I've been wondering about baby turtles. Does the shell grow along with them? Or do they shed it once in a while?

That kind of pic gets funnier after you find out that Khajit in Elder Scrolls can also look like regular cats, and not just the anthro kind you see in the games(they can also end up as big cats as well)

I'm aware it's not a problem because of the packaging, but don't they get in trouble with the health inspection for this?

When I was a kid, my sister who in general has no redeeming features, rescued a dog that was in a similar condition (and disposion despite the neglect). People who rented a trailer from the folks opposite our house had got a poodle for their 3 year old, to teach the child responsibility. She was given exclusive care over this dog. It was as grown out, matty, and emaciated as you might imagine -- sometimes it would break free of its rope and end up in our yard, sleeping in my dog's bed or playing in our yard with my dog's toys. It was really, really affectionate. One of the times when it escaped, my sister was over, and was shocked at the condition of the dog (and that my dad would not do anything about it -- he was one of those 'well, dogs take their chances person', or, as they are more formally known, a dickhead).

Anyway, she went over to their house and offered to take the dog for free since they weren't interested in it. Oh no! Said the dad. That's our little girl's dog. It's her responsibility.

My sister gave up after a while, but the next time she was over, she went back to their house and offered them $100 for the dog (this was around 1975 or so. She wasn't going to gently caress around and figured daddy would sell the kid for $100).

She got the dog all cleaned up, and turned out it was a he -- dog lived like a spoiled king the rest of his life, really good natured and funny as hell (he learned to ride my nephew's boogie board down the beach).

One of my best cats was one I took in from a neglectful neighbour. Mr Nuts practically lived at my house anyway, and when they moved away and left him behind, well yeah. They came back a week later to finish cleaning up the house and the wife demanded him back. The husband had the grace to look embarrassed when I quarreled with her, then Mr Nuts came wandering up the street. The husband said, 'Well, you each call him, and whoever he goes to, he belongs to.' She started calling and cajoling him. I said, 'Nuts, get your arse over here.'

I like stories of people who rescue pets (even though I still think my sister is a tosser of the highest order).

I'm sensing that you have unresolved issues with your family.

That actually is cute in the sense that is disinterested on their owner. I mean, I'm assuming that it has no effect on milk production or meat tenderness.

You assume incorrectly. Happy cows make more milk, the dairy industry has been moving towards keeping the cows as happy as possible for production reasons. Which, IMO, is every bit as cute and good all the same.

Last summer, my stepmom went to go let him out in the morning. Of their three cats, Sam is the only one who's allowed outside unsupervised, because outdoor cats in the woods lead short lives, but it's hard to turn a previously feral cat into a 100% indoor cat. Too late she realised there was a bear sniffing around in their carport, and tried to close the door, but Sam bolted. He leapt, snarling, onto the bear's back, and sank all his claws and teeth into it. The bear panicked and tried to run, Sam rode it down the driveway, it crashed through some juniper bushes and tried to leap the fence, failed in this but managed to break the fence and shake Sam loose, it got up and clambered over and took off through the neighbour's property at a run, probably off to poo poo itself in the woods.

Sam came back to the house extremely pleased with himself. We're talking black bear, not grizzly, but still. He got extra treats that day.

He is a good catte.

Cats are scared of everything except bears for some reason.

People say cats are stupid, but I think they've got human constructions figured out pretty well compared to other animals. You rarely see them running into glass doors, either.

I think it's true that they're the friendliest cats. They should do research on that. My parents' orange cat you can manhandle all you like, he will never lift a paw to defend himself.

A friend of mine tells a story of an uncle who rescued a cub and kept him as he grew up. The boys of the family would wrestle with the bear as a cub, and he learned that wrestling with men was fun. Fast forward to a grown brown bear, women could enter his pen safely, but men would risk playful flesh wounds in the name of fun.

I'm surprised a bear can tell human men and women apart.

the only problem is you cant put an outdoor cat on a diet, these motherfuckers go house to house eatin snacks

I was just about to post this. My parents recently moved, and they've already had neighbors asking around if the 'very friendly ginger tabby' that's been hanging around their house belongs to anyone. It's their cat, of course.
