This isn’t just tigers obviously but I think it’s amazing how even though they aren’t the same species they recognise each other as a part of the cat family and play as they would with their own kin! So cute
This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life.
I like how you can see the difference of a jaguar and an African leopard right next to each other *_*
I love how that one lion just walks right on in and flops into the pile
i love how the ancestor of the modern housecat (the middle eastern wildcat) literally just looks like an angry tabby with more leg
we domesticated dogs because they wete useful but we domesticated cats because theyre beautiful.
we domesticated them because they eat disease-causing vermin
cats domesticated themselves because it’s easier than living alone
haha schooled losers
me: cats arent domesticated
It’s more fair to say cats domesticated humans. Generally we used them for pest control through out history as well as used them as cuddly pets. Cats who moved into early human settlements gets a lot more from just being around us.
-we worked like guard dogs. Where we were, larger predators were not. Not only did this increase the cat’s food supply from lack of competition but it kept kittens safe while mom hunted, a luxury not afforded in the wild.
-we were a food source. Mice, rats, and other rodents are great at hiding in the wild. They are much less good at hiding on clear ground or well lit granaries. So the dumb littler prey animals flocked to the early humans who gathered up their staple grains in big hard to seal silos. This was a buffet to cats. During lean times like winter, early humans were happy to toss their scraps and bones to the cute little predator who shared their space.
-humans provided ear scratches, very important.
-humans are waste disposal units. humans don’t like poop or hair balls and rotting bones just sit around. We are great at making dry buildings that keep the worst of nature at bay. Very comfy living space for kitty.
-They have learned to talk to us. Adult cats don’t meow at each other…. but they do meow at us. One of the only animals that have learned human only noises, they have learned that meowing gets our attention and makes us do things. Like work the can opener. Meow is less a greeting and more of a “high ho silver, lets get moving”.
“Humans provide ear scratches, very important” – I’m pretty sure that is the only reason my three keep me around…
He is a fantastic author and illustrator who has created a great deal of strange and unsettling books.
I have heard rumours before that he was asexual, but they were just
that—rumours.
But recently, I was reading a collection of his interviews, and then:
A few questions later:
And in another interview:
Edward Gorey clearly knows what’s up.
He’s been dead for a number of years, but the fact that such an amazing
person was actually asexual makes me happy, and I wanted to share my
findings. 🙂
Saw this on my dash, and I thought Id put it on here, in case anyone is interested! I guess I kinda wanted to show that there are people out there who are like you and us ❤
On April 8, 2014, Philadelphia Zoo welcomed three new little ones to their home as a Black-footed Cat named Aza gave birth to an adorable litter of kittens. The first ever Black-footed Cats ever born at the zoo, the kittens— named Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion—are little, black-footed felines native to southern Africa.
