Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why would you do that to an animal? I don't get it.
Because people see their pets as an extension of themselves.
Or sometimes just as their property.
I don't endorse these notions, but I think that's the logic.

Compassionately intolerant
Oh for gods' sake. That is outrageous.
I can't even speak.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I totally view pets as property. Maybe it's the extension of self that I will never get. I just don't see a payoff--it's shanghaing them into something asinine, and unless you're weird like Steph's dog, I refuse to believe that any of them could possibly enjoy it, or even plain not care.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The tattooed cats ... that's creepy. And I imagine they had to sedate the cat to have it done. The ones of cats in S/M gear look like they've been photoshopped.

Even the temporary tattoos -- what's the point?

re: spoilers--if a book is going in a direction that I'm leery of, I'll check the end to see if it resolves in a way that doesn't make me want to throw it against a wall. I'm willing to read through badness if there's a payoff I can appreciate in the end.

Poor Chloe, ruining the curve for other dogs.

My dog has tattoos. One in each ear, and a small one on her belly.
Of course, the ear tats are from when she was a working dog, and the belly tat is to indicate that she was spayed. So totally different.
I am going to get her numbers tattooed on me. Just not in green. Hers are green.
