    My home town obliterated a world record!

    Hm, now that I think of it, Zombies vs. Humans involves Nerf guns and elite zombies can throw socks, so I don't think it's the same. Both sound fun though!

    My home town obliterated a world record!

    I've never played Zombie Tag, but the college I'm going to next year has an annual Zombies vs. Humans. Is that the same thing? I'm really excited for it. Apparently this year they had to cancel it because they were using elementary students as human shields

    Happy Birthday to me!

    I'm 18 today! (That's March 10th for all of you who live in different time zones.) I don't have any plans to start smoking or rent pron or buy lotto tickets, but at least I registered to vote already

    Taming Loki

    Loki may be the fussiest cat who's ever lived (I genuinely think she would starve to death if she lived with anybody who pampered her less than us. She simply does not acknowledge hard food as edible, and dislikes most canned food), but I've found treats that she likes, so she's pretty food...

    Taming Loki

    Yep, clicker training. Isn't it annoying when people think you can't train a cat? Loki is the most spoiled cat I've ever owned, and even she'll do it! Do you train all of your cats? What behaviors do they know? How long have you been training them? I have a lot of questions, I know

    Taming Loki

    So I'm training one of my cats, Loki. It's actually for a school project, but I like it a lot. Anyway, so far she knows sit, and I've been shaping her to jump through a hoop. I finally got the hoop up high enough (a foot), so today I started working with her on adding the cue. She got it in...

    Kitty Visit

    Last night we recieved a visitor in our backyard. She was a pretty light grey and white long-haired kitty, and she was yowling at our backdoor. Luckily none of our cats were outside, so we closed the doggy door so they couldn't get out and beat her up. We have a cat fence that supposedly...

    Russian Tame Fox Experiment

    As far as anybody can tell Sibfox, the distributor, has never sold a fox to anybody. Plus there are several things about them that are extremely suspicious, e.g. a faulty contract, their address being a mail-forwarding service (therefore if you send them your money and it turns out to be a...

    Russian Tame Fox Experiment

    Fur farm foxes are genetically very different from wild foxes, probably because fur farmers have been if nothing else accidentally breeding for tameness (it's pretty hard to breed something if it's trying to rip your face off). The domesticated foxes actually aren't very different generically...

    Instigation

    It's your cat, so you should do what you feel is best, I just don't support the use of negative reinforcement or punishment. They have repercussions and I believe that anything you can do with them, it is also possible to do with positive reinforcement. Though I understand that your disability...

    Russian Tame Fox Experiment

    I've read just about everything about these guys, it's pretty fascinating. They're actually more domesticated than dogs are. The foxes are kept in cages their entire lives, with very minimal human contact, and yet they're still extremely friendly and crave human attention. You put a dog in...

    Instigation

    Negative Reinforcement and Punishment rarely if ever work with cats. They're not like dogs, they're not really like any other domesticated animal actually. They just don't respond well to that. If I were you, I would just walk away as soon as he starts doing it. If he persists, perhaps go...
