is 9 pounds
was 9 pounds.
That 1% Nacho kid is going to have a new goal.
Is now 18 pounds, until the chicken is digested 😂
You will want thick gloves, a thick towel, and a container with lid to insert the cat into. Beans is not declawed, and knows you will struggle to maneuver under the bed. You may need a spray bottle of water as well.
Good luck.
Fuck it, I’m getting another chicken.
Beats getting another hand.
declawed
I haven’t yet had my fingertips snipped off either. Lovely euphemism for “mutilation of extremities”.
Me, looking up what declawing actually does: wtf that’s not declawing, that’s amputation!
Reading further: “can lead to behavioural issues” no shit, you don’t say…
Do you just go around looking to be offended?
I take offense to that.
No, I’m just a guy who doesn’t hate cats.
I take offense to that. I’m a guy who hates cats but still doesn’t think they should be declawed.
Right on, brother!
Fuck you. Clipping animals to make them more human friendly is atrocious.
Where did literally anybody support declawing cats.
In this instance I agree with his point though. I don’t see you walking around without fingertips.
On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.
What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.
You literally just contradicted yourself in two sentences.
You claim you don’t support inhumane practices, but then you call it “unnecessary drivel” when someone speaks out against them? And then you try to normalize those inhumane practices as simply “perfectly well accepted terms”?
They’re not just words, those words have meanings, and the meaning of this one is atrocious.
Ok, but no one said anything about declawing their cat. No one suggested that declawing cats wasn’t harmful to them. What exactly is the point of getting pissy with someone for using the correct term for a thing?
The top-level comment literally said “because the cat isn’t declawed” not “because cats have claws.”
It subtly insinuates that cats being declawed is the norm and that cats with claws are a deviation from that norm, when the reality is that cats with claws are the norm and that cats being declawed is the deviation. Not only that, but it’s also harmful and atrocious to force that deviation upon them.
The top-level comment was an attempt to normalize the mutilation of pets, and the next person’s response was completely appropriate and called for.
If it’s a euphemism then it’s not the correct term; mutilation is correct.
It is the currently used term, perhaps but it’s certainly not the correct one.

But claws are the fun part!
same vibe
Trigger warning. Why you gotta bring artax into this?
Beans is in charge around here.
Beans decides what the humans do and when.
Beans makes the humans ask permission to eat, sleep, exit and enter the house, and go to the toilet.
Sometimes Beans says no.
Even the cats are splurging on rotiserie chickens in this economy?!
They will never own a home
Beans must be a millennial (/s)
Our Cleo once grabbed a whole KFC drumstick, and managed to swallow it whole. That was one expensive evening at Kitty ER.
She also frickin LOVES Parmesan cheese. I caught her getting into a large cabinet, and in the back she had a stash of those little packets, like you get at a pizzeria.
That poor greasy carpet…
I cooked a lobster tail once, and our big alpha tomcat decided that he was just going to take it from me, right off my plate. I was more than willing to share, but he had other plans.
He had NEVER tried to steal anything before, he just really couldn’t resist the smell of that lobster.
So what kind of violin did you make from him?
Not my Jake, he was a varmint, but we loved him. He took his job protecting us very seriously. But that lobster just smelled toooo good. I get it.
Beans hunted that bird and took it back to her lair let beans have her feast! 😤😤
Become ungovernable.
That’s what you get for splurging on rotisserie chicken. /s
I’ll give you £9 for Beans.
£1/lb for fresh cat? In this economy??
Bad deal. I got my beans for 30p
Nine pounds apparently is around 4kg, that’s well within the normal weight range for a cat, why are you calling beans out for it?
I think the point was that a 9lb cat doesn’t need 2-3lbs of food. Beans is choosing not to share.
A cat can have an entire rotisserie chicken as a treat.
i think the point is that Beans has chosen to dedicate their entire weight to violence. they all know they outweigh Beans and shouldn’t be afraid, but Beans has made Beans into the world’s most dangerious teeny tiny little itty bitty kitty terrorist
Beans don’t consider it violence. Beans found this massive feast, just sitting there, and it certainly didn’t look like the humans were in any rush to claim it. Beans is just protecting their treasure and can’t figure out what the humans’ problem is.
I’m on team Beans. Humans can go get another chicken and learn how to properly guard your provisions this time.
tru. Beans won this prize fair and square
Beans would learn about the spray bottle that day. He would growl and be wet at the same time. Sad thing he knew he was not getting any of this without taking action so he took his chances. You may chastise him but he has already won
