Fun with Wild Animals

Luna paused between chevauchees so I could take a picture.

Beautiful Eyes!

:heart_eyes_cat:

And yet aluminum foil confounds them!

Beautiful cat :heart:

The first one is my avatar, our beloved dog Shaka, whom we lost this March after a two-month-long heartbreaking battle with hemangiosarcoma :cry: Before Shaka, we had another angel, named Dali. And after losing him, we weren’t able to adopt another pet for 5 years… This time, we did just the opposite. The second one is Shaka’s distant cousin, Pasha, 3 months old as of today, keeping us busy.

A spittin’ image if ever a Dog seen one.

Bless this pup, and may the Pasha-pendant protect.

Someone still has roundworms… Guess who - not me.

Damn… He’s been dewormed twice with Drontal which is supposed to work the first time and he’s still testing positive… 3rd times a charm I hope…

As hard as we tried, we couldn’t get him to take the pill at home yesterday… Had to take him back to the vet and they got it down his throat in 2 seconds… Thankfully this is only once today and once more in 2 weeks and hopefully that should be that…

The world’s most expensive free cat…

Years ago I learned from our Vet how to give a cat a pill. You grab their head in a certain way that opens their mouth and push the pill to the back of their throat. Done quickly, the pill goes right down and the cat is not angry at you.

I thought I had that figured out once. Worked well a few times. Then I had several simultaneous puncture wounds on the next attempt.

Yea, I’ve been taking care of cats for 24 years. Never could get the hang of pills. Not sure why these things aren’t avail in liquids. I’m a pro with an oral syringe…

PATENTLY untrue.

As any of those cats would tell you, THEY were taking care of you!

:smiley:

Fake news, lol. PattiCake definitely angry even when it goes smoothly.

As a cat person, I can tell you this is true. They’ve been keeping your tables and counters clear of debris for years. Just helping out. :rofl:

They were tolerating you :smile:

IDK boys and girls… This guy loves me. Always on my lap while I’m working with his paws on my legs… This isn’t tolerating, it’s ā€œI know you saved my butt kind of loveā€ā€¦

I have another cat that is a tolerater… And yes… He’s getting big fast!

This is what’s going on at the moment. LOL

Aw, he feels so safe with you :smiling_cat_with_heart_eyes:

Just resting, I was fine and hopped away

We have had a population explosion in the bunny species this year.

Come to think of it I am seeing less hawks and other raptors in our area.
