But you‘re literally only existing to cater to her every need for every single second of your life. And you FAILED!
At this points she should really consider giving you a pay cut. Humans these days… 😤
Please be sure to sort the hanging cords - too many stories of children and animals getting caught in them and being strangled. Sounds extreme but it happens!!
I’ve known a couple of cats that were strangled to death on these cords. OP is lucky they aren’t posting about a tragic death. Hopefully others can learn from this cute orange kitty who only lost one of its nine lives!
Absolutely. It's time to tie up those cords or switch them with the now standard cordless variety.
One of my cats got stuck this way after I left home for work. Thank goodness I forgot something and came back 5 minutes later or else she would have died.
I work at a vet, getting a call from a distraught owner that she came home to her kitten hanging from his neck on the cords to the blinds and isn't breathing will always stay with me.
Something you didn't understand maybe ? As I tried to tell multiple times under here, don't worry, cause we do, and take care of the dangers. Sorry to share a funny moment.
In California you can't even find blinds with pull strings like that anymore, they are all self adjusting so you just grab the bottom and move it to the level you want and it just stays there.
Schrödingers cat was not a theoretical experiment - he actually had a cat and Schrödinger became an excellent physicist by observing his cat behaving weirdly over the day.
Nothing to defend. You said the picture was taken by a bystander but if you've been around cats, you know that situation could have worsened to an unrecoverable point in less than a second.
Think you could untangle them? Not if they panic and bind it around themselves. Think you could simply break/cut it if worse comes to worst? Not if they're struggling/running away or it's too tight against their body. What if the cat got itself free but injured itself in the process, ex: the shifting weight pulled an/the object down on it.
Situations like these are not the time for pictures and pictures like these are not defendable. When a dependant is at such a risk, all hands are needed even if that means being idle (but still free) while calming the subject.
Edit: To make it even more gross, when advice is given to eliminate the hazard, OP chooses to respond to other joke comments instead. Imagine if this were a child in the picture taking keys for a joyride and the parent posts this while downplaying the severity and not acknowledging they should move the damn keys. This little cat probably has a happy loving life but you need to be more responsible. Too many know the other ending to this story and to bring it up with such levity is disgusting.
The problem is just the multiplicity of people thinking they know better than concerned folks. The hazard is known, and has been taken care of, and I think it is obvious that everybody should NOT start with the statement that owners are irresponsible. The most pragmatic conclusion is that the picture's situation is a one-time event and not the norm. I'm not even the owner of the cat, I was one of the bystanders looking at her owner taking care of her as soon as we heard the curtain's noise and noticed she was tangled.
I answered the jokes mostly because the other moralizing comments are just blatantly annoying and you know that. We take care of Artemis and she's not in danger. Don't worry, we do.
when I was in middle school my math teacher's cat got caught in the blind string and when she got home from work her cats leg was completely fucked and they amputated it

And he looks like he blames you.
