Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

The right way to hold your cat

Important if your cat looks like this:

Hello K.T. and fellow Pet Morons. After taking last week off, I have a few interesting updates.

First, Chick A's problem with Splay Legs has been resolved. Dr. S. removed the bindings after 12 days and was satisfied with the results. One eagle-eyed commentator in the comments sections asked a question about his toes, noticing that one foot had 2 toes forward and 2 back, while the other foot had 3 forward and 1 back. Normal is 2 forward and 2 back. I asked Dr. S. about this and he wasn't too concerned. He feels like this should self-correct once they get in a proper cage and start perching.

Chicks A and B have left the T-Rex phase and actually look like little birds. They have started wing flapping and should be ready to make their first flight soon. This will be a major milestone in their development. Notice that Chick B's colors are starting to come in nicely on his breast. The other picture shows how much Chick A's wing and tail feathers have come in.

Chicks C and D are doing well too. As you can see, they have really grown, but are still in the fuzzy state

Regards,

David

So glad to hear about Chick A's legs improving!

Chicks A and B are starting to develop some personality!

From gp:

Some bugs that members of The Horde could perhaps identify: Friendly, not friendly? Could the chicks above eat any of them?

I took Ava (age eight) and Nana for a visit to an Illinoisgravel hill prairie in 2017. I brought my sweep net, and my Canon PowerShot SX150 IS, which I found at a garage sale for $2.

Nana brought her Nikon CoolPix L22. I set the camera on macro, handed it to Ava, and I caught and posed the bugs for them to shoot. Here are five pics. I'll send more next week.

Ava (first two photos) and Nana (last three) took some professional level photos there. Now it's time for critter identification!

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
