If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

If I could un-invent anything, it would be pet clothing. Pet fashion may be cute, but it’s an unnecessary waste of money. It’s superfluous. Most dogs and cats come complete with their own stunning or dapper outfits – their fur/hair. Covering that fur can lead to problems with hygiene or health: body temperature deregulation, skin issues, or fur matting to name a few. Wearing clothes may also restrict a pet’s natural movement, altering their body language, which could cause discomfort, stress, and possibly atypical behaviour.

I prefer my pets as nature created them: unclothed and uninhibited.
