The quality of writing and concepts is really uneven, so sometimes you get one that hits just right and click through to the next and it reads like some thirteen-year-old's fanfic. I vaguely recall one about a spaceship that cloned catgirls, full of "pinku"-type antilocalizations, which took me out of the whole SCP project so much that I haven't been back.

The best SCPs are the ones that work as short-form X-Files episodes basically. Brief, sweet, and using the DATA EXPUNGEDs strategically to let your brain fill in the gaps. This one will always be one of my favorites (warning: its got some bug-related body horror). The wiki's problem at this point is that a lot of the low and medium hanging fruit in terms of sci-fi horror is tapped out, so the concepts are having to get increasingly esoteric. I don't know what a pattern screamer is and I refuse to learn.

This one will always be one of my favorites (warning: its got some bug-related body horror). To me, the main issue is that SCP arose along-side creepypastas and it wasn't enough to have a cool story, now it has to be a loving metaverse with everything relating back to one another and recurring characters and concepts you have to dig down deep to figure out. It's fun to read a three page short story about a self refilling whiskey glass that kills you, not so much to have to spend thirty hours learning Dr. Clef's deepest pychosexual secrets to know why the purple rabbits that smell like coal tar are actually terrifying.

SCP was great when storytellers used its quirks as story aids and fell apart when other people (usually kids) saw those same quirks as a checklist. The whole [redacted] thing was a much better way to do HP Lovecraft's "it was so terrifying that I can't describe it so you should do the work for me" because it was totally consistent logically and in-universe. Same with the descriptions of how each entry needed to be contained, the best ones were short and sweet paragraphs of environmental storytelling rather than spooky pablum about non-euclidian geometry. But kids are kids, and very quickly you had people making anime characters and going around in circles one-upping each other. You'd get walls of text about how the previous most-powerful special boy had to be fenced in with unobtanium, but my new special boy needs unobtanium2 because he is exponentially stronger and more dangerous. It got really bad really fast. It's still fun to find lists of best SCP entries and read the first four or five, just don't go too far beyond that.

The only SCP thing I paid much attention to was When Day Breaks, where sunlight itself becomes horribly mutagenic to all organic life and even night isn't safe, because of the Moon. It was pretty effectively scary!...and then when I looked into reading anything else SCP it was hot garbage.

It kinda blew my mind when I learned that you could trim a cat's claws. People sure could avoid the whole declawing thing if they just took the time to trim their cat's claws if they are going to keep them inside and don't want stuff getting clawed up.

I trim my cats’ nails every two weeks and it feels good to know I’m taking care of the animal that I and my ancestors have forced into a bastardized way of life that is neither human nor animal, doomed to an interdependent relationship with my species until the day my species goes extinct - taking their species with it. That was a strong gummy, goddamn I’m going to bed goodnight thread, this posts sucks

If I don't keep my one cat's claws trimmed he manages to cut himself with them when scratching his head. Or maybe it's in play fights with his brother, I'm not sure. Anyway, he purrs when I trim them, so I don't think he minds that much.

Cats would be fine on their own after humans go extinct. Despite what they tell us, they don't actually have to eat every two hours.

My mom's late cat was a Bombay and powerful as an ox. She'd turn into a hissing, spitting rage machine and both the groomer and the vet needed to employ a Hannibal Lecter style mask with her.

If you don't trim a cat's claws, since they grow in a curve, they can become ingrown and very uncomfortable and then you gotta take them to the vet to do it and then their little beans are bleeding and you gotta put cream on the beans but then the cat will try to clean the cream off the beans but it will make them sick to eat it so you gotta stop them. So just trim the claws instead.

House cats are basically unchanged from their wild versions and will happily live in almost every environment on Earth. Since we haven't altered them like we have dogs, they'd just merge back into the wild small cat populations because they can interbreed.

There are also a handful of wild cat species that are even smaller than domestic cats that do really well for themselves. The biggest existential risk to them is stuff like habitat destruction and other consequences of human civilization. Without us around they'd do even better. Cats are exceptional hunters and don't really give a poo poo about anything

I distinctly remember seeing this picture when I was aged six (well, minus meme text obvs.) and being annoyed at how terrible it was. It was in a book so someone got paid to draw the most goofy shiny un-dynamic dinosaurs ever.
