    Wild, I didn’t know there was a different gallon measurement (There’s a few apparently).

    mostly unrelated, but after poking around on Wikipedia, I’ve also learned that there’s two different versions of fluid ounces (Edit: that are used actively in the US, forgot to add that), and both are used on food labels simultaneously, but relating to different things.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce#Definitions_and_equivalences

    US food labeling fluid ounce

    For serving sizes on nutrition labels in the US, regulation 21 CFR §101.9(b) requires the use of “common household measures”, and 21 CFR §101.9(b)(5)(viii) defines a “common household” fluid ounce as exactly 30 milliliters. This applies to the serving size but not the package size, package sizes use the US customary fluid ounce.

    Hey, you’re welcome! I just thought it would be a logistical nightmare to get past the cats without disturbing them in your picture, and my brain ran with the idea.

    On a related note: Check out the book “I Could Pee on This, and Other Poems by Cats”. It’s a little book of poems from the perspective of cats.


  • If ye wish to climb the stairs,

    Then first endure our three glares.

    For moving, we aren’t in the mood,

    Though we may change our tune for food.

    And a warning should our bowls lay empty,

    Misfortune falls swift and plenty.

    So please, appease us kitties three,

    Lest ye wake in a bed of pee.
