    The second frame could also read “It sounds like a dying animal screaming in pain and agony”

      Squeaky toys and rabbit kits sounds the same when being ripped apart by a dog, unfortunately.

        A baby rabbit shrieking is much much worse. My lab found a nest in the yard last summer. She ran around with them in her mouth but didn’t tear them apart.

        Rabbit kits? Are these like rabbits you build yourself?

          Baby rabbits are called kittens.

              No, it’s a complicated process involving birds and bees.

        Rats and mice also. I’ve seen a few videos of terriers killing rats, the squeaks and the way they roughly shake them so hard they die is somewhat disturbing.

          Yep, kill the small animal is generally the game we’re playing with our dogs 😬

          Just in colorful cutesy toy shapes.

          Was it the video where they lifted a chicken coup up with a crane? I saw that on Reddit a couple years ago and it was insanity! Hundreds of rats came pouring out and like 10 different dogs went running in, chased all the rats down, and demolished them.

            Yeah, that was definitely one of them. I’ve seen more than one I think, but that memory resonates.

      To everyone reading: Be sure to not smoke weed in front of your cats, THC is toxic for them, and their body can’t break it down, so it will stay in their system forever.

    Catnip works on dogs as well FYI. For dogs, it’s sort of a sedative. It makes them calm and relaxed.

    https://www.thewildest.com/dog-health/catnip-for-dogs

    It doesn’t work for all dogs, but if you have an anxious dog, it’s worth trying before things like vet trips because it’s safe in moderation.

      Catnip is also my secret ingredient in mojitos. It has a mellower flavor that compliments the mint well, and the moderate sedative effects of catnip tea make the rum more effective.

        It’s actually in the mint family, so that makes sense.

        It doesn’t affect most dogs but it makes some calmer. It doesn’t get them high like it does for cats.
