Hineys for cats and dogs.
We now have the ability to genetically engineer biological improvements for many mundane things, like extending human lifespans, creating higher-yield crops, developing disease-resistant fruits and vegetables, correcting congenital pathological disorders, and so on and so forth.
But, I have yet to hear any mention of manipulating DNA sequences to engineer the most important thing of all—giving pets butt-cheeks.
Thanks to our bipedal locomotion, we humans evolved large gluteal muscles long ago, hence we have proper butt-cheeks. Other animals don’t have butt-cheeks, because they, rather shortsightedly, chose to remain quadrupeds. Butt But animals need butt-cheeks. They need them in order to present themselves properly in polite society. Heck, animals don’t even wear pants (not even cartoon animals), and they need them more than we do.
I’m confident wearing my bottomless chaps in public because I have a hiney with butt-cheeks. If I didn’t have butt-cheeks, I wouldn’t wear my bottomless chaps as often because some people may interpret that as being rude. Oh, look at him, he’s showing off his brown-eyed willy for all to see! I have scruples after all.
I have 6 cats. None of them wear pants and none of them have butt-cheeks. That’s just…wrong. When I’m eating dinner, there’s nothing that kills my appetite faster than watching 6 puckered starfish parade around me as I eat. Blech!
It’s enough to turn me off fried calamari rings forever.
And, when one of my cats sits on my pillow as I sleep (as they often do, just to spite me), what do you think is between the fabric of my pillow and the cat’s anus? That’s right—nothing! Rub-a-dub-dub. It gives me nightmares.
Indeed, we need to genetically engineer butt-cheeked hineys for our pets. When we do, I’ll let my cats wear bottomless chaps, just like me.
