"Non violent resistance" in animals is always the funniest thing.

We always called it "passive resistance" when I groomed dogs.
It was called that by the political science major, I don't think it is an industry term.

I'm sitting outside smoking a cigarette while looking through this thread. My porch backs into a nature preserve. Apparently this kitten's meow has made a momma fox nervous. She just started making a sound similar to this, but a little lower with slightly longer intervals:

Several years ago, I had a foster cat and a puppy. My ex and I had left fries on a pan on the counter after dinner was done. My ex had walked in to find the cat on the counter picking up the leftover does one-by-one and dropping them on the floor for the puppy.

Also, please share in the Orange Cats thread. Pike needs a dedicated fan club.

That's because she was raised in a happy home. Mine ALL think I should be petting and playing with them at all times, but I don't have enough hands to do so.

Here is one of my red tabbies at my old house. He would speed down the hallway, through the kitchen, into the sunroom. then zoom up his cat tree and leap into the rafters, where he would howl for me to come see how impressive he was and gaze in awe at how much his tail resembled a cheeto when it was all puffed up.

Newest Pike update: just out of the vet and he doesn’t need surgery! Since he’s so young, the bone is growing fast and callusing up so he’ll always have one leg shorter than the other, but he’ll adapt just fine. Pike Trickleg indeed.

I had a kitten that my mom found in the street when I was a teenager. Both of his back legs were broken, but since he was so young and growing so quickly, the vets couldn't set them. He grew up with both back feet turning out like a ballerina. He would also encircle my car with dead shrews every evening after he grew up. I loved that cat.

I went looking for info on Emilio, AKA:business cat, since I remembered he belonged to a goon and we just received a lease renewal offer that included a picture of business cat. This led to watching lots of dumb cartoons and videos. Here is one of peacock spiders at Christmas, if anymore goons need gifs of peacock spiders playing instruments.

OMG! She's like a short haired black and white Sissel (my cat I found in a taco bell parking lot)! I now need to find the studs in my wall to make a chain bridge for her.

I have been trying to figure out how to make the kitties a playground in my bedroom out of cardboard using techniques from this book.

I've only collected a few pieces of triple tier cardboard, so people furniture is out, but I should be able to make stuff durable enough to hold my 23lb cat with what I have. Sissel is probably 12 lbs.

Edit: had not viewed her adult pics yet.

Out of nowhere tonight Rexie decided she loves using the wheel all on her own. She must have spent 15 minutes on the drat thing. At one point she stopped to poop and then just got right back on.

I've thought about getting one of those cat wheels, but I don't think it can support the cat who most needs the exercise. I think he was 23lbs at his last weigh-in. And he would absolutely hit that thing as hard as possible if he decides it's a great way to show me how awesome he is when I get home. By hit, I mean, launch himself into it as soon as I open the door. I'm pretty sure the force he uses when doing so would break it.

I miss playing with baby goats :(

BTW, those are pygmy goats, the naughtiest of goats. But all goats are much cleverer than they are given credit for.

My old boss had a rotation in veterinary school that included day to day care of the farm animals that are at the school (or maybe an off-campus barn, I never asked). She said that every morning, the goats were out of their enclosures wandering around. It didn't matter what kinds of latches they used on the doors, the goats would find a way to escape.

Holy poo poo. I thought cats were like incapable of seeing animals that much smaller than themselves as anything but prey or toys. What the hell is going on here?

One of the semi-feral cats I had in Tennessee caught a mole, brought it up to the patio, and proceeded to play house with it. She acted like the momcat I fostered at one time did towards her kittens when they were mobile.

She'd flop down on her side several feet away then trill at the mole. As soon as it tried to make a run for it (they are not very good at running) she'd trot over, pick it up by the scruff of its neck*, move it back to the center of the patio, groom it, then flop down several feet away again and trill at it.

I got all the semi-feral kittens spayed and neutered before they were matured, so it's not like her hormones could have been out of whack. She was just a weird cat.

I caught her siblings playing volleyball with a shrew-mole late one night. Like, keeping it airborne, smacking it back and forth.


*Moles don't seem to have scruffs like cats, but Veruca picked the mole up gently by the skin behind its head.

I realize you probably don't have pictures of Veruca and her molebaby, but if you have pictures of her regardless, I feel it would help to sell the grandeur and nobility of that story.

I will check my lovely computer. Veruca was also the only one of the 5 that the grackles hated. I'm guessing because she is a classic brown tabby while her mom and siblings are broken or ticked tabbies, so it was harder to tell them apart.

There are lots of cute "rats playing musical instruments" photos on the internet. I think they must be the photographers pet Dumbo rats since the blue spotted one shows up in a lot of the pictures. These aren't taxidermy. Just something tasty on tiny props.

reminds me of the story of Pocho the crocodile. It's a nice, short read that shows off that crocs can actually be animals understanding of love and compassion.

That article, when it was posted on another thread, made be do internet research on crocodillian intelligence, since I always thought they were dumb. Turns out I was wrong. They are just very difficult to research because they are ambush predators and they are not as active hunting due to low metabolism. They also tend to be nocturnal hunters and live in murky water.

But, they have been observed hunting in packs and given specific jobs in the hunting party.
