Thank you for this. My Henry Cat does this and I never had a good name for it except "laying with his drumsticks out".

When dogs do it I've always called it frog dogging.

Don't look now, but your frog's a toad.

Edit: to be a little more helpful for the amphibian deficient, see those bulbous sack looking things on on his, uh, neck? Those are venom sacks. Only toads have them.

That kind of pic gets funnier after you find out that Khajit in Elder Scrolls can also look like regular cats, and not just the anthro kind you see in the games(they can also end up as big cats as well)

Also like humans with tails

Counterpoint: the goddamn pigeons at my office building.

Our building is 14 stories high and starting on the 3rd floor up, we have these nice balconies. That nobody uses. Because they are filled with pigeons/pigeon poo poo. Every few months we go through the same ritual: balconies are crusted several inches deep in the corners with pigeon poo poo. Building maintenance comes in and pressure washes the poo poo out, then apply "bird repellent" which is basically glue. That the pigeons then stand in. So they end up with disgusting booties of feathers and poop, but continue standing in it anyway. Rinse and repeat. I have worked there for 11 years now, and while the repellent is a recent thing poo poo-crusted balconies are not. There are plastic patio chairs out there that have been turned upside-down so the pigeons don't drop 6" of poo poo in the seats. They're basically pigeon jungle gyms. Now I don't know why they don't just put up some loving netting or something to keep them out in the first place, but here we are.

Also we're repeatedly exposed to the miracle of the pigeon circle of life. For not only do the pigeons poo poo out there, they nest out there too. In the poo poo. This past year I documented the idiocy of a particular pair who made our 11th floor balcony their home. Soft breezes of spring blow, and the balcony has been sublet. Our pair - we'll call them Bertie and Bob - decide it's time to raise a family. So Bertie lays a solitary egg on the floor in the corner. Right in a gigantic mound of poo poo. Bob tries to be responsible and build a nest. So he brings back nesting materials. Which consists of a single 3.5" stick. That's it, that's the whole nest. Bertie sits on her stick n' egg and the poo poo too. Sometimes. Mostly it just sits there with the stick. I decide I can't watch this anymore, and fetch a lid from a box of envelopes. I take material from the shredder and put it in the lid, then place the egg and the stick inside. Bertie and Bob are confounded and stare at their most-likely-dead egg (since Bertie probably spent a grand total of 2 hours over 2 days sitting on it) in something that actually approximates a nest. The egg is not viable.

Well, it was a tragedy but one they quickly recovered from. Bertie lays another egg in the box next to the first, so they at least figured out what it was for and hopefully the new egg would stand a better chance at surviving. Alas no, Bertie and Bob also ignore the new egg so it also perishes. A couple of days after that Bertie lays a third egg in another corner of the balcony. In a puddle of bird repellent aka glue. Sitting in glue is uncomfortable so attempt #3 also dies. The next week Bertie lays a fourth egg next to the box containing two of her three dead children. And promptly ignores it. You could now make a fairly decent-sized omelette with all these eggs.

Later that same week Bob steps up his game and makes a real nest this time, Bertie lays a pair of eggs and they manage to hatch them and raise them to adulthood. This is in a completely protected area, devoid of predators. How pigeons manage to survive is a goddamn mystery to me.

They have also on at least 2 occasions flown into the patio door when nobody was around. We know this because the person who sits right next to the patio door has never seen them fly into it, and yet there were 2 very clear bird-dust silhouettes (like literal bird prints right down to individual feathers) splashed on the glass. I have pictures of all these things, but I am at work and can't post them.

If is a bird, thy name is pigeon.

Thanks for posting this story in the cute thread.

There used to be an aquarium store near my house where the owner had a pair of colossal Dalmations. They'd just walk over and lean on you for affection. If you were unlucky it was while you were near a wall, and you'd be trapped there petting them.

Back when I was like eleven my mom was dragging me along on errands. We went into a generic pet store. There was a young rhodesian ridgeback that wanted to play. He walked up and grabbed me by the crotch of my pants and started dragging me around the store. The cashier was about to call him off, but my mom stopped her and laughed her rear end off as I was lead on a grand tour.

Yeah. That's Lard rear end. I've posted about him before, but he's a stray that showed up at my parents place in rural Texas about 5-6 years ago and pulled the "This is where I live now" stunt. Not sure how many fights he got into, but he lost approximately all of them.

Considering the intelligence of corvids, I wouldn't be surprised if he was showing up to return a pencil he saw someone drop.

They recognize object categories, so it's entirely possible he knows this is where pens go.

I can't remember where I saw this, but a while back I read about a little girl who left food out for the crows that hung out in her back yard. The crows started bringing bits of glass and soda can tabs in exchange. :3:

Edit: didn't notice at first, but a YouTube of exactly that is posted in a reply to that very tweet

I didn't have a reason to go back after that, but in my heart I really loving hope there is some confused art student in Maine right now who was told to feed the drat crows by the student before them, and so on and so on, so the Morrigans are spoiled forever.

A while back I read about a scientist who was studying some aspect of crow behavior. He'd drive to a park near the university, spread some peanuts about, and observe.

After the study concluded he, coincidentally, sold his car.

Soon after, the buyer contacted him to ask why a mob of crows was following him around town. :3:

There have also been cases of grad students learning the hard way that crows can identify individual humans, and teach grudges to their young. Eventually, all students involved in researching corvids at whatever university this was were issued masks.
