    A little, little bit. As a very occasional treat. Remember that the salt and spices in salami are dosed for humans that are, on average, 15 times larger than a house cat, and things like garlic and onion aren’t toxic to us but they are to them.

    Unsalted, boiled chicken breast is a better every-day treat for kitty.

    I don’t understand the haters.

    One or two bites isn’t going to hurt them.

    One of my cats loves cheese. But it has to be sharp, stinky cheese. I know it’s not good for him, but a tiny little piece every few weeks isn’t going to hurt.

      No hatred at all.

      House cats are surprisingly delicate and surprisingly stupid little critters and it’s our job as their designated thinking monkeys to properly take care of them, and that includes keeping their dietary needs in mind. Plants that are delicious to us humans are poisonous to house cats. Look at that cute little face and think about how much dying of kidney failure hurts as you’re designing treats for your furry little buddy.

          Sorry there, fellow asshole, but you sound like you could use a good patronizing.

          Look. I am the asshole here. My post history will confirm, I am a very bad, very hateful person. And the issue you’ve picked with me is that I said “Let’s feed our kitty cats healthy treats.”

          How about we reach between our ass cheeks and unbuch our panties, eh?

      Wasn’t there a french cartoon with some black cat that likes stinky cheese and grants people the magic superpower of destroying anything they touch?

          Damn, shame.

          Like I said before in other comments, this was taken a couple weeks ago, and she’s totally fine.

            Yeah it was a housemate thinking they were being sweet with the cat and I didn’t know. I think older people, older generations think its fine. and like mayyyyyybe once in an eternity its fine. But humans are very good at making excuses for themselves, and it being “fine”.

              What part of “taken a couple weeks ago” do you not understand?

              I’m sorry about your cat, but mine is just fine, she enjoyed this slommy very much.

              It’s like I’m her owner and know what I can treat her with…

                Lmao, mommy knows best what poisons to feed her baby!

                One slice won’t kill her. One slice every week will absolutely kill her. Have a nice day!

    Just a little bit of slommy!

    It’s very salty for the fella and especially hard on their kidneys as they get older. Give it as a rare treat and make sure kibty drinks plenty of water after.

    I would personally rinse the slommy with water and give a few small bacon bits sized pieces. :3
