Cat food should be made with meat that cats naturally hunt, like mice and songbirds, instead of things like tuna, deer, and duck. Somehow I don’t think that would go over well with cat owners though.

Edit: weird typo

Mice can be farmed so it's viable, songbird though i'm not too sure so it would be a bit hard.

Maybe they should also have something like cricket or grasshopper. Or maybe cockroach flavour 💀

Ha, I forgot about insects! We also need to add spider and house centipede to the lineup.

You can get cat food with crickets as the protein.

Cat food flavor "Oops, all centipedes!"

Open the can and all the centipedes scatter.

Oh, so interactive food! The cat gets to hunt them on their own. Like reptiles do when live fed, which is one of the reasons humans farm mice (aside from laboratory experiments)

Song bird farming would be illegal in the US

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
