Mine spooks like this, sometimes with a strike out towards the scary thing too, imo it’s probably the “safest” way to spook on roads because they don’t spin/move out/run off/change direction, just…stop and drop a few inches. It jars the hell out of my back though!

Any concerns about his eyesight/depth perception?

You can train them not to go on worktops while a human is looking :P

When I see this title in the thread list my brain keeps reading "walkers" as the much ruder version where the "l" is an "n" :D

I no longer ride but thought these deals were too good to not share! Sport Pursuit has loads of Le Mieux, all at least 40% off and mostly >50% off here: https://www.sportpursuit.com/sales/lemieux-horsewear-jul25 It may ask you to sign in/up before you can see the sale items, sorry about that...

Very tame to compared to most of this thread, but Boy Cat just finished his (fish) breakfast, jumped up on the arm of the sofa, and burped right in my face 🤢🤮. Vile beast.

The only breeders I’ve found with a gene pool that’s a proper pool and not a puddle are generally based in the USA and I couldn’t put a kitten through the trauma of an international flight in good conscience. One thing to be aware of in a lot of bloodlines, both modern and old-style, is...

I had one that I inherited from my father-in-law. She was an old-fashioned type and lived to approx 22yo -- very healthy and robust until her kidneys gave up the ghost. She ruled the household with an iron paw and was a pretty difficult cat to get along with unless she decided you were her...

You can read this article without the paywall here: https://archive.is/uYTqM It made me want to vomit so I don’t recommend reading it, but it’s also an important glimpse into what can happen to these exploited children as they get older. I can only hope that some parents who are following the...

Mine used to spook by dropping what felt like 4ft - it always used to set off the emergency fall alarm on my smart watch and would jar the hell out of my spine!

🤣🤣 the irony! The #bekind crew are the worst, they just use it as a socially acceptable shorthand for "shut up, woman, you're saying things I don't like". It's used to silence people and to pressure them to ignore bad behaviour, and has very strong misogynistic undertones.

I'm placing my bet that their customer data was all stored on a central AWS instance, and someone c*cked up the security/IAM permissions on it.

I’m also in tech and agree it’s unacceptable. This level of delay sounds like they’ve been ransomwared and they don’t have good backups to restore from (or the backups weren’t sufficiently isolated and also got locked).

Yep it’s real - the dog “handlers” (debatable) were fostering the pups for a Mal charity, both pups had a bite history, and the fosterers were aware that they both reacted badly to the sound of wheels on wet surfaces. All freely available info via their Facebook pages! One of the dogs was...

A lot of cars have drain holes around the sunroof and these can get blocked, if you google the make and model you may find some advice about getting it unblocked :)
