Did you know that cats only have 473 taste buds1? Humans have about 9‚000 taste buds. This means that a cat lacks a lot of flavor sensors‚ mainly sweet and also spicy. These flavors simply don’t register the same as with us when a cat eats them. Whether they can taste them or not‚ cats shouldn’t eat spicy foods‚ like Takis‚ as most spicy foods contain harmful ingredients like onions‚ citric acid‚ and chili powder. So‚ can cats eat Takis? No‚ Takis contain harmful ingredients to your cat and can cause stomach upset and other negative signs. What Are Takis? Takis are Mexican rolled tortilla chips eaten by many spicy food lovers. They can be flavored with chili‚ lime‚ and salt. So‚ what’s in Takis? What makes them spicy? Below is a list of ingredients these chips contain: Corn Palm oil Maltodextrin Citric Acid Salt Corn starch Spices Onion and garlic powder Chili powder Dextrose Sesame oil Sodium citrate Are Takis Bad for Cats? Image Credit: chie hidaka‚ Shutterstock Takis are exceptionally spicy and salty‚ meaning they can be dangerous for your cat to ingest. Most cats are sensitive to the capsaicin found in spicy foods like chili powder. It may cause digestive irritation and upset‚ including vomiting‚ diarrhea‚ and stomach pain. Eating high amounts of onion and garlic‚ or garlic and onion powder‚ can cause an upset stomach‚ loss of appetite‚ bowel disturbances‚ and dehydration. Garlic and onions are in the Alliums family‚ which are highly toxic to our feline friends‚ potentially resulting in red blood cell destruction if eaten in high enough amounts. Another ingredient‚ salt‚ depending on how much was ingested‚ has the potential to be harmful to your cat. If your cat consumes too much salt‚ they may experience excessive thirst‚ lethargy‚ and diarrhea‚ among other severe signs. Though rare‚ some cats can have an allergy or intolerance to corn. For these cats‚ eating Takis could result in digestive issues or scratching‚ ear infections‚ and other skin issues. Yes‚ Takis are bad for cats. The ingredients in Takis chips are harmful and don’t benefit your cat. So‚ what if they got into your bag or ate a few chips? Don’t panic. First‚ you may choose to monitor their signs closely and provide plenty of water to flush their system. If your cat experiences any of the below signs‚ call your vet: Vomiting Weakness or wobbliness Twitching or convulsions Stiffness Lack of appetite Diarrhea or constipation A Cats’ Regular Diet Image Credit: catinrocket‚ Shutterstock A healthy cat requires high amounts of protein‚ moderate levels of fat‚ and few carbs. Cats are known carnivores‚ so they require a high meat-content diet to stay healthy. Feeding them commercial cat food formulated for their specific needs is more sustainable than feeding them human food though they are able to handle some healthy human treats like apples‚ carrots‚ and lean‚ cooked meats in moderation. Always talk to your vet before giving your cat any human food. Final Words Cats play a vital role in our human lives as they help us emotionally‚ mentally‚ and physically. As a responsible cat owner‚ you will want to support your cat’s needs in every way‚ so avoiding Takis is best as the ingredients can cause digestive and other issues. If your cat accidentally eats some Takis‚ keep an eye out for any of the signs mentioned in this article. If any signs persist longer than 24-48 hours‚ call your vet. Takis will likely not severely harm your cat‚ though they may make them uncomfortable for a few days.

