my brother is teaching his cat how to high five by giving her a treat every time she successfully taps her hand to his hand, which is all well and good, but now she thinks that she is entitled to food every time she high fives someone. i can’t eat in the same room as her anymore because she’ll just bap my hand rapid fire and then go nyoom straight in for my pizza like no Kelly that’s illegal go finish ur own dinner
“No Kelly, that’s illegal.”
So, a while back, I was using clicker-training to teach my cat Taz tricks. She learned very quickly and it was a good experience all around, but we had to hide the clicker.
Taz had learned that the clicker meant she got treats. So she would find it, carry it up to people, step on it to make it click, and then SCREAM AT THEM to give her the treats she was clearly owed because the clicker had made a sound.

If brains are biological computers, why don’t we lag?
You can’t tell me you’ve never walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there or lost a train of thought for a few seconds
Once when I was driving home from school I had a brief moment of panic because I thought I’d forgotten my car at school

It absolutely can, we call that “imagination”.

Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.”
“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.
Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”
The La Brea Tar Pits? You mean The The Tar Tar Pits?
“Kangaroo”, similarly, is the answer given when the European “discoverers” of Australia asked what the strange hopping animals were called.
“Kangaroo” means “I don’t understand what you are saying”.

frog updates
Liberace is becoming more and more vocal. He is very confident in his singing, and can be set off by anything – the creak of the spray bottle sounds enough like a frog croaking that he begins to ribbit each time I moisten their enclosure. The other day, he heard chanting from ‘Teen Wolf’ and began croaking in unison. Each night around 10 PM, he crawls out of the daytime hide and chills under the rock bridge, while Millie sits on top of it. Liberace is a good boy, a sweet boy.
Millie…. Millie is a wicked frog. She cares not that I be too large to consume, for she doth try! The villainy! I tried to place a mealworm in the terrarium and the instant I opened the door, she jumped OUT of it and onto my arm, biting desperately at my wrist. I am a jumpy person and if she weren’t so sticky she would have been flung into the wall. As soon as I placed her gently back into the cage, she projectile peed on me! Right out of the terrarium, hitting me squarely in the chest – a good two foot range.

My new candle monster oc! He actually isnt made fully of wax, It is an outer coating made of hard durable wax that can withstand a lot of heat, but over the years will melt.
His name is Gallur and he is 8’9, Demisexual and is actually very sweet.
Some assholes have been putting nails in cheese and treats in dog parks in Chicago and Massachusetts. Also adding antifreeze to water bowls.
Please watch out for your dogs. And if you find out the address of someone doing this, give me the address and tell no one. I will disembowel them.
Antifreeze is fucking deadly as shit. Whilst my mom worked in the vets office the neighbor of a cat owner had become sick of his neighbors tom spraying by his house so he left antifreeze out for the cat. Animals are weirdly attracted to the smell and will drink it.
The cat was given to the vets and for 2 days it’s insides were slowly dissolved by the acids and it bled from his nose, mouth and even eyes.
On the second day, the vet not being able to help and refusing to let the cat suffer any longer put the cat down. The neighbor who did not deny his crimes didn’t even offer to pay the woman’s vet bill.
SO THE BIGGEST FUCKING SIGNAL BOOST TO THIS POST.
Fuck who ever is doing this. They can fucking burn.
my friend had a cat and it drank antifreeze that was puddled in the driveway and one day they were knitting and it just vomited up all of its internal organs and fell over dead on her lap.
The perpetrators of all of this will burn in Hell.
A neighbor of mine threw a ball of hamburger full of rat poison pellets over our fence for my son’s dog. He survived, barely, but has had nerve damage ever since.
Okay, listen up, if your pet drinks antifreeze, do you know what the cure is? Alcohol. That’s right. To save your furry little friend you have to get them drunk out of their faces. Antifreeze is an inhibitor and stops your enzymes from working, but luckily alcohol stops that from happening. I learned this from my A Level Biology lessons, but here’s a source anyway http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/2617997.stm
Shit this is important SIGNAL BOOST THIS THANK YOU ALICE
BOOST.
FUCKING BOOST.They did this recently in a town near me. They put nails in hot dogs and threw them into backyards as well as some rat poison. A lot of the neighbor dogs died…
@drferox please I would like to know if this is true and safe to do.
No.
No.
No.
Do not give your pets alcohol if you suspect they have had antifreeze.
Take them to a vet clinic for assessment ASAP. Alcohol is only helpful if given very shortly after ingestion, and will actually make the toxicity worse if given too late.
Go to a vet clinic for emergency treatment.
I have explained how antifreeze works here.
If you contribute to the spread of misinformation you may be delaying treatment of animals that otherwise could have been saved.
