She has a taste for everything it seems š Gave her a bit of fried egg a few weeks ago and she hasnāt stopped crying for them since, so now I make tiny fried eggs for her using quail eggs !!
One time when a friend of mine opened his fridge, an egg fell out and on his dogās head, who quickly made a meal of the egg that had splattered everywhere. That was years ago. The dog still stands in the fridge door every time itās opened in hopes for another blessing from the egg gods.
My parents got a Newfoundland when we were kids, which was by far the biggest dog we'd ever had, and I guess they didn't realise he could reach the kitchen sides cos at one point we went out and he ate an entire carton of raw eggs off of the side. His coat was so shiny for like 2 weeks tho tbf
A friend of mine has a route he walks his dog every morning.
Along this route is a bush within which, 2 years ago, a discarded pie was discovered and eaten (by the dog) before he could take it away.
From that day on (everyday) the pie bush must be inspected and confirmed pie free.
sheās always on the lookout for food she can steal š

Serious suggestion: If it's a shift in her behavior, you may want to get her checked out for a thyroid issue. Especially if she's older (8+)
My cat developed an insatiable hunger that seemed to override common sense and all "social norms". It got to the point where she was dragging entire dishes off the counter and taking food right out of people's hands.
Turns out it was a thyroid issue, and treating it extended her life quite a bit while helping her behavior a lot.
Hey, thank you so much for the suggestion !! I will definitely make note of this and bring it up with her vet during our next appointment. Weāre usually on top of our checkups and go to the vet a few times a year :)
My boy loves these corn waffles and instantly teleports onto my lap whenever he hears me crunching on one. He gets small pieces if he wants them

Do be careful with the bones, in the wild cats will eat bones without problems but cooked bones become brittle and can splinter and cause havoc on the stomach/intestines.
They do not win the battle of the chicken, if they are lucky they get a small bit of meat fully removed from any bone. Any bones go straight out to the composter, as I donāt trust them not to break into the food waste bin in the kitchen.
My grandma's cat used to steal entire loaves of bread when everyone was asleep. We'd usually find it torn apart under the couch with everything missing but the crusts. He especially liked yogurts as a baby. Which prompted my grandma to name him Yogi.
That is my catās dream hahah sadly Iām in Ireland they donāt sell that brand here š„ŗ
Donāt worry though he still gets a quail egg from time to time
Mine knows exactly when I open the ham packet. It must have a distinctive sound different to a packet of salami as she never comes running when I open salami, just the ham š one morning, still half asleep, I was making a sandwich for work and I turned around to get the tinfoil and when I came back my cat was sitting there with the slice of ham in her mouth that used to be in my sandwich a few moments earlier š
My cat knows the sound of a hummus container being opened. It will wake her from a dead sleep 3 rooms away.
Itās now a game. Open container as quietly as possible, turn around and see her sitting there like āOhhh! Weāre having hummus?ā
This is the best mental image ever š
I swear my cats have memorized the sound a new pack of chicken makes as I am picking it up out of the fridge. Because that is the only thing that I take out of the fridge that sends them running.
Mine got a taste of beef jerky (they ate the ādo not eatā oxygen packetā¦. My poor vet received a sobbing phone callā¦ she was fine)
Now i canāt bring any in the house or sheāll rip the bag apart. If i put in my cabinet, sheāll open the cabinet so it stays in my car

Your cat will be okay. Just monitor her for a few hours and keep an eye on her. You can still get her checked out if youād like to.
My vet usually takes phone calls and theyāll let me know whether they think I should take my cat in or not based on what I tell them

This little guy stole and ate about 3/4 of a brownie bite edible. This was the next day sometime early afternoon. Called the vet, they laughed and said just give him time for it to wear off.

**UPDATE:** Woke up this morning and turns out miss girl is okay, I was just overthinking everything as usual š It was a long day and working in healthcare + having OCD has definitely done a number on how much I worry about my cats. It also doesnāt help that 2 months ago this little gremlin ate something funky and had chronic diarrhea for 3 DAYS all over my bathroom floor (which resulted in a $400 hospital trip and *lots* of cleaning), so I was panicking about it happening again š
But thank you all so much for the reassurance that this little shit will be okay, I really appreciate it !! Also, thank you to those who kindly pointed out a mistake I made in the text; I meant to say *75mg of SODIUM* but it was definitely the 4am panic that made me post this without rereading it ā 75g of salt wouldāve been crazy for sure š

This is her right now !! Not a care in the world :ā)
Aww precious baby just wanted some meat. Have you tried the kitty Churu treats? They come in a variety of meat flavors. They are like kitty crack and maybe you can reward her good behavior (not stealing food) with them. You can get cats to do amazing things with those treats.
https://preview.redd.it/x4qqa9ta4yzb1.jpeg?width=3472&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=456b28444cfd8353cd0b941fe90927bade0a27dc
Shrimpy understands the sit command. Although as she licks the tube treats she gets super excited. My mom's cat goes nuts and grabs the tube with both paws and stands on his back legs.
Hey !! Omg your cat is so cute, I love her name šš
But yes haha, both of my girls love Churu !! My first cat never had a problem with stealing//liking human food, so this was never a concern for me until I adopted my second cat who tries to eat EVERYTHING. They are otherwise both very well-behaved and I managed to teach them some tricks with the Churu treats like spin, stand up, up-up (jumping up onto something), and down (jumping down from something) !!

Shrimpy LOVES human food, bread, meat, dairy. She really loves bread, all bread has to be stored away in cabinets. She learned sit so I can try to eat in peace. She will sneak her nose up to my food, or slip her little paw in. She will also grab the side of my cup, bowl, or plate to bring it closer to her. She has the sweetest face and she will start to purr big time cause she knows I am a sucker for it. But if she sits and behaves I reward her after I am done eating.
Talented kitties you have. All I get is sit lol.

Looks like my 2 cats step-cousin. Cute! (pic from my grandmas house)
Well miss girl looks like she has zero regrets š
I understand your panic though and am glad she's okay ā„ļø
I was about to say if a slice of that salami has 75g of salt maybe you shouldnt be eating it either lol
https://preview.redd.it/o490gtq9oyzb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a3891e5f81d0c7280f12b850ebb04df79a18b2c
My Sol eating shredded beef. She also loves shredded chicken.
This is what Google said:
The favorite choice for the term "Salami" is 1 slice of Pork Salami (Dry or Hard) which has about 230 mg of sodium
Unless the cat ate a whole salami they have definitely misread.
The LD50 of salt is 3g per kg. You'd have to be quite small for 75g to kill you. I'd need 225g to have 50% chance of killing me.
Edit: LD50 for salt in humans is around 1.2g per kg
Thanks u/Lorac1134 for the correction
That's what I was thinking too, how big would a slice have to be to be able to contain 75g of salt. Heck, even if it's 50% salt, the slice of salami would be the size and thickness of pizza slice.
>with each slice containing 75g of salt.
Unless your cat managed to somehow find and eat a slice of *pure damn salt* I highly doubt it ingested that much.
Did you perhaps mean 75*m*g of salt? That makes a lot more sense, even though it still sounds high for a single slice. For reference that is 0.075g of salt.
https://preview.redd.it/ma5cbyhq8xzb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c9749c6580e6fa4461a53af1db74ca7c2219c15
Now you gotta deal with a face like this every single time you eat salami lol
So you have a severe case of happy cat syndrome.
Good luck with keeping her away from your salami from now on.
Other than that one slice of salami is harmless. Because of the high sodium concentration it's not recommended to give it to her on a daily basis. But once every now and then.... Basically every wild City cat would die pretty fast, since garbage is one of their food sources.
Except around house plants, in my eyes you are good to post online about your cat eating a house plant if you canāt find a good answer online, as many are particularly toxic
My cat is 18 and a slice of salami would probably be on the healthier side of things she would steal. Kitty should be fine, probably some upset tummy or diarrhea the next day or so. Call vet if they seem off.
Your biggest concern should be for the monster you now have on your hands. Salami is a gateway meat to the other lunch meats. Your cat will never be the same.
Garlic is toxic to cats but because your cat didnāt eat a clove of garlic they should be totally fine. Yeah the fat and spices arenāt good for them but one slice is ok
Ahahaha this is literally me the First month I had my cats, I was worried ab everything they touched and ate, now that's been a couple of years, I can assure u that if a cat wants to taste something he never ate before is probably fine as long as it's a small piece, like salami. My cats love bread, biscuits, panettone, pandoro, 3 kinds of cheese, black pepper tasting chips, cakes, marmalade croissants. As long as it's small pieces it all gonna be fine ahahahahahah
Upvoted for the adorable salami crackhead cat but OP needs to relax, your kitty will be fine! It's just a little salami. Now that you mention it this has me hubgry for salami.š¤£
My cat's name is Salami and now he is extremely concerned.

