Who wants to see my cat totally brave and not at all scared at the vet
Excellent. Here she is, being super brave:
The Belgian Malinois is a dog breed with a loyal nature, strong work ethic, and herding instincts. They possess remarkable stamina and require regular exercise to stimulate them mentally and physically.

"Sometimes I think about how we dog people usually have a few dogs in our lifetime. But our dogs only have us. They live their whole lives...just with us. It would be a shame to keep wishing they were somebody else, and letting that outlook block us from discovering who they really could be -- and who we could be together."
-Kathy Callahan, "A Final Thought: Let Go of the Vision So You Can Meet Your Actual Dog", Welcoming Your Puppy From Planet Dog
I can't find my old post about animals that look like muppets, but behold the first new addition that meets my rigorously high standards in several years
You know, a lot of people don’t realize this but…. The animals at the zoo represent so many opportunities for biologists around the world to learn basic information about, well, animals! We get research proposals all the time from researchers, both among our own staff and globally, seeking permission to include the animals in their research. We approve the proposals that are of the greatest scientific value, that have potential to help us even further improve our qualities of animal care, and that are certain to cause no harm of any form to the animals. Recently two papers were published in major academic journals by scientists from regional universities that contribute some fascinating information to the global body of knowledge about animals. Dr. Bonnie M. Perdue (Department of Psychology, Agnes Scott College) published: Perdue, B.M. 2016. The effect of computerized testing on Sun Bear behavior and enrichment preferences. Behavioral Sciences 6, 19; doi:10.3390/bs6040019 The field of comparative cognition investigates species’ differences and similarities in cognitive abilities, and sheds light on the evolutionary origins of such capacities. Dr. Perdue realized that, while cognitive studies commonly are conducted with animals such as dogs, elephants, primates, and even giant pandas, many animals have never been studied. So, she applied some standard methods, using an ingenious rugged computerized touchscreen apparatus, to our sun bears. Bears typically use their tongues to explore and manipulate their environment and, she found that the bears actively engaged the touchscreen menus with their tongues.
The screens had dabs of honey on them in the earlier trials, to draw the bears’ attention to these novel objects. Once familiarized with the screens, the bears proceeded to learn to interact with specific color- or shape-targets on the screen in exchange for treats. Soon, the bears were preferring to interact with the computer screens more than any of the other enrichment items available to them. This study discovered a new method by which bears can be studied and showed that the experiments were preferred by the bears who actively involved themselves at every opportunity. This is fascinating stuff! Alexis Noel (a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Tech) and her colleagues published: Noel, A.C., Guo, H-Y., Mandica, M., Hu, D.L. 2017 Frogs use a viscoelastic tongue and non-Newtonian saliva to catch prey. Journal of the Royal Society Interface 14: 20160764. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2016.0764 Frogs can capture insects, mice and even birds using only their tongue, with a speed and versatility unmatched in the world of synthetic materials. How can the frog tongue be so sticky? In this multi-faceted study that included some frogs here, used high-speed films of frog feeding to understand the behaviors involved in tongue-feeding. Then they used high-tech measurements and characterizations of frog tongues at Georgia Tech to investigate the structural properties of frog tongues and saliva.
They found that the tongue’s unique stickiness results from a combination of an incredibly soft and stretchable anatomy soft and a saliva that simply does not follow the normal rules of how liquids respond to pressure. The tongue acts like a car’s shock absorber during insect capture, absorbing energy and so preventing separation from the insect. The unique saliva spreads over the insect during impact, grips it firmly to the tongue, and yet it slides off easily once it is back in the mouth. This combination of properties gives the tongue 50 times greater work of adhesion than known synthetic material (such as everyone’s favorite, the sticky-hand toy). These insights offer many new ideas and models for applications in industry and engineering. Yet more proof that frogs are the coolest animals on Earth!

I think one of the worst things for a cat to be is mysteriously wet.
could be they got a little too enthusiastic about the water bowl. could be they got in the sink somehow. could be from grooming. could be just so so much piss. they could be empissened and I don't like that is the thing and the problem and the issue as well
Documenting what is quite possibly the best exchange I have ever seen on this website.
He will not be exiled again
I enjoy all parts of this post. The trans leash, the confusion, the heartfelt display of affection we give to our pets. The biography, the history lesson, and the morality of keeping cats indoors are all bonuses.
Hey thats me again.
Anyway guess whos 18 now!!!

@canisalbus this is Machete's mom to me 😅
how well do cat eunuch sir and the potatoes get along
(like eatable potatoes)
he's not been able to make the acquaintance of potatoes, even though he seems to really want to when they're on my plate specifically
Ready for winter
feeling extremely threatened right now
The fattest kitten at work hates humans SO MUCH. He doesn’t want to get picked up, he doesn’t want a cuddle. we’re all like, you should have thought about that before you decided to be the fattest little baby in existence. You think we’re not going to pick you up? You think we’re not going to kiss you? You’re so fat
do you have a picture of the little guy
He hissed at me 3 times while I took this picture
