it’s no longer acceptable to pretend like you haven’t seen the various studies on why it’s not only harmful to your cat to live outside, but to many native animals. keep your cat inside, or leave it outside and know that you are leaving your cat vulnerable to attacks, disease, car strikes and more, and that your cat is killing off vulnerable native animals.

more people should have cambrian era animals as fursonas. especially if they design them the same way sparkledogs look. i just want to see art of a rainbow anomalocaris holding hands with an edgy hallucigenia

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)
and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger
and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!
yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!
EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!
