My spouse claims (statistically correctly) that not everyone has seen this meme, and given how often I repeat it to myself (out of order, admittedly), I am here to help. This is from a veterinary training guide.
@coral I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before, thank you!
@cwinters @coral use cats, don’t fight drugr
@cwinters @coral same! I needed this!! Thank you! Lol
@coral: But winning a fight that they were forced into is a cat's code of ethics!
@coral This is good advice for so much of daily life, even for people not owned by cats!
@coral
Wondering which drug will help me become fast enough to be able to fight a cat... 😁😂🤣
@gubi
@coral I once read a description of a cat in a fight as "imagine a snake with four razor-ended legs".

@Illuminatus

I heard that cats are simply snakes with a highly evolved mouth.

@coral

@coral guide to life right there
@coral
I have not seen this before and I feel that, whilst I agree with points 1 and 2, it's unclear from point 3 if I should be using drugs on myself or the cat (edit: or both). This is how disasters happen and may also explain the somewhat laid back attitude of the vet when I took my friends pug in for a health check. Pug was fine btw.

@coral

"Don't Fight a Cat" is definitely one of my fave early Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, too.

("Fight Like a Brave" is what I'm referring to, just in case it's not also seared into your memory.)

@coral Are the drugs for you or the cat?
@coral thems rules to live by.
All i can think of is "the glove" for handling feral cats because even a kitten has the power to bite through a fingernail. More often than not pet cats are holding back even when they mangle you.

@coral It's still necessary to get flea treatment onto my beloved Caspar, and get him into a cat box so he can visit the vet on occasion. Stealth, speed, and firm, fearless, confident and kind handling avoids any harm to either of us.

Drugs are what the vet may give the cat, and optionally a glass of home made wine for me after and not before the job is done.

@coral seems like similar advice to "Never Fight a Man With a Perm" by IDLES.
@coral out of curiosity is it in reverse order when you repeat it to yourself ?
@coral Seems more of a code for right living than a mere meme.
@coral i had not Seen it. Thanks you to your wife .
@coral I hadn't seen this meme before, so thank you for posting it!
My oldest cat gets put in a bag every time they need a blood sample, for everyone else's protection. 😅
@coral once again I’m reminded why I’m here 😂
@coral @jesse Cats: sharp on 5 out of 6 ends. (Be careful - that last one is dangerous too)
@coral I didn't read the "This if from a veterinary training guide" and did not grasp the context at all and thought the suggestion was to use drugs to empower yourself, so I was cackling at the idea.
@coral Wait so Don't use your brain or Do drugs? Neither of these are messages I'd want to push. AND WHY CAN'T WE THE CAT??
