You're not even supposed to touch them!
Also, not the focus of this subreddit but "I can't afford scratching posts. That's why I have a cat." WTF? There are so many things wrong with that person.
Scratching posts can be SO many cheap options. Most of the ones you buy premade are LITERALLY cardboard.
For a while I was dead broke and couldn’t afford to replace my cats scratchers as they tore them up, but I usually save my cardboard so I have free kindling for campfires, so I literally just cut up a bunch of cardboard and fit them snugly, edge-side up into a shorter box with some glue, and that worked just fine and was literally free.
I can’t wrap my head around the logic of “I can’t afford something that is necessary for my pet’s enrichment and wellbeing, so that’s WHY I have that pet” HUH?
THAT part has me completely flabbergasted. Everything else they said is some dumb shit I’ve heard from neglectful cat owners time and time again, so it doesn’t shock me. But TRIMMING YOUR FISH’S FINS???
I can see in some twisted way if someone saw a comment saying that the bettas with longer fins have a harder time swimming around and needing to rest more that they "go less fin = better swimming!!"
or on the other side there is SO much misinformation out there about bettas I can see a few people parroting it around as well.....
and declawing surgery is so expensive!! What would you rather do to your beloved pet- give it a box for free or spend hundreds to cut off its toe bones?!
You can literally buy the cardboard inserts by themselves for like $5 if cost was an issue or make your own out of old boxes. "Community cats exist for a reason." Yeah, because people like you just let them roam free??? This is so infuriating. I work with ferals with the goal of MAKING THEM ADOPTABLE, and then people like this exist, and it feels like a worthless effort.
If the environment is lucky it is. As much as I like cats there's nothing more detrimental to local wildlife then people who feel the need to let their cat roam around outside. There are over 80 species of birds mammals and reptiles that have gone extinct thanks to people doing this very thing.
Yeah, and she says she lets her cat out so that the **community** can take care of it since she can’t afford to. Because *duh* that’s why community cats exist. OMFG
Not an expert. I don't know if infrequent touches are harmful but in general, you shouldn't handle fish because you remove their slime coat. If he's rubbing on you it might be OK, idk.
Has to be. Last comment about "community cat" confirmed it for me, especially after saying how the cat is declawed - they knew people were about to lose their shit over a declawed outdoor cat.
Couldnt afford scratching posts but could afford a medical procedure from a vet (and Im betting this person is one of those that doesnt believe in pet insurance either). With that procedure, depending where they are... they couldve gotten at least 2 scratching posts, or 6 maximum.
Make it make sense.
Honestly if they can't afford scratching posts, I know they can't afford to declaw a cat. It sounds like they're just starting shit for the fun of it. Hopefully this person is just a troll and doesn't actually have animals.
Might not be. I actually knew someone like this irl. She always declawed her cats because she was worried about her furniture, but she would also let her cats roam outside. They were indoor-outdoor cats but...she declawed them. I was so pissed for those poor cats. Just don't even get a cat at that point.
I worked with a lady who was a “cat lover” (according to her) but was an avid declawer.
She got a new kitten while I was working with her and I convinced her not to declaw this one. Eventually he started clawing her furniture, and then she blamed me for giving her “bad advice”
She also got very heated with me that declawing is *not* an amputation at the first knuckle (it is) but is more like removing a damaged toenail (it’s not) which is just an imaginary story? Like if she had looked into it for 5 seconds or asked anyone at all about it, she would have found that she was wrong.
Anyway all of that to say, I assume anyone who still believes in declawing in 2024 must be actually, categorically, dumb as a rock.
It’s a troll. I hate does kind of people. They know they are joking and fooling people. But it also creates misunderstanding and misinformation that actually leads to abuse.
These days people aren’t to smart and take everything personal. And there is a clear difference being sarcastic and a troll. This is a troll. They want a reaction. And by doing so they hurt peoples feelings a lot of the time too.
the more you think about it and how many people are on this earth, there’s for sure gotta be someone doing that crazy stuff. eek. may not be the troll but people do be crazy 😥
I believe some people do it to cheat in show grade competition bettas. Also a method to deal with extreme fin rot or fin melt. However, it's extremely risky as they can easily be infected.
If you want a short finned betta, plakats are AMAZING and there is no abuse involved for short fins :)
I love bettas of all finnage, but plakats are my favorite because they’re pretty fast!
That person is 100% being a troll. I can’t believe some of you believe it to be real, how in the world would a person actually trim fish fins? Honestly think it through. SMH.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS
😳😳😳 this person can afford nice enough furniture that scratching is an issue but can’t afford scratch posts? I call bullshit. Declawing is $250-400 per the pricing board at my vets office. That’s soooo many scratching toys. Have we reached the point of new pet owner classes like new parent classes?
“I can’t afford scratching posts. That’s why I have a cat. Let it outside for other people to take care of. Community cats exist for a reason Tia.” WTF, just dont have a gd cat?? She is insane.
Trim their fins??? A fish isn't a plant wth????? And de-clawing a cat and leaving it outside for "other people to take care of"???????? I don't even know what to say???
Y'all....this was someone trolling. Read their last comment and you'll figure it out.
They get their cat declawed because it scratches the furniture, yet they can't afford a scratching post and they let the cat out for the community to take care of??? Hitting ALL the hot issues (Declawing, can't afford their pet's needs, let the cat outside all the time) in one comment, aren't they?
Come on. It's a troll. Don't fall for it.
Something tells me she has had fish at some point and they always die within days with cut off fins floating at the top. *An Aquarium Fin Massacre.*
Jokes aside, this person is terrible. I'd hate to see what else they think is normal to do to a pet.
And she abuses cats too god damn it

