Imagine that you find a wild rabbit in your backyard! Its twitching nose and soft fur might tempt you to dream of having such an adorable creature as your new pet companion.

The post Can Cats Eat Lima Beans? Vet-Reviewed Precautions &; Health Guidelines by Misty Layne appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it‚ but all of these articles were assigned‚ contracted and paid for‚ so they aren't considered public domain. However‚ we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article‚ then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com. Beans are a popular staple throughout the world‚ used in many dishes‚ and enjoyed for their flavor and high protein content. While the most popular beans tend to be black beans‚ soybeans‚ and pinto beans‚ other beans do exist and are well-liked‚ like lima (or butter) beans. If you’re a fan of lima beans and cook with them often‚ you might wonder if these legumes are safe for your kitty. Can cats eat lima beans? The good news is that if your cat has recently snagged a lima bean or two from your meal‚ they should be absolutely fine. However‚ lima beans aren’t a wonderful addition to a cat’s diet for a few reasons. Read on to learn why. Are There Health Benefits to Giving Cats Lima Beans? There aren’t really any health benefits to feeding your cat lima beans. While this food is high in protein‚ it won’t really provide your pet with a boost of protein or nutrition. This is because felines are obligate carnivores meaning that they have dietary requirements that only meat can provide. Image Credit: Lotus Images‚ Shutterstock Cats get most of the nutrients they need from meat and need to eat meat to survive. While Lima beans have protein‚ this doesn’t necessarily mean that the protein is useful to a cat‚ as this depends on digestibility. That doesn’t mean your cat might not enjoy the occasional lima bean as a treat (although chances are‚ they’ll be more likely to play with it than eat it). But there are some caveats to giving this food to your pet. Are There Drawbacks to Feeding Lima Beans to Cats? Too many Lima beans going through your cat’s system is likely to cause some gastrointestinal upset as their body struggles to process them. In addition‚ if your cat fills up on Lima beans they are less likely to eat more nutritious foods which could lead to nutritional deficiencies over time. Important Things to Know About Lima Beans While cooked lima beans are not toxic to your kitty if they grab one off your plate‚ raw and uncooked ones are. Uncooked lima beans contain something called linamarin; when eaten by humans it turns to cyanide which is very toxic. For this reason uncooked lima beans are considered toxic to cats although no studies exist. While chances are your cat probably wouldn’t eat enough uncooked lima beans to cause anything other than stomach upset‚ there’s still a possibility cyanide poisoning could occur. Cyanide poisoning in animals can show up as restlessness‚ rapid breathing and drooling. It is vital to get your pet to the vet if your cat is unwell. So‚ never feed raw lima beans to your pet. But when cooking them‚ remember that beans should be plain with no seasonings. Some seasonings‚ like onion and garlic‚ are toxic to our pets‚ while other seasonings will simply cause stomach upset. Final Thoughts While you shouldn’t be alarmed if your cat steals a lima bean or two from your dinner plate‚ there are really no nutritional benefits to feeding lima beans to your cat. While cooked lima beans are unlikely to cause problems in very small quantities‚ you should be careful when giving them this food. Lima beans should always be cooked‚ as uncooked beans are probably toxic‚ and should always be plain to avoid toxic seasonings. As long as you follow those guidelines‚ though‚ your cat should be fine.

So many vampire-killing metaphors to choose from‚ here: The sun will rise on What We Do In the Shadows? The series has gotten a stake through the heart? However you want to phrase it‚ the truth remains: Vulture has confirmed that the beloved vampiric mockumentary has one more season to run (fly/flap/vamp) before it goes to its grave forever. What We Do In the Shadows was spun off from the 2014 movie of the same name‚ which followed a gaggle of vampires (including co-writers and directors Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi) just trying to live their undead lives in New Zealand. For the series (created by Clement and executive produced by Waititi)‚ the action shifted to happening Staten Island‚ with a a whole new set of characters. Vampire housemates Laszlo (Matt Berry)‚ Nadja (Natasia Demetriou)‚ Nandor (Kayvan Novak) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch)‚ along with Guillermo (Harvey Guillén)‚ Nandor’s human familiar‚ and the Guide (Kristen Schaal). Over its run‚ What We Do In the Shadows has earned 21 Emmy nominations‚ but only won a single award‚ for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes in 2022. The show’s fifth season ended in August. There’s no word yet on when the vampires will make their final bow‚ but while you wait‚ the five existing seasons are streaming on Hulu.

