[(Anonymous)]

Which is fine if it's your own cats but it's creepy to take them from your neighbor. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Would you call it creepy if your neighbor owned an apple tree but never ate or used apples in any way, so you took them to use/eat instead?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, because that is their property. Now, if you asked, that's another thing entirely.

[(Anonymous)]

And your actual source that she never asked is...?

[(Anonymous)]

I believe from the horse's mouth, on Den of Angels.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I went back and looked. She admitted to bribing the cats with cat nip and then clipping off whiskers with a toenail clipper.

Comment #91. VictoriaVictrix is Mercedes Lackey

[(Anonymous)]

And if "drugs and assaults cats" had been your original post, no one would have taken you to task.

But it wasn't, so they did.

[(Anonymous)]

They aren't getting salty, so why are you?

[(Anonymous)]

If someone's not using their car, is it okay for me to take it if I'd get a lot of use out of it? It's still someone's personal property. You want those apples, you ask permission.

[(Anonymous)]

Ridiculous analogy. It doesn't hurt a tree to have apples picked off it. (in before Wizard of Oz reference)

[dinogrrl]

Not really? No creepier than using any shed/molted animal materials in art*. As I said in my other comment, otherwise they'd just get thrown away. Free materials.

Now, if she were surreptitiously sneaking around a friend's house looking for cat whiskers, or cutting them off the cat's face, that's definitely questionable.

*Unless you have moral/religious/whatever objections to it, then yeah I could see how it's creepy.

[(Anonymous)]

She would lure them over. Sorry, but if I caught someone luring my animal over, I would be weirded out. And there were rumors that she would snip them off, but I was weirded out enough by the luring someone's pet over to remove whiskers part without believing those rumors. Maybe I'm just over-protective of my animals, but stroking a cat's whiskers until they come off seems a bit stressful to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that's definitely weird. They're not like regular hairs, they're sensory devices.

[(Anonymous)]

I know my cat flinches before my hand even gets near his whiskers, and he trusts me, so imagine how stressful it would be for a cat to have a stranger do that.

[dinogrrl]

Yeah, that is pretty weird.
