusting and you’ll be stuck in a hospital bed being tube fed. That’s the reality of this all.
Every drop of weight is addictive and soon you’ll be nothing. You won’t look like those pictures of those thin girls and all the other thinspo you see. You’ll keep on starving.
Every thought in your head regarding your body is irrational if you’re in this deep. You’ll think 200 calories makes your thighs bigger, you arms bigger, your stomach bigger. That’s not possible. You’ll think that one pound gained means that you’re disgusting. These eating disorders don’t care about you. Think of it as an abusive relationship.
Anorexia kills you. Bulimia kills you.
“I’ve watched girls nibble away at half an apple, diced into little chunks to make it last longer. That’s all she’ll eat today. I’ve watched girls drink five litres of water because ‘sometimes you’re not actually hungry, it’s just thirst’. I’ve watched girls drink tea like it’s liquid gold, to pinch their stomachs and feel sick at the sight of the rolls. I’ve watched girls exercise until they faint, until their hearts threaten to beat straight out of their chest because it’s the only way they feel loved. I’ve watched girls do mental calculations of how much they’ve eaten, 110 calories from a large apple, only 55 from half. I’ve watched girls cry in front of the mirror because they’ll never be size 6, never mind size 4, or 2, or 0. I’ve watched girls hide in bulky clothing when all they’ve ever wanted is to wear dresses that don’t cover everything up. I’ve watched them flinch when people say, “I like girls who have big appetites.” I’ve watched them smile when people say, “you’ve lost weight, haven’t you?” I’ve watched girls who hate themselves so much they refuse to accept affection. I’ve heard their silence when people comment on how little they are eating - they think: ‘at least now I don’t have a reason to look this way’. I’ve watched girls measure their worth by the gap between their thighs, gripping skin and bone, convinced it’s fat that can be burned. I’ve watched girls, living skeletons, who laugh and smile just like everyone else, who needed someone to lend them a little strength when they couldn’t find their own, for someone to reach out and say: ‘can’t you see you don’t need to do this to be beautiful? You don’t need to do this to be loved.”

alright fuck you guys this is gold
11/10/2018
November is a cold, dreary month, full of damp promises and withering hearts, mine being one of the many. My thoughts lately have revolved largely around the method of which I will fucking kill myself with, though it seems like my options are dwindling. I can’t find any trees to wrap my [hypothetical car] around, all tall buildings are too far, and I simply don’t have enough energy to bear the pain of bleach again. Will it really matter if it is painful, though? In the end, death is death is death, and nobody cares how much pain you were in. Whether I do the deed with paint thinner or 2000 mg of effexor, I’ll still be “dead” and This won’t be a problem anymore.
What will happen? I can’t bring myself to imagine my mind reaching the shores of oblivion, although I’m presently heading in that exact direction. I’m not sure what I was meant to do with my time here, but sixteen years has been more than enough time to realize that This has become a prison of “my own” design.

hagrid’s hut is outside the castle. hagrid’s hut is down the hill. harid’s hut is outside the forest. hagrid’s hut is in the courtyard. hagrid’s hut is in the great lake. hagrid’s hut is never in the same place twice, but whenever you need to be there, you always know where to go.
there are thirty people in your year, and there have always been thirty.
the stairs take you to the third floor. it’s forbidden, you plead desperately. i just wanted to get to charms class. the stairs rotate, and you head upwards. you are on the third floor.
there is a flood in the girl’s bathroom. there has always been a flood in the girl’s bathroom. your feet are soaking. you can’t remember them being dry.
there are twenty six people in your year, and there have always been twenty six.
you are trying to remember the password to your dorm. the portraits are laughing at you. they point and mock as you start to sweat. what was the password? the fat lady is sneering. her eyes hold secrets.
every day your room is cleaned. everything is where you like it. you have never cleaned your room. one day you clean it yourself, just to check. the next morning your eggs are overcooked and your toast burned. you never clean your room again.
one day you walk over a bridge to get to defence against the dark arts. was that bridge always there? you never see the bridge again.
you are drinking pumpkin juice. you are always drinking pumpkin juice. if there is a glass near you, it will be filled with pumpkin juice. when you turn on the tap, pumpkin juice starts to run. you pour pumpkin juice into your cauldron in potions class. when you trip and scrape your knee, your blood is bright orange.
there are twenty four people in your year, and there have always been twenty four.
i’ve had a realization and i’m sure it’s been done before but-
millennial depression:
vs
gen z depression:
that weird group of teens who were born 1999-2003 all experienced millennial depression around age 12 and then currently experience gen z depression
