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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Shaking it for a new fur suit.

[-] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

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

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 34 points 1 month 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.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month 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.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month 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.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That sounds hilarious. I don't see how that is abuse.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago

Remarkably racoon shaped actually.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I hate it!

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 20 points 1 month ago

Looks just like a naked old man's bottom.

[-] breakingcups@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Am an old man, can verify that's the case.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

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

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month 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.

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 17 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago
[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Such a hilarious show, Extras was

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh wow, that's a blast from the past! Thanks for linking it!

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago

You're in for a treat

[-] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

But....why?

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

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

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

RFK Jr appears from the mist

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Why in the fuck would you ever do this?

Poor raccoon.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 20 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Crud in its fur wouldn't require a freaking straight-edge razor shave with hot towels and hand fluffed shave cream like this. And if it was pests they wouldn't shave, and if they did, they would have shaved the tail and face as much as possible as well.

I'm sure this was for a valid reason, I just don't think it was one of those reasons.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nope, too smooth, way too smooth.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month 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.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Acklavidian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Looks more like a white pet onesie.

[-] Kcap@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I'm calling the police.

[-] Rozauhtuno 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Good shave.

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ExtraordinaryJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 4 points 1 month ago

Looks more like hes wearing a suit
