Cogito Ergo Nom
JReynolds:
I checked out the new t-shirt that's coming out: http://www.questionablecontent.net/merch.php
It probably says something about my thought processes that my first thought was: "I hope that those are raisins in the cookie that the cat is eating. Chocolate is poisonous to cats."
Then I thought: is chocolate poison to cats? I think I read it somewhere, but I'm not 100% on it.
Then I thought: since the cat is wearing safety goggles and a lab coat, and is standing up, perhaps this is a sapient cat, genetic-engineered to tolerate, or even enjoy, chocolate.
Thus did I muse. Also: cute t-shirt design.
Vendetagainst:
Chocolate is quite toxic to almost all animals, including the closely-related great apes.
mustang6172:
My first thought is that it's a not so subtle Garfield reference.
Mad Cat:
Chocolate only kills... those between me and it.
Honestly, the question is not whether or not chocolate is toxic to animals. It's toxic to EVERYTHING. The question is, to a given animal, it's toxic in what dosage?
Humans have the right enzymes to break it down rather effectively, so it takes an ungodly amount to kill us. I know. I've tried.
Dogs, cats, and other vermin lack those enzymes and so can only survive rather small doses.
Tybalt:
OP, I want to have your brain. That is just the weirdest reaction.
