my cats ear is tipped because he used to be feral. i don’t think this is really a matter of consent, an animal can not consent to any form of modification which includes necessary things like spaying and neutering or ear tipping and microchip tags. in my opinion any intrusive modification done to an animal should be for the animal’s benefit whether it be for health or safety and not just a reflection of the owner’s personal tastes. no benefit, no modification.

Sorry to be a troll but I miss all the extreme posts when I first started reading several months back. Now this is just a gauge and tattoo blog. Yes, I know they are body mods. I just miss seeing the penis of the day.

You guys, the cat might have already had a hole in its ear, and the guy thought it’d be amusing to stick a random earring in it. I know people whose cats have notches in their ears from getting into fights. Either way; I dunno, cutting off a cat’s balls seems way more cruel to me than piercing its ear.

pretty sure the first 2 pics just made my heart melt a little

The first two pictures are too cute but I am not a fan of the third one.
IF the cat had been pierced (and it wasn’t simply a bar put in a hole that was already there for sake of a picture) then how can you say it’s fair.
No consent = no piercing

(assuming the hole was not already there)
i think that’s a barbell… not a tracking device for the cats safety…therefore i find it sick.
we can understand and choose to be in pain from a piercing but animals can do neither.
neither can an animal consent to being pierced. if we do not consent then we do not get pierced. how is this any different – and i don’t care if someone says “but they were sedated when it was done” it is still cruelty to the animal because they still have the healing to go through – and what happens if it gets caught and pulls…no wait…rips out?

I agree with Bunson. Maybe the lack of penises and better boobies is why I’m bitchy. I like when people stretch their piercings, and I like tattoos, but I want something that is a little more inspiring of good discussion, not “OMFG what a douche! He pierced his cat!”(Man, for all we know he put some jewelry in an existing hole in that cat’s ears. I’ve seen some hella scraggly alley cats. My best friend in high school’s cat had holes in his ears, and a bit of a shortened tail, because he was originally an alley cat.) I am just tired of petty drama.

Also, man, two updates a day? What is up with that? I swear this place used to get updated like crazy.
Of course, maybe I was visiting it less frequently, and it just seemed so.

WOW so many of you guys are way overreacting to a picture.
None you you know the circumstances.

this was with the 3rd picture:
“”Cat Pierced Like It’s Owner”
“The cat is named Cheetarah because she looks so fierce. She seems to love the piercing, not clawing at it all.”

One word for you all: PHOTOSHOP!

Ugh, because this hasn’t been discussed a million times. Animals + piercing/tattoos = NO.

maybe he didnt actually PIERCE his cat… like someon up further said, cats get booboos from fighting and stuff, too. maybe he just noticed a hole, stuck something in it temporarily and took advantage of the photo op?
but honestly, the position of the stud does look a little funny. photoshop just to inspire a huge flame war?

I wonder how many of the people who find the lack of consent deplorable here eat meat, or benefit from animal-tested products and drugs. Even for vegans, I respect that, but there has to be some line you draw of where using animals is acceptable. Labor animals don’t give consent but are present and work on farms. Pets are captive without consent. Guide dogs and other assistance animals cannot give consent. It is a question of where a person draws the line of what is okay and what isn’t, and who’s to say what line balances things best?
The cat can’t give either explicit consent or explicit approval, and could not mind a piercing, or like it. Nobody here is in a good position to judge that. Nobody here has any validity dictating how another interacts with animals in their life.

ahhh wtf? That’s so mean 🙁 Cat’s have really sensitive skin, imagine it comes out in an allergic reaction? What if it gets ripped out, or infected? I really hope it’s a photoshop.
and Bunson IAWTC.

actually reading back i do wonder why these pictures keep getting posted. i highly doubt people will change their opinions on this subject.
i’ve posted mine on atleast 5 different “animal piercing/tattoo” posts. i think i may ignor the next one.

i like the manimal on the top left. he’s got the whole kitten cabootle. the piercing is obviously shopped. you wouldn’t see the back bead and kitty would have ripped that out.
