is pate overrated, or cat food under appreciated?

Presumably elderly couple accompanied their bread and pâté treat with a fine white wine served straight from the toilet bowl before relieving themselves in next door's flower bed :shrug:

My step gran did stuff like this, oh how we laughed at her sometimes thinking she was dotty....

In fact they were the early signs of dementia...

Indeed. It's easy to forget how effortlessly we can slip into inadvertent cruelty. I've done it more than once, myself. :nono:

True, I believe you can still laugh at things, but be sometimes think about things a little more, and ask why did they do that, bad eye sight, amnesia, dementia etc etc....

Still can be funny, laugh or cry conundrum I guess..

Does inadvertent cruelty count as cruelty tho? I'd suggest not. Cruelty is a bit more calculated shirley?

Yes. I suppose I meant causing offense by avoidable thoughtlessness. I remember once a student of mine turned up for work wearing all black (this was early 90s) and I quipped 'either you've run out of coloured clothes or you hamster has died'.

Her reply was 'Actually it was my grandmother'.

:facepalm:

You were lucky they didn't kick off about "coloured clothes" - the correct terminology is 'Afro-Caribbean' clothes.

You'll be disappointed with that avoidable thoughtlessness :facepalm:

Why would you contact a newspaper with this as a story, and why is it newsworthy.

I know we are in the era of clickbait (or should that be kittybait?) but this just shows how much standards have fallen.

They'd lived in France since 2015 and still not learnt enough French to understand food labels. :facepalm:

Oh, I can believe that. A few years back we went with friends to France to stay with her father-in-law. Our friend had an accident and I had to go to the hospital with her as her FiL (who'd lived in France for nearly 20 years) couldn't speak enough French to talk to the doctor.
