I will always pamper my pets. I refuse to let them feel like I do. No animal deserves the hopelessness of depression or the ache of loneliness.

#depressing shit #tw depressing thoughts #love my pets #I looked into my snakes little face and she’s so adorable it made me introspective #there’s not a thought in her head #I’d die for her

The H5N1 (bird flu) virus is going around, and cats are proving especially susceptible to it. A big cat sanctuary in Washington state had TWENTY of their big cats (cougars, tigers, etc) die of bird flu.

There have also been cases of indoor-only domestic cats getting sick or even dying of bird flu after contracting it from raw cat food. And of course coming into contact with birds also puts your cat at risk.

To keep your cat safe:

Keep them away from birds, preferably keeping them entirely inside. If they are indoor-outdoor then remove any bird feeders from your yard to make cat-bird contact less likely.

Do NOT feed them raw food of any sort, including freeze-dried raw food. Freezing will not kill the virus!

A lot of raw pet food companies are using PR speak to assure customers that their raw food is safe. Remember that at the end of the day their priority is to make money and stay in business. Unless they are testing every bird carcass for the virus their assurances are meaningless, and they certainly are not testing every bird because it would be too expensive.

Cooking kills most viruses and bacteria, including H5N1.

#cat food #bird flu #H5N1 #raw food #cats #imo a lot of boutique foods prey on the insecurities of pet owners and their love of their pets #for example I saw some very touching Youtube ads for a dog food called 'The Farmer's Dog'#convincing enough that I was like 'wow I wonder if my dog would do well on that; let's do some research'#WELL #what my research found was that the company's food regularly causes pancreatitis in dogs #because their 'feel good' wholesome ingredients weren't formulated to meet a dog's needs #they were formulated to sound good to humans

#artists on tumblr #recently adopted two bunnies with my partner #from the local animal shelter #they're evil criminals #doing poop crimes and trying to climb onto everything #the more forbidden the spot the more they need to get there #and i love them with my entire life #stepping away from the computer #and petting fluffy butts #is truly the best therapy #if i'm ever bored there's always cleaning up to do

I really wonder if trauma theorists who say things like "Humans are the only animal that will be in a fright state when physically safe" or "the rest of the animal kingdom doesn't get PTSD" have ever, like

Do you think they've actually ever met an animal?

#staranise original #psychology #child abuse tw #ptsd tw #animal cruelty tw #so much of what we know about the nervous system and behaviour comes from animal studies!!!#the physiological toll of even fairly brief upsetting events on baby rats is evident for the rest of their lives #my cat has been spoiled like a princess for a decade straight #and if you reach out to pet the top of her head with your hand palm-down she WILL smack you #no matter how happy she is with the rest of the interaction #she LOVES being petted on the head if you approach with your hand behind her ears #seeing that A L W A Y S causes her to react out of sheer reflex #even with me #tell me that's not a trauma response #actually don't #I need to go wrap presents
