The Animals That Aren't Dogs or Cats Thread

"Here kitty, kitty. Holy f' in SHIT!!!"
 
This ain't nüthin',

Billi, a 13-year-old domestic cat in Florida, presses a button that voices the word "dog" — twice.

She proceeds to sit as if she's waiting for her human parent, Kendra Baker, to respond.

"Dog outside, hmm?" Baker asks Billi, via the buttons. A few minutes later, Billi presses another button for "tummy," twice.

"Accident or premeditated murder? You decide," Baker writes on the caption of the video on Instagram.

We're not sure, but we saw what might have been a mountain lion pawprint at the new place where we took the dogs hiking during the week. It was big, and my mom said she didn't think it was shaped like a dog print, so she thought it was either a mountain lion or a bear. We're pretty far south for a bear, so a mountain lion is more likely.
I'll have to keep all of this in mind if we see one out there.

It could also be a bobcat.
 
I live on a densely forested mountain that's a (mostly) untouched ecosystem for just about any and every animal found in the mid-Atlantic region, so these are some of my "neighbors"...

Except for unfortunate but necessary deer culling no one hunts or traps here - it's private land - so the wildlife flourishes, and because they're all used to people and we're used to them we all just stay out of each other's way...

It's a nice system of détente, and no one has been attacked or hurt here in well over a century !

The bears still make me a little nervous, though, when I see one, but I just back away slowly and they lumber off to find more berries... :shifty:
 
Lot of things can throw it off, the ground it was on, the animal walking a bit off, how fast it was going, something stuck to the foot , light angle, etc.

When you looked it up, were you looking at the photographs, of tracks in different terrain- muddy, sandy, gravels, plant litter, etc or diagrams?
 
I tried to find photos of prints in dirt that was the closest to what the one we saw was in.
She said the shape of the back pad was totally different from the ones in the pictures I found on Bing.
