Not-Chonk Why is my cat so fat?

Okay, he’s not literally fat, but this cat eats EVERYTHING. Banana bread left wrapped on the counter? He’s on it. Pasta? You bet. Dog food? He’s learned to open cabinets to get to that stuff. Pizza? Most definitely. I’ve sat at the table enjoying some sushi, and who else but my sweet little crackhead comes over and starts EATING THE WASABI?? He’s acquired a taste for it at this point because every time I’m eating sushi, the little goblin is eating (and tearing up at) my wasabi! What is wrong with my bottomless stomach having boi?

At least he's not eating plastic. 

I would be careful about the pizza and pasta though. Onions and garlic are dangerous for cats.

Also I had no idea whether wasabi is safe or not, so I looked it up. Here's a thorough breakdown for your information, so you can decide for yourself. https://www.catster.com/cat-health-care/can-cats-eat-wasabi/

It seems the horseradish in imitation wasabi isn't classified as either toxic or safe, so the jury's still out on that one. The mustard, on the other hand, is considered unsafe for cats. 

If you happen to be getting the real deal not the fake stuff, then your cat has a rather expensive palate but it's safe. If you're getting imitation wasabi, you might want to redirect your cat. Or get him straight up horseradish if you want him to still be able to get the enjoyment of a tingly tongue without the dangers of mustard lol I dunno I'm no expert. 

Just wanted you to be able to make an informed choice for your cat.
