Interesting they went with a sweet flavour; I always figured since cats are obligate carnivores that sweet things wouldn't be very attractive to them.

My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. My dog hunts down chocolate knowing it will make her puke. Animals are weird.

I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone gets an appetite for it.

That rabbit was very lucky to have had such a strong stomach, rabbits in general are unable to digest foods high in protein and gastric upset in rabbits can be fatal. Its one of the scariest things as a rabbit owner.

Yeah. I don't know how long it lived, at least a year since then, after that who knows. Rabbits aren't very long lived to begin with, and even less so when they sell them at the fair as tiny bunnies not neutered or spayed. Once you know how much work they are it seems kind of criminal.

Rabbits aren't very long lived to begin with

A domestic rabbit has an expected life span of about 8-12 years which I'd say is decently long

Not neutered or spayed

But yeah, that will shorten their life span for sure. Rabbits are a lot of work too and they're not for everyone! Most people don't really know or care about the work that's required to really take proper care of them.

Interesting, I thought cats couldn't even taste sugar/sweet

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I am not even sure if they do. They may just be dumb or too lazy to walk over to their water bowl.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

Maybe they like the taurine in redbull

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I had the same thought but he gets so very excited when we pull out the tube.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re not supposed to put the whole tube in
