Why? They all fit. I imagine they have plenty of other places to go- maybe they know how beautiful they look in the light, maybe they just had lunch and are waiting 20 minutes before they swim, or they’re waiting on some friends.

Sorry to be a bit of a wet blanket, but that cage is WAY to small for that bunny. Just saying
Janine B. 2 years ago
I don't think it's in there all the time. I had bunnies for many years and also two big cages. They could roam free all the time but preferred to sleep / eat in the (open) cages. Wild rabbits live in caves so I guess a cage and cave-like places make them feel comfortable. And they had a small potty cage as they are very clean animals. :)

I'd assume he's not in the cage all the time, hence why the cat is in there while he's not. It totally could be a travel cage too

Pets are known for their playful and often goofy behavior that brings joy and chuckles to their owners. These silly acts can appear cute at first. However, according to J. Cutler, while your pet may just be excited or acting silly, these behaviors can definitely be a sign that something might be up with your pet. “If your pet has a sudden change in their behavior, you should first check with your veterinarian to make sure that there isn’t a medical reason for the change.
A lot of the silly behaviors we see have been rewarded by people in the past, either with attention or praise, or possibly even treats or play.
New behaviors that are repetitive in nature, or that have signs of stress associated with them, are of concern. A behavior professional or your veterinarian can give you advice on how to approach helping your pet with these.”

If you’re a pet owner, you might’ve encountered some behavioral challenges with your beloved animals. From incessant barking to destructive chewing, pets can exhibit behavior that may be annoying or concerning. However, with the right approach, these challenges can be effectively addressed. J. Cutler shared some common things that can cause behavior challenges in pets:
- “Training issues - basic manners and training are important for many households. Training classes can be very helpful, but there are also many resources available online to train certain behaviors.
- Accidentally rewarding behavior we don’t want - oftentimes we’ve accidentally rewarded behavior we’d prefer our pets didn’t do. For example, giving attention when your pet is whining, barking or meowing, so they continue to do that. To fix this, stop rewarding behavior you don’t want and teach an alternate behavior that they should do instead.
- Fear or anxiety - these can result in many behavior problems, from aggression to separation anxiety to barking or meowing. Simply stopping the behavior does not help to fix the problem, it’s important to work on the underlying emotion and help to change that while managing the behavior. Guidance from a professional such as a behaviorist or behavior consultant is recommended.”

I see someone who is not getting anywhere near the car until it's taken a dip in the river lol. That's what my friend makes her lab do anyway although she's never got that muddy. It may be her goal in life though.
The surroundings can play a big role in the way your animal feels and acts. J. Cutler shared that environment can have a huge impact on animal behavior. “Having enough mental and physical enrichment in your pets’ environment is important for their well-being. Many animals like consistency and predictability in their environment, and a lack of these can contribute to behavior problems. If there are things in the environment (sounds, visual stimuli, other people/animals) that cause fear or anxiety in your pet, that can also lead to a wide range of different behavior problems.”

Pet owners often share a special bond with their companions, trying to understand each other's needs and ensure their well-being. Since J. Cutler is a dog owner, we were curious about whether there are common misconceptions about dogs' behavior and their bond with humans that she would like to debunk. She told us that there are many common myths about dogs and their relationship with people that have been debunked but are still commonly heard. Some examples are:
- “Dogs trying to be dominant over people. Dominance theory in dogs has been debunked - dogs are not behaving in certain ways to be the alpha or dominate people around them and people do not need to act like an ‘alpha’ around their dog.
- Dogs looking guilty because they understand they did something wrong. The ‘guilty look’ in dogs has been researched, and they actually show behavior that we interpret as feeling guilty if they’re concerned they’ll get in trouble for something. It is called appeasement behavior and they do not do this because they did something or understand that it was wrong.
- Tail wagging. Dogs wagging their tails can have many meanings, but it does not necessarily mean they’re happy. Many times dogs do wag their tails because they’re happy, but it can also be due to high arousal, fear, uncertainty, and more.”

My cat Pumpkin was my soul mate. He was unique looking - like a orange tabby alien - his eyes were so big you could look through them from the side. Everyone would aske what was wrong with him, but that's just how he is. But he looked exactly like this when he slept, also tucked in. Its been four years but this picture is a gut punch. You never get over your true love right?

I know it looks funny but the reason why she is postured this way is because her litter box is too small for her. If she used the correct female feline urination posture, she would spray urine everywhere but inside the box. She's essentially training herself to be cleaner, cats and finicky about their litter boxes. And if their box(es) is/are inadequate for their size or number of cats in the household, it can lead to UTIs and other diseases of the bladder and kidneys, which - depending on the type of illness - can become fatal very quickly. TL;DR - Make sure your cat has a large enough litter box for its size to prevent illness and possible fatality.
