This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's just...wrong? Cats have incredible kidneys and they can drink salt water.

To save other readers a search

"Anything over one gram of salt per two pounds of body weight is cause for concern," which means for a 5 lbs cat, it would take 2.5 grams of salt to cause concern. That is approximately 10 small orders of fries at McDonald's, or two entire bags of salty ass chips

Of course they get sodium from their food so don't feed them chips, but also yeah they can eat a ton of salt
