    That’s pretty terrifying. You can see the somewhat muted apprehension on his face mixed with a hope that he will be out of it soon.

    Of course, I’m putting human emotions onto an animal, but that’s just because I can easily see myself in such a situation where I’m politely asked to step into a room and face a wall for a brief moment…

        Yea my brain definitely forgot what anesthetize meant for like 3-4 seconds when I first opened the picture and it made me sad… Then I was like wait no that’s different. Then I was like but yea you could probably use this for the other thing too. Then I remembered the video youtube recommended to me about some guy that built his own gas chamber for cats out of a cooler and got sad again.

        Oh god! I genuinely did make that mistake. I was wondering why this morbid piece was being treated so lightly haha

      Animals experience the same emotions as we do.

      It’s just their understanding of the situation that might be lacking.

        My second paragraph was mostly just to excuse myself from mapping human emotions onto animal facial expressions.

        He genuinely might be having the time of his life but we can’t read him properly.
