I really, really hope that this is merely a sick attempt at humour.
If not...what would possess a person with that kind of mindset to even own a pet?

Hello; I guess because I came to a realization so long ago and have done what has been in my limited power to do about the dire issues, that I have made an uneasy peace with these events. I went thru stages of activism (peaceful sort). I went thru periods of trying to preach to others and was largely rebuffed or ignored. (Side note - my brother pretty much dismissed me for decades about this stuff. Now he is in his early 60's with young grandchildren and a new one on the way. I see the concern of my brother of late. I guess all the speeches I gave to my niece and nephew were like the unrecognizable noise in the Peanuts movies. )
I recognized long ago there was little I could actually influence the outcomes. I still see a new environmental issue crop up now and get upset but not like in the past. It passes.
One thing that may have some slight positive to it is things have taken so very much longer to get to our current stage of bad than was expected a few decades ago. The Earths system are more resilient than I expected. Chernyoble (sp) Russia nuclear accident in some sense has a positive side. I guess a radioactive event like that is about as bad for a local area as it can get in terms of a human created disaster. Yet of late the area is home to a variety of life. Is that a positive?
I was never happy about the name "global warming" for the climate change that seems to be happening with help from people. Do not get me wrong I do see evidence of climate change and I can see how we humans have some percentage of influence. The % of human influence is a fair question and I do not have a number in mind. I do figure we are at most a layer of influence on top of natural processes. Could it be we were on the way to a global cool down a few decades ago? Back in those past decades there was a notion we were in another interglacial period as had happened many times before. Glaciers advance in an ice age and then retreat for an interglacial time of around ten thousand years. Then another ice age and another interglacial period and so on. I think we are well past ten thousand years since the last ice sheets advance. I also can recall the brutal winters of the 1960's and 70's, especially the winter of 1977. Is it possible we have delayed a new ice age for a while? Could this be a thin silver lining to our looming and current environmental problems?
Oh my...
...shaving...

, I hereby apologize sincerely. I honestly thought you were referring to the tail... 
For the record there are tailless breeds of cats, look it up, crazy thing I tell you what.Oh my...

Same with dogs. I have an Aussie that’s was born with no tail.
I enjoy S skjl47 overly serious outlook on everything, though i'd love him to take his ex school teacher hat off once in a while and loosen up. I'm sure he's a very cuddly type of guy once you get through that hard exterior.
Jeff, if you've got any shaven pets, then now is the time to knock us dead with them.....
This is on a different level of feline wackiness. One minute they're water skiing all butch, and the next they're posing on the set of a christmas card shoot all cuddly and in a butter wouldn't melt way.
Nice cats by the way, but I think they'd look better shaved
