Seconded. My buddy recently got a kitten for his two-year-old daughter, and wisely went with my family's inbred clowder of farm cats. Princess, the one on top here, has only two settings: Sedate, happy, sitting on your chest and buzzing, and I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE TASTE OF YOUR FINGERS. She's drawn blood from me on more than one occasion, including when I just pick her up gently. She'll even chase the other cat in the picture all around the house. But when the wee baby Lizzie grabs her around the middle, Princess will quite gently push her away, being very careful not to use claws. Even when she's locked in Lizzie's room with her, she apparently is still shockingly gentle about getting away from the grabby monster-child.

Tell them I need my cat back.

Oklahoma City live owl cam. Two parents and three babies. They look pretty cold today.
I opened it and tabbed out waiting for it to load. Tabbed back in and her head was completely turned around. Fuckin' owls, man. :3: Thanks for this; I love raptor cams. Still waiting for the peregrine cams to come back into season.

One of the techs at the vet's office once said that Clark has nothing but love and fluff between his ears, but I don't think you'd know it just looking at him. He was concerned about how much money we spent on Christmas presents and the environmental impact of all that wrapping paper:


And he would like to remind you that good things come to those who wait.

(Actually he was contemplating whether he'd shrunk down to lap dog size, and how to best ensure my full attention was on him and not the TV.)

The weird grimace they make after tasting/smelling the marmite is the Flehmen response. It draws air into an auxiliary smell organ.

It also makes the animal look funny.

It makes sense considering that group of lizards is partly arboreal. Seeing it happen in an apartment setting, however, is somewhat surreal.

Fake edit: I just looked it up, and apparently tegu lizards aren't directly related to monitor lizards like I thought. Weird.

Convergent evolution! They're the monitor lizard equivalents in the New World.

Have another arboreal critter, the red-crested tree rat.

That reminds me of a story back from my college days. I had a friend that collected lizards for whatever reason, and at the place he and another friend stayed at he had a monitor that would wander around. they make decent low-maintenance pets. the lazy thing would rarely clean off its own shedded skin in some spots though, so it'd be walking along and just have like, a layer of dead scales just sitting on its own head. Anyways, one day the friend sat down with a banana to eat, and oh my goodness, it was the only time I'd ever seen that lizard move fast. it CRAVED that banana. It rushed over, and started jumping at his legs like an excited puppy until he gave him some. So adorable.

Hey dude, you can have birds and cats. I have a big old man cat who's greatest pleasure in life is hunting, but I also have an adorable tiny bird. Just shut the cats out of the room for a bit. They'll whine, but be okay.

Getting brunch is more important to me than other peoples lives.

This reminds me of the little ladybug I saved today. It was chilling on the floor at my work, right on a major pathway. I'm too superstitious to let someone step on it. It didn't want to crawl on my finger and it didn't want to get off my hand onto the tree outside, but I eventually got it there.

My cat does this CONSTANTLY. I've had cats my whole life and I was 20 the first time I saw a cat do it. She was a kitten and she had stuck her head inside my housemate's shoe, and withdrawn it with her mouth wide open and her lips curled back. To this day, she does it constantly, either in response to a smell, or after she's snapped at me and I've pulled my hand away and she still wants to seem threatening. In fact, she just did it about half an hour ago, but now she's back to being adorable sleeping at the foot of the bed.
