Yes, I said “thought” - literally that meme (origin) showed me how much better cats are vs eg dogs in regards to salt (and don’t forget some spices are still toxic to cats, and we like to spice our wieners).
Some nuance debate still surrounds sodium content tho, cats can still get salt poisoning & high sodium in the blood affects all other organs (cells) too. Being able to survive vs good for them. Iirc they also require a bit less salt compared to humans.
(Also being accustomed to low sodium diet & then consuming large amount of salt in a short time period causes headaches & vomiting in humans too - the same shock can happen in a cat, especially not a very young one.)