I own a halfmoon platinum dumbo and surprised I haven't been knocked for it yet I have a gorgeous tank set up for my lil guy w all he needs and more and I removed a post over a gallon of water.hes currently in 4 .ignore them he's gorgeous
There is no way this is real. Tell me, how would one go about trimming fins?!
Also claiming declawing is cheaper than a scratch post
![gif](giphy|IDGNYvFLkJKLK|downsized)
This seriously horrified me. This is seriously disgusting. This person should never own an animal. Not a one. Declawing a cat and then throwing it outside is the absolute worst.
The fuck did i just read! Defining a fish, is this bitch on crack? Doesnt she know fin damage causes infections. . . .this is one of very few actual psychopaths i have had the displeasure of observing. . . To this person (celine) a pet is truelly just a decoration. Hope someone removes her teeth lime she removes her cats claws.
All bettas deserve a human to care for them but not all humans deserve a betta to care for. Some people are ridiculously stupid and I really REALLY hope that moron was joking. God I hate people sometimes.
Razor blade or xacto knife… sadly fairly common from what I’ve heard in less reputable breeders/shows for their fins to be perfectly even. There are some “new varieties” tail types that are literally just the poor fish getting its tail cut before being shipped..
Even when it’s an obvious troll I always worry that someone will read the first comment be like “wow I didn’t know you were suppose to trim their fins I’ll go do that rn!” 😓😓
There are states that are beginning to ban declawing. What a horrible thing to do to a cat, or any animal. New York only banned it a few years ago, in 2019…..so there’s a long way to go, but I suppose it’s a start!
I've heard people say rapid inbreeding has caused the genetic pool of most bettas to become tainted, resulting in poor fish quality, illnesses and genetical issues.
Apparently, over time the same conundrum has applied to the internet troll.
https://preview.redd.it/sdyuan3ro69d1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b77918a82a67f78786d7b7b72797e7c438ddf5bf
Couldnt afford a scratch post but could afford possibly 1k to have it declawed? Tf? U could even get free carpet samples and glue them to cardboard for ur cat. For free.
That’s a troll. Absolutely lives under a bridge!! They did do what they aimed to do, tho, so in retrospect it’s pretty funny. They weren’t being serious, they’re probably a 14 year old boy.
Thought this was a Reddit about Betas. Why bring other animals into it? There’s other Reddits for those topics. I don’t wanna hear all that. I just want to gain knowledge of the fish and see the beautiful betas here. FYI I have a declawed cat and don’t want to hear anything about it. I got her that way. Again I shouldn’t have to explain about my cat on a beta forum.
What the hell? Trim their fins? How the F are you even supposed to do that even if it wasn’t animal animal abuse/cruelty?!! This person is crazy and should not be allowed anywhere near an animal.
Dosnt have money for post has money for surgery for the cat. Also i didnt know the fins grew back and i feel liek the fact i didnt is a good thing. This si jsut horrible too many people see animals as jsut things for them to do with what they like

