I hope you feel better soon!

I keep telling myself that, as I go through yet another box of tissues right now. For once I’m grateful I don’t have a cat, so I can suffer in peace.

I think Jerry wrote about this when it first came out. I’ve seen it before somewhere anyway.

According to Snopes:
This viral story has its origins in a neighborhood paper, but it is based entirely on the vague comments of two veterinarians and the musings of seemingly random people on the street.

How could I have forgotten to note this:

I have no reason to believe that this is “fake news.” Could be, but given the credulity of the anti-science nuts — I’m speaking here of many on the regressive left, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find such idiotic beliefs have currency.

I couldn’t help thinking of the cat licking it off later.

Try not to feel disgust. Don’t forget mucous flowing from the body is almost always beneficial. 😉

I knew animals used to be executed if involved in something like bestiality in medieval times. I’ll check the book out!

That’s very funny. But then people used to try animals for committing crimes. Here’s an awfully fascinating book on the subject, The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals https://www.amazon.com/Criminal-Prosecution-Capital-Punishment-Animals/dp/1616190302.

I use “awfully” in both senses of the word.

Well, yes, that’s what I was referring to. 😀
