I’m constantly seeing that crying cat meme on my dash and i gotta remind yall that cats and dogs do not cry naturally, those animals all have eye infections
i’m just worried this kind of anthropomorphism is going to lead to people not recognizing that their animals are sick.
dont worry, this is super photoshopped! this is the original, healthy cat:
thats the devil actually
This is how my friend found the cat in the bathroom
Always hang your cat up to dry after a bath.
“I AM THE NITE”
“stop”
“CRIMINALS ARE A MEOWARDLY AND SUPERSTITIOUS LOT”
“get down from there”
I’M CRYING LOOK WHAT MY CAT DID IN HER SLEEP
Blep blep blep
CATS ARE SO WEIRD
Oh my god. This is too cute.
My best guess is that it’s a motor pattern involved in a dream the cat is having - probably either grooming behavior or drinking. Either way, awwwwww.

Pls just have them make a petting zoo so that I can visit and pet all the animals
Is the cat just trying to move the carrot, or?
Rating: Cute
the cat is trying to absolutely fucking murder the carrot
(in all seriousness, this is an example of the overlap in play and hunting behaviors in cats. the cat is playing, but playing for cats involves practicing their hunting skills, so the cat is gripping the carrot and kicking it and shaking it and biting it in an effort to weaken it for possible killing and eating. all in good fun!)
Tashirojima, or as it’s more commonly known (for obvious reasons), “Cat Island” is a small island in Ishinomaki, Japan. With only approximately 100 people living on the island and thousands of stray cats, it’s a cat-lovers dream come true. It is believed that the population of cats thrives due to a belief that feeding cats will bring good fortune. Dogs are even prohibited from the island! In the middle of the island lies a small cat shrine. The story behind this shrine lies with the fishermen of the island. They said that the cats would come and beg for fish, and they would often give into the cats and feed them. On one occasion, the fishermen were collecting rocks for their fixed nets and one fell, killing one of the cats. Feeling guilty and upset about the loss of the cat, they buried it and built a shrine.

Raccoon dogs look very similar to raccoons but have no genetic similarities between them. They belong to the Canidae family, which are known to have distinct dog and wolf like characteristics and appearance. These animals are both carnivorous and omnivorous mammals.
They are monogamous and will mate for life. It is only if the mate dies or is killed, will the other search for a new mate. Two mates will hibernate in one den. During this period they will maintain close body contact to keep each other warm and will groom each other as well. This is a trait not practiced by canines, as dogs neither hibernate and nor are they monogamous in nature.
Raccoon dogs are also known as tanuki, and they feature very heavily in a lot of Japanese folklore. They also get super fluffy and adorable when their winter coat comes in.
If you want to see one in real life, only place in the entire United States that houses tanuki is Zoo Atlanta - they’ve got two bonded brothers named Thor and Loki. Tanuki are really uncommon in zoos around the world, although I’m not sure why - IUCN lists them as ‘least concern’ so maybe they’re just so prevalent as to not be thought “worth” exhibiting. They’re super cool little canids, though, so definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.
Happy dog in the snow…

I’m not saying dogs have all the answers
I will say
if we coud all just have the wholesome joy for life that doggos do

a lot of people tend to confuse cats showing their belly for belly rubs, but it’s actually only something dogs do, for cats its a sign of respect and trust, they are not expecting to get pet, so when they do it’s not uncommon they get startled or think its play fight, of course there are expectations and some cats who ADORES belly rubs
