    Also cat: my asshole tastes acceptable today. Also human: that asshole I just ate tastes acceptable today.

    Obvious conclusion: cats and humans are genetically identical.

    How many of you have cats that look like they should be in a hair commercial?

    Edit: ITT, Send me cat pics

    I can guarantee you that cat was brushed by a human just before that shot. No alley cat in the wild would ever look like that from just licking.

      Good nutrition too. That’s a cat that gets the best and it shows.

      Hot tip for humans: You too can have healthier hair if you eat better, get sleep, exercise and reduce stress!

      (Unless you have baldness genes, in which case, shave that shit and own it.)

    Also something related I never came to grips with: cat’s breath = the stench of a thousand decaying corpses. Licks fur constantly. Fur = the smell of springtime itself.

    My (unfortunately late) void had a scratching post with the top level just at my nose height, so whenever he lolled around there I made a point of taking a deep breath of fluffy freshness.

      I have owned many cats, and I have huffed deeply of them all.

      Cat fur, cat toes, cat bellies, all have these unique and wonderful scents that are probably more connected to our emotional connections to them than the actual nature of the scent itself. This should teach us a lot about social conditioning and our senses.

      My cats breath isn’t really bad. I thought if their breath was bad it means they likely have something wrong in there.

    I have 2 cats, the orange has a thicker fur and it was never very soft but the tuxedo has a velvet, soft, shinny fur. It’s so amazing that I pet her for too lomg sometimes and get a bitch slap

    you want to polish up a cat, brush him. My boy Harry would shine up so bright after a good brush. My current girl Izzy is kinda frizzy anyway but she’ll take a satin finish.

    you guys know that you don’t have to shampoo and wash your hair right? It’s really not that bad.

    As long as you shower regularly and properly wash it it’s literally fine.

    If you don’t believe me try it.

      Hair is actually very much not the same from person to person, let alone race to race.

      As long as you shower regularly and properly wash it it’s literally fine.

      this statement alone is generic (and thus problematic when you try and apply it to all humans). What does regularly mean here? Every day? Every few days? Does this arbitrary regularity match a black person with curly hair vs a white person with straight hair? etc.

      It’s almost like a one-size-fits-all when it comes to health isn’t a great idea

        Hair is actually very much not the same from person to person, let alone race to race.

        i mean obviously, but don’t forget that we also literally evolved without the existence of shampoo and conditioner, and showers. So we’re probably fine without it.

        this statement alone is generic (and thus problematic when you try and apply it to all humans). What does regularly mean here? Every day? Every few days? Does this arbitrary regularity match a black person with curly hair vs a white person with straight hair? etc.

        I don’t know, how often do you shower? Most people shower daily, some people shower less frequently than that, very few people shower more infrequently than that outside of just having bad hygiene, unless we’re not counting baths for some reason.

        There’s a reason it’s a generic statement, i can’t prescribe my highly irregular and variable shower schedule to the average person as it’s probably not socially acceptable, but i also don’t go outside, so.

        I feel like most people can sort of like… Figure it out themselves? Seems like a reasonable assumption to me when it comes to personal hygiene.

        It’s almost like a one-size-fits-all when it comes to health isn’t a great idea

        yeah… That’s why i said go try it?

      I have tried, and my hair gets super greasy and a bit smelly if I don’t wash it every once in a while. And the conditioner is mostly just to keep it from getting frizzy after I’ve slept on it all night.

        yeah, it’s dependent on the individual, most people just excessively use that shit every day.

        The overnight frizz is a nightmare, but i just live with it, my hair is naturally messy anyway so it’s not getting much better even if i did lmao.

      My scalp gets itchy if I don’t shampoo at least once a week. Also if you have sweaty scalp you are gonna have a lot more oil build up that can collect dirt, grime and dead skin.
