Im really really drunk off my rear end on some burbon I bought at 8am and my cat is sleeping under my armpit. Is shorthaired maine coon a breed? That's what my squeaky cat is. She has the ear tufts, paw tufts, and M on the forehead. But only 1, maybe 2 layers of fur, not the 3 my other Maine coon has but she likes rain Definitely has paw tufts though for that snow. Most loyal cat ever she always finds me when I get home from work and is under foot until i lay down.

Mods??

i think it depends on the animal?

cats are independent and they do whatever the f they want

birds can be very affectionate but it's sad if they're stuck in a cage all the time

It's okay that cat doesn't have a single black hair on her body it's not hate speech

A picture would be here but the flash on my camera doesnt work anymore. Sold it for booze money.

Your cat has a mackerel tabby coat, but maine coons are all long haired. An example of a mackerel tabby maine coon would be this lazy good for nothing idiot that lives in my house

Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
It's clearly the opposite of slavery, because in human slavery, being in the house is better than being in the field, but for a pet, the reverse is true.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
There's nothing unethical about having a cat if you have a cat door and let it come and go as it pleases. But having a dog is unethical, because the vast majority of dogs are incredibly bored for like 90% of their lives.

They wouldn't get bored if you didn't give the cat a way to escape.

Hey thanks for the info. She's probably the most loyal cat I know (oxymoron). When she's not outside she's by my side or hanging around purring up a storm. I'd post a pic but she's outside taking care of business. She'll be back this morning if it's not rainy. If it is rainy she'll stay outside cause she likes rainy days. Cats eat worms, right?

I think that in the more racist societies e.g. the USA, having a pet is a placeholder for a house negro. What? I hear you ask.

But that's the truth, the US has unresolved racial issues that cannot be solved by pet ownership alone.

The real question is how do people rationalize leaving their dogs unleashed outside their house to run wild. All I want to do is take a walk around the neighborhood without getting barked at or chased by unruly dogs.

I don't get that either, whenever my dog is outside it's behind a 10 feet high fenced dog run connected to my house, and over 100ft from the closest passing road

It's not that I don't trust the dog, but I sure as hell don't trust other people :colbert:
