Shes great, Ive also got this one who has a tail and less fluff and the one who shows her belly when she wants me to stay


here she is watching a raccoon

Raccoons and kitties? Fuck yes.

Smackems is gonna love this.

My cat likes beavers more than raccoons. Then again he's never seen a raccoon.

Correct because it won't let me pet it. Had a red fox watch me pee the other night.

Little bastard wouldn't let me pet it either

Oh hell yeah!

Dont think mine has ever seen a beaver. Maybe they need to have a kitty exchange program so they can see new wildlife.

That is a brilliant idea. Take it to shark tank imo. I'll take it to dragons den and we can both get money.

There's a few spots within walking distance where there's always beavers close to shore at night and he loves watching em paddle around.

I actually just learned today that beavers have such poor eye sight that they can't see a predator if its still and that's how wolves catch beavers. So that explains why they almost never notice him.

Scares the shit out of him when they do slap their tail.

I let my cat outside this morning and I went to let her in and there's a fucking lizard graveyard on my back door. She literally rips them in half. I know cats do that but I want the godamn lizards to kill the bugs around here damnit.

My mom had a cat who left headless frogs on her doorstep back in the day.

My cat when I was growing up left headless mice and shrews on the front patio.

Cats are so awesome they just decapitate shit and say "here ya go fucker hope yer incompetent ass appreciates it."

Right? Its like id love to show appreciation but...

There's a park up high in the mountains and I used to go camping there with a couple friends. We actually just got there one day and sat at this picnic table to drink and this fucking fox jumped right up on the table with us. I was like WHOA. But he wasn't aggressive he just wanted trail mix or doritos, whatever we had at the time. He just sat there with us on the table while we drank and we kept feeding him. Cool little bastard.

Nice.

Thats why I like whiskey jacks. Those birds are tame as shit if you have food.

But foxes are way cooler.

Why don't they drag me up some damn chips ahoy. Then I'd shit my britches with appreciation

Must be so cool to just have a bird in your hand

Did you know oreos predate the chocolate chip cookie by like 30 years?

How is that even possible? Its madness. Also chocolate chip oatmeal are the best imo.

I want my damn hummingbirds back. I have a feeder and a couple weeks ago I saw a couple coming back but I haven't seen them since.

Roadrunners are the next best bet but I live just outside of the city so they're super scared of humans still. At work, they'll walk right up to you and let you feed them.

shockthemonkey posted...

Was it Oreos themselves or was it Hydrox?

I had to look it up but oreos apparently.

The "Oreo Biscuit" was first developed and produced by the National Biscuit Company (today known as Nabisco) in 1912 at its Chelsea, New York City factory in the present-day Chelsea Market complex, located on Ninth Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets

Maybe its a grass is greener thing but we have hummingbirds and to me road runners seem way cooler.

Hummingbirds are awesome though

If you're camping and whiskey jacks are around there's a solid 50/50 chance they'll eat from your hand. They're really sociable birds. If they won't do that they'll still come within 6 inches of you.

You know what?

Imma say it

Oreos can fuck themselves. Chips ahoy 4 LYFE

God damn whaddayaknow

Chocolate chip didnt exist on record until 1938. How did that take so long?

We had fucking cars and radio but not chocolate chip cookies?

---

Roadrunners can be cooler but they don't trust humans unless they're in a city. Plus they probably don't like my cat, which is why i've only seen one around the house recently. I know my cat is too slow to ever catch a hummingbird, and last year I had so many they'd fly right up to me and I almost got them to land on my hand.

I did one time catch a roadrunner going through the trunk of my car as I was bringing in groceries. Fucking weasel took off when I confronted him.

Damn hummingbirds around here are way more sketchy about people.

I think it's because mine are right outside my kitchen window where the feeder is outside. So they see me everyday without ever actually coming into contact. Once I started going outside with them after a while I guess they recognized me and would buzz my head. finally got to a point where I could stand right next to the feeder holding still and they would all still show up and be relaxed feeding.

---

I got a hummingbird feeder up and only seen 2 or 3. I usually get 5 or 6

Vicious little fuckers when they start fighting over the... Nozzles? Sure. Nozzles

---

Yeah I get that too. Usually at least two different families and two will fight for it even though I got 4 feeder spots on this thing. They don't like to share with other families.

I was actually sitting outside one morning with my fiancee and this hummingbird flew right up to me and hovered right in my face. My fiancee almost shit a brick and I was like "nahh they're just telling me the feeder is empty". Sure enough I checked and it was empty.

Good thing you filled it. No telling what that hummingbird was capable of doing if you didn't

---

To be honest they got long needle like beaks. I sometimes fear they just fly right into my eyes and i'd be on the floor in trouble. They can stop on a dime though. My fiancee hadn't seen anything like that before so she was like "WHAT THE FUCK that hummingbird seems to know you". They do, honestly.

I actually eat pretty healthy as is for the most part, probably gotta cut back on the red meat but I already eat a lot of vegetables and chicken/fish. I gotta cut back on my apple and pear habit, I usually eat like 3 a day and they said that much sugar, even though it's natural, can be bad for a newer liver. Probably gonna avoid the cheeseburgers for a bit but I can whore myself off for spinach instead. No alcohol, clearly, and besides that I usually just drink water and stuff.

Not the cheeseburgers
