Mildly Interesting

I could see that since horses require a salt lick anyway.

The fact that you need to tell people not to intentionally give their cat salt water is telling of how far we've regressed as a society.

Still, that's pretty impressive. Cats are absolutely incredible animals. I'm thankful the "worst behaved cats" still love me for whatever reason because I've been able to see some of the crazy shit they do.

My parents have an entirely blind 18 year old cat. She can navigate the entire house eats fine, plays a bit. Hops up and down furniture, finds the sunbathing spots, uses the litter just fine. You do have to keep an eye out for her if your moving around as she can't smell fast enough if you step in front of her path.

please don’t go out of your way to give salt water to your cat

Advice to live by.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop fucking cats.

Are oceans getting saltier? The glaciers that are melting are pure freshwater

EDIT

I'm not an expert but from a quick googling it seems the oceans are getting LESS salty

Yes, but often as a result of a long diet with chronic dehydration from a kibble based diet.

The moisture cats consume is from their prey. The blood and juices of rodents and birds hydrate cats.

Canned/wet food cats tend to wind up with thyroid issues instead of kidney. (Well, sorta: there's evidence the BPAs in cans and mercury from fish as a reason for that.)

yep, usually the first organ to fail in old cats, so the superpower seems to come with a drawback. edit: removed inaccurate statements
