What happens if a dog eats cured/salty meat?
Salty meat can cause thirst, drinking, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration. Dogs metabolize salt poorly, and curing uses lots of salt, which irritates the gut.

What happens if a cat doesn’t drink water for 7 days?
A cat not drinking for 7 days is likely fatal. Water mediates countless biochemical reactions, and a lack of it causes electrolyte imbalance affecting nerve and muscle function, including the heart. Prolonged no water leads to severe dehydration, metabolic disorder, kidney damage, and organ failure, ending in death. Most cats can die after 3 days without food or water; 7 days without water means even lower survival. Some moisture from food may lessen severity, but long-term low intake harms kidneys and raises urinary-disease risk.

A stray tortoiseshell mother cat—unknown when she got pregnant, belly has been huge for at least four months but no signs of labor. What should I do?
A cat's pregnancy is only about 2 months (65-69 days for purebreds). Four months without delivery is abnormal and may indicate ascites (FIP, cardiac, or liver), digestive issues (constipation or blockage), obesity, an abdominal tumor (common in senior cats), or hypoalbuminemia. See a vet to determine the cause.
