We feed our cat a little petroleum jelly to get his insides lubricated. This was prescribed by a vet after he was very constipated. That was an expensive vet visit
feed your cat lithium grease and watch them become a 9 volt battery.
What makes this a "transistor" battery?
it's not so much what it is, but what uses it.
late transistor radios required small high powered batteries. according to Wikipedia 22.5v batteries were popular in early transistor radios.
these 9 volt batteries were popular in powering these late transistor radios, the transistors specifically. hence the name.
The inventor of vaseline ate a spoonful every day. He promoted it as wonder goo, fit for everything and anything. NGL it is pretty great, on the outside. Well, and a fistful of inches deep as well but no farther.
Does that work with humans this is not a medical question this is a personal experience question
To be clear this is not just straight petroleum jelly it's formulated for cats, but the tube says 98% petroleum jelly with maple flavor
Like fuck I'll eat anything that's 2% maple am I a cat
Interesting they went with a sweet flavour; I always figured since cats are obligate carnivores that sweet things wouldn't be very attractive to them.
My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. My dog hunts down chocolate knowing it will make her puke. Animals are weird.
Also deer are known to eat mice and birds and eggs and even dead rabbits.
I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone gets an appetite for it.
That rabbit was very lucky to have had such a strong stomach, rabbits in general are unable to digest foods high in protein and gastric upset in rabbits can be fatal. Its one of the scariest things as a rabbit owner.
Yeah. I don't know how long it lived, at least a year since then, after that who knows. Rabbits aren't very long lived to begin with, and even less so when they sell them at the fair as tiny bunnies not neutered or spayed. Once you know how much work they are it seems kind of criminal.
A domestic rabbit has an expected life span of about 8-12 years which I'd say is decently long
But yeah, that will shorten their life span for sure. Rabbits are a lot of work too and they're not for everyone! Most people don't really know or care about the work that's required to really take proper care of them.
Interesting, I thought cats couldn't even taste sugar/sweet
I am not even sure if they do. They may just be dumb or too lazy to walk over to their water bowl.
Maybe they like the taurine in redbull
I had the same thought but he gets so very excited when we pull out the tube.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re not supposed to put the whole tube in
Well, the inventor of Vaseline thought so
Mmm dino cum
I read that discworld doesn't he explode and keep on going
Petroleum jelly would work, but it's not intended for consumption. If you do want petroleum products intended for consumption that will do exactly the same thing, get some mineral oil
And go a tbsp every hour or so. I've seen so many videos of people drinking shots or larger of that stuff and stating they inhabited the bathroom all night.
If you want jelly, just get some Jello or a jar of jelly. Seriously!
Look man. If you're constipated, just get some burritos with extra beans!
burritos aren't real man. they're a conspiracy by the government to... okay this one doesn't fit i'm changing it back hold on.
I don't know about petroleum jelly, but I know you can drink mineral oil as a laxative, and that's basically the same stuff just runny.
