Pictures of Your Animal Friends

Ha ha...I didn't get eaten by a bear. I did go out and couldn't find any reason for the ruckus. They continued for a good hour and a half and then finally stopped. Strange.
 
I wish I could upload a video from my iphone to here but I don't think it's an option with Tapatalk. I taped the crazies because they are at it again...I'm going to put it on my FB page, lol.
 
This is Riley. I posted about him a few years ago, thinking he was a stray. Turns out he lives behind me, two houses down. He had half the neighborhood feeling sorry for him. After awhile we found out that we had all been feeding him, thinking he didn't belong to anyone, lol. It's not a great picture...I couldn't get him to stay still. He kept trying to rub against me. But he's a handsome fellow and apparently very smart!

Cats are so sneaky :D

Ted will only eat Royal Canin, a high end brand of kibble, so half the neighbourhood cats come in at night to steal it. My mum can't block up the cat flap because my brother's cat, Pepper, likes to come in and out at night. So now she's moved the bowls into her bedroom to deter the cats from taking it - some of them still try!

Caught mouse number 2! :) I love this thing, lol. Not sure why I'm so happy...I mean, I obviously have multiple mice (unless the same one is coming back in...maybe I should try and put a little red dot on him or something so I'll know, lol) and there are three cats living here...:hmm:
 
I was requested to post some more pics of Kalki, so here he is with best friend Arjuna in the background. Arjuna has special glowing eyes for the Hallowe'en season.

Kalki is now six months old, and if he was in a conventional farm he would have been slaughtered for meat by now. This is the stage where his personality, likes, dislikes, fears and pleasures start to emerge. Developmentally he is a teenager, just finding his own identity away from the protection of his mother and working out where he fits in with his family and friends. He is sexually potent and could become a father, although most cows wouldn't tolerate the advances of an immature bull - doesn't stop him trying to mount Arjuna's mum! Most male calves don't get to experience any of that, they don't even get to experience the love of their mums. Although he will work the land, probably with Arjuna as his companion, he will enjoy the physical exercise and the mental stimulation and it is certainly preferable to death.

I know I'm preaching to the choir but sometimes when I see these young boys it really makes me think about this stuff.
 
These photos are a few years old; Mr. Scraggly (as we called him) showed up one day and kept coming back. So, we started feeding him and he was a scraggly-looking dude so we figured he was a stray. He was hanging out with us for a couple months until one day a lady and her young daughter showed up "Oh my gosh, there's Vince!" - these people live on the street behind us, a few houses down. We can see their house from ours lol. Turned out that Vince was an older cat and some of the other younger cats that they have would bug him sometimes so he'd wander off for a few days and then come back. I guess they weren't figuring on him liking our food or attention better than theirs. He was fun to have around. I still get visits from one of their other cats quite regularly.

He's not exactly a friend but I didn't know where else to put this.

Not, particularly, a fan of octopuses (octopi?) but this is pretty darned cute.
The fact that the mom keeps guard for two months and then usually dies from starvation, not so cute. :(
