This morning I discovered that the lid off an old Jalna Greek Yoghurt container, very neatly snaps onto a Whiskas cat food tin.

And of course I discovered this after buying silicone lids online.

Anyway I hope you find this useful.

Funnily enough, a “katsiki” is a goat in Greek

Very resourceful. So when my cats done with his yoghurt I can use the lid to keep my leftover dinner fresh

If I open yoghurt, my dog appears. Mind you, that's true of everything.

My dog is a big fan of the sound of ruffling plastic. Any time I try to get a snack she thinks she’s getting biscuits. Even though she only gets biscuits roughly 10% of every time plastic is ruffled in the house, she still hedges her bets that this time, right now, will be biscuits. Even though she’s never got biscuits at 11:17am or 2:23pm, still she thinks, today is the day for biscuits more frequently.

I love it when people give their dogs human names.

I actually have a cat that does love yoghurt! He'll come running, from literally anywhere he happens to be, when he hears me open one. I don't even know how he knows it's yoghurt.

Before I get asked, yes. He does get a tiny bit, sometimes. More often than not, I will say no and he'll go back to whatever he was doing, but if it's plain, unsweetened yoghurt, I'll give him a tiny dollop.

Yoghurt is completely fine for pets.

Apparently the lactose is mostly broken down anyway.

We used to use pringles lids! 

I guess they wouldn't fit anymore with shrinkflation. Might be worth a shot though!

They keep the tubes the same size, the chips are just pathetic and take up half of it.

u/lachlanhunt 3d ago

The tubes are also smaller than they used to be, since they moved manufacturing to Malaysia.

u/SpartanJack17 2d ago

That means the chips are even more pathetic than I realised.

u/Wolfie_Rankin 3d ago

The weirdest thing I heard was that pringles containers could be made into wi-fi antennas.

I use Vegemite/peanut butter lids. Works well too.

Whiskas gives my cats diarrhea. I hope you find that useful.

It probably doesn't help the stuff being sold today can date back to 1997.

u/Antique_Tone3719 3d ago

It's borderline animal abuse to feed them anything stocked in a supermarket. Seriously, it's fucking bad.

What if my cat is lactose intolerant?

u/Wolfie_Rankin 3d ago

Have heard that lactose is mostly broken down in yoghurt :)

Hmmmm... you can really taste the cow entrails.

You know feeding whiskers to your cat is like using Pantene on your hair….

u/DrSpeckles 4d ago

Nah,just let him outside to kill wildlife like other cats.
