On my way to start day 4! First lectures are feline nuisance behaviors and pitfalls in canine socialization
Big takeaways:
Nuisance behaviors are normal behaviors that annoy or may pose some danger
Avoid thoughts about it being spite, dominance, or vengeance- this creates an adversarial relationship with your pet in your mind. Makes you less likely to recognize what your cat actually needs to help
Punishment should always be last option, not first. Why? Because if the punishment is delayed or inconsistent (you sleep, leave the house, etc), cat only learns that "sometimes this person just goes ballistic at me for no reason" which in turn creates *anxiety*.
Scratching? Scratching is psychologically necessary. Even declawed cats will do this even though it causes them pain.
Protect furniture with a cover. Not aversives like sticky tape, just protect. Look at what textures, heights, sturdiness, orientation, location cat is scratching. Do best to replicate with something they *can* scratch. Encourage them to use with play, attention, treats.
Climbing counters? Cats want to be high AND social.
Keep tempting items off counters. Provide nearby climbing opportunities that are slightly higher than counter. Put treats there to encourage use.
Do NOT punish when up high or on slick surface. Startle response means they can easily land wrong and break a bone.
Pouncing on ankles? Cat needs more opportunities to express hunting behaviors AND interact with you.
If pouncing through doors, keep basket of noisy toys nearby and toss a toy through door to get cat to pounce on that instead. Provide more enrichment.
It is not enrichment if the cat doesn't actually engage with it.
I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.
stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.
bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.
mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:
The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."
The Useless Web
Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)
Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."
Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."
wiby - another indie search engine that focuses on older style websites, I've found a lot of fun stuff from their surprise me button.
ouch!
I love you ocean, I love you beach, I love you seashell, I love you fish, I love you moon, I love you sun, I love you stars, I love you mermaids, I love you ships, I love you sailors, I love you surfers, I love you weird deep sea creatures, I love you pearls, I love you fossils, I love you treasure chests, I love you houseboats, I love you anchors, I love you waves, I love you sea foam, I love you sea glass, I love you-

I thought crocs were so dumb, they simply tried to eat anything that caught their eye. Now they're learning?
What's next?!?
Nah Crocodilians (the group containing all 23 extant species of crocodile, aligator, caiman etc) are actually really smart, they're just a PAIN IN THE ASS to study in the wild because they're stealthy, don't eat or move that often relative to mammals, and are largely nocturnal. That said, we've found evidence of:
Coordinated Group Hunting across many species of crocodilian- AKA, hunting like a pack of wolves.
Advanced Parental Care- we knew for a long time that American alligators and Gharials built nests and mothers kept their young close, but GPS tracking has shown that the father(s) also typically stuck around and brought mom kills, but the young stay inside the territory of their parents for 3-5 years, until they reach sexual maturity.
Nile crocodiles dig enormous and surprisingly complex burrows up to 40 feet deep that they share with other crocodiles- parents and children, but also adult siblings and Unrelated "Friends"- crocs that are frequently seen close together outside as well, but do not appear to be mates. many of these burrows are decades, if not centuries old, are actively maintained, and passed down through generations.
Amazon Caiman (a type of alligator) recognize individual humans (possibly by voice), and alter their behavior around them based on past interactions. Some of them become quite playful with humans they've had positive interactions with in the past, and others hold "grudges" against specific humans for decades.
All Crocodilians engage in all major types of play behavior- Locomotor play (engaging in a behavior because it brings positive stimulation), playing with toys (Sticks, leaves, carcass, and in one paper, a floating squeaky toy that had gotten into the Bayou) and social play (Playing with other individuals). Several species, but notable Caiman and Alligators also Play with animals outside their species- young caiman have been observed playing with Amazon Giant River Otters, and Alligators playing with sharks and dolphings off the US Gulf coast. Play behavior is associated with a high degree of intelligence in animals.
Male Saltwater crocodiles in Australia employ a variety of complex mating strategies, including offering courtship gifts (tailored to the preferences of individual females), sucking up to larger males to get better introductions to females (A Long-Term strategy that pays dividends- while the beta males don't typically mate the first two or three years they try it, the ones that stick with the strategy mate with more females as they age), and doing "Off years" where they pass on the fighting and displaying and just nap and get fat instead- another strategy that pays off long-term: Big Males that engage in Off-Years mated more in On years, and lived longer overall, for a larger lifetime genetic impact.
Many zoos have had success in training captive crocodilians to do "tricks"- mostly pose behaviors that let keepers examine, vaccinate or medically treat the animal with minimal stress on all sides. But they're also apparently good at "Sit up" and "Roll over".
And as far as "Trying to eat anything that caught their eye"- pretty much all carnivores, but especially crocodilians, make pretty complex calculations on whether or not to pursue something as prey based on, but not limited to: How hungry they are, what the future prospects for food are based on the weather/season/behavior of their prey/how many other carnivores are competing with them, the likelihood of injury (either in the process of hunting, or from the prey itself), and whether the effort expended is going to be worth the reward (based on projected strategies, how full eating something like that made them last time, and if they're going to suffer weird consequences for it).

I’ve worked with a few before and honestly if you ever make direct eye contact with a crocodilian, you can actually see the gears turning to devise new and exciting crimes to commit and weighing the pros and cons of getting in trouble vs. having fun.
They’re very trainable and I could almost swear they understand more phrases than they let on. They also have unique personalities and may panic or self mutilate if separated from their peers, which is rare for reptiles.
happy treato tuesday!

I’m getting a lot more responsibilities at work. It’s a good thing but it is stressing me out a bit. I just want to be able to keep up. Especially when I make the move back to HQ and the office is way busier.

Because Cullen’s card in-game looks a tad…strange, and I thought that as an advisor he deserved a bit more. But mostly: how could I pass an opportunity to draw his ridiculously pretty face? I couldn’t, of course!
