Looks like he's wearing nothing at all

I don't know what the context of that GIF is... and I probably shouldn't want to... but I do.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Shaking it for a new fur suit.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago

I low key want to know that racoon's skin care routine. Flawless.

Whatever their skin routine is, it's doing a decent job. You'd think trash pandas would be collecting blemishes.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Having your skin protected from the sun at all times really helps.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 21 points 2 days ago

Remarkably racoon shaped actually.

A long time ago my roommates and I shaved just the tip of our cat's tail, like the last two inches. It was absolutely hilarious.

People are going to crucify me for animal abuse but I swear the cat was totally cool with the process.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

I mean, it's a dick move, but doesn't qualify as abuse imo. No harm would come from it by itself, and if the cat didn't object at all, it's not worth arguing about.

But my grandparents had to shave their cat's tail for a few years. He would suck on it, and in the process pull out hairs, which would end up with sores where they had been pulled. So the vet said to keep it shaved down, if the cat would tolerate it. The cat did, and no more issues.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I mean if you only fid it once and the cat was not hurt by it I personally would not call that abuse. Sure you did it for no reason but the cat did not really suffer for it.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Did he give you a dirty look after he saw the result?

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

She didn't care at all but it brought everyone who visited much amusement.

[-] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

That's just a raccoon in a spandex. You can't fool me!

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I'm gonna need some context for this. Why is Patrick Stewart dressed like a bard?

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 days ago

That is a MOSTLY shaved raccoon.

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 29 points 3 days ago

You can't just show pictures of me in the bathroom without permission. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 17 points 3 days ago

Once I saw a raccoon poop and I was like "no way raccoons poop that big" but this does tell another story.

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Oh, they do. It has a distinctive, raggedy kind of look to the turds, doesn't it? Filled with all kinds of potential for disease.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 days ago

Thanks, I hate it!

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

Tell JD Vance that's a cat about to be dry rubbed.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

RFK Jr appears from the mist

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 20 points 3 days ago

Looks just like a naked old man's bottom.

[-] breakingcups@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

I'd imagine an old man bottom to be more hairy and wrinkly though.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Am an old man, can verify that's the case.

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 3 days ago

Was there some medical reason for this? Seems too extensive to have been done for surgery.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

I got this off Instagram - it was not explained why the raccoon was shaved, but it showed him growing the fur back in later videos.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It's just a little thing called style, perhaps you've heard of it?

[-] Acklavidian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Looks more like a white pet onesie.

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 17 points 3 days ago

I know googly eyes are not funny anymore but here they would've been

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago

I know googly eyes are not funny anymore…

What?! That’s not allowed

[-] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

But....why?

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Why in the fuck would you ever do this?

Poor raccoon.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 18 points 3 days ago

Looks like it's in an animal care facility of some kind. My guess is that it had some crud in its fur that they couldn't wash out easily, or maybe a pest infestation like lice.

Nope, too smooth, way too smooth.

I'm calling the police.

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago

They were so worried weather they could, that they didn't consider whether they should.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I appreciate that you couldn't decide which version of whether was appropriate so you tried both.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Good shave.

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I wish you had not. Nobody should be cursed with this knowledge.

[-] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Minus the tail (or maybe not) this resembles a famous politician.

[-] ExtraordinaryJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Man, I gotta read the whole title before clicking on the image.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 4 points 3 days ago
