Ever seen a partially shaved raccoon? Now you have!

Looks like he's wearing nothing at all

nothing at all

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

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.

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

Remarkably racoon shaped actually.

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

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

Once I saw a raccoon poop and I was like "no way raccoons poop that big" but this does tell another story.

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.

Thanks, I hate it!

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

Looks just like a naked old man's bottom.

I'd imagine an old man bottom to be more hairy and wrinkly though.
- Am an old man, can verify that's the case.

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

Why in the fuck would you ever do this?

Poor raccoon.

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.
- Crud in its fur wouldn't require a freaking straight-edge razor shave with hot towels and hand fluffed shave cream like this. And if it was pests they wouldn't shave, and if they did, they would have shaved the tail and face as much as possible as well.
  
  I'm sure this was for a valid reason, I just don't think it was one of those reasons.

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

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.
It's just a little thing called style, perhaps you've heard of it?
Looks more like a white pet onesie.
