  • Just how docile are your cats? If I’d take my cats to the bus without a container I’d have to run back and forth trying to fish them from the overhead storage racks when I reach my stop.

    I tried releasing them in my car once, and they managed to squeeze under the driver and passenger seats. At least that was an environment fully under my control.


  • The hate being picked up in general, even if there is no threat of vet, so they’ll struggle to get out of my arms and if they succeed - I’ve lost the element of surprise.

    Also - I have two cats, and if I need to take both to vet then even if I manage to place one in a carrier he’ll alert the other that something is wrong.


  • The problem is getting a hold of them in the first place. They just bolt from one hiding place to another, and I say “hiding place” but they’re not as much “hidden” as “hard to reach when you are a human-sized human”. The only reason I eventually manage to catch them is that ambush predators get tired quicker than persistence predators.






  • People died in concentration camps too - they are still distinct from death camps. There may be death camps in the near future, but there aren’t yet.

    Concentration camps are bad enough as is, and calling facilities like Alligator Alcatraz concentration camps has the advantage that it’s the truth - they check all the boxes in the concentration camp definition checklist. If you make stuff up for dramatic effect your argument is no longer factually correct - which means it can be disputed using facts.
