Onions, one more time...

I accidentally let LB (that's Lucy Bunny... she's a nym shifter) and
Jupiter have my rib scraps the other night. Afterward I remembered I
had cooked these ribs with a small onion in the skillet.

From what I've read, onions cause anemia? Is this reversible? It
effects their red blood cells?

I won't do that no more.

Cats don't need your feminine-style concern. They've been taking car
of themselves for thousands of years. Millions, in fact. They
routinely dine from the scraps taken from dumpster and garbage cans,
yet here you come... posting your immature left-wing lunacy. You're a
nut. Leave the ****ing cat alone to eat what she wants. You're the one
with the problem here. Feminized twerp.

Yes, onions can be harmful to cats, but I wouldn't worry about a single
event such as you described. I think the problem occurs when they are
permitted to ingest onions over a period of time. I try to avoid *all* use
of onions around my cats, but I also don't get concerned if they
accidentally get a little of my leftovers that were cooked with onions.

No, Barry, what he's saying is that he's a major Usenet troll and his
behavior on this group is apparently not going to be any different from his
behavior on other groups. It would be best if everyone would just ignore
him. DNFTT (Do not feed the troll).

This is a new one to me..
I have never heard of this one before & I am now starting to worry
about it because Lilly is always begging for hoomins left overs...!!!

We feed her on a regular diet of Iams which is left down all the time
for grazing purposes, & half a can of cat food a day...
But she *knows* when there is a roast in the oven, & *Demands* her
share of the kill after our meal. Inevitably there is normally an
onion floating around in the pan, whether it be up the parsons nose in
a chicken, or surrounding the lamb, pork or beef, which we eat quite
regularly......

Can anyone explain why it is toxic to them & whether I should stop
allowing her to have any?
Thanks,
S;o)

Here are a few links that describe toxicity in cats from onions. I don't
think an occasional treat of leftovers cooked with onions would hurt, but I
would not make it a regular practice -- and I would certainly take care to
remove any visible pieces of onion.

Barry I just had to remind my elderly mother last night. She knows to check
the label to make sure it has nothing to do with onions. She put down a
open empty can for the cats of parmesan potatoes lick; it had onion powder
in the ingredients. I looked at her and said did you check the label, She
said she forgot to. I told her you got to pay attention you might be an old
fart like me but you mind is still sharp. She went out to the pantry and
put red stickers on everything that has onions in it. I told her don't worry
the cats don't need human food anyways and they don't need the cans to lick.
But it is hard to change a stubborn woman that is set in her ways. I may
need the stun gun to prove my point or it is time for a nursing home :^)

Wow..!!
I knew about all of the other one's , but not the onion one though...
Looks like poor old Lilly will have to stick to the occasional Sunday
roast for now on then...

Boy, she is going to be fed up with me... but then again, it is all my
fault for allowing her to have her share of the kill regarding left
overs.
I can see a few hissy flicks of that brown tail coming & me being sent
to Coventry too.

we will not be amused with our slave!!!!
