Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the Zidium podcast network.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Fleet and Haley's a little bit of pod. Welcome
to a little bit of pod.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I've just been reading something and it actually has upset me. Yeah,
it's upset me because it's something I tell my dog
off for.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh do you know my cats so well behaved? Now
he only scratches his little cardboard scratcher. I don't know
I've done this.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Show sponsor an the Felloway, I got the fell away Anxietar.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's like a faux pheromone. And but and I yelled
at him whenever he attacked something that wasn't the thing.
And he's and he's learned.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Like Vaughn hadn't suggested yelling or.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Spraying with water was my first style.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yes, to fix this problem. Where's role? He's become more
of a ship.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
You don't need to yell at my cat anymore. But
you're yelling at your doors well.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
For displacement behavior. Behavior is a normal action performed out
of context, like a human scratching the head when undecided,
or a dog yawning when it's stressed.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I yawned I exercise and my train I was like,
I'm so embarrassed. I'm not tired. She was like, your
body's just trying to get oxygen.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Oxygen.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Oh yeah, needs it, because that's a lot of the
time when you're tired, that's what it's trying to do.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
It.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm slowing down my breathing. I need to take a
big one toga.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I just thought it was because we wake up so early,
because I always yawn in the middle of those insane
cycle classes.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, and you're like, what the hell, man, I'm like,
go for it. It's your body forcing you to go
and take big oxygen.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
So I saw a reel and it said, just found
out that when a dog greets you with something in
the mouth, it's called displacement behavior, which means their feelings
are too big to process, and so they all they
love and excitementto bringing you something. So overwhelmed and happy
to see you. They don't know what to do, so
they just come.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
He'll want this, He'll want mass. That's bringing you a
bird like you feed me. I feed you.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, I don't think that's just let's check this shit out.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Thank you for feeding me.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I feed you.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
This is what Richie does. You'll like, grab a cushion
and they bring you your cushion or like a blanket
or something or and you're just like, what that back
where it was? Or naughty? And I'm always dragging the
blanket and let it go.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
And I'm like, don't drag this outside. You're gonna get
it wet.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
And now I feel bad. He's just so excited and
happy to see me. He's overwhelmed. But what if.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
He's pecking up stuff he shouldn't be picking up?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Is this ritchie? Yeah, he is happy. He's always a
very very happy boy.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
But he will grab like towels or like because they're
outside dogs, but he'll like go into the garage and
come back out with like a towel or a ragtail,
a blanket I put down for them to sleep on, or.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Hope you get your poisons up high?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh, the poisons are always up high, because do you
know what I was actually just a side note. You know,
I've got my new little shed, new little garden. She
is with you, and I was putting my poisons and
there I put the bottom shower. I thought, Hayley, stand by,
just because I have don't have kids, so put them
up top shower.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's actually where they should they should be.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Poisoning the neighborhood kids, no, saying that they shouldn't been.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
You get the fuck out of my ship. That's very cute.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
So when a cat brings a bird home, it's acting
on deep seated predatory instincts. They do this to find
a safe, secure home. Basically, they can eat without competition.
There's an instinctive behavior to share food with their social
group because he loves so it's not it's not bringing.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And that he is grateful I provide for him, and
so he too, has brought me food.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
They don't want another care eating that bird or rabbit,
so they bring it home. That's why I wish.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'm fine with the birds and the mice and the whatever.
Do you have to eat the middle out of them?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Bro?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
That's my thing? Did the head?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Was the head so delectable that you had to take
that off? And then the guards and just leave me
the spine?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah? And the cat's like, liver wasn't for me but
them kidneys yeah, you won't find a trace of them
intine lower and upper yeah. Yeah, and a liver, yes,
you won't. You won't find brain or kidneys around here, mate,
because those are my favorites.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Those of mine.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
The spread haphazardly along with its feathers, all over the
laundry
