The pets thread!

[OrigamiOwl]

D....Dolly...I think you're doing it..uh...not quite according to the Blessed Felines Manual...
Although, to be fair, she has never seen a real mouse before, and probably thought it was just a very unexciting squeaky toy. :/ (Which, she never tries to chew or majorly claw...she just likes to chase them until she gets tired)

(Fenris's mouser cats would be so ashamed -__-)

I didn't know that I can spend so much time looking at someone's pets!
They are all so sweet and nice, and I'm so jealous. Because I myself - owner of the monster.
Here it is - hyperactive beast with a terrible temper.
This rascal knows how to hide. I'm scared to death every time my plaid begins to hiss and try to bite me.

I have no idea how to write her name. Something like Yuzhik. It's an ancient word meaning roughly "little sister."

AWWWWWWAWAWAWAW! OuO For a naughty rum'un (hopefully I haven't been using this word wrong my whole life o__o) she's pretty cute XD

Awwwwwwww...

It's okay, that means the mouse probably isn't evil.

Is that mouse still alive?  Is it cuddled up next to Dolly?  (In which case, more than one animal in that photo is Doing It Wrong...)

Also, I gather Dolly is a big cat... so that must be a pretty good-sized mouse!

Regardless of being mean, she's a very pretty cat!

This is the main problem: she looks like a nice cat.
But, whenever friends come to me ...
The Friend: What a cute kitty! (trying to pat)
I, two minutes later: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! (trying to treat friend's terrible wounds)

Awwwww, so lovely!
It seems that this mouse has never faced with cats before.

That was exactly my thought - I was like "That's a mouse? I thought it was a rat!"

Well, they're hardly the first ones to up-end the food chain.

Ah - I bet they lean forward with wide-open eyes. That's an aggression-sign in cats, and they don't like it. Many cats learn to tolerate it, but some are more in touch with their inner wildcat and can't stand it. If you want them to make friends, tell them to half-close their eyes - like cats do when they are making friends, or a person with a cat allergy might. Guess why cats are drawn people who have cat allergies? Because they tend to pull their heads back and half-close their eyes so they look like friendly cats!

(Most great apes are the same - wide-open eye-contact between strangers is a challenge, and as a consequence humans stress them out badly.)

So this little smug thing decided to lie down over both of my legs and I haven't been able to move for about an hour:

The most adorable trap. 
Beg for mercy and give it a treat, it's your only hope.

Alas, I was lying on my stomach, so I couldn't reach her, even less reach a treat of any kind.

I'll help.  As long as we swing by Tasmania and scoop up OrigamiOwl's derp-kitties.  (Maybe that mouse too, as long as it is a mouse and not a feral guinea pig.)
(Oh wait, I like feral guinea pigs too.)

This is my dad's dog, George, whom I was with today:

I see he's not quite young already, but he looks kind  Reminded me of our dog, who has sadly passed away many years ago.
