Pretty kitty

My father had a pet skunk when he was young. He said it was like a cross between a cat and a dog somewhat. Very smart and playful. His wasn’t de scented but you can get the scent glands removed. It’s not good if they get loose, and depending on your beliefs you may think it cruel- but it does make having them as pets easier. Dad said it really wasn’t a problem. They only spray when upset. Once they’re older and more socialized they generally don’t. It may be an issue if you have other pets or a noisy/busy/chaotic home. He lived in the rural as rural gets and found it with its dead mommnot far away and nursed it.

I would get mine de-stinked

Tbh as much as I love animals and would want to do “right” I likely would too.
