Fun with Wild Animals

I’ll send you Patticake. He’ll get the job done in just a few weeks. Well, make that 3 weeks. I just had to have 5 of his teeth removed including both upper canines. But, he’s already back to hunting.

This was after the surgery, still drugged up :rofl:

LOVE the tongue out!

He was cracking me up that day. He’s usually a bitter old man, but was so out of it, he didn’t have a care in the world! Since he’s lost his canine’s his tongue still sticks out randomly, lol

Small dog. Big nerve. :laughing:

Small dogs are tough.

This has been around for a while but it’s still funny.

It could be worse. You could come home for a nap and find this ------

Eagle nest in AK. Given the location they better check it for Russian or Chinese ‘bugs’. :grin:

Ollie “airing it out” this morning…

We had an eye setback last Thurs for no apparent reason but it’s back under control with medication and looking better…

Yea… He’s getting bigger.

Sploot!

I’ve been a “Cat Guy” since 1998. Ollie is the 7th cat we’ve rescued over all those years.

Never had one that sits like this and he does it often.

I can happily report that his eye is back to his normal as of this evening. I haven’t been able to get a really close look with my readers on but I am not seeing any scar tissue anymore so now the difference is a slightly different color which is kinda cool.

I live in Southern California suburbia, and hungry coyotes have been seen in broad daylight strolling through every neighborhood. I’m pretty sure I lost my first cat to a coyote. On NextDoor and other neighborhood apps, people post coyote sightings multiple times a day, warning people to keep small children and pets inside or under adult care at all times.

One of the wildlife biologists at the research unit I worked at specialized in mammalian predators, mostly wolves and coyotes. Coyotes are omnivores, they prefer meat but will also eat berries, fruits and vegetables. The biologist had photos of a watermelon patch that coyotes had eaten from. One watermelon was mostly eaten but another one beside it had been scratched at but left alone. They cut open the uneaten melon and found that it was rotten inside. The coyotes could smell the difference.

This is Buddy. A Hooman at an event purchased a chair to sit on not knowing that “Small Chair” was a child’s chair. Buddy saw the chair while the hooman was ranting saying how nothing can fit in there, and decided “Ize Fits, Ize Sits” and so he did. Happily.

(Buddy is not mine, but I know his hooman. I tool said photo)

Porthos ( Just under 4 months, about 7 pounds ) is adjusting well to his new home. Here he is contesting the resident cat, Freya, for position in the strawberry crate.


The crate, BTW, was sitting near the back door several months ago during strawberry season, waiting to go to the recycling can. It was taken over by Freya and her late brother. So now I just line it with an old towel and pretend that it was always intended for the cats.

I did a double-take because Porthos looks so much like my ginger. If he continues to grow at a fast pace, he’ll be as big as mine!

The orange cat here is Freya, a three year old Norwegian Forest Cat, who is about 13 pounds.

Sorry I got the ginger and the pointed cats mixed up. They’re both beautiful! :heart: :heart_eyes_cat:
