Guinea Pigs in general are active little dudes that will either be waddling about their cage to see what they can eat or wheeking their little brains out because they heard a plastic bag crinkle (VEGGIES!!!  is the perfect smilie to express that noise.

Capybaras are plus-sized guinea pigs. They're bigger and are adapted to swamps intead of plains but they similarly go nuts when they think there's something to eat about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaLGdRx7prA&t=61s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o59VcOQeCbM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSU0ZfWQP2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMBzsKU3BH0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RVPvm5kFcM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbi1xa_ONH4 BattleMaster has a new favorite as of 16:22 on Sep 24, 2014 |

Sting rays are odd creatures. A year ago my mother took my son and I to a zoo that involved a place you could pay to pet sting rays. I have, due to being on dialysis, a fistula in my arm which I didn't think about, but creates a far more distinct pulse than in normal arms (even visually). The sting rays thought about it though. While for most the experience was to just put their arm in the water elbow-deep and have the sting rays swim under their hands and not give a crap about what they were brushing against, the vibration in my arm clearly was very interesting, and again and again they would instead swim up to me, then start to climb my arm to check it out. Probably they wondered if the sound was a tasty fish.

Update: I found my kitty cat! She was under my house for a day and a half just lounging about. I just got finished buying more staples for my staple-gun, when I walked into my basement, and I saw a flash of fur staring back at me under the floorboards. Thanks for all the suggestions guys/gals! I thought I lost her for good  I'm gonna go invest in some GPS collars next week.

Somehow the little bugger ended up asleep on a basket of blankets in the linen closet we didn't even remember opening. When we opened the closet after much freaking out, he just opened his sleepy kitten eyes looking up at us like "what?"

My birthday cake from earlier this month And a photo of the two boys that top the cake (ignore the bad set-up, we were using the towel for a backdrop for close ups)  Snickerdoodle (on the left) just got told not to touch it. Louie (on the right) is planning to do just that.

Turns out he was asleep in the closet Haha, apparently I got the only cat known to man who makes his presence known at all times. I got him from a shelter because they said that he was very much a loner, and wouldn't need another cat in the home, or much attention from me. I thought this was great since I'm single, work full time, and have an active social life. Turns out, noooope. Neediest cat I've ever met. Demands my constant attention. He is probably awake 20 hours a day. He's absolutely adorable, but wow, he is a handful. He's tried to escape a couple of times, but luckily the second he steps into the hallway of my apartment building, he just stands their completely still because he has no clue what to do next, so I just pick him up and carry him back inside. Here he is being an absolute spaz, demanding my attention, but letting me know that he will definitely play bite my hands and swat at them if I come near, but I had better come near or he will make sure he meows loudly, get right in my face, and obstruct whatever else my attention is on.

The next day, no Tabitha anywhere. She's known for her Houdini skills so I just KNEW she'd found away out of the apt. Looked all day, cried all day, put up signs. Found her in the little cubby hole at the back of my stacked washer and dryer. A cubby hole painted black. A black cat. The thing is, I'd looked there once before and so had my landlord. She popped out that evening like "what's all this fuss?"

Sometimes one of my cats disappears. We know we've seen her since the last time someone came or went so she IS in the house SOMEWHERE. We'll spend 10-15 minutes looking with no luck. About the time we say "Oh well, I guess she'll come out eventually" she comes sauntering up to us like "Hey, who are we looking for?" What pocket dimension are you hiding in??? Here's a picture of our little Hide and Seek champion

I guess the "Cat thought missing, found later in closet" is a pretty common occurrence. It happened to me too.  A couple years ago a then-coworker of mine was without an apartment for a time so I helped out by taking care of her two cats for a couple months. One of them was barely grown up, curious about everything and somewhat skittish. Then one night I realize my roommate has come home piss-drunk and fallen asleep with his room's door AND his window wide open. I close the window and then immediately realize the younger kitty is nowhere to be seen. I look for a time, getting increasingly agitated, go outside to look for her, ask a couple neighbours I happen by if they've seen her. Nope, nothing. Losing my mind in desperation I start just looking _everywhere_ in the apartment, and sure enough, there she is soundly asleep in my roommate's closet. The door to which wasn't even open except for the tiniest crack. Little bastard. Turns out I still had a picture saved. Look at that smug little twat.

When my friend's cat somehow vanishes into the night (dark house, big black cat), we just shake a bag of treats and he comes wobbling out to get num nums. Side note, it is god damned hilarious watching a 3 legged cat leap over and around poo poo to haul rear end to get CHIKENSES OMG CHIKENSES <--- like that but with cat ears.

Looks like ours who is also a hide and seek rear end in a top hat. She went missing for a week, worried us to death, and we found out later she was trapped in a garage a few houses away. Now we get extra nervous whenever she doesn't come inside right away when called. We'll go looking around the block for her only to find her waiting for us on the porch when we get back.

Little story that I find cute: I have to work late every thursday at my work. Its not bad but it makes the day drag a lot, my house is only a 15 minute walk away so I tend to walk back at around about the same time every week. Every time I have done so since I moved into the new house there has been a very fat cat outside a house just round the corner from mine, and the cat has made a point of coming down off of his step, and sort of rolling around on the ground in front of me. I stayed and stroked him but didn't want to get scratched so didn't go for the belly. Then today I decided to go for it and my god he sounded like a jet engine. He just kept rolling around on the floor purring happily, and when I tried to get up to leave he followed me and placed a paw on my trouser leg as if to say "Not yet mister". Just something I found really sweet, he's a very fat cat and I think he just likes being tickled.
