The discussion centers around the humorous and somewhat absurd practice of dressing pets in clothing, particularly focusing on two Russian Blue cats seen wearing tight red t-shirts. Participants express amusement at the sight, noting the cats' discomfort and embarrassment. There is a strong sentiment against pet clothing, with some suggesting it indicates a troubling trend, such as encroaching spinsterhood. The conversation shifts to a broader critique of the pet fashion industry, including gourmet pet food and pet massage services, with some participants expressing disbelief at the money spent on such items. Others share anecdotes about their own pets and the appropriateness of clothing based on weather conditions. The dialogue also touches on the impact of domestic cats on wildlife, highlighting concerns about their presence in natural habitats. Overall, the thread blends humor with serious commentary on pet care and the societal implications of pet ownership practices.

Oh, lordy, Turbo! He really has his eye on that donkey! :smile:

Looks like he's thinking, "Just you wait, you no-good bone-stealing low-down jack-ass!"
Yeah, Sparky's a pretty good fellow, but he's not going to forget the bone-stealing incident, especially when his "father" Jeff was complicit in the crime! He forgave Jeff with the first hug after "the incident", but Donkey gets no such consideration and cannot be left unguarded anywhere in terrier range.

I was thinking it should have the caption, "I'm going to knock that smile right off your face the moment they put that camera down."

Poor Math Is Hard. Every thread she starts ends up in a cat fight.

:smile: I moved the cat fight out. Sorry for derailing your thread, MIH. :redface: Everyone may resume laughing at pets dressed in funny costumes (or at their owners...whichever seems more appropriate).

This is what moonbear does to cats found around her house trying to go outside!

(Pleaseeeeeeeee, don't shoot me again!)

The cat on her avtar is really shooting moonbear as she's out enjoying the garden, meanwhile the cat is locked inside on that nice sunny day! The irony!

Moonbie just needs to be assimilated. The right cat will come along sooner or later. :biggrin:

Speaking of which ... a friend of mine sent me an interesting tidbit of scientific research in which mice were infected with a certain fluke that impaired an instinctive cat-fearing center of their brains. (I'll try to dig this up if anyone is interested.) There was some speculation that cat-lovers are infected with this same parasite causing us to warm up to felines more readily than those who are not infected.

I think you have made an incredibly important biological discovery here. As everyone knows klingons and tribbles don't get along:

Notice that this Klingon is pretty much indistinguishable from a human.


The klingon spy was discovered in that episode due to the natural emnity between Klingons and tribbles. I feel certain it was in an attempt to innoculate themselves with a tribble-neutral parasite that the Klingons must have done something unfortunate to their DNA and suddenly, without explanation, all ended up looking like this:

Actually, the card was imprinted "Muletide Greetings"...:biggrin:
