        A clamp (padded, preferably) on the scruff of the neck will temporarily brick a cat.

        Try this only with familiar cats with whom you have rapport.

        Don’t leave them for too long. A few minutes at most.

          Why would you try that with any cat, especially one that you’re close to? The fuck.

            But he only said he scruffed them (if I am reading it right), not that he grabbed them by the scruff, is this apparently something that is considered abusive or something? If a cat claws at my leg and I pinch there to make it stop that is absolutely not the same as grabbing them there. I would never actually try lifting them that way.

        It’s not even a challenge, one drop of rogaine will brick any cat. All you have to do is touch them with it.

        Edit: don’t fucking do this you sickos.

            It contains an enzyme their body cannot process and it effectively poisons them to death. I believe it attacks the nervous system.

              Oh. Damn. Good thing I found this out.

              I mean, I never have actually touched rogaine, but this is kinda like when I was 4, and I was going to feed a dog a piece of chocolate. The dog wanted chocolate, I wanted to share, suddenly I’m getting my hand slapped and yelled at.

              Like c’mon! We JUST watched a seseme street last week about how good sharing is! Now my wrist hurts!

              THEN she tells me dogs can’t have chocolate! Like I’m just supposed to just KNOW a dogs digestive system! I’m still learning colors and shapes, and you’re asking me to know biology of dogs!

              So, no dogs have died from chocolate from me, and now I know if I lose my hair, and have a cat, I can’t have rogaine. Because I assume I’ll be sleeping, and you just KNOW my cat is gonna be the weirdo cat who licks people in their sleep. Suddenly I wake up with a dead cat.

              So good thing I learned now.

                Turns out dogs are perfectly fine eating milk chocolate. I know this because I had a dog who jumped up on a table and ate an entire package of Hershey’s kisses once. We thought she was a goner, but poison control said she’d be fine and she was. High quality dark chocolate is what poisons dogs
