Post your Pet or animal Pics (Part 1)

Classic foster fail, right?
She’s awfully cute, but then what kitten isn’t. She has a highly developed prey instinct for a semi-orphaned kitten and hasn’t learned much in the way of cat manners, which Alpha Cat and I are starting to teach her.
Thing is, we already have three cats, which is the maximum you can have before it starts to veer into crazy cat lady territory. Also, so much litter box …
But we’ll see…

@BakaNeko Her foster daddy calls her Blue Moon, which we’ve shortened to Blue.

Can confirm. Three is the limit.

I can only add to the “three is max” comments (which I know isn’t helpful) but having had a bad catshit weekend, THIS.

When someone sits in the box but shits outside it it’s a little bit depressing, but when you don’t see it and swing the laundry door open and smear it all over the floor… Well….

That’s Sub-optimal.

Oh yuck. We have two big dudes who like to pee standing up. They were just tall enough to pee over the lip of the high-sided box onto the wall. I ended up buying new boxes with super high sides. They also make gigantic stinky poo. Good thing they are so cute.

Sometimes when I’m changing out the litter, two of them will get in to “christen” the new litter at the same time!

We have 4 to 5 cats at any given time and had the same problem. We bought some storage containers and made our own. We have two of these in the laundry room.

While I was typing this she demanded some attention. Now I have to stay in my recliner for a while.

Not my pics, but thought you might find them interesting. I noticed when the red-bellied woodpecker was at the feeder and calling, it looked like it had a stick stuck in its mouth. Thusly I learned about the amazing tongues of woodpeckers.
Theirs are barbed:

They impale grubs and reel them back in from inches under bark:

And they’re so long that they wrap back up around the skull when retracted! (the thin white thing):

Evening crazies with the foster kitten (see the tiny claws!):


(I took her to pickup at Kiddo’s school, and I suspect at least six kids are telling their parents tonight that they need this kitten.)
