Cats can,個人撮影 ポルノ映画 famously, have little a salami. But can cats reallyhave little a salami?
The "cats can have little a salami" meme is the best kind of meme: a single sentence applied to every possible post like a gorgeous, nonsensical chorus. (See: "They did surgery on a grape.")
The phrase comes from a typo in a blog post called "Can My Cat Eat Salami," which was published in 2017 by San Diego-based salami and sausage company The Meatmen. (The business is no longer in operation.) Instead of writing "Cats can have a little salami," as we're sure was the intent, this is what the author went with:

Once the typo was discovered, it circulated on Tumblr, then made its way, steadily, to Twitter. Now here we are, spouting it off at will like a quote from Mean Girls. How time flies.

Cat owners may actually want to know, though, whether cats can have little a salami. The original post was probably written in good faith, but when it comes to cats and salami — two precious things — it's always good to fact check.
Luckily, a very small amount of salami is probably fine for your cat, though you definitely shouldn't make it a staple of their diet. "A little probably won’t hurt them but I wouldn't make it the principal dietary staple," said Dr. John Stramaglia, a veterinarian at Broad River Animal Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut. "And [I] would avoid spicy."
So a little slice on holidays? Great! A bowl of salami chunks? Definitely not. See, it's what you assumed anyway.
One important warning: Be sure not to misquote the original meme as multiple well-meaning users have done in the past few days. It's not "cats can have a little salami." It is "cats can have little a salami." Enormous difference. Really cannot be overstated. Thank you.
