Today I learned about sub orders! Feliformia (cat-like carnivores) and Caniformia (dog-like carnivores) are distinguished by several anatomical features, primarily related to skull and dental structure, as well as locomotion. Feliforms typically have shorter snouts, fewer teeth, and more specialized carnassials (teeth used for shearing meat). They also possess a double-chambered auditory bulla (a bony enclosure around the middle ear). Caniforms, on the other hand, tend to have longer snouts, more teeth (often with less specialized carnassials), and less specialized claws (often non-retractile). They are also more likely to be omnivorous. However in this instance ferrets are obligate carnivores the way cats are.

That girl there, Daisy, she was a bedtime cuddler. She would climb into bed with me, tunnel under the covers, and sleep next to my feet and legs every night. She was also a light sleeper, and the moment she heard my key in the door after work, she would run to the door and be waiting there for me. Her brother, George, was a day cuddler. He would let you pick him up, snuggle him, and then he would just give you so many kisses. He liked to climb into the hood of my hoodie and just fall asleep in it while I went about my day.

Obligatory George pic:

Yes. Ferrets are the domesticated European polecat.

I can’t unsee this. You need to get the kitty with the dick face.