Artists express our care for the craft in different ways. Some seek out exciting new techniques‚ picking the brains of their favorite creators and adapting to their idol’s workflow. Others look inward‚ mining emotional veins and pushing deeper into the complexities of what drives us to paint‚ draw‚ sing‚ dance‚ write and build. It’s no wonder words of advice are so often traded in creative circles‚ folks desperately hoping to find new and exciting ways of honing their creativity. Of course‚ advice is not always welcome. For everyone modestly doling out these nuggets of wisdom‚ there are just as many people shoving them down throats. In the right context‚ talking about art is one of my favorite pass times‚ but I’m often hesitant to give out advice. The reason for this is simple: just because something works for me‚ doesn’t mean it works for anyone else. There’s no one correct path for crafting art‚ and some of the best creators made their impact by completely ignoring the well-worn trails that came before them. People often ask me—in a variety of different ways—how they too can become a successful writer. The truth is‚ I have no idea what journey will work for you. What I can speak on‚ however‚ is the journey that works for me. With this in mind‚ I’ll offer up the simplest distillation of my own creative process: love is the most powerful artistic fuel there is‚ and I’m not afraid to use it. Let’s step back a bit—way‚ way back. In a grand‚ philosophical sense we know very little about our own existence. If you want to hone in on certainty‚ then Descartes’ “I think therefore I am” is just about the extent of any absolute truth we could hope to muster‚ and even that one has plenty of detractors. Maybe we’ve pulled back too far. Zoom in ever so slightly. Picture the universe before the Big Bang. Imagine a vast swath of nothing stretching on and on. It’s not empty space‚ it’s the absence of space. It’s the endless void. Within the void is a tiny unit of something‚ and for unknown reasons this little singularity erupted into what we now know as the ever expending universe. Philosophers and scholars have been asking what caused this eruption since sentience allowed the very question to form‚ but a solution continues to elude. As an agnostic‚ I’m perfectly fine without answers to the grand what. However‚ I’m still curious about this expanding universe in a smaller sense. The grand what has no hold on me‚ and neither does the grand why‚ but I’ll admit a few of the details have always drawn my attention. Here’s where I’ve arrived. There was once nothing and now there’s something. That something is always growing at an incredible rate‚ and while many scientists believe this growth will slow and eventually come to an end—or even reverse at some point—we’ve still got unfathomable eons of change ahead of us. But it’s not just the universe that’s expanding‚ it’s every little part of that universe. Lifeforms evolve to spread themselves far and wide through replication and procreation. Sometimes‚ the communal growth of a species is even more important than an individual’s own personal survival. Plants will crawl their roots below the surface and cast their seeds through the air. Mold will creep across any surface it can. Animals will pound away at each other in an effort to make more little animals‚ who will one day grow up to repeat this process in turn. As humans‚ we often maintain these primal motivations to survive and procreate‚ but disseminating ourselves across reality is not so cut and dry. For instance‚ many people can’t have or don’t want children‚ which is a perfectly valid way of moving through life. Sex is not just about creating offspring‚ it’s more often an act of self-expression‚ personal connection‚ and joy. In other words‚ creation is so much more than biological reproduction. The artistic options that now rest at our fingertips are endless‚ and these deserve the same reverence as any deep-rooted primeval drive. We can write a song and belt it out. We can paint a landscape and hang it on the wall. We can choreograph a dance‚ then hold a show for our friends. Humans are still pushing back against that endless cosmic nothing‚ but we’re doing it in new‚ exciting ways. Every moment of our existence we are creating‚ often without even knowing it. You can create a walk down the block. You can create a thought. You can create a breath. Regardless of what we build to fill the endless cosmic void‚ I’ve found that the raw materials for this process are dependent on community—art usually has a creator and an audience. This is true whether that connection is between the two sides of your own brain or a message to some massive international fanbase. I also think the health of a community (artistic or otherwise) is tied to joy‚ gratitude and love. Love. We’ve finally arrived at this simple‚ refined ingredient. Across every timeline—every one of the infinite parallel existence layers stacked atop each other like some delicious‚ never-ending pancake—I believe there is one universal truth. For any reality to survive in the vast empty abyss it must exhibit a drive for creation. Therefore‚ a drive for community. Therefore‚ a drive for love. Once I realized this was the fuel behind everything‚ I used that knowledge to my advantage. How do I get over writers block? Turn to love. Harness that. How can I tell this story in the most effective way possible. Turn to love. Harness that. How can I find an appropriate balance between my writing time and my personal life. Turn to love. Harness that. It might seem abstract on the surface‚ and maybe it is. This is art after all‚ so I’m not afraid to let the abstract creep in when my oppressive‚ logical brain isn’t looking. I’ve been working to integrate these two forces my entire life. Some hear my creative philosophy and assume that working from a place of love means everything you make has to be bright‚ positive and cheery‚ but as someone about to publish a very dark horror novel‚ and can assure you this is not the case. Horror is just as much about creation as any other genre. In fact‚ horror leads us through worlds of destruction as a way of celebrating creation. We cheer when our hero survives‚ and if they don’t make it out alive then we cheer because it’s only a book and we‚ the readers‚ are still here. Love was around well before we arrived and it will remain long after we’re gone‚ because the very existence of something in a sea of nothing is an act of love. Reality is the biggest piece of performance art there is. It’s a lot to wrap one’s head around‚ and I’ll be the first to admit my stance on creativity is likely full of holes and inconsistencies. We’re all out here struggling to pull together a coherent picture of existence‚ and my take is one hell of a big swing. But that’s alright with me‚ because despite all this abstraction and all these unanswerable questions there is one thing I’m certain of—a raw‚ primal truth I just can’t seem to shake. Creation is real‚ so love is real. Originally published July 2023 Chuck Tingle is a mysterious force of energy behind sunglasses and a pink mask. He is also an anonymous author of romance‚ horror‚ and fantasy. Chuck was born in Home of Truth‚ Utah‚ and now splits time between Billings‚ Montana and Los Angeles‚ California.

