I don't know what the context of that GIF is... and I probably shouldn't want to... but I do.

Shaking it for a new fur suit.

Whatever their skin routine is, it's doing a decent job. You'd think trash pandas would be collecting blemishes.

Having your skin protected from the sun at all times really helps.

That's just a raccoon in a spandex. You can't fool me!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago

You can't just show pictures of me in the bathroom without permission. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

A long time ago my roommates and I shaved just the tip of our cat's tail, like the last two inches. It was absolutely hilarious.

People are going to crucify me for animal abuse but I swear the cat was totally cool with the process.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

I mean, it's a dick move, but doesn't qualify as abuse imo. No harm would come from it by itself, and if the cat didn't object at all, it's not worth arguing about.

But my grandparents had to shave their cat's tail for a few years. He would suck on it, and in the process pull out hairs, which would end up with sores where they had been pulled. So the vet said to keep it shaved down, if the cat would tolerate it. The cat did, and no more issues.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

I mean if you only fid it once and the cat was not hurt by it I personally would not call that abuse. Sure you did it for no reason but the cat did not really suffer for it.

Did he give you a dirty look after he saw the result?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She didn't care at all but it brought everyone who visited much amusement.

Remarkably racoon shaped actually.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

I low key want to know that racoon's skin care routine. Flawless.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Thanks, I hate it!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

That is a MOSTLY shaved raccoon.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks just like a naked old man's bottom.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd imagine an old man bottom to be more hairy and wrinkly though.

But....why?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Once I saw a raccoon poop and I was like "no way raccoons poop that big" but this does tell another story.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Oh, they do. It has a distinctive, raggedy kind of look to the turds, doesn't it? Filled with all kinds of potential for disease.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I know googly eyes are not funny anymore but here they would've been

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I know googly eyes are not funny anymore…

What?! That’s not allowed

I'm gonna need some context for this. Why is Patrick Stewart dressed like a bard?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

You're in for a treat

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nope, too smooth, way too smooth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

yeah im like I can't get my chin like this with just some hair clippers.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tell JD Vance that's a cat about to be dry rubbed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

RFK Jr appears from the mist

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Was there some medical reason for this? Seems too extensive to have been done for surgery.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I got this off Instagram - it was not explained why the raccoon was shaved, but it showed him growing the fur back in later videos.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It's just a little thing called style, perhaps you've heard of it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Looks more like a white pet onesie.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why in the fuck would you ever do this?

Poor raccoon.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks like it's in an animal care facility of some kind. My guess is that it had some crud in its fur that they couldn't wash out easily, or maybe a pest infestation like lice.

I'm calling the police.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They were so worried weather they could, that they didn't consider whether they should.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I appreciate that you couldn't decide which version of whether was appropriate so you tried both.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Good shave.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I wish you had not. Nobody should be cursed with this knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Man, I gotta read the whole title before clicking on the image.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Minus the tail (or maybe not) this resembles a famous politician.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
