i am legit scared of using onions because they're so poisonous for cats
I've had cats and also cooked with alliums for years and years and never had any problems. If you're concerned, make sure to clean up as you cook, toss your scraps promptly, and not let them up onto the counter until after you're done cleaning it.
I do. We had one instance of onion poisoning and it was about 3000$ to save her and the entire time the vets were telling us there's no way she should still be alive.

My dog knows that if we're chopping up an apple or something he can come over and get a piece, but that morphed into him coming over and demanding a piece of anything getting chopped up on the cutting board. Like I'm sorry you're mad dude, but you don't want to munch on a chunk of onion or sliced garlic.
Hank the Cow Dog's ability to find literally any and all possible trash is impeccable.
Like he will just find some random thing you didn't know about it tucked away in the corner of the abode and bring it to you like a cat with a dead bird and it makes me so irritated that I can't possibly clean to his standards
Also I think he knows my partner hates the sound of smacking and so anytime he finds anything will smack his lips just constantly and loudly to fuck with them

A former girlfriend haaaaated the sound of the cat grooming herself and would close doors or change locations to avoid it. Naturally the cat considered this a game.
I agree, my wording was because I know MP has a lot of cats and it might not be fully within his control.
Boomer has to be RIGHT UP IN THE SHIT whenever we cook anything, he literally hovers over all the cutting and opening and what not looking Extremely Concerned.
Like 10 years ago we got my dad a set of Cutco knives for Christmas (yes, I know now, I didn't know that they were a scam/MLM/whatever then)
He cut himself on one as he took it out of the cardboard sheath, like literally 0.5 seconds after taking it out of the box, it was incredible
I think the Cutco knives are actually a pretty good product. It's just a shitty place to "work".
Cutco knives are absolute garbage for the price compared to actual good knives that cost similar.
I know this because I have a Cutco knife given to me by my dad because it was sitting in the kitchen drawer never being used. Its only real use is chopping root vegetables, everything else I'll reach for my ceramic paring knife.
Regarding cats and dogs, dosage is still going to be a thing for allium with them, so bits of scrap while not good aren’t going to be health threatening in a major way if they manage to sneak or steal a bit of them before you can properly clean up from prep.
My understanding is your cat or dog (especially for larger dogs) it’s gonna take like, really chowing down on the things, so long as you’re careful and making sure to clean up and make sure they can’t get to what you’re working with, they should be fairly safe from harm
You still don’t want them getting any of it, but its a manageable situation assuming you don[t have an absolute fiend pet who devours whatever you’re working on

The dumb vacuum cleaner got into a bag of chocolate covered pretzels the one time we left him alone not in his crate while we were gone 30 minutes (he threw an absolute rager, we were pissed and he hasn't been allowed out of his crate while we're not home since)
Turned out totally fine. Cause it was milk chocolate and lethality is based on dosage relative to weight
Still don't want him vaccuming up the stupid veggie scraps though
Funniest cut that ever happened was my roommate and best friend in college with an exacto knife
He was trying to take the safety cap off, and cut so deep he lost feeling in his thumb for a couple of years
Not funny, but exacto knives can be scary.
When I was a kid, my dad let me use one to cut out a giant radiolarian I drew on cardboard. I didn't have my hand in the wrong position, but it got snagged and I pushed wrongly (as kids might do). Jumped out and went straight into my wrist.
I hit the artery but just barely, so I had a pulse further up, so they thought I hadn't. So stitched up my thumb tendon, put on the cast, 3 months later pull it off and MASSIVE hematoma with completely dead skin on top of it. Had to have surgery to remove it and then take part an artery in my elbow and put it in my wrist.

Pro-tip I learned. The reason you cry when cutting onions is because the vapors released attract to liquids, which your eyes have. If you have douse a paper towel or just a kitchen towel with water and set it on your cutting board (or whatever) near the onion then that can substantially lessen the amount an onion will affect you.
A trick passed from my El Pasoan friend's grandmother that cooked a lot of onions in her life.
I like cutting onions in the summer time because I can just step outside to the table in the backyard and let the breeze deal with the vapors.

I straight up forgot that onions do the crying thing because my contacts prevent it from happening somehow. Then one day I was wearing glasses instead of contacts while cooking and gassed myself with an onion and was like "...oooohhhhhh right"

Hey so interesting story, my brother had a pit bull who was very sweet and extremely dumb, who would rather anything, including drywall bits from our walls amount other things.
Well, one year the mosquitos were really bad in our area, so the city set out mosquito poison pellets, and since my mom's house was near a pond there were a lot out in her area.
So obviously the dog got out and ran around eating the mosquito poison pellets, as many as she could get. She never had any effects from it, but that was a scary day

I've also read not cutting off of the core/center/whatever its called of the onion until the end helps?

One time my dog Rex ate eight incredibly spicy chorizo tacos.
I had just made dinner for my wife and myself and plated up our tacos, so she had a plate with four tacos ready to eat that she took to the dining table while I finished putting mine together. She put them on the dining table and then realized she had left the tv on in the other room so she walked over to turn it off.
When she got back in the dining room her four tacos were gone. Plate was exactly where she left it, but all four tacos had been abducted. Then she saw Rex still frantically chewing in the corner and yelled at me to tell me what had happened.
“But you said he had eight tacos?”
I did.
In an act of what I can only describe in hindsight as incredible hubris, I walked over to see the plate that was picked clean and doubled over laughing. Like, straight up had to compose myself and catch my breath. “Okay okay, it’s fine, I’ll split mine with you, and we have some extra filling. It’s okay.”
And as you probably guessed when I got back to the kitchen I found my plate which once contained, but no longer, my four tacos. And Rex in the corner frantically chewing and swallowing and looking like he’s trying to diffuse a bomb.
So that’s the day that our dog had eight glorious homemade spicy chorizo tacos while my wife and I ate Taco Bell.
minor incident on
She said, "You're pretty good with words, but words won't save your life."
And they didn't.
So he died.
My uncle has two, maybe three now, dogs of a particular breed called Rhodesian Ridgebacks. They are colossal dogs, bigger than German Shepherds with bulk to match. Anything left on the counters or stovetop at their place is not safe from those dogs, as they found out when one of them ingested an entire cooking pot worth of peanut oil.

Even when we had ten cats none of them got up on the counter for fear of The Spray Bottle
my keets look at the spray bottle and laugh
they know i'd have to lean forward to use it and ladies and gentlefolk fuck. that.