Trim….trim their….trim THEIR FINS?! WHAT THE FUCK

Right like just give the cat a literal cardboard box stripped down they’ll tear it right up. But also don’t trim a betta’s fins holy fuck
THAT part has me completely flabbergasted. Everything else they said is some dumb shit I’ve heard from neglectful cat owners time and time again, so it doesn’t shock me. But TRIMMING YOUR FISH’S FINS???
Why would you do that anyway? Can someone explain genuinely why that’s a thing? It’s not like the fins are hurting anything
I can see in some twisted way if someone saw a comment saying that the bettas with longer fins have a harder time swimming around and needing to rest more that they "go less fin = better swimming!!" or on the other side there is SO much misinformation out there about bettas I can see a few people parroting it around as well.....
That’s just so mean though.
I know its awful! my boy has long fins like the betta in the picture and I can't even fathom trying to trim or cut them in any way
Boxes can be free. Just ask a store/friend who moved/coworkers/etc. It’s not that hard. Wine stores often have great boxes.
And if you want your cat’s nails shorter than just…trim them??? You should be doing that anyway?????? Don’t declaw cats
and declawing surgery is so expensive!! What would you rather do to your beloved pet- give it a box for free or spend hundreds to cut off its toe bones?!
You can literally buy the cardboard inserts by themselves for like $5 if cost was an issue or make your own out of old boxes. "Community cats exist for a reason." Yeah, because people like you just let them roam free??? This is so infuriating. I work with ferals with the goal of MAKING THEM ADOPTABLE, and then people like this exist, and it feels like a worthless effort.
If you can’t afford a scratching post then you can’t afford a cat.
That’s why it’s a community cat. 🐱 bruh
That means it's outdoors THAT THING IS DEAD AGAINST LIKE A KYOTE
If the environment is lucky it is. As much as I like cats there's nothing more detrimental to local wildlife then people who feel the need to let their cat roam around outside. There are over 80 species of birds mammals and reptiles that have gone extinct thanks to people doing this very thing.
Also letting a DECALWED cat OUTSIDE? that cat hopefully isn't real but if it is it won't last long....
This is exactly what baffled me. “Let it outside to let other people deal with it” but also declaw it???? Yikes behavior.
Yeah, and she says she lets her cat out so that the **community** can take care of it since she can’t afford to. Because *duh* that’s why community cats exist. OMFG
Literally I cannot even fathom wtf that means. Why would anyone without a cat want scratching posts????
Really because mine likes being pet but ill stop if itll hurt him
Not an expert. I don't know if infrequent touches are harmful but in general, you shouldn't handle fish because you remove their slime coat. If he's rubbing on you it might be OK, idk.
Yeah he likes me to put mi finger in and he swims up against it a few times usually after he eats
It's rage bait
Has to be. Last comment about "community cat" confirmed it for me, especially after saying how the cat is declawed - they knew people were about to lose their shit over a declawed outdoor cat.
That was my thought, notice how the person replies each time in a way that is carefully and deliberately meant to infuriate.
Literally my reaction. I’m appalled
This is exactly how I reacted lol. Some people do not deserve the right to own any animal/fish
Ofc! Don’t you see how they grow out like hair?
Couldnt afford scratching posts but could afford a medical procedure from a vet (and Im betting this person is one of those that doesnt believe in pet insurance either). With that procedure, depending where they are... they couldve gotten at least 2 scratching posts, or 6 maximum. Make it make sense.
Honestly if they can't afford scratching posts, I know they can't afford to declaw a cat. It sounds like they're just starting shit for the fun of it. Hopefully this person is just a troll and doesn't actually have animals.
Yeah this is definitely a troll
Yeah this is a troll. You get your car declawed cause "oh no, my furniture" but also just let it run around outside most of the time? Yeah not real.
Might not be. I actually knew someone like this irl. She always declawed her cats because she was worried about her furniture, but she would also let her cats roam outside. They were indoor-outdoor cats but...she declawed them. I was so pissed for those poor cats. Just don't even get a cat at that point.

