Less awesome, but aren't guinea pigs also the ones that will eat their own babies if stressed?

I got a convo cat who always responds when you talk to him, especially about food
a cat that just meows the most pathetic meows until you smother him with affection. Like, you gotta literally snuggle with him until he gets mad at you, or you'll never have a moment's peace.
and a cat who didn't really continue his voice work after he grew up so now he just makes little beeps and meeps

Lots of animals will eat their own young in certain situations.

I once watched a platy (live bearing fish, not the forumer) giving birth and she popped a baby out and looked at it quizzically and ate it.

I once watched a platy (live bearing fish, not the forumer) giving birth and she popped a baby out and looked at it quizzically and ate it.
I remember having to put my guppies in a special birth tank with a grid bottom that the babies could slip through while the adults couldn't so the adults couldn't eat them.
But it's been said, lots of species will eat their young given certain conditions.
Tangentially related, but when I was a kid I won a goldfish at the local fair. Normally I'd have given it back since by that point I'd learned from losing two to the cats, but my neighbor had a small koi pond and I happened to know that goldfish were pretty similar to koi.
So, I brought the goldfish over to my neighbor's pond and set it free. All seemed well as it swam around. I wondered how big it would eventually get here among the koi.
I made like, roughly $8000 in competitive gaming. None of it was solo stuff, it was all my cut of team competitions. But that was when I was in college: 2004-2008. And the bulk of it was across 18-24 months. It was nice extra money, but there wasn't really a way to live on that. Then I graduated and got a job in the mountains and had really shitty internet and less time and just didn't have the time anymore. And now I'm too old and still don't have the time, and the space is much much more crowded now.

I just made about $1500 or so, about 300ish was from team stuff (2v2s) the rest from solo stuff.
But like, most people making money off the vidya games in today's market are not doing it because they are necessarily good at the video games.

Oh god so true.

Sure it can be fun to see people be really good at videogames, but that gets boring fast.

It's essentially improv or a podcast with the game as a setting to provide them with ideas to riff off of.

But it's also a huge massive time commitment. And like, I just don't want to sit there for 6-14 hours to be actively engaged with people.
I have a twitch channel that every now and again I get on and just play. It's named and described in such a way that people know it's just for watching games being played. I figure there's a small market for that, because there are some games I can't or won't play, but would be intrigued to see all of (Subnautica) but all the personalities are overwhelming the game, and I just want the game.
I just don't have the time necessary to really market it and turn it into something. It woulda been easier when I was good AND had the time.
If cats think humans are cats does that mean they think all other species are cats as well? The world is just 100% cats to them? And if not then why are humans the special ones. I am sceptical of this theory about cat logic.

Funny story: This comic got Larson an indignant letter from the Jane Goodall Institute, who did that without Goodall's knowledge. She actually found the comic fairly amusing when she found out about it. Now you can buy t-shirts with the cartoon at the Smithsonian. All proceeds from the sales go to the Jane Goodall Institute.
Dang it this was gonna be my Far Side story. Though if I may brag... I heard it told by Jane Goodall herself.

one time when I was about 11 or 12 a neighbor asked me to watch their guinea pigs while they were out of town and one of them died overnight and I was so scared they'd be mad at me but when they got home they said that it was a pretty old guinea pig and it wasn't my fault
When my dad was a kid his class at school had some russian hamsters and he took them home over the school holiday and put them in with his own, non-Russian hamster, not realising that other kinds of hamster are not social, and his hamster ate the school hamsters.
The answer's always "No, you can't eat a person!", damn smart kids
My go-to comeback for "What's for dinner" is 'long pig' and I am fervently awaiting the day we get a note home from school about it. But alas it is yet to be
Yeah seeing humans as caregivers, because humans give care, =/= thinking humans are cats
Close interspecies socialization is the exception, not the norm. So in a cat's mindscape, we're part of the 'in' group and thus must be cats, because we are part of their 'us' group.

when I lock eyes with my cats I blink very slowly at them because I read somewhere that for cats, that signifies trust. Like, "I know you're right there, but I am leaving myself defenseless so you know I know you're my homie."
I don't know if it's true, it's just a thing I do.

I have read in many places that if your cat does a slow blink at you it's a sign of trust and affection but fuck knows how true that is, animal psychology's a weird ass fuckin' field.
after I learned about dog laughing I sometimes do it if we have a doggo around who is looking anxious or stressed. It definitely does seem to chill them out a bit.

you gotta separate them as soon as they're old enough to take care of themselves, which is pretty quick

Random question, but are octopus known to eat their young?

I know you're doing the bit, but no. Octomoms are good moms who basically starve themselves to death keeping predators and dirt away from their nests.
So, I brought the goldfish over to my neighbor's pond and set it free. All seemed well as it swam around. I wondered how big it would eventually get here among the koi.
Then one of the koi sucked up the goldfish.
It's probably otherwise rare in non-captive populations
you need to sit them down and learn them about the times where it is okay to do cannibalism
maybe via the smash hit film "alive!"
Surprisingly prophetic yes.
Like, insanely so.
Thanks a lot, Immeownuel Kat!
