  • i will never understand the idea that human age limits would apply to a completely different species, if they’re fully mature and capable of consent at 9 years old then that’s their age limit, we don’t get to impose that on their species.

    Should we stop birds from getting it on with each other because they mature within a year or two? I think they might take offense to that, and i don’t want to face an angry goose.




  • i’m a firm proponent of making animal therapy a standard thing available to everyone, imagine how much better everyone would feel if you could go cuddle kitties anytime you feel a bit down!

    I’m blessed enough to live in an area where there are a bunch of cuddly cats walking around the streets and any time i’m not travelling on foot or bike i’m a bit sad because it means i won’t meet a cat :(


  • no but that’s what i mean, well treated cats don’t just randomly knock things off tables and shelves, they do that when they’re bored out of their minds and have to do ANYTHING to entertain themselves.

    And if the cats get enough entertainment and exercise in other ways, they’re probably not going to have a desire to play-fight with your hands either (especially if you don’t encourage it). none of the grown up cats i’ve met have done so, they just merrily present the belly for petting and literally nothing i do to their bellies makes them react with anything but gratuitous purring…

    Seriously, a well taken care of cat is just a fluffy ball of love and purrs and the most annoying aspect of them is that they want to headbutt you constantly meow loudly to beg for scritches and treats.


  • At this point i just conclude that a truly terrifying amount of people are lowkey mistreating their pets and operate under the assumption that a pretty severely unhappy pet is actually normal.

    Like all the “funny” posts about how cats are so unfriendly and whatnot, bitch what the fuck are you doing to your cat to make it behave like that? all the cats i’ve ever interacted with have at worst been indifferent, and most of the time they’ll merrily make their way over for scritches and love.

    A violent cat isn’t normal and it’s not funny, it means it’s not happy for crying out loud! i would wager that the most common problem is that they’re bored out of their skulls and are in dire need of playtime and ideally having a second cat in the household so they can entertain each other.



  • i would say that in a less game-y setting the mimics would just tend to go for objects because mimicking living moving things makes it blitheringly obvious that they’re mimics, i mean just look at how much we actual humans struggle to animate realistic humans without people finding them horrifying.

    But like, it would be totally fair game to be fooled by a human-shape mimic if it’s in a dark room or something, though probably you’d still notice it’s a bit weird when you get close (but that may be too late)
