I've been told that the Guinea Pig is the only animal ( other than a human ) that can eat itself to death!

Got the sex wrong did I not :flushed:. But then I am no expert. (PS I am OK on humans :smiling2: )

Only got involved with Guinea Pigs once when I got volunteered to feed my brother's pair when he went on holiday a few years ago. First day there I opened the cage door to get the dish and one of them launched itself at my throat. I had to smack it on the nose with it's dish to get it to back off! Never again.
These days Laurie, I'm not too sure, most of the young ones don't know themselves.

Ian are we talking here of Guinea Pigs or Humans :rolling:
Think Ian's talking humans there
Ever read the short story "Pigs is Pigs" (it's available now as a free e-book)?
I always remember that when people talk about guinea pigs!

The back door was open at a quarter past eleven last night because it was still warm outside, and the screen door has a hole cut in it so the cats can still get in and out. Seems someone other than they discovered that too.
One of the cats didn’t know what to make of this. It was his behaviour that first alerted to there being something strange going on.

He’s familiar with hedgehogs, and is clearly wary of them. I think he was upset a bit and confused that he couldn’t eat anything himself like this.
The hedgehog, of course, also wasn’t too comfortable with all of this, so he ended up sitting very still in the cat’s food bowl, with his head down and his spines up. After a while of leaving him alone, when he still hadn’t moved, I carefully got my hand under his belly (he hadn’t curled up completely) and lifted him out to put him back outside, by the saucer with cat food that’s there exactly for these fellows (there are at least two that come into the garden).

Great stuff Jakko. Hedge pigs have become quite rare in the UK since I was a nipper! Good looking mackerel tabby as well….very like our old boy that died recently, down to the notched ear….

I don’t really remember ever seeing them until some years ago, when several seem to have taken up residence in my neighbourhood.
Thanks. He didn’t have that notch in his ear initially, so I suppose he got into a fight at some point. How he did that I kind of wonder, though, as he’s not exactly the bravest cat I’ve ever seen
His predecessors died in June 2017 and January 2018, so he arrived here a week and a half after the latter when he was about five months old, together with his adoptive mother of (at a guess) two to three years at the time. Apparently, she had been brought into an animal shelter after having been found in a cardboard box at a motorway rest area, with a nest of her kittens. It’s kind of assumed she had been dumped there by previous owners, but I think a likely alternative is that she picked that box as a safe place for her young. Still, she’s clearly used to people and not a wild cat, so how she ended up there is anyone’s guess. Anyway, when the kittens had gone, the animal shelter had another one in need of a mother (they didn’t tell me the reason) so he got put with her. Three years later, she’s sometimes a bit cautious of him, probably because he’s a good deal bigger, and she doesn’t seem to realise that he is the one who backs down when he thinks she doesn’t want him around.
Ours used to fight the street bully cat all the time……in the end they went for a mutual avoidance strategy so neither lost their street cred!
