Cogito Ergo Nom
raoullefere:
Chocolate versus raisins. I'm wondering how good raisins are for kitty? I mean, given the shortness of the feline intestine, it looks to me as though it was pass through intact. Ouch.
Also, some cats are definitely gluttons. I checked in on a friend's cat once while he was out of town for a couple of days. My friend had left a small mountain of food out for his cat, so kitty wouldn't get hungry before I could provide a refill. That cat had eaten until he had the scours (yellow, liquidy waste) and yet when I arrived was dragging himself back from the litterbox directly to the food dish for another serving.
As for dogs, I never heard all this stuff 'bout no chocolate. "Round here, what you don't want to feed yore dawg is some sweet pataters. It will kill him, graveyard ded."
Phonetic exaggerations aside, it turns out dogs are nomming sweet potatoes all over the place and very ungratefully staying perfectly healthy, despite the warnings that say they should not. Apparently, no matter the human food, somewhere there is a dog that will thrive on it. My aunt's husky gorges herself on chocolate every December because my aunt cannot seem to grasp the idea that, no matter how deeply she buries the two or three pound box of chocolates in piles of other stuff, the dog can still smell it. For that matter, this same dog once ate a half-pound peppermint candle my aunt had left out on a counter 'safely out of the dog's reach.' And still it lives. I know I don't want to think about what my stool would be like if I ate eight ounces of peppermint-impregnated parafin.
Edit: it was pass through intact/ it would pass through intact; after all, all your base, they belong to us.

Chocolate isn't poisonous to rats. When my rat Sabina had an upper respiratory infection I gave her some semi sweet chocolate to help clear it up.

What's wrong with us then?

Ok so here is my take on the shirt...
The cat knows thats eating chocolate could be deadly or at the very least bowel exploding. Now the phrase Congito Ergo Nom to me means that even though he knows all this he doesn't care cuz cookies are just soo damn good. The cat is basically performing a Social Scientific experiment on himself, hence the goggles and lab jacket. Knowing the possibility of bad effects does one still attempt to enjoy the things they love.
K there was my attempt at overthinking.
