Man, if someone told me they were going to get rid of my cat, I'd never see them again. And if they actually tried, no one else would, either

No joke. Cats are a civilized companion for a civilized man.

What I don’t understand is why a lady would prefer to get finger blasted by someone who just picked up dog poop nary an hour ago with that same hand. Cats rule, dogs drool.

Edit: apparently I needed an /s here to make it clear that my word choice is meant to be flip. The dog mafia can stand down.

I mean I agree in principle, but I did once had a cat who drooled a lot!

My cats both had severe untreated syphilis when they were kittens which fucked up their sinuses. One of them just has a leaky eye but the other has two fucked up inner eyelids, two leaky eyes, and a VERY leaky nose. She will have sneezing fits randomly and it's like D-Day. We take cover or quickly scoot her to the hardwood floor to limit what she covers in snot lmao. Love them both to death though

How does a kitten get syph... you know what, don't answer that

It's actually very common for cats! It's spread by saliva mainly, from cats biting or scratching each other so my cats are strictly indoors. Though I'm pretty sure mine got it from their mom. They were rescues, brought in to my roommates clinic where she works as a vet technician.

Thank you for understanding that I was joking, lol. Yeah, I’ve lived with some drooly boys too—some of the sweetest cats I’ve known.

Please throw your phone and computer off of the nearest roof and never log onto the Internet ever again.
