Wanna hear a joke?
A Priest and a Rabbi are playing mini golf. The Priest putts first and gets a hole in one. Then the Rabbi putts and misses. "Damn, I missed!" Yells the Rabbi. "Rabbi!" exclaims the Priest in shock, "You are a man of God! You know better than to use the D-word!" "You're absolutely right Father, I'm sorry." So they go to the second hole. The Priest putts and gets another hole in one. Then the Rabbi putts and misses. "Damn, I missed!" Yells the Rabbi. "Rabbi, I already warned you once about your language!" scolds the Priest. "If you say that word one more time then God will strike you dead with lightning!" "I know Father, I know. I can control myself this time, really" So they go to the next hole. The Priest putts and gets yet ANOTHER hole in one, and the Rabbi putts, and misses AGAIN. "Damn, I missed!" Yells the Rabbi. Suddenly the sky gets dark, the clouds part, and a bolt of lightning rushes from the sky, hits the Priest and knocks him dead. God says, "Damn, I missed!"
Why do (male) cats kill the kittens after they are born?
As others have said in their answers - some male cats may kill kittens to induce the female to come into heat, or to reduce potential competition in their territory. These are behaviors humans have noticed in some animal species, including domestic cats. Some male cats, especially if unaltered, might even attack kittens when they are old enough to run and play and eat.However, not all male cats kill kittens. And when they do, there may be additional reasons. Cats who do not have a maternal drive, whether male or female, may kill very young kittens simply because they resemble prey.And though I wouldn’t count on this - some male cats actually have gentle, supportive behaviors when it comes to babies. Some will even nurture them. Like us humans, cats can have a variety of reactions to circumstances.But when it comes to raising babies, you want to be VERY careful. A mother cat with kittens NEEDS to have a safe, preferably quiet, private place where her kittens are undisturbed. Having other cats around, and maybe even any humans she isn’t totally comfortable with, can cause her a great deal of stress. And she is likely to fiercely attack an approaching cat. Both adult cats could get injured. And the stressful situation may get her very worked up and even cause her to neglect or accidentally harm her kittens.So I recommend keeping a male cat and a new family apart, until the kittens are old enough to be very carefully and attentively introduced, and the mom isn’t as worried about him.Here are more related answers -Sabira Woolley's answer to A cat just had its babies in my home.

They are newborn.Sabira Woolley's answer to Question from heartbroken cat owner. Will a mama cat consume kittens that are two weeks old and thriving?I answered - “Why do (male) cats kill the kittens after they are born? I mean to say, that the dad of the cat tries to kill it's own baby and the mom (female cat) defends it's kitten.”
How long can my dog go without eating?
Your dog is descended from wolves. Wolves typically hunt every day, but only catch something one day in three. So your dog can clearly go 3 days between meals. But if you are going to do that, you need to let him eat as much as he wants when he does get food.Actually, that’s every 3 days on average. I doubt it will do a dog much harm to go five days without eating. Just keep in mind: that’s 2–5 days without eating, then the pack eats as much as they can get down. Then they sleep for half a day, then they start hunting again.Dogs also have more self-control than you’d give them credit for. There was a news story a while back: somebody had left their (largish) dog alone in the house with a baby, and for some reason not returned to feed the dog or take care of the baby. (Don’t remember if they died or were in an accident, or what.) The dog ate the baby, but — according to police analysis — only after the baby had died of starvation.Humans are part of a dog’s “pack”, and you don’t kill your pack members for food. (Deaths do sometimes occur in dominance fights to determine who gets to be pack Alpha.)
Fun things to do with kids while babysitting?
Hi, I'm 16 and I babysat 2 girls regularly last summer, when they were 5 & 8. Now they're 6 and 9 and I'm going to be babysitting them this week from 7am to 6pm! They always say that they have fun with me. I participate in their activities a lot cause I like them! They're sweet kids and so are their parents. However, sometimes, after a while, they get bored and start acting up and I don't know how to keep them busy. We usually color together, play at the park, have a picnic, watch a little bit of TV, and sometimes I read to them. They show me their stuff (new dresses, doll houses, softball stuff) too. But I want to be a funner babysitter! These kids are depending on me to keep their week interesting so do you have any ideas? They live in a townhome, which is almost like a duplex, I suppose. It's very hot down here where we live, too, and they have a baby pool and a sandbox so I've got that at my disposal :) They're allowed to play in water and stuff like that but I don't think I can bake cookies or anything, just in case. So, do you have any easy, simple but fun ideas? I don't wanna use a lot of their parents' stuff, like flour and all that to make play-dough, & I also don't have enough time tonight to go pick up a few things. They do have crayons, coloring books, markers, glue, glitter, etc. They're allowed to use nail polish, I let them paint my nails cause it makes their day haha :P But yeah, if you have any easy suggestions you think some young girls would like I'd love to hear them. Also, one of them is always trying to skip real food to get to her treat, what can I do to show her that she needs to eat something healthy first?! She has a serious sweet tooth! Thanks a lot! :)
