charming mother fuck

then stab him in the nuts!

uncomfortable

uncomfortable left the building about 10 years back lol.

I’ve never seen a creature so exquisitely relaxed

gaze on my belly…

I SAID GAZE DO NOT TOUCH

Your cat has a chairdog.

something else to consider is the breeders chasing certain characteristics - in this case, the very wrinkly skin, akin to the traits seen in Shar-pei and other wrinkly dogs. It rarely results in an animal that’s overall healthy and often introduces new issues.

I have an adopted hound who’s ears - I’m convinced - could never exist in a viable dog without intense supervision and cleaning, we’ve tried alternative diets, flushes, allergy meds, and at the end of the day… loads of ear flap mean a big ear canal and not enough discharge to keep them clean. Left to her own devices she’ll scratch them up in a few days. I love the dog, but damn… breeding for these characteristics didn’t do her any favors.

My adopted 'mostly’Staffy, conversely, is a paragon of excellent diverse genetics, and physically issue free. And thick headed enough that she can stagger the 20lb heavier hound with a well timed head butt.

We’re lucky to have animals in our lives, I just hate to see so many examples of abusing our privilege.

hairless ape

man I wish I could save money on shampoo and barbers but ‘hairless ape’ is only hairless by comparison. think they meant completely hairless, like alopecia? or is it just a figure of speech?

hmmmm… I’ll let you figure it out on your own time.

Are we inbred?

are your mom & dad siblings or cousins?

why do I have to be the one who does your fuckin’ research pugsly? jfc grow up.

“I’m asking for data, research, not emotion” - get fucked.

they’re already here because breeders create a demand for them; I wouldn’t kick this cat out of the shelter, but ffs, there need to be consequences for this kind of shit somewhere or we’re going to see more animals suffering for their entire lives because someone thought ‘it looks cute’

I wouldn’t blame anyone who thought this happened by accident.

ok. you do you. hairlessness is pretty rare in the animal kingdom - hair confers so many advantages, from reducing uv exposure to insulation and style baby, er, camouflage. the people who bred these cats to be this way took generations of selective breeding, and probably in-breeding, to get this specific look.

I think treating animals this way is fucking sick, and cruel. Like I said - you do you.

do you really think cats like this happen by accident? hairless cats have a mutation that prevents them from growing a coat. you have to admit it’s a special kind of sick mind that breeds hairless cats in canada lol (where these breeds were started). they’re also more likely to have skin cancer issues and early life respiratory issues.

I look at it like pugs and frenchies - victims of animal abuse by breeders who don’t care about the actual quality of life the animal has, only about profiting on their sale.

animal abuse by proxy of over breeding.

I’m going to assume you’re not irish and don’t understand shit about this because fuck’s sake you’re ignorant.

I’m not going to argue further with this aggressive babble.

you have no argument, so that makes perfect sense. finally one aspect of logic you haven’t disregarded.

We had issues with Northern Ireland very recently and I do not want any of that to come back any time soon.

Northern Ireland had issues with your colonialist bullshit. Fuck off with it.

Brexit didn’t do shit

Oh really? Creating the ONLY LAND BORDER BETWEEN THE UK AND EU didn’t do shit?

Are you really that dense?

Here’s an entire wikipedia article detailing all the problems with the brexit and Irish Independence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit_and_the_Irish_border Your premise is vapid. Your arguments are specious and weak.

Have a great day.

What does it achieve to unify now?

IT SURE FIXES THE BREXIT CRISIS I POINTED OUT IN MY POST YOU NUMPTY

you know, the one that posted a fucking border checkpoint and restarted talk of the troubles? are you dense or did you just arrive to the situation, or are you completely disconnected from the situation you have no idea what the fuck is happening and just shitposting?

fuck off

A sizeable portion of the population actively opposes it

largely dependent on the British government

yeah when you live as a colony for some shitty island this can happen!

They chose a century ago to remain in the UK and despite

YES, AND THE UK JOINED THE EU THEN LEFT. SHIT HAPPENS. GET OVER YOURSELF. What kind of abusive relationship do you propose that keeps them there even if they want to leave?

semitrucks

trains too. they’re trying to improve the eagle pass area (much in the news, thanks to dipshit abbott) https://www.railwayage.com/regulatory/new-u-s-mexico-trade-corridor-eyed/

Good, much better than buying shit directly from China either way - shorter supply loop, hybrid Mexican/Chinese expertise & quality control, this is why we want international relations really.

Why can’t the religious zealots put aside their bullshit for just a moment? Or does the king just deserve a chunk of Ireland for eternity?

when does it end if not now?

I had a very similar cat back in 1998, his name was spud, and he had serious anger issues. we had to put prozac gel in his little angry ears.

hey with SA it doesn’t have to be religious - afaik nothing about Khashoggi’s murder was related to religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khashoggi
