Of course you can sue private companies for discrimination. Antidiscrimination law would be pretty loving useless if you couldn't. A Christian baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding is also a private company. Or, you know, a Woolworth with a lunch counter.

NB: This is not addressing the merits of any particular antidiscrimination suit. Just taking exception with the notion that somehow private companies should be off-limits.

For me, it will always be the jet pilot who had to test out the effects of zero gravity on animals by performing parabolic arcs in his plane and releasing the test animal as he started his descent.

The animal selected for him to release in his tiny cockpit? A cat.

A creature made from fur, piss and razor blades, floating directly in front of your unprotected face.

You know what? Never bathe a cat. If they get into something gross, hit them with the hose and that's it. But otherwise....yeah, never the gently caress mind.

I can almost see the line of thinking, since I have had dogs who hate baths and would've loved to have a door of some sort to keep them in. That said, my dogs couldn't jump 5 times their height into the air and aim directly at my face, and I only bathed one at a time.

Yeah, the way a dog retaliates for an unwanted bath is just sitting in mute silence during the bath, staring you in the eyes with a look of "why are you doing this to me? Do you no longer love me? Was I a bad dog?" breaking your heart.

Yeah, with dogs if you give them snacks and scritches all of your prior indiscretions are forgiven forever-
It's different with cats; that's merely the basic stuff you have to do for them to deign to acknowledge you as an acceptable presence in their environment.

I have found that you can confuse a cat that's hostile to baths with bubble bath, but YMMV.

EDIT: would still not recommend that this be attempted with two cats at once.

Oh agreed, my big ol' chocolate lab *loved* baths as a rule. But there have been a couple times when he was super resistant. Granted those were all times he got his annual skunk spray to the snout, so those were generally unpleasant for everyone involved. That's when I'd get the "you don't love me anymore" looks, and that's a devastating look from a lab.

My brother got convicted of non- violent resisting arrest when he was 15 at a party because the cops showed up to break up the party and he was so scared that he didn't step outside when the cops came to the door.

This has bled off on me and my little brother, last time I got pulled over for a broken tail light the cops asked if I was related to him, when I answered honestly I was immediately thrown in cuffs while they searched my car.

gently caress the cops.

if you’re in the US the solution to this is to not say ANYTHING to the cops, except for these 4 phrases:

“Am I free to leave?” (and maybe “why am I being detained?” if the answer is “no”),
“I want to remain silent,”
“I do not consent to search,” and
“I want to talk to a lawyer.”

These phrases activate certain legal protections and rights.

The “I do not consent to search” one is the newest because cops are now taking silence as consent. :(

When I first got a kitten, the first time we gave her a bath she gave me the sad puppy dog look. I leaned down to her face and as soon as I was within striking distance she clawed the gently caress out of me. Clever girl.

Oh yeah, it's in the US. It was specifically the royal palm police department back in '06. I was 19 and still thought the cops were there to help. Oh how wrong I was.

I've since moved away and now that I live in a small town, the cops are assholes but they're not completely terrible.

A friend of mine has a cat who, in addition to being frighteningly intelligent, also loved to get in the shower with my friend. The cat stopped doing it after getting into the shower with my friend's sister, who didn't realize her shower companion was a cat and started screaming hysterically. That feels schadenfreude-y enough to include in this thread.

When my last set of cats were kittens, they would howl outside of the shower until they figured out how to wedge a paw in and push the shower door open enough to squeeze through.

Just a reminder that you can be smug and correct about your rights, but that ain't gonna stop catching an asskicking from cops if they want or suspect you of something and they probably won't get punished for it.

Cats are like rainman, it's not the water they hate so much as they hate the sound of the faucet. Before my fat fat cat got less fat, we'd have to occasionally bathe him to get his butt un-crusted (thank god that's over with) and room temp standing water just made him depressed about life instead of violently fearful about it.

My cat does not enjoy being washed, but she just takes it and looks very sad about it. Bathing is reserved for the dingle berries that a fluffy butt has on occasion.

Otherwise water doesn't bother her, she can get water dripped on her and it's like nothing happened.
