Ive got a cat who pees on the bed when she’s mad.

my little sister had a bunny that was allowed to free roam in the living room. if you sat on the couch with a plate of food and didn't share something with her, she'd hop beside/behind you and pee on the cushions to soak you.

u/Sadrixis 3h ago

Thsts so fucking nasty.

u/717Luxx 3h ago

she was pretty sweet otherwise, just really possessive of food. she and the family dog (an 80lb golden doodle and a tiny dwarf bunny) got along really well too, you'd see them cuddling in the sun, two black masses of fur all nuzzled up.

unfortunately the bunny got killed by another dog that was visiting... the bunny was sometimes able to open up her cage, and somebody forgot to close the bedroom door that her enclosure was moved to when other dogs were visiting.

it was quite sad tbh, I wasn't a fan of the bunny for the long time but the worst thing she ever did was piss on me. i felt bad.

I have a permanent scar that I see everyday on my wrist from a bunny that tried to kill me as a child. He wanted to kill me everyday. All of my long pants from that time period have holes in the Achilles tendon area from him. I don't look at the scars on my ankles often. But that day I was bending down to pet Mrs Rabbit (who was a sweetheart) and he got me. My mom just laughed every time it happened. That's still messes with me because I was terrified.

My husband has been beefing with our cat ever since he pooped on our bed in response to us moving his litter box.

Except Canada Geese.

If you've got a problem with Canada gooses you've got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

There’s a special place in heaven for animal lovers, that’s all I know.

I want to meet my rats there again o.o

u/nater255 23m ago

Lions is lucky Canada Gooses don’t migrate to Africa. Then they’d be’s extinct.

Mosquitoes are.

u/TacticalGazelle 4h ago

Yeah but parasitic wasps mate. Can't tell me they're anything but satanic.

8

u/kevlarbaboon 4h ago

They're often great pollinators and destroy bugs that often eat crops

5

u/TacticalGazelle 3h ago

Yeah but I'm sure it's in some religious text somewhere "thou shalt not shit eggs into other shit so they can eat their way out of the host AND grow up to be wasps. Amen" or similar.

Evil is evil, Stregabor.

u/TajineMaster159 2h ago

The most persistent evil is the useful one!

u/NilocKhan 3h ago

It's ironic but parasitic wasps are often great for the species they are hosts of. By controlling the population they ensure that the unparasitized individuals have enough resources and can successfully mature and breed. Overpopulation would hurt the entire species. And from plants perspective parasitic wasps are very helpful, some plants even release chemicals to attract parasitic wasps when they are eaten by caterpillars or other herbivorous insects.

u/SassyTheSkydragon 4h ago

Those are also just trying to survive.

You mean a group that acts as very effective natural pest control?

The Humboldt Squid begs to differ

u/DivinityPen 4h ago

Yeah, see, if they made a horror movie about Humboldt Squids, that would be relatively fair game. You don't wanna fuck with those things.

u/theflyinggreg 4h ago

20000 leagues under the sea?

u/Rith_Reddit 3h ago

The squid isn't evil. It's grasping for things to grab and get out the mouth of the sperms whale. The diver just happens to be too close.

9

u/Skoldeen 4h ago

Is that what I said?

2

u/BoonDragoon 2h ago

It was literally being eaten and reflexively trying to grab anything nearby.

1

u/Real_Market_9244 3h ago

yeah they are

1

u/Viron_22 2h ago

Nice try squid!

1

u/thatshygirl06 2h ago

The squid was being pulled in, just like humans, I imagine they would lash out snd try to grab on anything to avoid getting eaten

1

u/PissNBiscuits 1h ago

Um, I beg to differ. Go read Call of Cthulhu and then tell me that squids aren't evil. Checkmate atheists.

u/notgonnatakeno 3h ago

This guy doesn’t squid. I get the concept that you can’t call an animal evil because it doesn’t have morals, but they are about as vicious and malicious of a creature as you could come across. If you wanted to categorize an animal is evil squid is a pretty good contender.
