My big, big boy Dusty's fur looks like gills when I do this and I love it.

He's not quite as interested as I am, but that's okay

Cats are like 80% loose skin

[–] FuglyDuck 21 points 3 months ago

Cats and many other animals will have loose skin for defensive reasons.

Honebadgers can almost completely turn around even if you have a firm hold on it, making it hard to pin down.

It also provides protection from getting clawed.