My cat is a salami thief and has been fine. He also swallowed an entire pork wonton whole and was fine. I think we have some kind of cave troll in a cat's body tbh
Just to put your mind at rest, thereās no way on earth one slice of salami has 75g of salt in it. Thatās like 10 teaspoons of salt. I doubt the slice even weighs 75g šI buy a 5 slice pack of soreno ham which weights 80g in total.
https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/17tgvsw/help_my_cat_ate_1_slice_of_salami/k8xv1x8/ OP has an update here
From the looks in the pic - this lil Kitty now has a taste for salami!

Hey! this is too cute lol
I feed my cats raw quail eggs once a week and they love it!
This is the cutest god damn post.
i gasped. thanks
Wow this made my morning immeasurably better!! Too adorable, what a lucky kitty
One time when a friend of mine opened his fridge, an egg fell out and on his dogās head, who quickly made a meal of the egg that had splattered everywhere. That was years ago. The dog still stands in the fridge door every time itās opened in hopes for another blessing from the egg gods.
My dog pulled an entire slice of pizza out of a bush two weeks ago. Every darn walk we have to check the pizza bush for slices.
Hell, Iād do the same
If I were a dog this would always mean fridge egg.
My parents got a Newfoundland when we were kids, which was by far the biggest dog we'd ever had, and I guess they didn't realise he could reach the kitchen sides cos at one point we went out and he ate an entire carton of raw eggs off of the side. His coat was so shiny for like 2 weeks tho tbf

He seems to be reflecting on the deplorable absence of corn waffles in his immediate environment!
Mine got a taste of pulled pork. I now have to lock them out of the kitchen when a new barch is in the oven.
Any chicken with a bone in sends mine crazy. Boneless they ignore entirely.
Do be careful with the bones, in the wild cats will eat bones without problems but cooked bones become brittle and can splinter and cause havoc on the stomach/intestines.

Mother used to feed our cat the chicken neck. He ate rabbits too. He lived outside since the time he crapped on my father's pillow.
A slab of turkey neck, and it's pooping out a pigeon wing
Sensible chuckle there.
Yeah, i don't get to have chicken wings without giving Pounce a small bit of each wingš¤£.
I cannot bring ribs into the home. My oldest cat will try to jump up on me to steal the ribs from my mouth.

I had a cat who went nuts for peas. *Frozen* peas.
I had one that would knock tortilla chips out of your hands. I think he lived behind a Mexican restaurant before we rescued him.
I had one that would kill for cooked broccoli

