#im extremely pro indoor cat!!!!!!

[sniffanimal]

Also, even if your cat is indoors (like they fucking should be!!!), weird freak accidents can occur that can put them at risk for rabies so having their shots up to date is so so so important! I had a BAT fly into my apartment through my BACK DOOR (which was open because we were doing stuff on the porch). I live on the second floor, the last thing I expect is random wildlife getting into my livingroom. My cats are okay, (the bat is okay, it's at a rescue upstate), and we got them boosters for their rabies shots (which they were up to date with anyways) immediately after. Even if you think you're safe from it, its better to be actually safe than sorry!

If you have an outdoor cat and you think you've never seen them have bite marks or anything that could be from a rabies transmission, remember that bat bitemarks are usually not detectable!! they're very very small and not very deep!! keep your fucking cat indoors

I've been reading so much about rabies and cats and there are so few cat owners who keep their cats up to date on rabies vaccinations and buds please keep your kitty's jabs up-to-date and please please please keep your cats inside and please treat any cat with an unknown vaccination history as a wild animal and don't try to touch it or pet it or catch it.

The most recent survivor of the Milwaukee protocol is an 8 year old girl who contacted rabies through scratches from feral cats that lived in a colony at her school.

Don't touch strange cats even if they're friendly, and teach your kids not to touch strange cats either. (For that matter teach your kids not to touch strange dogs either, but decades of stray eradication and mandatory vaccines means that the US is one of the few places in the world where cats are more likely to be rabid than dogs)

Also did you know that there's one case of transplant-acquired rabies recorded in the US? The recipient got a kidney from a donor who died in an accident and nobody was aware the donor had rabies. The recipient died of rabies, which is a bit of an extreme flavor of graft failure if you ask me. Terrifying!

Anyway. If you, too, want to have nightmares about rabies you can search my website (www.ms-demeanor.com) for "keep your fucking cat indoors" and scroll to the section on rabies and read some nightmare fuel (like the case report on the family that moved across 3 states with their 13 barn cats, unaware that one was incubating rabies).

Did you know that in 1994, 665 people in New Hampshire had to be given post exposure prophylaxis for rabies because of one infected kitten that had contact with a racoon before being brought to a pet store?

The only way animals are tested for rabies is to examine their brain tissue. The animal is killed in order to do this. If your pet is exposed to rabies they stand a much, much, much better chance of being quarantined instead of being euthanized for testing if you have kept their vaccinations current.

Please keep your pets' vaccinations up to date, and please keep your cat indoors. There's a risk of exposure even for indoor cats, so make sure they've got their shots.

Unfollow Us Now Challenge

Not actually trying to make you unfollow or anything but just like, putting out our controversial takes that are generally consistent through the system and/or I specifically as a part have no patience for and because I have no patience for it, no one in this system can cause I'm Like That as a part.

Anyways I'm gonna sit here and think of the shit that is 'controversial' about us.

White people are inherently problematic until proven otherwise (Not a hard rule, but general perspective of mine)

"Western Tulpamancy" is cultural appropriation (Not Up For Debate)

We will always reblog the "reblog to explode a TERF" button

We don't believe in heavily policing labels as long as they are in good faith

We do not give two shits about endos / endodiscourse

We half jokingly say we "kin" things

We do not believe in narcissistic abuse and adjacent shit

We are a raging commie (technically "we" aren't, technically only I am, but I'm converting Riku and Im a mega raging commie)

We hate p*dophiles and zoophiles (can't believe this is a 'controversial' topic)

We will judge you if you buy a bred parrot for any reason other than saving it

We are Luciferian / Satanist in philosophy and we really dislike Christianity / Catholicism / Mormonism / Adjacent Religions

We will look at you in extreme judgement if you are shipping incest / pedophilia / etc - especially unapologetically

We support omegaverse and actually think personally it is very gender friendly

We have Cluster B traits - very likely ASPD and NPD

We think syscourse and online discourse in general is dumb

We think the psychiatric system is broken

We think the prison system is broken

We think the medical system is less broken but broken

I hate America with a passion. Other parts not as much but I do.

We are pro legally authorized conservation managed / conscious hunting

We probably would save a bird over a child any day (not a serious one, but we are low empathy to people and love our birds)

We unfortunately live in America, its cool if you wanna unfollow us cause of that, I would too

We are queer and trans ooooh spicey

We are ALSO Asian oooooh bigots begone

We don't know or enough on SW discourse / policy and therefore have no opinion and leave that discussion to people more engaged and dedicated and involved in the pragmatics of that

We think Attack on Titan is HELLA problematic, but Riku very much loves the sound track and art style

Harry Potter just sucks AND is problematic like why do people still engage with it (not actually a huge deal mainly putting this as a joke)

We don't think wild animals should be kept as a pet

We are mild to moderate jocks and love our martial arts

We 100% believe that cats should be kept indoors and heavily judge those that let their cats be let outdoors unsupervised and unleashed

We don't really like most fruits

We are likely aiming for final fusion

If you celebrate Lunar New Year but aren't of a person of the culture and aren't invited by a person of the culture, then we will judge you

We "believe" in Climate Change

We eat meat

Annnnd I can't think of any more. Will update next time I sit down of things people might be upset about.
