That’s a cold butthole.
And here I thought it was almost at boiling point!
Hmm. Boiling cat butthole. I hate it.
if its a hellcat.
It does seem so. Cats' internal temp is a bit warmer than ours - like 101 or 102F. Lots of blood vessels near the surface in a butthole, so it's warmer than most other areas, though would expect it to be slightly cooler than internal. Not 8 degrees cooler though.
101 or 102
38°
Human external skin temp is around 32°C on the hands, so i'd say 34,6°C for the cats butthole sounds about right
You mean, you can warm up your finger in the cat’s butthole?
only by 2 degrees, i don't think it's worth the blood loss
Thermal Exhaust Port
That’s the cat’s weak spot, you can only attack it during certain moments in the boss fight
That's because it only shows its butt after you've earned its trust. Its a very long boss fight.
The final boss has decided to nap on my lap. Now would be a great time to reach for the sword but I'm incapable of moving. I'm losing this battle, help!
This is what science is for.
We choose to scan the cat's butthole not because it is easy, but because it is hilarious.
"How did we ever survive without this?"
Butt thermometers
"i got you a thermal camera"
cool
"what have you checked with it"
oh you know things
"what kind of things?"
you know, walls, pets, the grill. normal stuff. ...why?
Hell yeah Tom Cardy

Husband now has fart-o-vision, expect some chores to not get done.
Prepare for your husband to film his own ass a good bit.
... either he's gonna be that flexible, or he's going to giggle for half a day and not tell you the results of 'can a thermal camera pointed at a mirror see a fart?'
... my money is on 'not really'.
I think Tool wrote a song about that.

Reverse dragon: fire comes out of its butt
Certainly an improvement over the usual way of telling its temperature.
Emmmm, buttskin hotter than pussy fur
Wait, thermal cameras have become reasonably priced gifts? Or is this some rich people shit
You can get a decent one for about 250 euros like the Infiray P2 Pro.
So its rich people shit
I would call that enthusiast level rather than rich person. It's not more than a decent drone or camera or many other technology hobbies. Less than half the price of a ps5 or meta quest 3.
Sure, you could argue it probably has less function and replay value than those. But it's still not ludicrously expensive if you REALLY want it.
Do you think the husband REALLY wanted it and that's why he waited for his wife to gift it to him?

It was in the 1000s a few years ago. That was "professional level", not "rich people shit", because it can be a useful investment.
Now, it's "enthusiast level; affordable enough for interested people to play around with it, and cheap enough that you can let it rot in a drawer after losing interest.
What you want is probably "cheap e-waste" level.

94.3 plays all the hits!
3 weeks later: honey, did you know that Frank next door is only 47.6 degrees? That's weird.
i just have a sensor with the red dot laser and you can guess what happens when i use that thing near my cats
That's hot.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Damn 94 degrees AND tail lifted
I'm glad to see technology used in the pursuit of important science.
