Pets love to show up like Hello i am Mystery Wet :)
Me: "Cat, why? Where has this tail been?"
Cat: "Perhaps I explored the tub after your shower. Perhaps I sat too close to the sink. Perhaps it is pee. I love our little mysteries."
Will never see eye-to-eye with anyone less than the people who treat their pets like wandering ronin instead of valued family members. Like oh there goes Bronson our uncollared, chipless chocolate lab out of the permanently open back door again. If he comes home in three days after subsisting on garbage we'll be mildly thrilled to see him again but if he succumbs to his natural predator, the 2006 Toyota Camry, that's just the circle of life

also much as i hate to mention the solo movie when chewie introduced han to the wookie they found in the mines his first reaction was to pat hans head like you would when you meet a new dog
To further the analogy of Han is the Dog, According to various canon sources, a Standard Human in the Star Wars universe has a life expectancy of roughly 100-120 years. A Wookie has a life expectancy of around 400 years. So, caring for Han for Han’s whole life is a commitment of less than a quarter of Chewie’s life. It’s like having a dog that lives to 20-22. A long term companion, but one you know you’re probably going to outlive.
When they kill your dog
oh my god

part two of this thing………….. almost a year later, hey thanks
Getting real tired of my roommate attacking my feet from under the bed.
I’m tired of my roommate licking my shins.
My roommate sat on my face three times last night, and when she had decided I was in fact awake, she ran out of the room and screamed in my general direction, her favourite toy at her feet and an expectant glean in her eye.
My roommate is getting fat because she goes and begs food from the neighbours and then comes home and wants me to make food for her too.
My roommate patrols the property several times during the night and walks over me every time he comes back to bed.
At night my roommate wanders around the apartment, yelling at nothing, and then snuggles up with me and proceeds to lick my armpit.
My roommate steps on my breasts to get to the other side of my bed, then sleeps against me like a pillow.
My roommates had to move out because of allergies, but I have neighbors who sleep on the top step of our porch, and it’s really awkward getting outside without waking them. One of our neighbors is constantly jumping people, and every time I’m out doing yardwork she sits on my shoulders.
My roommate is great at snuggling, but she always sits on a pile of plastic bags and yells at me.
My roommate like to follow me around apartment. And when I start cooking, she’ll sit down and stare at me with big eyes.
My roommate just laid an egg (*again*) in the kitchen cupboard.
My roommate keeps jumping on my desk and making me look at her butt.
Always and forever.
Are you guys ever dumbfounded by the impossibility of life with animals? I just was. This exact thought ran through my head:
“I live in a house with four carnivores of varying sizes, and all of them are sitting here next to me because they want my pita chips.”
attention @ everyone who cares about animals!!!!!!!!!!
tl;dr: do NOT buy this brand of flea medicine. always do research before buying any kind of medication for your animals.
my boyfriend bought this at petsmart for our cat and when we put it on her, she started licking it bc i guess i accidentally placed it too low and he got worried so we’ve been on google to find out if it’ll harm her. we found some scary stuff.
it doesn’t happen to every cat that this product is used on, but there are reports of this product seriously hurting cats. it burns their skin and can be very painful. the screenshots above are reviews from amazon for the one in the blue box. the one we used is the one in the purple box.
some cats had reactions right away while others took a few hours. we put this on our cat about an hour ago (washed it off of her soon after) and she seems fine but we’re so worried about what could happen. even if nothing happens, this is a chance we never would had taken if we’d known.
ALWAYS RESEARCH BEFOREHAND. i can’t believe petsmart has this on their shelves after everything people have said about it. please spread the word by sharing this post! protect ur pets. a simple google search could have stopped all these cats from getting hurt.
Don’t buy anything but front line. I learned this lesson once long ago. :/
Looking at the 1-star average reviews here? The dog version doesn’t sound any safer, either. Lots of reports of neurological symptoms and other really bad reactions to the Sentry spot on products.
Don’t buy anything Hartz either…unless you want a dead cat/dog! :(
Signal boost this!!
PSA for Hurricane Irma Victims about their pets!!!!
Them: Oh you don’t want this cat. He’s wild and he bites everyone and he’ll never just sit nicely in your lap. He’s a project cat.
Me: That’s okay, I’m a project person.
Two weeks later:
He won’t leave.
Tell us your secret oh great kitty whisperer.
Step one: let him hide or shy away from you if he wants to. He wouldn’t let me touch him for a couple days after we got back from the shelter. It was more important that he felt comfortable than that I touched him.
Step two: make yourself nonthreatening. In my case this meant being very quiet, bringing food and lying down on the ground within his eyesight as an invitation to investigate.
Step three: watch his body language and don’t do things that make him uncomfortable. Turns out my cat often bit when he was overstimulated so I made sure not to overwhelm him.
Step four: draw lines, but not with brute force. Even though his biting wasn’t meant to hurt, it was eventuallto be harmful. So I decided when he bit me, I’d yelp “ow!” And then withdrew all physical contact for a few minutes, sometimes leaving the room.
Step four: provide a good outlet for destructive behaviors. Aka PLAY WITH HIM, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
Step four: be patient.
Step five: get lucky and somehow pick up the best cat in the entire shelter. I don’t know how it happened but he’s a godsend. He’s literally cuddled me out of a panic attack. We both really needed each other.
I can 100% vouch for Lying On The Floor as a great way to get a nervous cat to come over to you. Just lie on the floor and do not move. Often, their curiosity will win out over their fear once you are no longer looming over them. I first tried this when I was a teenager briefly staying at a motel that had an abundance of feral cats roaming the grounds. I was told they did not allow humans to approach them, and sure enough, they ran and hid when I came near. I tried just lying very still on the ground and within about 10 minutes there were kittens SWARMING around me. (And a couple mama cats hovering nearby keeping an eye on things.) It was an Experience. So many kittens.
In the dog world, humans are elves that routinely live to be 500+ years old.
“They live so long…but the good ones still bond with us for our entire lives.”
“These immortals are so kind we must be good friends to them”
My heart wtf
Not gonna lie, this fucked me up a bit.
POV Fantasy slice of life book when?
“Now I am old. The fur around my muzzle is grey and my joints ache when we walk together. Yet she remains unchanged, her hair still glossy, her skin still fresh, her step still sprightly. Time doesn’t touch her and yet I love her still.”
Oh, God.
Mother of god…..
