I have a question for Clownblr
I’ve recently been intrigued by the idea of owning pet clowns, and researching the many, many breeds, sub-breeds/mixed of clowns; I have a question- can a Juggalo be considered a breed of clown, or is it just within the same genus or even family?
Thank you to anyone who answers this question, I do not wish to be ignorant on this topic!!

@the-thinkingcat is it okay to hold cats like this? They don’t seem bothered at all but still…
so there’s no real harm to holding cats like this, but most cats won’t tolerate it. in this case, these cats are probably used to it and just chalk it up to some thing their owner does.
actually, checking out this person’s social media, it looks like the tabby is the only cat they haven’t had since kittenhood, so most likely the three persians are super used to handling and extremely tolerant, and the tabby as you can see is a little more annoyed – flat ears, somewhat more aggrieved body language. the tabby is also 17 pounds according to his instagram, so he’s also the heaviest and that probably makes this hold a bit less comfortable as well.
that said, again, all of these cats are tolerating this. with most stuff it’s a question of how the individual cat feels about it rather than a hard and fast rule of “all cats hate x” or “all cats like x” – so, as you noticed, these cats don’t seem really bothered, so you don’t really need to worry about them! just use care when replicating in case your own cat isn’t so tolerant.

We got Tippex this slate hide recently and he never used it, so we gave it to Merry instead and he’s obsessed with it. He only stopped using when he was in shed and now he’s peeled it’s his favourite thing again