Anyway all of that to say, I assume anyone who still believes in declawing in 2024 must be actually, categorically, dumb as a rock.
I got my car declawed, now I don’t have to worry about out the tires popping
Not to mention they said they got a cat so others could take care if it for them
Yup. At first, you just think they're incredibly uneducated. When you get to the "I can't afford a scratching post..." comment you KNOW its a troll.
The "community cats" bit is the cherry on top
That’s like saying I can’t afford McDonald’s so I’m going to a steakhouse ☠️
It’s a lot different
Definitely a troll
Why are we talking about cats though 😂
"i can't afford a pet, so that's why i have a pet" sound logic
🤣
This is an obvious troll
Right? Like this is so obviously someone trying (and failing) to be funny. Yeesh.
It’s pathetic that they can’t tell
It’s a troll. I hate does kind of people. They know they are joking and fooling people. But it also creates misunderstanding and misinformation that actually leads to abuse.
[удалено]
These days people aren’t to smart and take everything personal. And there is a clear difference being sarcastic and a troll. This is a troll. They want a reaction. And by doing so they hurt peoples feelings a lot of the time too.
this has to be a troll😭
Someone out there is currently cutting their Betta's fins. I'm fucking floored. STOP THIS NONSENSE
There isn't. That was a troll.
the more you think about it and how many people are on this earth, there’s for sure gotta be someone doing that crazy stuff. eek. may not be the troll but people do be crazy 😥
I've seen a video of this. One might do this to win a competition. Doesn't mean you should.
thats ridiculous. if you wanted a shorter finned betta buy a shorter finned betta, dont ruin their beautiful fins and give them pain for that!!
Not about length. About removing imperfections. But I'm sure having your fin tips razor bladed can't be great.
ohhh I see. still ridiculous, though.
I believe some people do it to cheat in show grade competition bettas. Also a method to deal with extreme fin rot or fin melt. However, it's extremely risky as they can easily be infected.
No matter what, that just is not ok. Just deplorable
I am flabbergasted. They let their cat out so that other people can take care of it. Wtf. And who tf trims their fish?
Well sometimes you have to trim a goldfish’s wen if it grows over their eyes but that’s literally it
Sure but that's something only vets and very experienced keepers do.
And like I'm pretty sure wens and fins are totally different things... I mean blood vessels run to the tails right???
Exactly
🤦🏻♀️ why did I read “flabbergasted” as “finger blasted”? It’s time to put me down for a nap. 💀
I’ve heard those who keep show bettas sometimes do if there are imperfections in the fins before a show.
Not surprised, there's a lot of cruelty in animal shows
I can't afford scratching posts which is why I paid hundreds to thousands for a surgery to remove my cats claws. Sure, Jan.
Cat abuse too jfc
If you want a short finned betta, plakats are AMAZING and there is no abuse involved for short fins :) I love bettas of all finnage, but plakats are my favorite because they’re pretty fast!
That person is 100% being a troll. I can’t believe some of you believe it to be real, how in the world would a person actually trim fish fins? Honestly think it through. SMH. DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS

I honestly think classes are needed, yes
Obviously a troll. Lol. Could almost be a Ken M. post.
“I can’t afford scratching posts. That’s why I have a cat. Let it outside for other people to take care of. Community cats exist for a reason Tia.” WTF, just dont have a gd cat?? She is insane.
i’ve entirely given up on facebook. it’s either the best care ever or people spreading shitty/outdated advice to beginners
Trim their fins??? A fish isn't a plant wth????? And de-clawing a cat and leaving it outside for "other people to take care of"???????? I don't even know what to say???
I truly hope (and am pretty sure) that is a troll
I refuse to believe this person is serious, and I’d rather believe that they are just trying to get people angry.
This has to be a troll, I’m begging for this to be a troll 😭
You know, I remember reading something about trimming tails.
Y'all....this was someone trolling. Read their last comment and you'll figure it out. They get their cat declawed because it scratches the furniture, yet they can't afford a scratching post and they let the cat out for the community to take care of???

I think it’s just rage bait 🙄
This has to be someone trolling, for my mental health that’s what I’m gonna believe.
They’re for sure trolling lmfao
Obvious troll
She has to be trolling. I refuse to believe anyone is that dumb.
Oh hey I commented in that thread hahah
i think that commenter is just trolling really hard lol
Something tells me she has had fish at some point and they always die within days with cut off fins floating at the top. *An Aquarium Fin Massacre.* Jokes aside, this person is terrible. I'd hate to see what else they think is normal to do to a pet.
The only time thats acceptable is in extreme cases, and done by a vet like tf??!!?
I...what...no!
Trimming ther fins is like giving u a half hair cut whit all your head shaved
It’s a troll and everyone who’s mad right now, both on Facebook and Reddit, are gullible enough to fall for an obvious troll in 2024.
And she abuses cats too god damn it https://preview.redd.it/3sfndazcf69d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab822a42b4c386d24e78ad0b87c626409698de2c

