    I LOVE LOVE LOVE cats in businesses, especially the attention whoring cats that can not stop being up people's asses (sorry, cat allergy sufferers.)

    HOWEVER I think the bare minimum if you're going to do this, is to have like an 'air lock' situation, 2 sets of doors so if the cat gets out, it's still not outside. Otherwise, you're putting a lot of stress on your customers to not accidentally kill/lose your cat/s.

    @CatLord @BowsacNoodle I've heard some people suggest a bathing routine would really help with shedding on cats. While I am sure that is true, I am also sure that would cause a lot of stress for the cat and the owner as well. And bathing too much can dry the skin. So for cat owners I tend to just recommend bath on an as needed basis, ie they get really muddy or stinky or something. Unless your cat is a breed that requires regular bathing, or is already pretty calm with baths.

    furminators are an option, I call it the easy but possibly damaging option. While it does work, it also cuts and tugs the coat so it will always 1) be catching fur even when it's not loose (so it looks like it's working great) and 2) creating loose fur that will soon be shedding fur. I don't think the creators anticipated this, and it's not like it's going to kill your animal. It does work, but basically works a little too well.

    I suggest a nice brushing with a rubber curry comb. The rubber will gently catch the undercoat. You may be surprised how much fur comes off.

    Once done with that, and you want to be done brushing soon, I recommend an Equi-groom for the top layer; it's going to get all the hairs on the top coat that has been loosened by the rubber curry.

    If you have a medium/longhair, you may want to first run a greyhound comb to try to work through the thicker coat, because none of those other combs are going to help with knots, tangles, or a coat so thick they can't properly run through it.

    However, do not attempt to untangle mats. Mats are painful, and can damage the skin. They should be shaved off.

    Alright it is getting warmer out, I think it's time to go over a sensitive topic;
    Outdoor & Indoor/Outdoor cats.

    I guess I would like to preface this with saying, I am not totally and completely against outdoor cats. Shelters will often have a host of cats that don't do well inside, like cats that grew up outdoors or cats with incontinence or cats that are very easily over-stimulated, or semi-feral. Without people willing to keep them indoors/outdoors or outdoors only, they would be euthanized.

    However, I do believe that if you're getting a new cat you should test out keeping it indoors first. And I believe kittens should absolutely be kept indoors. For a multitude of reasons;

    1) Cat health. You already know cats get hit by cars, eaten by wild animals (or other pet animals), get into fights with other cats, and contract lethal and incurable diseases. But do you know at what rate? Because it probably seems like a far off issue if it didn't happen to you.

    The National Traffic Safety Administration reports roughly 5.4 million cats are struck by cars a year. 97% of those cats do not survive the incident. There are probably many more that are not reported.

    According to the Humane Society of America, out of the 22,000 cats that entered their system and had a non-live outcome, the most common reason was FeLV. Even among indoor pet cats, it is estimated 3-5% have FeLV; the rate for outdoor cats is suspected to be much higher. Cats with FeLV are not expected to live past 3y

    Estimated 4% of cats in the US are suspected to have FIV - 75% of FIV+ cats are males. FIV positive cats usually present as normal, until the autoimmune system starts causing havoc or a normal URI turns into a deadly situation. After infection, the median lifespan is 5y.

    There is no way to even guess how many cats are killed by dogs, cats, other domestics, wildlife, or people, because the vast majority of the time the body will not be found. However, if you look at lost animal statistics, one study found that 34% of cats went missing and was never found, with 2% being found dead. When entering shelters, cats have between 1.5-5% chance to be returned to owner.

    Which brings me to 2) Wildlife. Not only are cats sometimes the sole or main factor for a species being endangered, they are sometimes the sole reason a species goes entirely extinct. It is estimated that cats will kill 1.3 - 4.0 billion birds and 6.3 - 22.3 billion mammals every year in the united states. Based on one study, cats were found to bring home less than a quarter of the animals they kill, and one study found they will only eat 30% of prey killed. Also cats get a variety of wonderful butt worms from eating wildlife.

    Cats also fuck up our major flagstone species as well; They can spread their diseases to Bobcats and Catamounts and other big cats via indirect contact with saliva. Cat shit can spread toxoplasmosis into waterways and affect frogs, toads, turtles, reptiles, and even fish. Cats actually caused a toxo outbreak in some sealions in california, which kills it rapidly. Toxo can infect bears, deer, moose, bison, marine mammals, marsupials, small mammals, and even birds. They're fucking up primates in south America currently too.

    And not as common, but domestic cats also hybridize with excessively rare wild cats like the european wildcat, which used to have populations in England, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, and France. They are NOT just feral domestic cats, they evolved parallel to the domestic cat, but IIRC I think they are more or less extinct and all hybridized.

    The Humane Society of America reports that 93% of owners that let cats free roam will lose at least one cat outside. That rings true for me as I've lost both of my indoor/outdoor cats due to letting them free roam.

    I get it if you already have an indoor/outdoor or outdoor only cat. Or you get a cat that's half wild, or doesn't use the litterbox, etc. I'd prefer a cat have a home than be euthanized at the pound. But I am asking that you maybe just consider keeping your next cat indoors, maybe with supervised outdoor access

    Barilla, a German Shepherd found by a rescue center in Granada, Spain, was so emaciated and weak he couldn't even stand.
    Look at how much he changed after just 7 weeks of TLC!

    @sim @Rocket @tk @Moon I don't really dig the ADHD video shit but I think the appeal is that you're only seeing short videos, whereas here you're scrolling through all types of content to occasionally see a short video.

    Here's a fedi pro-tip, that I actually originally heard on fedi;

    Don't have an argument/debate with more than one person. No debate ever stayed on topic and civil when other people start jumping in.

    Instead, if you really want to continue the discussion, ask the users to slip into your DMs. Watch as no one participates after such a request, because all of the fun was riling up their followers to call you names and gain internet clout for dropping memes on you.

    Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

    @BowsacNoodle So i guessed bulldog too, but I was thinking like American Bulldog. Embark, the DNA company, calls English Bulldogs, just Bulldogs. Pics related. English Bulldogs are about 12-15in tall at the shoulders lol

    Idk if you meant English Bulldog, but I would have never guessed English Bulldog especially being such a high percentage.

    A shark is getting an annual exam at the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium. I believe the shark is sedated and it appears they have a mobile ultrasound a woman is holding in the background there.