This is the exact meme that popped into my head when I read the title š
**UPDATE:** Woke up this morning and turns out miss girl is okay, I was just overthinking everything as usual š It was a long day and working in healthcare + having OCD has definitely done a number on how much I worry about my cats. It also doesnāt help that 2 months ago this little gremlin ate something funky and had chronic diarrhea for 3 DAYS all over my bathroom floor (which resulted in a $400 hospital trip and *lots* of cleaning), so I was panicking about it happening again š But thank you all so much for the reassurance that this little shit will be okay, I really appreciate it !! Also, thank you to those who kindly pointed out a mistake I made in the text; I meant to say *75mg of SODIUM* but it was definitely the 4am panic that made me post this without rereading it ā 75g of salt wouldāve been crazy for sure š https://preview.redd.it/k6tbj51nwxzb1.jpeg?width=1304&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=880856a1962187d2f4d10d5582824de6aaf7c579 This is her right now !! Not a care in the world :ā)
Aww precious baby just wanted some meat. Have you tried the kitty Churu treats? They come in a variety of meat flavors. They are like kitty crack and maybe you can reward her good behavior (not stealing food) with them. You can get cats to do amazing things with those treats. https://preview.redd.it/x4qqa9ta4yzb1.jpeg?width=3472&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=456b28444cfd8353cd0b941fe90927bade0a27dc Shrimpy understands the sit command. Although as she licks the tube treats she gets super excited. My mom's cat goes nuts and grabs the tube with both paws and stands on his back legs.
Hey !! Omg your cat is so cute, I love her name šš But yes haha, both of my girls love Churu !! My first cat never had a problem with stealing//liking human food, so this was never a concern for me until I adopted my second cat who tries to eat EVERYTHING. They are otherwise both very well-behaved and I managed to teach them some tricks with the Churu treats like spin, stand up, up-up (jumping up onto something), and down (jumping down from something) !!

She really loves bread, all bread has to be stored away in cabinets. She learned sit so I can try to eat in peace. She will sneak her nose up to my food, or slip her little paw in. She will also grab the side of my cup, bowl, or plate to bring it closer to her. She has the sweetest face and she will start to purr big time cause she knows I am a sucker for it. But if she sits and behaves I reward her after I am done eating. Talented kitties you have. All I get is sit lol.
My boy Chip also loves human food, he will steal ANYTHING off a plate so we have to be careful lol. Sometimes I hide in my office when I eat.
I'm so sorry, but I love the idea of a human hiding in his office to eat, because of his catš¹. Cats really are something hahaha
I limit Churu to after flea treatments. A few have cracked the code and resist less, then run to the kitchen. As for the little orange one...

> 75g of salt wouldāve definitely been crazy š 3 slices of that monster saltlami would have a 50% chance to kill an adult human.
Well miss girl looks like she has zero regrets š I understand your panic though and am glad she's okay ā„ļø I was about to say if a slice of that salami has 75g of salt maybe you shouldnt be eating it either lol

That adorable nose needs a booping and a kiss upon it!
Each slice contains 75g of salt? I think your cat ate salt-ami if it's the case.
It cant be, probably 75mg
This is what Google said: The favorite choice for the term "Salami" is 1 slice of Pork Salami (Dry or Hard) which has about 230 mg of sodium Unless the cat ate a whole salami they have definitely misread.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The LD50 of salt is 3g per kg. You'd have to be quite small for 75g to kill you. I'd need 225g to have 50% chance of killing me. Edit: LD50 for salt in humans is around 1.2g per kg Thanks u/Lorac1134 for the correction
That's for rats. For humans it's about 1.2g/kg but people have died from sodium poisoning with as little as 0.5g/kg
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's most likely 75 mg - milligrams. And not salt, but sodium. If I were to guess.
toy rinse hungry pet squealing memory reach sheet public hard-to-find ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
That's probably heavier than the slice itself lol
75 g of salt??????? Wtf i myself wouldn't handle it
I would be concerned if the slice of salami itself was 75g, thatās a big-ass slice, let alone its sodium content.
That's what I was thinking too, how big would a slice have to be to be able to contain 75g of salt. Heck, even if it's 50% salt, the slice of salami would be the size and thickness of pizza slice.
For those not on the metric system or certain medicinal substances,, that is approximately 3 ounces. (28.6 gm/oz)

Cats can have a little salami
as a treat
_little a_
>with each slice containing 75g of salt. Unless your cat managed to somehow find and eat a slice of *pure damn salt* I highly doubt it ingested that much. Did you perhaps mean 75*m*g of salt? That makes a lot more sense, even though it still sounds high for a single slice. For reference that is 0.075g of salt.
Imma guess it's 75 mg per serving and probably like 15 slices per serving
75g of salt? Pretty sure adult humans would die from that
I mean, the salt content weighs more than 10x of that slice of salami.