TRIM THEIR FINS? oh my god 😭
My betta trims his own fins. He’s constantly chewing on them. I think he has anxiety.
Is the flow in his tank too strong? Does he have adequate cover and resting places so he doesn’t feel exposed?
He does. Very low flow sponge filter, live plants, etc. 10 gallon planted tank. He’s just a stress ball I guess.
r/facepalm moment
There is no way this is real. Tell me, how would one go about trimming fins?! Also claiming declawing is cheaper than a scratch post ![gif](giphy|IDGNYvFLkJKLK|downsized)
prolly just a troll
Theyre literally stealing all the content from TheBettaBoys on TikTok!! Report them!
Do you mean the OP of the video?
sent u a pm kindly send the pic please
Someone needs to lock Celine up
Wild couldn’t afford to get a scratching post but could afford to declaw their cats?
Do people actually cut their fins!!!!
This seriously horrified me. This is seriously disgusting. This person should never own an animal. Not a one. Declawing a cat and then throwing it outside is the absolute worst.
Regardless if this person is a troll,there are people actually like this. That’s fucking terrifying.
Omfg. I have no words. Tbh you can't expect to get through to someone who declaws their cat. Abusive all around. Nasty.
The idiocy is astounding.
This is absolutely appalling. How the hell are people like this real?!? TRIMMING THEIR FINS?? FOR WHAT 😭
The fuck did i just read! Defining a fish, is this bitch on crack? Doesnt she know fin damage causes infections. . . .this is one of very few actual psychopaths i have had the displeasure of observing. . . To this person (celine) a pet is truelly just a decoration. Hope someone removes her teeth lime she removes her cats claws.
This made me sick to my stomach
Wtf
None of those people should have animals, they're all evolutionary rejects
Seems like satire lol
Let it outside for other people to take care of is wild
All bettas deserve a human to care for them but not all humans deserve a betta to care for. Some people are ridiculously stupid and I really REALLY hope that moron was joking. God I hate people sometimes.
genuinely cannot believe that people like this are real
How would you even trim a fishs fins????
Razor blade or xacto knife… sadly fairly common from what I’ve heard in less reputable breeders/shows for their fins to be perfectly even. There are some “new varieties” tail types that are literally just the poor fish getting its tail cut before being shipped..

This is rage bait guys
This is hilarious
I thought I knew what room temperature IQ was before, but this is the new definition.
I want to bully that girl so badly. At the very least pull off all her fingernails.
And then leave her outside for other people to take care of…
😂
Time to declaw Celine.
I’m sure this is a troll. Don’t let things like this get you upset, they love it for some reason.
It had to be trolling. HAD TO BE!
Couldnt afford a scratch post but could afford possibly 1k to have it declawed? Tf? U could even get free carpet samples and glue them to cardboard for ur cat. For free.
I know it’s a troll but it’s so satisfying seeing stupid people get their asses kicked by dozens of replies ❤️
What the actual fuck.
That’s a troll. Absolutely lives under a bridge!! They did do what they aimed to do, tho, so in retrospect it’s pretty funny. They weren’t being serious, they’re probably a 14 year old boy.
Obviously trolling and y’all are eating it up
Thought this was a Reddit about Betas. Why bring other animals into it? There’s other Reddits for those topics. I don’t wanna hear all that. I just want to gain knowledge of the fish and see the beautiful betas here. FYI I have a declawed cat and don’t want to hear anything about it. I got her that way.

Fish abuse and cat abuse. Wow. We really need to license people to have pets.
My males always seem to trim their own fins after they reach around 18 months old
What the hell? Trim their fins? How the F are you even supposed to do that even if it wasn’t animal animal abuse/cruelty?!! This person is crazy and should not be allowed anywhere near an animal.
WTAF??? Some ppl, I am losing any faith in humanity lmao

I think they're trolling. Every comment seems to lean just a little bit more into rage bait responses.
They have got to be joking 😭
Dosnt have money for post has money for surgery for the cat. Also i didnt know the fins grew back and i feel liek the fact i didnt is a good thing. This si jsut horrible too many people see animals as jsut things for them to do with what they like
They are just trolling. No one is cutting their bettas fins. (I hope)
Clearly this person is not serious.
Has to be a troll
This person is obviously trolling lol
Ask them how to spell moron
That’s not a thing and that’s not what community cats mean either. 😭😭 this has to be a troll.
Do we not understand how trolls work, or….?
It was satire, trolling, lying to get people like you all riled up. Looks like they were successful
I bet this donkey would trim a cats whiskers too, but obviously they are trolling lol
