But how?

Sounds great what you’re proposing - sounds also like magical thinking.

What’s a realistic way to achieve all the changes you’re suggesting? That’s the question we actually have to answer. Right now you’re just daydreaming which systemic changes would change the system for the best outcome.

And to add: Corporations won’t adjust without being forced politically or economically, and both of those options depend entirely on individual action - either at the voting booth or with our purchases.

None of this is realistic though. What you’re asking for is akin to an absolute miracle. Where would the political forces come from that do that? How could a majority be motivated to vote them into office? How could we get a whole capitalist machinery on board not to counteract and sabotage this?

They’re good ideas, but realistically speaking we have to start somewhere else.

It looks like the spongebob-health-inspector-nasty-krabby-patty equivalent of an avocado. Probably rotted, tried to sprout, died, and rotted again.

I have a cat just like yours with the same problem and can attest that it really does help. My fluffy guy really was no fan of the process, but he enjoyed summer much more afterwards. There really was an immediate change in his attitude, less apathic, more playful, cuddlier, and just happier overall. Will certainly do it again this year.

And it can mean building something with them and then talking about how they are. I work closely together with OTs who do exactly that.

And it already exists, called occupational therapy or ergotherapy.

It doesn’t seem to work on the German Wikipedia. Super weird decision to tie display settings to a language.
