Elephant shrew

“Phylogenetic analysis revealed that elephant shrews are not classified with true shrews, but are in fact more closely related to elephants than shrews.”

Trainability in cats is a funny thing.

My cats understand and will obey a number of verbal commands, one of which is “go away”. I don’t use it often, but if they’re bugging me and I’m trying to work or doing something that could be dangerous for cats, I can tell them to go away, and off they go - they’ll only keep pestering me if there’s a serious problem they need me to look at.

That said, their idea of a serious problem that requires my attention is somewhat eccentric. Previous instances have included:

There was an unfamiliar car parked across the street

Their water bowl was four inches to the left of its usual position

One of them had puked on the stairs and they didn’t want to walk past it

It was raining

One of them saw a weird bug

These are all very important things that required your attention. They’re doing a good job.

Dogs really aren’t much better.  I teach all my dogs the command “show me”.  How it works is if the dog needs something but I’m having trouble understanding what exactly they’re trying to tell me, I say “show me” and they lead me to whatever the problem is.  Usually they lead me to a real problem (like a toy that got stuck under the couch, their water bowl is empty, etc).  But sometimes they want me to fix things like this-

They pulled the covers off my bed and now they want me to put the covers back

They put their ball on top of the ottoman but the ottoman won’t throw it for them

The cat is sleeping and won’t chase them

A flower fell off the potted plant

The cat is sitting in a box and they don’t like it

One of them lost their bandana

The cat won’t take the toy they’re trying to give her

The cat DID take the toy they gave her and now they want it back

Even grittier historical drama Cruella where she attempts to raze the kingdom of Dalmatia due to some personal aristocratic grudge.

[kurganfilledwithbearbones]

In the early tenth century, mercenaries under the command of Drusillia of Friuli staged an attack on the Dalmatian Islands but were repulsed by the Dalmatians and the aid of the displaced Saxon warlord Hrodger and his consort Anna. The story of Drusilla and the “Hundred Dalmatians,” referring to the many islands of Dalmatia, was passed down into local folklore. The Friulan “Drusilla d’Il Friûl” or Croation “Drusilja Furlanija” were eventually corrupted into English as “Cruella De Vil.” The confusion in the English-speaking world between the historical territory and the breed of dog became widespread by the Regency period, and the Saxon involvement was of great interest to English writers. “The witch Cruella de Villa defeated by a hundred Dalmatian dogs led by the Englishman Rodger” appears in a late nineteenth century English folktale collection.

The historical Drusillia’s raid on Dalmatia seems to have been spurred by a dispute over control of a fur trade pipeline that led from the north of the Alps to Dalmatia. A version of the legend discovered in a fifteenth-century Croatian prose manuscript claims that Drusillia’s widowed mother Katharina of Friuli was murdered by Illyrian pirates, and that Drusillia’s brothers Horatius and Gasparus did not adequately seek recompense. A thirteenth-century history of Friuli written in Latin mentions the raid of Drusillia and her husband Gasparus against the warlord Bornaus rex dalmatiae, elsewhere referred to in the manuscript as Bogdanus dalmatiae. It is believed that this “Borna” or “Bogdan” king of Dalmatia was received in English as “Pongo of the Dalmatians.”

A guest looking at the timber rattlesnake in the reptile exhibit: Do the snakes have names?

Me: (Launches into my speech about how No, they don’t even though the nonvenomous snakes do, because they’re wild animals and dangerous to handle. The reptile keeper is wary of over-familiarity becoming carelessness, so we don’t give them names as a mark of respect and a reminder of caution.) You can call them anything you want though!

Guest: Oh… That makes sense. I was going to say this one’s name should be Justin. You know, Justin Timbersnake?

Me: I am going into the reptile room this second and asking him to change the name policy
