It’s not a cat. It’s a Tribble. With a tail. ;)

I’m sorry but there definitely needs to be a head - Who TF wants a headless animal?! A weirdo is who! So damn weird. No one said it needs to be animatronic, just a simple plush/stuffed toy type head would do! Honestly don’t even know why the tail needs to be animatronic, more like demonatronic, creepily stuttering…

Right? What design genius was like we’ll make a cat....with no head! People will LOVE it!

That is what I was thinking. If the Go-Go dog thing has a head and it just came from the toy store, not a fancy Japanese robotic company, I am sure they are able to put a head on this thing.

a pet you don’t have to love

I was thinking it would be great if there was a Roomba underneath, so it could at least make itself useful.

Yes, my grandma has dementia and her baby dolls soothe her a lot. However please, for the love of god. Just put heads on the cat things lol. So disturbing as is...

My avatar is my pibble, Wilson. He was likely a bait dog that was discarded, and, of the 8 dogs that I have, and he is by FAR the sweetest and most well-behaved one. I want to find these “artists” and beat them to death with a brick.

I just got my first ever pup who’s a pit. She’s my heart and soul. This “art” enrages me and makes me so sad. Pitbulls are natural lovers and super friendly. Only an asshole would make them aggressive and fight.

your dog child is beautiful! the statements the artists are making about the nature of pitbulls show a lack of experience with actual pits. the artists should put themselves in place of those poor dogs, this is exploitation and hack art.

The irony is if you want “extreme” or “upsetting,” then you don’t have to go far to get it because our world is already messed up. There’s no need to manufacture anything.

This horrifies me, as a dog lover & pit bull mom. I find the maltreatment this breed suffers heartbreaking. Posting a pic of pup and me just because.

Let’s stop referring to them as artists. There is no art being created.

I share Doris Day’s opinion...

Also if you want to start a conversation about systems of power and control how about you paint a depiction of two dogs fighting. Oh - I guess that would require actual talent.

This is fucking insane. This isn’t art. This is cruel. The “artists’” comments really put it over the edge. There is no reason the Guggenheim should endorse this especially after the comments. Shouldn’t have before either, obviously.

They took advantage of the tenacity of the dogs and put them into a highly stressful situation and are calling it, “art.”

This bullshit is just a more pretentious form of edgelording. I know the art world has gone to hell in a handbasket when success in deliberately provoking people to outrage and anger is considered “mission accomplished”.

This kind of shit is exactly why I left the art world. I saw a vegan I graduated college with (I know she’s vegan because she never shut up about it) defending this because it’s only through “extreme art” that we become “disgusted with ourselves.”

Minor?? Are you joking? This is the NYT. They have fact-checkers out the ass. Please stop talking.