Union workers appear to join Arab-Americans incensed over the Biden Administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza as part of the coalition of Michiganders abandoning President Joe Biden. At least‚ this is what NBC News is conveying to viewers in its latest installment of an ongoing series which at this point should be reported to the FEC by the Biden campaign as an in-kind GOTV contribution. Watch as White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez interviews some more Arab-Americans that aren’t voting for Biden over Gaza: GABE GUTIERREZ: Another challenge for president Biden here? Cratering support for Michigan's huge Arab-American population‚ demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.  SAMRAA LUQMAN: I think he is funding a genocide.  GUTIERREZ: The president today said he understood that pain and passion‚ but that's not enough for Lori-Kamleh Ajlouny in the Detroit suburbs.  How disappointed are you with the Biden administration?  LORI_KAMLEH AJLOUNY: I am heartbroken. I am so hurt that it's a feeling of betrayal.  GUTIERREZ: She voted for Mr. Biden in 2020. But now --  AJLOUNY: There is a widespread underground campaign of Arabs‚ of Muslims where we cannot morally support President Biden.  GUTIERREZ: So if not President Biden‚ would you vote for former President Trump?  AJLOUNY: No.  GUTIERREZ: So who would you vote for?  AJLOUNY: I would write in on the ballot “ceasefire”. Free Palestine.  GUTIERREZ: Even though that could potentially give the election to former President Trump?  AJLOUNY: If things don't change‚ then I have no choice.  GUTIERREZ: In 2020‚ President Biden won Michigan by just 154‚000 votes. Losing Arab-Americans or union members could cost him the state. Today’s reporting is an undisclosed follow-up to NBC’s first panic report from Michigan‚ filed a month after Hamas’ barbaric Black Sabbath terrorist attack on October 7th. As we observed at the time: As the ground war escalates in Gaza you can expect to see more pieces‚ both in print and on screen‚ about festering anti-Biden discontent in places such as Detroit‚ Dearborn‚ and Hamtramck.  Ring the alarm. Alas‚ the ground war escalated in Gaza. And sure enough‚ Gabe Gutierrez is back in Michigan‚ asking the same questions of Arab-Americans angry at Biden over Gaza and rolling his eyes at the responses he is getting back- as in the case of the woman who indicated she’d write in “Ceasefire” or “Free Palestine” rather than voting for Biden or Trump. But the panic is real‚ as evidenced by the inclusion of blue-collar union workers to The Coalition of Folks Biden Was Presumed To Have Had in The Bag But Doesn’t. Whatever Biden is doing in Michigan is clearly not satisfactory to NBC‚ who conjured up fancy license plate graphics in order to show Trump’s polling advantage. As was the case with the previous report‚ and with comparable reports on ABC and CBS- the depicted truest‚ purest victim of both the economy and of Hamas’ barbarism always ends up being the electoral prospects of Joe Biden. With 9 months remaining until Election Day‚ expect many more such reports. Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on NBC Nightly News on Thursday‚ February 1st‚ 2024: LESTER HOLT: President Biden is in Battleground Michigan tonight‚ hoping to get more backing from auto workers‚ with new signs he is facing a very tight race there against Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Gabe Gutierrez has late details.  GABE GUTIERREZ: Just days after clinching a coveted endorsement from the United Auto Workers‚ president Biden back in Michigan tonight as the battle for this crucial swing state intensifies.  JOE BIDEN: We now have in large part‚ because of you and organized labor‚ the strongest economy in the whole damn world.  GUTIERREZ: Carpentry union worker Tracy Longenbarger credits Biden for bringing infrastructure jobs here.  TRACY LONGENBARGER: Joe Biden has kept us working‚ and he's labor friendly. And that's all I can ask for.  GUTIERREZ: But tonight‚ warning signs for the Biden campaign‚ including this new poll showing a potential head to head matchup here with GOP front-runner Donald Trump. Scott Mallenfort has been an auto worker for more than 20 years.  SCOTT MALLENFORT: I support Trump because I truly believe he does want what's best for the American worker.  GUTIERREZ: The former president is trying to peel off more of those blue collar voters‚ meeting with Teamsters leadership yesterday.  DONALD TRUMP: Over the years I have employed thousands and thousands of Teamsters‚ and they've done a great job.  GUTIERREZ: Another challenge for president Biden here? Cratering support for Michigan's huge Arab-American population‚ demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.  SAMRAA LUQMAN: I think he is funding a genocide.  GUTIERREZ: The president today said he understood that pain and passion‚ but that's not enough for Lori-Kamleh Ajlouny in the Detroit suburbs.  How disappointed are you with the Biden administration?  LORI_KAMLEH AJLOUNY: I am heartbroken. I am so hurt that it's a feeling of betrayal.  GUTIERREZ: She voted for Mr. Biden in 2020.

Free Palestine.  GUTIERREZ: Even though that could potentially give the election to former President Trump?  AJLOUNY: If things don't change‚ then I have no choice.  GUTIERREZ: In 2020‚ President Biden won Michigan by just 154‚000 votes. Losing Arab-Americans or union members could cost him the state. Lester.  HOLT: Gabe Gutierrez. Thank you.  

This wild story out of Mexico‚ wherein President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) is demanding that President Joe Biden apologize over a report published by ProPublica‚ would draw significant coverage under normal circumstances. Instead‚ it stands as an indictment of the terminal laziness of our intellectually incurious Regime Media. Per The Los Angeles Times: According to reports by ProPublica‚ Insight Crime and Germany’s Deutsche Welle‚ in 2010 the DEA investigated claims by a cooperating drug trafficker and a former campaign advisor that leaders of the Beltrán Leyva drug cartel gave the money to close confidants of López Obrador in 2006. But a wiretap of a conversation between the DEA informants and one of López Obrador’s top aides didn’t really confirm the donations‚ and U.S. officials later ordered the politically sensitive case closed.  The mere publication of the report was enough to send AMLO into a rage during his morning press conference‚ during which he demanded the aforementioned apology and threatened assistance to the United States on matters such as the fentanyl epidemic and the migrant crisis: “President Biden has to find out about this‚” López Obrador said. “How are we going to sit down at a table and talk about fighting drugs if one of their agencies is leaking information and damaging me? How are we going to talk about migration‚ how are we going to talk about fighting drugs or fentanyl?” The Biden administration has relied for some time on Mexico’s willingness to accept the return of migrants from third countries as a way of quickly returning migrants and asylum-seekers at the U.S. southwest border. It would be a political problem for Biden if Mexico refuses to continue doing so‚ or loosens up on its already weak efforts to control the flow of deadly opioids made in Mexico and smuggled into the United States. Given this not-so-veiled threat‚ and AMLO’s de facto control of the U.S. southern border‚ this should be a major story across the dial. The Spanish-language networks‚ of course‚ covered the story‚ which is to be expected given their overall coverage of Mexico. In Telemundo’s case‚ they even sought comment from the White House to no avail). But this story drew no such coverage on ABC‚ CBS‚ or NBC. Instead‚ we got an asteroid report from ABC‚ a hurricane hunter-style flight into the “atmospheric river” from CBS‚ and a report on Elmo’s viral check-in at NBC. You would think‚ given the networks’ recent shilling for the Biden border deal‚ that they’d at least pretend to be interested in covering AMLO’s threat to pull assistance. But no. Not even a little bit. There is an important parallel here with that other story that the networks recently turned a blind eye to: the Maduro dictatorship’s threat to block deportation flights into Venezuela over the Biden administration’s snapback of sanctions against its oil and gas industry. The sanctions are in response to the Maduro dictatorship’s refusal to reinstate opposition presidential María Corina Machado to the ballot.  The common thread running through both of those stories is that of a Latin American socialist (a dictator‚ in Maduro’s case) holding Biden over a barrel on immigration matters. Not exactly favorable to Biden’s prospects. Hence the silence.
