&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;jesus that is good to know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So what’d they do? &lt;br/&gt;They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/987351/thumbs/r-DOGS-CHEETAHS-large570.jpg?6"/&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://images.mnn.com/sites/default/files/editorial/cheetah_main.jpg"/&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://dogblog.dogstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Dog-and-cheetah.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this post just got so much better&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVOURITE POST&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;God makes cheetas, god kills cheetas, god makes man, man makes dogs in order to live, man gives dog to cheeta in order for them to live, god is dog backwards&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- You have a great idea for a new fic. You have seven half finished fics already.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Your story idea is no longer relevant/appealing because of things that happened in canon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- You have a great idea for a story and no idea how it should end&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- You have a great idea for a story and know exactly how it should end and how it should begin and in the middle is a vast wasteland of ????????&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Trying to figure out an appropriately literary way to say “and then they do that thing, you know, that thing they do on the show where they make that face and it’s just adorable?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Worrying your headcanons reveal way too much about your deep dark secrets as a person.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Writing down a headcanon that DEFINITELY reveals too much about your deep dark secrets as a person and editing it to make it seem a little more subdued.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Having to decide between what you want for your faves and their happiness and what’s actually in character.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Being stuck on an idea for 9000 years and then taking a shower and figuring it out instantly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Seriously what is it with being in the shower did you make a deal with one of the fae where you’re only a good writer while you’re naked??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- “What are you writing?” “Oh, you know…just…a thing….”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- What the hell you can just copy/paste formatted work on Ao3 you don’t have to put the html in yourself WHY DID NO ONE TELL YOU THIS, WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Wanting to tell your non-fandom friends about your story ideas, but they can’t understand a word you’re saying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Wanting to tell your fandom friends about your story ideas, but they’re all reading your fics and you don’t want to give them spoilers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- when the plot decides to do is own damn thing and suddenly you have to add three more chapters to accommodate it all and fuck it all, this was supposed to be a one-shot&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- spiralling down wikipedia hole in the name of research&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- what’s that word? The one that means, you know, the thing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- When someone reads your back catalogue and leaves a nice comment on Every Single One&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- not being able to hit a 2k word essay, but churning out a 10k word fic the same night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- screaming at your characters because you have three different scenes, none of which make a satisfying chapter, and now two more arseholes are sitting down to play chess instead of doing explosions…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She’ll take time to get used to you, they said. Don’t worry if she’s aloof, they said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’ll never allow a pet on the bed, he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don’t want a cat, he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[&lt;strike&gt;Misty&lt;/strike&gt; Shula slept on top of us all night, first night 😄 She’s been like this since five minutes after we bought her home. Used the litter box, explored the cat tree, hasn’t attacked either of us, eaten and drunk normally.

&lt;figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="332" data-orig-width="332" data-tumblr-attribution="emiliotheexplorer:_8LWZeRzVJ96xTIsJ782RA:ZHgu6m26YeyYd"&gt;&lt;img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/417a2b095848e8e31d2569cd404b762f/tumblr_o7a8tvXpIf1u2h0zwo1_400.gif" data-orig-height="332" data-orig-width="332"/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our vet clinic has security cameras. They’re a sensible precaution, especially when one has to return to the vet clinic, alone, at night, to check on a patient. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it’s dark and raining, and you don’t really want to let a dog outside into the exercise yard as it’s far too cold and they’re only going to get soaked. So I will often let canine patients out of their cage for a wander and to stretch their legs while I get their food and medication ready. It’s generally not a problem, even without a lead most of them stick to me like glue because I have the food. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;But this wouldn’t be much of a story if that’s what always happens. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One night, in the middle of a storm, one greyhound decided to wander off through the clinic. Sure, the clinic’s locked, and I had my hands full, so I called out to her to come back while I finished getting her food. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;Only she didn’t come back. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;Okay, so maybe I did something kind of foolish. That’s okay, I could recover. I could be smart and look for the dog on the security cameras. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You ever played or watched Five Nights At Freddy’s?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah, it was kind of like that. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scouring the screens to try to figure out where this black, slinky dog was trotting off to, catching a glimpse of a back of tail as it happily trotted through the clinic despite the storm, from one room to another just to see where she was going. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;I decided at this point I had watched too much Five Nights At Freddy’s. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;Only to watch her coming back this way. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which was weird, but okay. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;So I figure out she’s coming back this way and find her in the kennel room, sweetly putting herself back into her bed and curling up around an object. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She’d navigated the clinic to steal a pig’s ear from the tub out the front, and sneaked back to bed before she was ‘noticed’. Sweet thing had curled up around it looking guilty, hoping I wouldn’t notice. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So of course I let her have it. Who wouldn’t? Who was going to know in the morning, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only &lt;i&gt;she didn’t eat it&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pig’s ear was still in her cage in the morning. Best we could tell was that she just wanted to &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; it, not &lt;i&gt;eat&lt;/i&gt; it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;Which for a dog that took herself on an adventure through the clinic to acquire her pig’s ear in the first place, I have to say was quite unexpected. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;Other cartoons that the publisher refused to print before firing Rogers:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A political cartoonist who had satirized every President during his 25 years at the paper is fired for drawing Trump cartoons. &lt;/p&gt;

This decision, just one day after Trump labeled&lt;b&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/06/13/arts/ap-us-trump-media.html" target="_blank"&gt;the news media is ‘our country’s biggest enemy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.’“&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Y'know, like dictators always do under fascist regimes.&lt;/p&gt;
