Stray cat got washed before being placed in a shelter. The context is in the video. And yes, washing can be horrifying for cats, and they should've at least tried to make it less scary. But at the end of the day, it has to be done for health reasons, just whoever recorded it is weird for being unprepared/not knowledgeable enough (to completely lock the room at least).

In their defense, if this cat was already scared shitless of showers there's not much you can do, and if they're young and smart enough it's gonna be fine (mentally). Very resilient creatures. I just hope they didn't ruin bathing for this fella.

I see patches of a unicorn from time to time, they're used for identification in the same way

You're reading their statement about it though.

You can't have huge reach without using shit tier corporate media. Not yet anyway. People are used to things they're used to, it's not exactly rocket science. Make backups elsewhere and encourage people to follow you there, that's the sensible option imo.

edit: unless you're willing to limit reach from day 1, I'm sure there are orgs like that

Plausible explanation - they want more reach. If you use something as ubiquitous as FB/IG, more people are going to read your page. Region dependents ofc

If it's something serious I take them to the scene of the crime, pinch the neck folds (do not ever carry them by that btw) and speak in an angry voice. Works best with cats that have more than 2 braincells lol
edit: mine would ignore the ear flicks, it's not even an annoyance to them
