In which the author would like to remind you that this fic is rated NSFW. Also featuring cute little egglets hatching. 😉
One of our cats is sort of high-strung. She’s very sweet, but Particular.
Today I attempted to pet her, she moved, and I ended up sort of crimping her whiskers. When I stood up, I ran my foot into the tripod she was sitting under.
Evidently she decided she didn’t want any more of me at the moment.
I wish she’d come up with a way to express that other than grappling and biting my leg, letting go, staring expectantly at me, and repeating until I get the hint.
It’s a trope that cats hate water, but that’s not a blanket rule. Some breeds are really interested in water – Turkish Vans come to mind as well-known examples – and some individuals just don’t care about getting wet or actually like the feel of water. I get lots of asks about cats that like to play in the bathtub, or like having water poured on their backs. So, for whatever reason, this kitteh has decided the fun of playing in the water is worth whatever discomfort it might being – or he just is fine getting wet!
‘Krakatoa, a 75-pound, 7.5-foot long Komodo Dragon, celebrates his eighth birthday with fellow eight-year-olds from R.B. Hunt Elementary School at his enclosure at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park in St. Augustine, Fla. The children sang Happy Birthday to the large lizard as he was presented with a meat cake topped with mice.’
with other eight year olds
I’ve reblogged this picture before, and it never hit me up until this…
But someone walked into work that morning, clocked in, and was told it was their job to go put the birthday hat on the Komodo Dragon.
Oh, they woulda been giddy about it I promise you. Komodo dragons and salt water crocodiles are the two top contenders for smartest reptiles on Earth, and while the salt water croc’s intelligence revolves primarily around stalking tactics and hunting, Komodo dragons actually have a social intelligence akin to dogs that doesn’t seem to shine through so well in the wild but hoo boy, in captivity.
Many Komodo dragons like to play with things like squeak toys, and grabbing things out of the hands or pockets of their keepers to play tug-a-war. They recognize different humans and different outfits, and form a bond with their keepers. And since they’re not eating festering meat, their bites would lack the infectious lethality of those in the wild if they DID decide to bite for some reason. The worst that’s come from captive-born Komodos that I’m aware of was a curious nip at a reporter one didn’t recognize.
The festering-meat-bacteria-bite thing was actually dismissed as a myth. Like other monitor species they actually do have a venomous bite. Their native home is full of swamps and stagnant water so when their prey (deer or water buffalo) would run away after getting bitten they’d go hide in water just buzzing with infectious organisms. Their natural venom acts as a blood-thinner, causing the wounds they inflict to bleed out and send the prey into shock.
Komodo Dragons are really smart though, I’ve seen the one at my local zoo play tug-of-war with a towel the zookeeper specifically used for that.
For those of you thinking of purchasing testosterone illegally please remember you are taking your life into your hands and you absolutely can overdose on T and it can be life threatening. Taking a ton of T will not masculinize you. Too much T can get converted back into estrogen.
Do not take any testosterone not purchased with your prescription given to you by your doctor. Every one’s dose is different.
Hormone imbalance can severely fuck up your body.
not on T but i’m sure some lovely soul out there on my blog may need this
plz b safe
This post very well could have just saved me bc I had no idea my vision getting blurry like this OR the headaches were signs of overdose despite telling my doctor about those two symptoms. So thank you.
