Pretty sure many dogs just piss and shit on the floor if they are not let out in time.

Knew a guy whose wife’s cat would shit on his pillow … while he was sleeping.

My son was here this weekend giving her some small scraps which she seemed to enjoy (nothing left) but these live ones she hasn’t quite figured out yet.  No, I wouldn’t let her eat those, they had to go back, but I did give her a sand trout about the same size as the first pic but she’s just not sure how to handle something like that yet.

neighbor cat seeing what I’m up to while my cat is distracted. He wouldn’t come in and as soon as Mr. Kitty figured out he was at her door she ran him off lol

i always leave the door open when she’s outside because she’s sprints inside whenever she hears something she doesn’t like or sees someone walking up

so weird to me seeing a cat sleep like this. 

When a cat exposes its belly, it feels very safe and comfortable.  And if she lets you pet her belly, she trusts you a lot.  But careful, that's one of those "pet me three times then I'll bite" places.

As she appears she should.

A lot of odd cat behavior stems from the fact that, although they are consummate predators, due to their size they are also prey.

Yeah I usually get rabbit kicked if I try to rub her belly too long. If it at all 

I still do it. I know he's going to bite me and latch on with all the claws. Don't care. I'm getting some belly rubs.

Went on vacation to Cloudcroft and stopped by this roadside spot with little shop/some animals/fishing ponds. This little dude was about the sweetest rando cat I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Was tempted to load him up for the trip back home.

Derka's last posts reminded me of a recently deceased neighbor cat, Stewart, who favored our porch. His house was across the street, but he'd hang out most days in our patio chairs, look in the windows for our cats & dog, & just generally was a cool dude. Oh yeah, he kept an eye out for Amazon deliveries. 295c6187c23c471c65b7b9146f8a8a17.jpg

8 months old and growing.  21 lbs at present. Will cut you if you look at him wrong.  He's awesome.

Damn, that is a handsome cat--but a killer. 

I had some vermin build a nest in my hot tub housing a few years ago. I set out some rat traps, but they kept getting sprung but no rat death. So I put out of my game cams to get a better idea of the prey. Come to find out it was a big ass rat that I saw on camera first night. Second night I had a pic of a cat that looks like yours crouching and staring at the rat portal on the hot tub. Starting on day 3, I never saw the rat or the cat again. 

Day 4, I hoisted a Belgian tripel in honor of Slayer. Somewhere right now I envision he has a belly full of rat innards and is yolwing at a catacita.

So, our back and side yards are well enclosed and we let our boys roam them mostly at will.  Their murderous tendencies, if any, are thus restrained.

Last night, I was trying to coax Wheezer to come in the house so we could go to bed.  In the course of that "negotiation," I looked down to the far end of the side yard and saw something moving.  Turned out to be an opossum that beat a hasty retreat under the fence.  Wheezer ran toward it, but stopped about halfway.

And at that point, Wheezer did not want to come in, so I let him play for a bit.

After about 15 minutes, I went back out and Wheezer was acting like he had caught something, usually a bug, that he had pinned with his paws and he was looking down at it.

As I got closer, I saw some dark fur, and I was like oh shit and it was a fairly big patch of fur so I thought it was a pretty hefty rat.  Then I saw the tail and realized it was a young opossum that seemed to be, well, playing possum.

I didn't see any injuries or blood so I distracted Wheezer and was kind of chasing him a few steps here and there and I looked back and the young opossum had stood up and I guess was preparing to flee.  I managed to herd Wheezer into the house and hopefully saved the young marsupial.

It seems that playing possum was the perfect move because Wheezer is young enough that hunting and playing are the same thing (as if they ever really grow out of it) and by not reacting to his actions, Wheeze was just kind of looking at it instead of swatting and biting.

Seems maybe the first opossum I saw might have been Mama chasing after a youngun that Wheezer subsequently found.

And pooped in your flowerbed (nttawwt).
If he did I never found it. But he wouldn't let another random cat near our yard. His owner is certifiable & "rescued" so many cats & dogs she damn near had a petting zoo.

Stuart was almost 18 when he passed. Damn good run for an indoor/outdoor cat. He spent at least 15 years checking in on us.052c9f31eb997357724520ab3a783008.jpg
