Many viewers agreed that she deserved the treat – even some veterinarians and veterinary technicians who would usually be opposed
Zaley celebrated her 18th birthday last month, and many agreed that she deserved the treat — even some veterinarians and veterinary technicians who would usually be opposed.
‘As a vet assistant normally I don’t like these videos but this one’s fine let her have her Taco Bell,’ one TikTok user wrote.
‘I used to be a veterinarian and this cat deserves a potato taco,’ another added.
Taco Bell’s spicy potato taco features a flour tortilla filled with seasoned potato bites, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and chipotle sauce.
Some people pointed out that certain spices such as garlic and onion powder are toxic to cats, which are also supposed to avoid carbohydrates and cheese.
However, @rignpm04 explained in the comments that she only gets her tacos filled with lettuce and potatoes — and ‘only on special occasions.’
‘Usually I’d be like “carbs are not good for cats” but she’s ancient,’ one person noted. ‘She lived that long she can eat what she wants at that age.’
