Oh wow, what a great community. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted to see 🙃
Oh you!
Doesn’t work on Voyager lmao.
Nor Avelon.
It’s been a long time since someone got me. Well done.
You broke my anti Rick roll detections.
All Cats Are Beautiful
Oh, so that’s what ACAB means. ^/s
ACAB, but also ACAB.
Ooooh, big stretch.
Nah, it seems pretty accurate to me
Cats are just tiny tigers that live in your house
Actually tiny lions. House cats will form pide like social structures.
Not really, tbh. Cats will sometimes form colonies given enough resources and mothers will help eachother raise young. But you’ll never see something like the group predation that lions take part in. Cats are largely more similar to the rest of the felids than they are to lions
I mean, I like the picture, bit you could have a cat a squirrel a coyote and a horse all doing this and say all animals are the same. It’s kind of just how quadrupeds stretch.
While true, it’s also true that cats of all sizes behave very similarly. Cheetahs are probably the least similar to the other cats.
If you’ve had pet cats and gotten to know their behavior, it’s remarkable how familiar the behavior of big cats can be.
I have a friend who did her college internship at a zoo. She mostly worked in the big cat unit. As expected the lock out procedure for entering an enclosure was very strict.
One day a maintenance man was in the cheetah enclosure on a ladder and some how the cheetah was not properly locked out. It came over to the ladder and started rubber on it. The terrified maintenance man just waiting for the cheetah to knock the ladder over and eat him.
As soon a the cheetah keeper saw this they quickly come into the enclosure, scruffed the cheetah and dragged away. Cheetahs are a little special.
Spelling
This is probably just my layperson showing, but I honestly wouldn’t be all that afraid of a cheetah. If I were in that situation in any other big cat habitat I would be absolutely terrified. Smaller cats like lynx I wouldn’t really be afraid for my life but I would be fearful of attack and injury.
Cheetah I wouldn’t really feel much fear, more just confusion about what I’m supposed to do. They really don’t have the same cat software that all the others have. Much more chill.
Yeah they are definitely running a light version of cat 2.0
Apparently in the wild it is very possible for many cheetahs have brain damage. Basically they run so fast they can raise their body temperature above a save temperature for brain tissue. On the hunt this limiting factor for how long they can run. So it is very possible that over many huts they have a few less brain cells then when they were born.
Cheetahs are quite a bit more fragile since they’re optimized for speed. Any injury could hamper their ability to hunt, so as a result they’re more skittish and flighty than the other big cats. In zoos they often raise cheetahs alongside dogs, giving them a service animal of sorts so they are calmer around the weird hairless monkeys and don’t get stressed out as much.
I’m not sure it’s anatomically possible for a horse to stretch that way without injuring itself.
Nope horses can stretch like that. They just can’t go as deep because of limitations on joint mobility. I have seen it quite commonly.
I’ve seen mini horses get pretty low stretching like a cat. They seem more flexible than the full sized guys but maybe it’s cuz they’re supporting less weight.
Couldn’t say for sure. It might have something to do with whether they are mini horses or ponies. There is actually a difference, I don’t remember the exact differences of the top of my head, but it has to do with body proportions.
Yeah, these were mini horses. I think mini horses have the same proportions of big horse(just tiny) whereas ponies tend to have their own proportions that are bit different.
The mini horses I’ve seen are flexible as hell though. Bend themselves in half to scratch an itch on flank with their teeth.
If not friend why friend shaped?
Dogs do this too…
Cats are better at it.
My dog is better at it because he is the best dog.
Cats of all sizes doing downward dog.
I don’t get the joke… why did you post four identical pictures?
My dog is a cat?
Confirmed, my wife is a cat.
My girlfriend does a yoga pose like that every morning so can confirm 😂
Give her scritches!
I’ll do that and say it’s from you 😘😂
You dog
The downward cat.
Big cat just a big cat, more at 11
Yoga is a global phenomena
You mean elevator butt?
That pose is actually closer to Downward Dog but hey whatever works best for you
Elevator butt it is, then
They all look so happy doing it too. Eeeeeeee
