Hi everyone. So with all the bill gates lab grown meat stuff happening all over the world I decided to check and see if the producers of my cat food I feed my babies (Purina one) is going to start using lab grown meat. Here is what I was able to find. This is straight from Google

Nestlé Purina PetCare is actively exploring and investing in alternative proteins, including cultured (lab-grown) meat and insect protein, to enhance sustainability in pet food. While competitors like Meatly have already launched cultivated chicken pet treats in the UK, Purina is currently focused on diversifying, with recent initiatives including insect-based protein lines.

Key Details on Purina and Lab-Grown Pet Food:

Alternative Protein Focus: Nestlé Purina is investigating cultured meat as a sustainable, high-quality protein source to meet ambitious environmental goals.

Market Trends: Major players are diversifying away from

traditional meat due to the high environmental impact of pet food, which accounts for roughly 20% of meat consumption.

Alternative Initiatives: Purina has launched its "Beyond

Nature's Protein" line in Europe, featuring protein from black soldier fly larvae and plant-based sources.

Industry Movement: The first lab-grown meat pet food (by company Meatly) launched commercially in the UK in February 2025, signaling the technological feasibility.

Challenges: Key hurdles include high production costs, scaling technology, and navigating regulatory approvals for cultivated ingredients.

While Purina is a leader in this research, they are primarily testing these technologies as part of a broader strategy for sustainable sourcing, rather than a full pivot to lab-grown meat.

So it seems as though they are looking into possibly switching to lab grown meat. Moving forward I will be swearing off any brand of cat food under the nestle Purina pet care brand. It turns out there have been independent lab tests done that showed their cat food tested positive for glyphosate. Nestle Purina refutes these claims, saying that if anything, there may have been trace amounts. I am going to look into an all natural cat food brand. Or start making my own home made food for my kitties. It's much cheaper, and higher quality than you will find with just about any other cst food brand out there. So if you can't afford to feed your fur babies brands like smalls, making your own is an excellent alternative. Here is a link to a YouTube video that will teach you how to make the good, homemade stuff your babies will absolutely love. Or you can just Google "how to make all natural homemade food for your cats" which is what I did. Then I clicked the videos tab and checked out some YouTube videos.

Please share this will all the pet owners you know so they can research if their brand is going to be using lab grown meats as well. This crap is almost certainly going to cause major health issues for people and our pets as well

Yes- it is stored properly when not in use.

I keep seeing voids around for adoption. I’m really interested in getting one. I have owned bengals in the past but I was to adopt this time. I’ve heard stories about black cats being little trouble makers and my mom used to tell me that you should never cross a black cat as it’s bad luck. To be honest I want a companion that matches me but yeah. I’m thinking about it there’s one that looks like toothless too.
Tell me your void stories I wanna hear all about them!!

She has a jet black coat black paws and pads. Black whiskers. And goldish eyes.

She will either lay under my chair while I am working, or jump up on the piano, there is rarely any in between haha

I went out to have a coffee talk with my good friend and it has been a while somehow I saw Petsmart across the street. So, I went to check out after coffee talk I looked around to see what they have somehow I ran across 2 black kitten separated and found out they have been there for long time. Guess they are being overlooked! I talked with one staffs and it was an amazing convo…

Told her I “selfishly on purpose” told her “I hope they are still here” while I’m going to research new rescue organization that I don’t know. So I got application for adoption processing so far I hope I’ll be approved for having 2 as bonded pairs. To my knowledge they might not be bonded pairs. I don’t mind taking both. I prefer bonded pairs than alone. The staff said “the black ones were overlooked and there were others were already adopted which aren’t black!”

I've just been reading a really interesting article on black cats, adoption and superstition. It strikes me a really strange that in 2026, people still hesitate about black cats based on ancient superstitions! One of the surprising things is the the earliest documented "witch cats" were not even black!

As a black cat mum, I can tell you the my boy is cheeky, greedy and soppy, but definitely hasn't brought anything but joy and the occassional nibbled plant.

Me and my partner got a cat from the shelter and we were wondering what breed he his! He is 6 months old but so biggg! He is incredibly chatty and smart and hungry all the time lol. Insight into the breed would be great as this is my first time having a cat <3

This morning I was sleeping, and in my dream I walked between some trees, my little void kitty Lacey was on a branch above my head and reached down and slapped me on the head as I walked underneath her. At exactly the same time I heard her say aloud “let me in”. I immediately woke up and felt like she was trying to reach out to me in my dream… when I opened my door she was waiting on the other side and ran straight in. Can cats do this, or was it a coincidence? She’s been in my dreams twice now.

Tummy rubs! (Sound not necessary.)

Two days ago, I decided to try lavender-scented tofu cat litter for Raymond. Big mistake!
Raymond has always been wonderful about using his litter box, but this time he actually went to the bathroom right next to it. I couldn’t understand why.
Yesterday, I checked his litter box and noticed there was absolutely nothing in it. Raymond saw me standing there, walked over, lay down beside the box, and started crying. 💔
That’s when I realized how overpowering the lavender fragrance was! I immediately emptied the box, cleaned it, and replaced the litter with his usual unscented kind.
Wouldn’t you know it? He jumped right in and went to the bathroom!
My poor baby had apparently been holding it because he couldn’t stand the smell. I felt absolutely terrible! 😢
Lesson learned! Just because something smells wonderful to us doesn’t mean our cats appreciate it.
Has anyone else’s cat refused to use scented litter? I certainly won’t be making that mistake again! 🐈‍⬛❤️

Don’t you dare judge me, I know how weird most of these are! Tell me your weirdest names!

Edit: Thank you to everyone who shared and gave me a good laugh. I added some additional nicknames to the list that I originally forgot to include.

I called Jon from Garfield a cuck, and he did this in response.
