They say the same thing about horses because of their kidney to body size ratio but it’s simply not true. It might help them survive on saltwater longer than a human would but it’s still a death march.
I could see that since horses require a salt lick anyway.
I feel like that just because of their body size and the fact that they sweat.
Still, that’s pretty impressive. Cats are absolutely incredible animals. I’m thankful the “worst behaved cats” still love me for whatever reason because I’ve been able to see some of the crazy shit they do.
My parents have an entirely blind 18 year old cat. She can navigate the entire house eats fine, plays a bit. Hops up and down furniture, finds the sunbathing spots, uses the litter just fine. You do have to keep an eye out for her if your moving around as she can’t smell fast enough if you step in front of her path.
The fact that you need to tell people not to intentionally give their cat salt water is telling of how far we’ve regressed as a society.
Amazing animal.
