    use it as bait for fishing while waiting for the rescue that will take way too long… and hope I float near the oil spill because the news coverage would make being spotte for a rescue pretty likely… though it would make the fishing suck.

    Why the hell do I have cat food? I don’t have a stinking cat! I’m gonna use the can to kill a shark to eat…sushi…yum!

  • Jayunderscorezero said:

    How on Earth would you even open the cat food without a can opener?

  • CleaningBird said:

    Dude, most cat food tins have pull-tabs on them now – easy to open, and then you’ve got a handy (extremely sharp) lid for filleting the fish you catch!

  • TWM71 said:

    Good luck opening the can without a can opener, but *definitely* use it for bait – it’d dry you up in a heartbeat. MAYBE you could use the can as a reflective surface to signal a passing vessel or aircraft…

    As the saying goes, some cat food in the hand is better than a fish to the face.

  • Abby said:

    Studies (don’t ask for a link because I can’t remember) show cat and dog food are the best thing you could have when deserted. They are nutrient rich!

  • Rachel said:

    I’m not gonna lie, I’m totally with Reid on this one.

  • Chris Ramsay said:

    Can I eat the cat?

  • EhSonnyWhatTheHey said:

    I would name it Wilson and have long, meaningful discussions with it until a storm washed it overboard, then I would cry and cry.

  • imitate said:

    I would surely die as A. I can’t even imagine eating cat food. The thought makes me throw up in my mouth a little, and B. I don’t eat fish, either. The thought makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

  • Joe Bauer said:

    Catfishing!

  • John said:

    Or alternately you could use the lid to kill yourself! The options are limitless.

  • Lee said:

    Who in the world puts cat food into a life raft? Seriously, guys. Next time, get a woman to pack the emergency stuff and not some half-drunk dude.

  • Jim said:

    I would use the cat food as bait for catching cats, which I would then use as bait for catching whatever eats cats. Cows? Probably cows. Which I would then eat. I’d still be lost at sea, but full of cow.

    My parents would have been proud.

  • Teresa said:

    If you want to catch a fish, you have to do more than just toss cat food in the water. Where’s the pole? The hook? The line?

  • Psychopompous said:

    Yeah, but what self-respecting fish is going to be tempted by cat food?

  • jump said:

    if you catch a fish, it will be too salty to eat and will most likely dehydrate you if not worse. you’re teaching bad survival skills. #takingthiswaytooseriously

  • Ty said:

    If you are on a raft, I think it’s safe to assume that there is no way to build a fire without endangering your own life. Therefore, the choice is between raw fish, cat food, and not eating. I’ll take the cat food.

  • Pat said:

    What sort of catfood? Chicken? Was it ethically raised? Low salt? Decisions, decisions…

  • kelly said:

    Why did a Prawn from District 9 pack the emergency rations?

  • Eamon said:

    I guess if you’re in the right area, that’s the perfect bait for catfish.
