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.

Shaking it for a new fur suit.

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

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 35 points 1 year ago

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

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 21 points 1 year 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 14 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Remarkably racoon shaped actually.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I hate it!

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

That is a MOSTLY shaved raccoon.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks just like a naked old man's bottom.

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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 1 year 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.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

I know googly eyes are not funny anymore…

What?! That’s not allowed

[–] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

But....why?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nope, too smooth, way too smooth.

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

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] Acklavidian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looks more like a white pet onesie.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

RFK Jr appears from the mist

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why in the fuck would you ever do this?

Poor raccoon.

[–] NaibofTabr 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

I'm calling the police.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Good shave.

[–] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ExtraordinaryJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago
[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Looks more like hes wearing a suit

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 1 year ago

What a *chonker!
