![]() ![]() The Tumblr post in which Luz shared the document has received more than 30,000 notes, although the original link to the Google doc no longer works. Cats aren’t small dogs and cannot be expected to behave as such.In the years since it was first posted, the “Am I a Lesbian?” doc has become something of a cult classic on the lesbian internet, although its author, Angeli Luz, has until now been mostly anonymous. Once again, your entire problem with cats as a species seems to stem from the fact that you don’t understand how cats express affection and it upsets you that they don’t do so the way that dogs do. They get lonely, and lonely cats act out. I only recommend adopting cats in pairs, so that they can keep each other entertained. Cats need to climb, need to scratch, and need small objects to play with. It isn’t intending to hurt you.ĩ9% of cat behavioral problems stem from bored cats. Digging in with its claws is how it balances itself on an unstable surface and is purely a reflexive reaction. If a cat is jumping on you, it loves you and wants to be close to you. Jumping on their owner’s back and clawing into their spine: Come on. Scratching their sleeping owner’s face: Trying to rouse you with its paw, probably gently, because it loves you and wants to play with you. Animals don’t do spite the way that humans do. Don’t anthropomorphize animals by attributing spite to them. Scratching their owner’s eyeball: Probably an accident, due to overstimulation when playing. Place fragile things out of a cat’s line of sight and reach, and if you don’t provide them with enough enrichment items that they go looking for them, that’s on you.ĭestroying Christmas Trees: Cats like to climb things. Your cat does not know what “fragile” means and does not understand the distinction between toy and not-toy objects. Cats are well-known to like to play with small objects. Pushing fragile things off tables and breaking them: Playing. I mean if a cat feels that threatened by everything in their owner’s household maybe the owner shouldn’t have gotten a cat. Jumping on their owner’s back and clawing into their spine: Self defense.Ī dog doesn’t do those things because a dog’s version of self defense is to be a good animal who loves you and doesn’t attack you unless you attack them first. Scratching their sleeping owner’s face: Self defense. Scratching their owner’s eyeball: Self defense. Pushing fragile things off tables and breaking them: Self defense.ĭestroying Christmas Trees: Self defense, I mean the tree attacked them. Usually what it boils down to is “I’m mad because the cat didn’t act like a dog”. What they mean: i dont know how to handle small animals and consider them lashing out in SELF DEFENSE an insult What they say: cats are evil and unable to love Ive honestly been looking for a while and I have yet to see any study that suggest middle aged women are even equally likely to be pulling BS than young men, or middle aged men, or young women, let alone predominantly responsible for continued spreading. The age thing is ridiculous as well when young people are far more harmful. A lot of campaigns to get people to wear them are starting to look at the gender difference specifically, and flipping the genders like this is doing nothing but damage.Īlso I would like to reiterate how honestly sexist it is that people are just automatically blaming women when all studies I’ve ever seen about demographics complying or not all are saying men are more statistically harmful to the covid prevention effort than women are. Not only is this vitriol towards middle aged women sexist and ageist (for want of a better word), but its also actively harmful, because a lot of people are viewing wearing masks as weak and compliant, which is one of the factors believed to be leading men to not wear masks. Men and people under 25 were most likely to believe in Covid misinformation. Men aged 19-24 were more likely to break lockdown, a majority of people aged 13-24 were found to be not complying with the hygiene rules. Men are more likely to not wear face masks. ![]() A huge part of the reason we’re dying is Trump and his mostly-male cronies, not to mention all the men out there protesting to play golf and get a haircut.īut the soccer moms are an easy target and are partially responsible so, sure, let’s just blame them. I feel like this tweet perfectly showcases my general objection to the use of the term “Karen” when there’s no male equivalent. ![]()
