The squeak is to replicate the death squeals of prey, which is quite a different vibe

I didn't realize this until I saw a video of two wolf cubs playing with a live field mouse. Was exactly like a dog with a squeak toy.
We had a baby squirrel in a tree in our backyard that made the exact sounds that our dog's squeaky toy made.
You should see videos of farm dogs. Rolling hay and dogs just ragdolling rats.
I'll never forget the time my dog caught a live bird 🫠
If you think for a second those squeaks aren't a drug to dogs then you've never met my dogs
Those squeaks are a VERY accurate depiction of the sound many small animals would make as your dog “plays” with them.
Absolutely. It's freaky how similar it sounds when you hear it in person when a dog finds a litter of baby bunnies, or the cat finds some mice.
Had a cat who had tooth problems. She stopped hunting because of it. After treatment, she became so happy, I could hear her chirps outside from my room. The birds weren't happy about it. Luckily, she became almost tooth and fangless, so I had been able to save the birds each time after.
Male cats are lazy as fuck, and don't hunt. At least mine didn't. But that one tortie was a menace...
If you put food in their bowl and leave them inside you don’t have to worry about your little genocide machine hunting the birds at all
Do you hate cats?
Do you hate birds?
Do you hate?
Do you?
No, I actually love mine and take good care of them. Including supervising them when they’re outside and not letting them roam free.
What you’re misunderstanding is I’m a responsible cat “owner”
Hope this helps.
Aww look he's making friends
Is it weird for my cat to not like catnip? She totally avoids it.
Not all cats are affected by it
Many cats that aren’t affected by catnip are affected by silver vine in a similar way. Possible your cat is affected by catnip and doesn’t like it though.
Mine is the same. Doesn't care for catnip but goes bonkers for silver vine (particularly the fried fruits) and valerian.
Check for X's on the back of her paws, she might be straight-edge.
Goddamn, that joke is terrible. Well done, op, I'm proud of you!
Colors?!
Right? So weird.
Unexpected.
The shirt has been blue this whole time?!
