So, my neighbors have an indoor/outdoor cat. I don't approve, but she's not my cat. Anyway, when it started getting cold, I decided get one of those Styrofoam cooler shelters full of straw in case there's a cold snap, and they're not home to let her in. You know, just as an emergency shelter?

Anyway, fortunately they are keeping her indoors for winter. But, we recently had a snow and a thin layer was on my covered porch. I noticed little bird tracks going from my porch to the shelter.

No, I don't think they're nesting in there, but I DO think they're taking the straw for bedding. I love that.

Ok so I was peeing and then I had the thought, do animals associate drinking/consuming water with peeing? Do you think they know that if they drink water, that means they will pee later?? Do they have any awareness of the digestive system? Just a thought …

I almost never hear people talking about the glemut. A glemut, if you don't know, is a creature native to the North American woodlands. Their homes have been getting destroyed by deforestation for decades. Glemuts are not endangered by any means as they are highly adaptable, but if we keep destroying their home we might see an inflation of glemut sightings in neighborhoods and communities. I have had a few encounters with glemuts and let me tell you. They NEVER end well. Glemuts are known to let out a deafening shriek that calls other glemuts. If you encounter more than one glemut you are almost never coming home. Glemuts are highly aggressive and territorial creatures who will fight for their kind. This is why we must keep their natural habitat from getting destroyed. I hope we can all save the glemuts home! Together!