Like Dungeons and Raids‚ Destiny 2’s Starcrossed Exotic mission features secret chests. These chests in Destiny 2 are released weekly‚ can only be opened once a week for Undying weapon rewards‚ and are difficult to find. How to find secret chests in Destiny 2 Starcrossed Much like the Destiny 2 Season of the Wish’s Familiar Feline Triumph featuring hidden Starcats‚ the secret chests in the Starcrossed Exotic mission are tied to Triumphs and release weekly. Though you can open them as many times as you want‚ only the first open per week grants you one red border Undying weapon. In total‚ there will be four secret chests to find in Destiny 2 Starcrossed. Currently‚ there is only one‚ but when more chests are added to the Exotic mission‚ I’ll update this article.

World of Warcraft recently released its roadmap for 2024 for all its iterations of WoW‚ and Classic players were overjoyed with the news of what is to come. One of these announcements was the new ‘Self Found’ mode coming to Classic Hardcore‚ and we will run over what it means. WoW Classic Hardcore: What is the new ‘Self Found’ mode? World of Warcraft Classic will be getting an ample amount of content in 2024‚ and while Season of Discovery will be getting a ton of love‚ Hardcore Classic is also getting some additions. This comes in the form of the noted ‘Self Found’ mode‚ which Blizzard has noted will be “a new way to challenge players and add a little more hardcore into your Hardcore.” From our general assumption‚ we will say that the new ‘Self Found’ mode in Classic Hardcore will be a new iteration of Hardcore WoW‚ where players won’t have the option to party up with other player...

Going into Avatar Frontiers of Pandora‚ I’d only seen the first Avatar film‚ and that was back when it first came out. I wasn’t expecting some of the surprises that Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment would give us with Avatar Frontiers of Pandora‚ as my review will explain. And yet there were plenty of issues I had with this open-world Avatar RPG. While it’s gorgeous and has some innovative features‚ the few downfalls and frustrations I had with it started to pull me away from the overall experience. Screenshot: PC Invasion The Na’vi experience The primary selling point of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is being able to fully immerse yourself in James Cameron’s intricately detailed world. While this does lack some RPG features like dialogue choices and in-depth character customization‚ your character’s voice and personality weaving through the story really help immerse me in what it could be like to be a true Na̵...
