I Saw Something Scary

@Vivaci I'm going to take your word for it. But, I'm going to research it just a little more. I took it at face value, until you mentioned knees. But, I have seen real bears walking Upright, like people and they have very similar knees.

@Serenitree lmao.. It looks more like a werewolf to me. 🤗 Sure, I think it could be an old bear...

@Vivaci Okay. I checked. This is real.


Look at the knees and feet now.

Hairless hamster

Hairless baboon

Poor poor featherless parrot. He doesn't look pleased.

There are others, too.

@Serenitree OMG... Poor bald creatures... I think we're so used to watching them with fur, this looks sad. 😕

@Vivaci Animals, living on reserves, or rescued, often need to be shaved to treat whatever ails them. I have a cat whom I have to take to a vet to get shaved for is matting tendencies. He's a rescued cat, and won't let me brush or groom him in any way, and when I try, he hides for hours, used to be days, but now he just hides until he thinks I've forgotten about grooming. He needs to be tranquilizer to be groomed. Poor guy. He's due again. Soon.

@Serenitree OMG... Why groom cats though??? 😕 They self clean so well...

@Vivaci Some, like mine, have arthritis and can't reach their hind quarters. He's beautifully groomed back to where he can reach. But his hind end is terrible. Also, some cats with long coats, frequently need grooming because their long fine fur mats so easily. And badly.
I have one who never mats, but my friend has one she needs to groom daily. Or the cat's a mess within a few days. Not to mention coughing up hairballs

@Serenitree Oh boy.... This is new. I need to ask my friend how he maintains his cats. He told me it's not easy to maintain cats, and I didn't believe him.... 😰

@Vivaci Cats are easy to have as house pets, because you actually can leave them for a couple of days while you go away for a weekend, as long as they have plenty of food and water and clean litter, but like all living things, they are all prone to different problems or conditions. I had a cat who was diagnosed at five years old, with diabetes. I gave him two insulin shots a day and kept him alive and happy for twelve years. Him, I couldn't leave for even a single day, but he was such a great
family member/friend/pet, he was worth it.

@Serenitree awwww... 🤗 😘 God bless your beautiful soul, my dear...

@Vivaci
THANKS.
