Why do catfags feel the need to compare their vermin to man's best friend?
And yes, the dog sees its owner struggling, so it helps her.

Hello /an/imal lovers, a representative from /147/ here (Snooker thread on /sp/).

Just popping in to inform you that there is a female Thai snooker player called Nutcharut Wongharuthai and she goes by the nickname "Mink". We affectionately refer to her as a mustelid and like making silly posts about her being a literal riverbank creature. That's all, bye for now!

A house cat has 1/2 as many neurons in its cerebral cortex as a chihuahua in addition to having smaller frontal lobes. They are mind-bogglingly stupid animals and can happily live in a 500sqft apartment for their entire life.

It has also been proven many times that cats are incapable of routing a rodent infestation. Instead, they alter rodent behavior so rodents without toxoplasmosis hide more effectively and only sick or injured rodents (usually with toxoplasmosis) get eaten. This has the odd effect of removing a cat causing an immediate flood of rodents - because they were already there, just hiding.

There is never any sane reason to refuse to neuter cats and keep them indoors.

So why do cat people still let cats outside to kill animals, destroy nature, and spread a disease that literally kills babies? I just looked it up and cats can effectively transmit black plague from rats to humans. Crazy.

How are facts anti-cat?

Is "pitbulls are dangerous" anti-dog propaganda? "poodles are dumber than horses" "labs shouldnt roam outside"? anti-dog? Huskies dont control rabbit infestations… anti-dog!

It's a literal brain parasite. It's mostly women and literal faggots/feminine men that "own" cats. It's no coincidence.

>>5067723
Don't forget that outdoor cat shit gets into waterways and infects much more intelligent mammals like dolphins, seals, and sea otters with toxoplasmosis.

this actually makes it deadly
its like a horsecock up the anus for the penguins. penguins do not have dicks or accommodations for dicks. they die every time.

who cares is apt for giraffes fucking elephants or chimps boning jaguars or something but seals are just nasty

I think I read that the risk of rabies from a bat is practically zero but I'm not sure.
>>5060738
I think nocturnal ones are ugly, hideous, neat creatures. I came home from the club one night, in the snow, and found a bat shivering on my doorstep. I brought it in, put it into a shoebox with some socks to warm it and drove it to the nearby bat sanctuary the next morning.
They told me the hideous thing had… I forget… white nose disease? Something like that. Whatever it was called, they explained that it was a fungal infection that can lead to colony collapse so they had to destroy it, unfortunately.
I'm sorry batbro (or batbrodette). I didn't mean to get you killed. : (
>>
>>5067822
White nose disease makes a bat itchy,so it can’t properly hybernate/sleep,so instead it just stays up all night shivering and losing energy.

>>5067822
>drove it to the nearby bat sanctuary the next morning
man I just hate it when the nearest bat sanctuary is closed and you have to drive a few extra miles to get to the second closest one
