Not Feline These Vegetables

(A woman comes in with her sick cat.)
Woman: “I don’t know what happened. She was very healthy when I adopted her.”
Me: “Did she eat something she shouldn’t have?”
Woman: “I am very careful about what ends up in her tummy. I make sure she gets only the best vegetarian meals.”
Me: “Excuse me, vegetarian?”
Woman: “Oh yes, I cannot stand meat consumption.”
Me: “Ma’am, cats are strictly carnivorous. Did your cat say she was okay with converting to your lifestyle?”
Woman: “Of course not, animals can’t consent… Oh…”
(I’m still getting headaches when I try to understand why that woman had to be told what I told her. The cat was held at the animal hospital until it was in good health and ready to be adopted. The woman agreed the cat was better with someone else. I’m vegetarian myself, but I would never feed my snake vegetables. Piece of advice guys: if you are vegetarian or vegan and won’t even feed meat to your pet, please get a herbivorous pet.)
