If cats can eat grass, entire mice, and weirdly even potato chips then I’m pretty sure salami is fine
They can get hydration out of ocean water. They have excellent kidneys. They’re literally one of the only mammals on land that can drink salt water, and get hydrated. They are extremely specialized to desert environments.
Well, it doesn’t. Kidney failure is the leading cause of death for cats. So much so that a Japanese professor is working on medication to improve kidney function in cats, which is expected to double their lifespan. Source
Cats are desert animals by origin and they have super efficient kidneys to retain as much water as possible. This also makes them much more fragile. Compare it to a highly tuned racing car, when you push it to the limit you get the most performance but also get more wear on the parts which reduces the lifespan.
My SO’s cat used to eat fries.
RIP Zora, you were a weirdo, and we loved you for it.
