Do you consider brachycephalism in cats as serious as in dogs? I'm in veterinary medicine but I don't encounter many brachy kitties and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Brachycephaly is a problem.

Schlueter et al (2009) categorized brachycephalic head shapes into four categories randing from mild to severe.

Moderate brachycephaly is where we begin to really see problems and profound or severe brachycephalic cats are going to have a real issue.

The British Shorthair (left) is a breed where mild brachycephaly is part of the standard compared to an Exotic Shorthair (right) where profound - severe brachycephaly is desireable.

On the left with have a British Shorthair, in the center an Exotic Shorthair and on the right a Persian.

One of the problems we see with brachycephalic breeds is stenotic nares, which are narrow nostrils. You can’t even make out the nares on the Persian shown above and, as one may expect, this affects how much air they move through them.

We can see similar obstructive effects in cats with nasopharyngeal polyps, masses or reconstruction due to scarring from chronic rhinosinusitis problems.

Due to their inability to breath normally through their nose these cats tend to be heat and exercise intolerant and can run into trouble more quickly during high stress events.

Stenotic nares can be surgically corrected but I don’t think this is as common in cats as it is in dogs, at least I haven’t encountered many cats who’ve undergone the procedure. I don’t know if it’s not as necessary, if cats don’t respond as well or if cat owners are less likely to seek treatment.

Or maybe it is as common and my lack of experience is the outlier.

Brachycephaly is also associated with malocclusion and dental disease, chronic epiphora, facial dermatitis related to the chronic tearing and ocular issues such as conreal sequestrum or entropion related to the protruding eye structure.

I know globe proptopsis is a problem in some brachycephalic dog breeds like pugs but I haven’t heard of this specifically happening in brachycephalic cat breeds.

Exotics and Persians are obviously the worst when it comes to brachycephaly in cats but the Bombay and (American) Burmese are also offenders.

There are other breeds which don’t call for a brachycephalic head shape (or even default it) or call for only a mild version but certain breeders are selecting for extreme typeing anyways because even though their cats might not win any shows they can sell them as designer variants for more.

On the left we have a Sphynx and in the right we have a Devon Rex both with an extreme head type contradictory to the breed standard.

So yes, unfortunately the brachycephalic head type is a problem in cats. Some try to argue that brachycephalic animals often live long lives which means the abnormal structure isn’t a problem… but longevity is only one measure of a breeds ethical soundness, quality of life and history are also important in my opinon.

How has the start of new term been treating you? Still having ChatGPT issues?

Well, that's ongoing as it moves into investigation, but now we have brand new fun and games because one of the students has - well.

One of the first year modules is an academic skills module to teach them how to write reports, reference, research, avoid plagiarism, do basic stats, etc. They were set the task of making a video log summing up all they've learned this year, which they will then present tomorrow.

NOW

We have all heard, have we not, the stories of students who forgot to remove their notes to themselves before submission? Leaving in things like "Write some bullshit here", or naming the file "I fucking hate this assignment"? Things that were supposed to be for their eyes only, and to never reach the lecturer?

One student included a photo montage in her video.

And one of the images is a head shot of her, Snapchat filter on, with the caption,

"Uni is literally fucking me in all holes"

I AM LAUGHING. I AM LAUGHING HARD. THE MODULE LECTURER, HOWEVER, IS VERY MUCH NOT LAUGHING.

I'm gonna be so real the new video about the total solar eclipse made me cry. Red, you have such an incredible way of painting word pictures and making something sound like real magic. The footage of the eclipse and the video essay breakdown after actually got me tearing up. Seriously, your skills for storytelling are unmatched.

I'm glad it made literally any sense tbh, for posterity here's both diamond rings

this is a genuine question, not a retort: i know the original post is not yours, but i would genuinely like to hear your thoughts on this. if a call out is not a good medium for "dealing with genuinely dangerous people" (i dislike the use of words here but ill concede on it in the name of good faith), what would be our other options when it comes to protecting people from harm in the online space? i would agree, the call out format is persecutorial and often reaches wider spheres than originally intended to, but i think comparing it to the.. judicial prison system is kind of a baby mentality, isnt it? individual tumblr users dont have institutionalized judicial power. the loss of power caused by tumblr call outs (in most cases) is just a loss of online influence. what would be the option for protecting people from harm if not removing influence from "genuinely dangerous people"?

its baby mentality to think you need online vigilantes and mobs of any sort to protect people, because it doesnt work. it only further isolates weird people who are already outcasts and lacking in communities, and gets thousands of random people to stalk a strange, lonely, and suicidal person while urging them to kill themselves or costing them jobs and places to live and oppurtunities for survival, you think this shit is "baby mentality" because youve never been a victim of facism.

i know from experience: predators are almost always charismatic and or integrated into community, theyre usually good at maintaining appearance and avoid being a target, they dont lose any significant social popularity or platform when there is a cancel campaign against them. they dont lose access to society, mobs only hurt the isolated minorities.

you can protect people by arming them with knowledge on how to navigate interactions and relationships, and being there for your friends when they need support or community. you can protect people by ceasing to believe that large scale networks of police or vigilante behavior do anything but benifit predators / facism.

go pick up & read a book about prison abolition, i dont have well put together answers for you, im just a weird mentally ill tranny who sees what happens to people on the fringes of society.

I've been replaying M's route and I've to say it's my fave. This time I managed to get high relationship with Bobby (who's obviously not over the MC) and it made me think.

How would M react if Bobby told them something along the lines of "you might be sleeping with MC right now, but I know what's it like to be loved by them"

What would post book 3 M think about that? Would it even bother them? And what about the other ROs?

Hmm, good question!

I’m not sure it’s something that would have occurred to M to think of! But after Bobby would have brought it up, M would immediate shrug it off.

It’s not until later when it would wiggle and worm at them, and they’d be confused just why that statement is bothering them so much, hehe! :D

It definitely would be a thought that lingered for M at this point in the romance.

Thank you so much for the ask! :)
