Ace of Spades Pet Thread, May 30

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.

Pet Science - there is quite a bit of detail if you follow the thread:

The research behind this is wild. A cat has about 470 taste buds. You have 9,000. A dog has 1,700. So the cat in this video can barely taste that pancake, and that is the whole reason it sniffs the thing like it might be poison while the dog just bites straight in.

Taste barely… https://t.co/INhVRWbekK

All of our PetMorons this week are actually PetMoron Adjascent Animals!

This bobcat not really a pet but we see him regularly on the game cam.

WOW

My wife watered her tomatoes this week, and noticed a few leaves were missing. We figured maybe the groundhog that lives under the shed may have munched on them, and put a little caging up to keep it out.

A few trail cam checks later...the groundhog had 6 babies. First time that's happened, and she's lived here for 4-5 years. Good thing I didn't plant much in the garden this year...they've demolished weeds around the raised beds, and are kinda cute and fun to watch (but not as cool as the fox babies we had last year).

So long tomatoes, hello groundhogs!

Might as well enjoy watching them!

Guess who's back at By-Tor's house?

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