Cats and Dogs, Dogs and cats

It requires a skilled look for epiandrous fusillae, sperm spinnerets, on the forward part of the abdomen underneath, the epigastric furrow, located between the forward pair of book lungs.

 

Can you post that again for me... slowly... ooo yeeeaaahhhh.....

He would also pee in my clean laundry basket if he thought I wasn't doing something right! :)

 

haha, coincidentally, my freak of a cat does that as well. Along with bathtubs and any other sleek and smooth surface.

 

And when we lived in out old house- he always used to spray. We had gotten him fixed at a young enough age.... but there was another male cat that'd lived in the house years ago.... and he probably smelled with.... which is why he'd spray all the time.

 

Luckily, he doesn't spray in out new house, so, it's staying nice and clean and new looking.:D

 

But he definately still pees in the bathtub and empty laundry baskets.

 

I think he does it for attention.... when he wants food, or something.

 

He's such a pig. If we gave him the chance, he'd eat until his fat little belly popped. Just this morning, I caught him downing about tablespoon of stick butter that was sitting on the counter.

 

he's so fat!:eek2:

Ha! :)

 

My cat would wait until I got my clothes out of the Dryer and before I'd put them away! I'd go get a clean shirt from the basket to dicover his

"Complementary Scent Marking!:D "

 

He was SO smart. At night he would Unlatch the Garbage cabinet, then tip over the Garbage can that is pretty tall, and rummage for scraps.. :D

Hmmm... that sounds like what a Racoon would do.! :eek2:

[Drip Curl Magic]

haha, my cat is pretty smart as well. it makes him a bit of a pain in the ***, though. haha.

 

he opens doors and stuff. He's pretty cool sometimes.

A cat that eats sticks of butter?? :eek2:

 

My cat loved Broccolli! It was strange. Raw or Steamed! I couldn't keep it away from him..

 

That and the Catnip! :)

[Drip Curl Magic]

I'm thinking about preparing an intermission comcerning my cats cat nip habits. It says that cat nip is not addictive... but he sure eats a good amount of it. Then after eating most of it, he rolls around in the rest of it until he's all nice and high. :eek2:

 

nothing wrong with that I suppose.... but it get kind of annoying. he beds for catnip everynight.

 

Then once he's high, he goes up to walls and starts meowing really loud. Which is annoying as hell, because he's the loudest cat I've ever heard. Ugh.

___I have no, nor care to have pets, although I have in the past kept both cats & dogs. For one thing, I don't even properly feed, clean, or seek medical attention for myself, so subjecting an animal to my lack of attention seems unethical. Next, I am on a fixed income & a pet is economically unjustafiable. Finally, & most troublesome, I think keeping pets in general is a waste of resources in a world where people starve to death every day; moreover the collection (or non-collection) of pet waste is disgusting & unsanitary to say the least. Given the rewards people credit with keeping pets, it is difficult (if not impossible) to quantify my feeling in this regard, so take it for what you wish. :eek2:

It sounds to me like you are perfectly suited as a tarantula wrangler :)

Turtle, have you kept livestock at any time?

___I have helped on occasion care for horses & cattle, but I have not owned my own livestock. Here I need to make a distinction between "pet" & "livestock", inasmuch as I took a strong argument against pets. A working Sheepdog for example I consider livestock & not a "pet". Any working dog or cat is good in my book if it's economically/environmentally justified.

___Keeping animals just to have a pet is not a "working" situation in my objective calculation, particulary in urban settings. I like petting a good dog or cat as much as most people, but that just doesn't seem enough.:eek2:

are tarantular's aggressive? can you pick them up?

I'm no expert, but I bet you'd better not try it in the wild :eek2: ... Those domesticated ones... sure can. :)

Some, very few, are docile enough to let crawl on you. Some, like my usumbara or goliath must be held firmly, from behind, as they will bite for the fun of it, they are very agressive. None of them are poisonous so there's no danger but, the bite can be quite painful from some of them. The fangs on my goliath are over 1/2" and they will be about 3/4" when she's full grown. My goliath also has urticating hairs she can flick into the air which can really be quite painful to the eyes.

 

I generally tell people they are like fish, you put them in a tank and you watch them; not take them out and play with them. There are times when they must be handled for tasks like sexing but otherwise they should be left alone. Handling them stresses them and a fall of a few feet can kill them. They develop no emotional attachments or loyalties so there is really no good reason to put them through the stress. People that routinely play with their tarantulas are showing off for their own benefit, not the tarantula's.

I think it's funny that you've got this big righteous tarantula with with 3/4" fangs having the same name as my dog... I spelled it differently for various reasons, but it's funny all the same.

 

 

"Goliath... Meet Galiath. Now... play nice you two!" :eek2:

Actually goliath is the species, her name is Thera. She is a theraphosa leblondi, AKA Goliath Bird Eater.

[Drip Curl Magic]

all this tarantula talk is freaking me out!

 

whenever i think about spiders or tarantulas, I always feeling the slightest little tickles on my legs... and think they are fat spiders trying to crawl up my leg and eat me!

 

I'm dreadfully scared of the buggers!:eek2:

Why do cats and dogs insist on drinking water from the swimming pool and toilet when there is plenty of fresh water in their bowls? Do they like the additional bacteria and chemicals? ;)
