You may have said "all of the above," but you started with "Jesus fucking christ," and said that there are people "moaning" about the danger to the ocean. And let's be clear, there are so far no comments about ocean acidification on this post—meaning you can only be referring to the reasonable measured caution that's expressed in the article. You followed that with "Let's go!"

Taken all together, you're projecting a very "whole hog" picture here.

Actually, you need to be very careful with this. Cat scratch fever is a real phenomenon. Their claws have been in their litter box.

And any animal bite (including human) that isn't super shallow should be treated be medical professionals. You can get a very serious infection shockingly quickly from a deep puncture wound. It's like a dental abscess; it's one of those things you should not fuck around with.

And yet, I have never picked one up off the ground and cuddled it on my lap, or allowed one to sleep on top of me. The time a spider walked across me in bed, I found myself standing next to my bed with the lights on faster than I would have thought I could move.
