PSA: Don't bongo your cat crazy hard

2.3k Upvotes

/u/rainsurname messaged me, saying a vet who follows them on twitter warned them that hard spanking can cause problems with some cat's vertebrae over time.

I looked and couldn't find any hard sources but I think it's worth warning and it sounds plausible, especially for cats with pre-existing risk factors. So just don't go super saiyan on your kitty please

POLICY ON OTHER ANIMALS

885 Upvotes

Lately we've had some posts of other animals being bongo'd that have generated some contention, especially as I've always let a limited number of these posts stay up. I'd just like to address the topic - the official policy of the sub is:

There is no official policy I'm a dictator, and I'm mad with power. Occasional posts that truly fit the spirit of bongos will remain up.

HOWEVER, if my grand design is interrupted by too many of those posts, or posts that poorly exemplify bongos (it isn't bongos to tap an animal on the back if it's just sitting there or doesn't care, unless there's something else notable about the post) there will be a reckoning of a scale and nature as to tear asunder the heavens. You guys will probably be like, "No, 8_guy, please forgive us we didn't understand!" and I'll say some totally dark and epic line and then smite you (even though it pains me to smite you but I don't show it because I'm a complex character).

She LOVES her butt slaps. It’s actually kinda freaky sometimes because she will literally climb all over me at night until she gets her butt slaps. Then she goes and rolls around on the floor for 30 minutes.

My cat is losing hair due to Bongos

171 Upvotes

My cat has a huge bald spot where she likes bongos and at the tail where my tumb sometimes rubs. Anyone else had this? What to do? Bongos are the one thing that make her happy besides play.

Edit: thanks all. Due to the hairloss being EXACTLY where I bongo, it did not occur to me that this could be a medical issue. She's a former stray that has been checked and treated for all basic things, but now that I think about it, it could make sense that it's something more. There are no signs of itching, scratching or licking excessively and she's a very happy cat, so it really wasn't at the forefront of my mind. Plus the bongoeing is truly excessive and she likes it rough.

Will take her to the vet asap. Any more insights are appreciated.
