The fishing cat is a terribly underrated animal.

For some reason as soon as I looked at that, my brain immediately went, "HAHA, FUCK YOU CATFISH." I don't ... I don't know why I had such a violently dickish reaction to that.

…oh my gosh is that a fishing cat with a catfish.

I walked past someone walking their black panther on the street one day in Chicago. I was close enough to see the different shades of black/grey/charcoal and its leopard spots. All the while my lizard brain was screaming, "run away! run away!"

Offhand, it might depend on the species of cat. Domestic cats are descended from the African wildcat (they pretty much just look like large housecats, domestic cats didn't evolve much when compared with wolves —-> dog breeds), which is largely a desert animal. Other wild cats have greatly different habitats than that.

Can someone explain why big cats are totally cool with going into water but their smaller friends just seem to hate it?

You know, most people I've encountered feel this way too — that they "deserve" to pig out and thus eat more crap after working out. But I'm the opposite. When I've gotten a good run in, my endorphins are high and I feel healthy... thus, only want to eat healthy food. I'm less likely to just keep eating because I "feel…

But the females also make a noise like a drunk She-Hulk being violently stabbed when they're in heat. I woke up to this noise once while living by myself in a cabin on the Shenandoah. Was pretty sure I was hearing a murder but was too terrified to get out of bed.

An opportunity for a zoo story! We raised two cougar cubs and they are THE CUTEST BABY ANIMALS EVER. They also chirp like that, and they do it when they see you after an absence, and they also purr, and they have spots, and they have insanely violet-coloured eyes!

I went off Facebook for six months last year when my best friend and I "broke up." It was really freeing, but now that I'm back on, I feel like I have a good balance with the site. The biggest thing was I used to have it on my phone, but when I rejoined I left it off, so now I don't lapse into compulsively checking.…

I am truly sending you compassionate thoughts. I hope you can get some supportive help to reflect on how you direct your energies in the one lifetime you've got. Sometimes we need a little help - there's nothing wrong in having a trusted therapist, or using some medication, to help us achieve the meaningful life we…

That's the stalker's blog! Are you Alisa? I should probably not poke the bear... :/

I don't know about other people's reasonings, but I do it as more of a joke than a real inability to confess that I teared up. If I really didn't want to confess that I got misty, I just wouldn't mention it at all.

for someone telling people to embrace feelings and beauty and connections with humans, you're being a real fucking dick about it.

Yeah... I really dig her stuff, and just went googling for more one day, and was shocked. I think Notaro successfully got a restraining order against her, but I don't think that bars the Internet sludge. The woman is supposedly schizophrenic; it'd explain the dozens and dozens of alt accounts that comment places. …

Wow, that is s0me crazy ass shit.

"You fix your makeup just so, guess you don't know you're beautiful."

I'm going to choose to not find anything wrong (or look for it) with this video. It's sweet and wonderful and my eyes are getting misty for some odd reason.

Yes, it is a bit cliche, but it's a good message to repeat: beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
