After all that wanking, somebody needs a bath.
Cute Overload is, for those of you who don't spend your time hunting down pictures of adorable duckies and puppies (you weirdoes), an excellent source for awesome animal pictures. But it is also, occasionally, pretty damn wanky.

Consider one of today's offerings: photos of a cat getting a bath.

Lola O. does not approve: this was such a cute to sad scrolldown. cats don't need to be bathed, and pictures of the terror in their eyes as it happens is so not cute.

It is explained by someone who knows the owner that the kitty in question needs to be bathed due to a skin condition, but naturally the conversation doesn't stop there.

CATS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BATHED - so this attempt to get cute pictures is just darn right cruel.

I know lots of people have given legitimate reasons why cats should be washed, but honestly I think it's so unfair. Our cats don't have problems with hairballs and we've never washed them. I also suspect cats hate the smell of our idea of being clean, they probably prefer their own kitty smell. I'd never put my cat through that kind of stress... And if someone's allergic to cats, why have one?!

Still low-key, but then Sylvia brings the wank. I'm sorry, but who are these morons saying cats are not supposed to be bathed? My dad is a vet and so is my brother. I've had cats all my life.

Cats CAN'T stay TOTALLY clean if you don't wash them. They CAN'T. And sometimes they're really dirty and need to be washed. And guess what? They RELISH in the fact they're clean. They do seem to thank you afterwards.

Cats LOVE being clean. Put this info in your little heads before trying to sound so self-righteous, "oh my God that is soooo cruel". That is not cruel.
Sorry about the tone, but I had to let that out. Can't stand people who say shit about things they know nothing about.

Lola ain't taking that shit lying down. fine. this cat has a skin issue and thus needs to be cleaned. but it is still terrifying for the cat. and NOT cute but sad to watch.

some of the pics in the last month+ are definitely not cute. and really disappointing on this site.

-and just because someone is a vet doesn't mean they are the be all end all of knowlege and authority. all cats have to be cleaned? right. without us, like all the other creatures on this planet, they'd wither away into horrible messes.

And so on. Seriously, nobody wanks like animal lovers wank.

The best comment, however, goes to Carlisa: It's up to the owner of the pussy whether to wash it or not. sheesh!

I wonder what Chancery Stone would say to that.

	I admit, I saw that and laughed. I felt bad for the kitty, and I thought it was a touch odd to be taking pictures of your very upset cat... but I'd so do it too. And it was cute, and funny. Just saying, though, that this part of the Hive Vagina washes regularly. (Reply to this)

	...I've owned both cats and dogs, and BOTH of them give you that look when you give them a bath. Not seeing what's the big. (Although, I have never tried to give my cat a bath because a) I have been exceedingly lucky in that he's pretty damn hygenic and has never needed human intervention, and b) he'd eat me first.)
