Though honestly, when he pans the commercial because the kid was "where they make the finest coffee....", I knew we weren't working with a genius: there are very few volunteer workers need in urban environments, and Africa's a big place.

But I'm begging you, dont help normalize the term "forever home." It bothers me more to think we're heading toward normalizing a difference between "a home for as long as you're cute" and the care of a responsible pet owner.

Badger Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 For some reason, it always annoys me about calling pets your children. Not so much the anthromorphizing of the animal, per se. But, even in human terms the relationship isn't really that dynamic. Guardian, is probably most accurate. And considering yourself, a cat's parent is just idiotic (unless maybe you actually found it as a newborn, and was the one who cared for it). The best you can hope to be in a cats' eyes is being an almost near-equal. Duke Bushido 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishFox Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 1 hour ago, Cygnia said: BMI is BS I recall in college being at 10% body fat or so (totally ripped, 6 pack, the works) and being 25 lbs into the obese range for my 5'10" frame. The BMI pays no attention to body composition at all and places any athlete with some muscle mass into the obese category. It's about as useful as using a mackerel to chop down trees.
