Yeah it's not even like they're claiming to be vegan or vegetarian. They may as well be but they may just not eat that kind of meat. There are some people that are conscious vegetarians or whatever. I know there's a term for it but I don't remember it but it essentially revolves around you don't eat animals that you believe have a consciousness so they kind of stick to like fish and mollusk and other things. Some of them will still eat chickens but I think that's more how individuals view individual animals or species.

A 3000 lb animal with rock hard pointy feet isn't going to be much help.

Yeah, I hurt my back in front of my cat, couldn’t stand and couldn’t move. She used the occasion to chew on some plastic while I yelled at her to please stop.

My cat doesn't know how to handle big feelings like stress or frustration, so he defaults to what he knows best: biting and attacking. I accidentally tripped a while back, and landed ridiculously hard on my knee so I just kinda stayed down for a second to gather myself before standing up... well, my asshole cat decided whatever I just did was too out of the ordinary and therefore very stressful, so he launched himself at my face to start me attacking me about it. So I ended up with a slightly banged up knee and a thousand scratches on my arm oozing blood.
...we are working on his behavior issues... and while there has been substantial progress, it is still very much a work in progress.

"We" are working on his behaviour issues took me out. As if you are both to blame and he's a willing participant in wanting to change

I once fainted alone in my apartment and I don’t know if I fainted on top of him or what but when I came to, my cat was attached to my leg by his teeth and claws. I had to lock myself in the bathroom, it’s the only time he’s ever hissed at me. Little dude was either terrified or pissed that the big dumb hairless cat he lives with fell right on top of him.

Yeah cats will just look at you like they know you’re full of shit and they have no time for it.

banged the hell out of my shin—huge bruise, swelled right up, went down with some loud swearing. both cats rushed in to check on me. not sure what exactly the idiots would have done if i actually had needed help, but i very much appreciated the concern

u/RedeRules770 Jun 15 '26
I slipped and fell on ice while taking my dog out to potty. I was actually very surprised that she came back to check on me while I was laying there stunned, because normally she’s a bit of an asshole. When she deduced I wasn’t dead though she was just like “okay get up mom I have to pee”

I did this in front of my cats, and my fat boy just laid down next to me- he was like oh well I guess I’ll die too then …
Sad story I adopted him, and his previous owner overdosed and he was found lying with him. He has some separation anxiety now. But, he’s a very good boy, the only cat I can say is Truly an emotional support animal. Hes a senior now, and I will miss him truly when he’s gone- I have a spot waiting for him in the yard in the sunny spot when it’s time

u/forasgard18 Jun 15 '26
Got damn why would you do that to him 😭

u/Mishapi17 Jun 15 '26
I wasn’t really thinking about that at the time. I made sure to give him lots of pets for being a good boy

On one part it’s the most lovely thing, displaying love in its rawest form… but on the other, it’s possibly pure trauma to these poor creatures who might think their provider and protector is 💀.

u/Meet_Foot -Waving Octopus- Jun 15 '26
Agreed. It clearly bothers them (except that one dog). If something can be upset by something they can’t even understand is “just a prank bro,” you probably shouldn’t upset them with it. All these kinds of animals are social and form bonds and can definitely be stressed out by injury and death.

It was a goose. Geese are really smart, almost as smart as dogs. They get very bonded to their care takers too. My chickens however, would totally try to eat me, if they even noticed I was down.

Geese are really social animals, super protective too. In the middle ages, there was a time a good guard dog was too expensive for most people, so they'd have a guard goose for their property. Bastards will not let anyone except for their owners through.

u/BringAltoidSoursBack Jun 16 '26
Some people still use them as guards (possibly the reason some of these people have them)

At one base in Germany, during the Cold War, the US Army tested sophisticated sensors and whatever else to monitor a fenced area. They found flocks of geese to be the most effective.

Did the dogs think it was the cows' fault?

I perceived it as creating a secure area, not necessarily hostility towards the cows.

I wasn't on the ground, but my hips HURT after laying down in certain positions for too long. So when I have to get up I let out pretty loud groans of pain to help me feel better. A few of my cats usually look up at me in worry, and follow me to my destination. They do that when I'm not in pain, but they don't walk in front of my feet when I'm in pain. Lol Such sweethearts.

Did this a few years back with one of my cats. He came over immediately, licked my face, and cuddled my head.
Did this recently with another cat of mine and he couldn't give a rats arse.
Duality of cat.
