I feel like we've reached a consensus on that one. Many vets don't do it anymore.

But I've found indoor/outdoor cats to be one of those America/rest of the world divides.

House cats are an invasive species in the Americas. That's why their impact on wildlife populations are a bigger issue.

Anyone wanna debate indoor vs outdoor cats?

I had an outside cat that I inherited from my wife's aunt after she died. Little guy had been outside for like 8 years at that point, so i kept him outside and got a nice warm house and poo poo for him. He got hurt and I kept him inside for like 2 weeks as he healed and he seemed to love that poo poo so I was going to make him inside permanently because I hated leaving him outside. But once he got well, fucker started going insane and pissing on the walls and attacking my other cats, which he had not done before that, so he then became an outside cat that I let inside a lot.

Then one day he never came back and I assume he's dead :( RIPD Pedro.

That is my outside cat story.

P.S.: he had cat AIDs

edit: I now feed all the stray outside cats who have been snipped, vaccinated, and released in our neighborhood and I would let every last one inside if that was an option.

The only tip a vet deserves for cutting off a cat's fingers is the tip of a knife. And then the rest of the knife.

Katt
Nov 14, 2017

Meanwhile as I was reading about if spaying a female cat that was in very early pregnancy was possible I found that the US has a veterinary "gold standard" for clinics who refuse to perform "cat abortions" on moral grounds.


The reason I was looking was because I was taking over a friends cat and she was 8 months old, not spayed and had been running around outdoors a lot so I was worried she might already be.

I don't roll my eyes about animal rights but nomenclature isnt going to help normalize being vegan but it will for lgbt issues. noone pictures something when you say beat a dead horse or bird in the bush but there is a ton of connotation to the words dealing with lbgt or poc.

As for your point about animal rights not taking away from lgbt rights I never said they did and never ment to imply that you can only care about one thing.

Complicated question. New Christmas/holiday music comes out every year, but the broadest, most general purveyors of holiday music are effectively oldies stations and it can take years for a new song to work it's way into their rotation. Like that Mariah Carey song came out in '94, but didn't really get accepted as a standard until much later.

All that being said, Christmas music has been subject to the same kind of niche diversification as every other genre, so anything that isn't just regular FM radio has entire stations devoted to new and inde holiday music.

I've definitely heard some really beautiful holiday/winter folk and indie songs, but you have to be in like, an artisan cider place or a pourover coffee bar where the woman in knit everything has her Spotify going to hear that stuff in public, otherwise it's the same poo poo everywhere and louder than you can imagine

Yeah, I've seen this a few times now. Private radio stations deciding not to play a rapey song in todays climate of openly discussing the problems with decades of rape culture is mass censorship apparently.

IIRC the song was originally written and performed by a married couple to sing at holiday parties where the subtext was probably less rapey.

On first listen, I understand thinking the lyrics are questionable. But any semi-critical analysis disproves any rapey vibes. You have to purposely misunderstand the lyrics and context at that point.

Maybe if I hadn't been coerced into doing things I didn't want to do I would read it more innocently, but it genuinely makes me uncomfortable to hear it in my own personal context now, even if it was supposedly innocent in the context at the time. The lyrics do not hold up anymore, especially with how easily it can be 'misconstrued'. I'm one of those over-sensitive whiners who don't like hearing it because it triggers unpleasant memories of being taken advantage of. I also really friggin despise lovely romance duets. So the song disappearing makes me quite happy in more way than one.

"This song triggers unpleasant memories and I don't think it's a good song" is an entirely reasonable stance to hold.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
I don't think the song is as rapey as some people, but I also have zero problem with it never being played on the radio or over a stores intercom ever again.

There's certainly a lot more justification for taking off public air waves than when they temporarily banned John Lennon's Imagine after 9/11 because of the line "imagine there's no religion."

Right, but the reason I mentioned the original context is because in the original context it is both sides thinking it's playful, not that "that's how it was in the olden days".