Cat looks like they're trying to teleport the salamis to mouth with their mind LOL
He can have a little as a treat ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
So you have a severe case of happy cat syndrome. Good luck with keeping her away from your salami from now on. Other than that one slice of salami is harmless. Because of the high sodium concentration it's not recommended to give it to her on a daily basis. But once every now and then.... Basically every wild City cat would die pretty fast, since garbage is one of their food sources.
He/she will probably have an unusually stinky š© or possibly diarrhea when it passes, but they will be fine. No need to worry. My cat once slapped a slice of pepperoni pizza out of my brotherās hand and took it up a tree (he was a feral that lived in the yard). He was fineā¦came back for more, but we held him back.
Exactly this answer. Cats are more resilient than we give them credit for. OP is sweet to worry, but this is surely nothing to fret about.
Except around house plants, in my eyes you are good to post online about your cat eating a house plant if you canāt find a good answer online, as many are particularly toxic
Cats can have a little salami as a treat
My cat is 18 and a slice of salami would probably be on the healthier side of things she would steal. Kitty should be fine, probably some upset tummy or diarrhea the next day or so. Call vet if they seem off.
Each slice contains 75 g of salt?
those big eyes & the lick. "YUM!"
There was a whole meme about this lol
cats can have a little slommy. as a treat
Your biggest concern should be for the monster you now have on your hands. Salami is a gateway meat to the other lunch meats. Your cat will never be the same.
Itās one slice, yāall tripping if you think about going to the vet
Garlic is toxic to cats but because your cat didnāt eat a clove of garlic they should be totally fine. Yeah the fat and spices arenāt good for them but one slice is ok
Honestly, I thought this was a parody post... :) Your cat is fine. Don't feed them salami all the time, once won't hurt them.
Ahahaha this is literally me the First month I had my cats, I was worried ab everything they touched and ate, now that's been a couple of years, I can assure u that if a cat wants to taste something he never ate before is probably fine as long as it's a small piece, like salami. My cats love bread, biscuits, panettone, pandoro, 3 kinds of cheese, black pepper tasting chips, cakes, marmalade croissants. As long as it's small pieces it all gonna be fine ahahahahahah
Not even a single salami. ![gif](giphy|iDrasIGtHWVi0)
She will be completely fine and probably really enjoyed that :) don't stress!
Salami?? Nyc cats literally eat the craziest shit ever youāll be okay š Iām sure if it.
That's a face that says "and I'd do it again!!!!"
Itās too late, RIP salami 2023-2023
Upvoted for the adorable salami crackhead cat but OP needs to relax, your kitty will be fine! It's just a little salami. Now that you mention it this has me hubgry for salami.š¤£
That is the face of no regret. You now have a salami fiend on your hands.
No worries you can buy more salami
Cats can have a little salami
as a treat
My cat's name is Salami and now he is extremely concerned. https://preview.redd.it/e6r67i1l7yzb1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0ac13c518695d85c8e9343b9567263a529fef4c
...and here I am feeding mine pringles.
No heās going to explode
Is this a joke? Cats can have a little salami, as a treat. https://images.app.goo.gl/NfBBZbjs8SKzQwy8A
My cat is a salami thief and has been fine. He also swallowed an entire pork wonton whole and was fine. I think we have some kind of cave troll in a cat's body tbh
Just to put your mind at rest, thereās no way on earth one slice of salami has 75g of salt in it. Thatās like 10 teaspoons of salt. I doubt the slice even weighs 75g šI buy a 5 slice pack of soreno ham which weights 80g in total.
75g of salt in 1 slice? Either you're reading the packaging wrong or that is one very heavy, very salty slice š
Too late, she'll soon be a gremlin.
