Reader’s Pets 3 – Return of the Jedi from Beyond Thunderdome

Back by popular demand! Here are some more!

Today we have Ben Sandilands’ pets! Firstly something called Daphne

Daphne for some reason

Which is swiftly killed by a passing giant feral cat.

No wait, I found her like this!

I think I stepped in something

That then turns it’s attention back to destroying all native fauna in a 20 km radius.

Have we met?

And now, proof of unintelligent design!

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam

Clearly, they are tied up to stop them going on a bloody rampage.

It is all about the knees

These photos are from someone called “Brielie” who says she works here in my office with “Rowan” but I have never heard of either of them. She suggests this is a picture “Rowan” and a cat called “Harry the alien fur ball” but it is clearly some kind of cat demon about to consume its young.

This? This is just my lunch

This? This is just my lunch

This is a two headed cat demon called Elvisandsooty, joined at the upper coccyx.

Get away from me

    FD, you could gently inform the person taking the last photo that a flash is not needed for a shot like this.
    The shots of the baby alpacas do show them as having off-set knees. Can’t see that this would be good for the breed. The black cat is wonderful, as is the shot with him and the Echidna.
    Cheers

    How can we get daphne to stand on one of those alpaca’s heads and then get the flying dog to jump over them all? and then take a photo?

    is that somehow possible? if so, it could be the greatest photo of all time.

    How quirky are our pets and how devoted are we ? Today I hugged the next-door neighbour’s 6-week old Rhodesian ridge back puppy that fell asleep in 2 mins with a big loud snore in my ear. An hour later I popped it back in its basket. Tonight I’m fretting it will think its Mum has deserted it!! I’m nuts its normal!

    What is it with these people living vicariously with neighbor’s pets. This is the second person to own up to this perverted practice First we had Fiona now Chris Johnson. Not to mention Alison who thinks it is funny to stick her cat in a plastic bag. FD you have unwittingly discovered the underbelly of animal ownership in Australia I think Sandilands Pekingese was asking for it As for Sophie Black she seems to be off her meds although i noted elsewhere she is a Collingwood supporter which explains a lot,
