This guy set up several food bowls in his garage to offer stray cats some sustenance. He doesn't discriminate against any of them

It's a diverse crowd: a cat, a forest cat, and a trash cat. And they are all so polite! That might be because there is enough food for everyone. When it gets down to only one bowl left, will they be so cooperative? This is adorable, but it might not be quite as amazing when you realize this is from the TikTok account <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lilytheskunk">lilytheskunk</a>. Lily is a pet skunk who already lives with a cat (not this one, though). That kind of household breeds the kind of tolerance one would need to share food with a raccoon, one who they might also know already. You can also keep up with Lily and family <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilytheskunk/">at Instagram</a>.&nbsp; -Thanks, WTM! #cat #raccoon #skunk

Feeding the Cats- All Are Welcome

If you ever see a <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/seven-species-exist-skunk-does-hand-stand-it-sprays-180978554/">skunk do a handstand</a> in person, run! It’s not trying to be cute. It’s about to spray you with its deadly weapon.A paper in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution shows that they were able to identify 7 species of skunks upon studying 203 specimens, and they all do handstand before they spray. This is contrary to popular belief that there were only 4 species of skunks.<blockquote>“We expected to either validate the four species hypothesis or invalidate it and make it three, not actually expand it to seven,” says Adam Ferguson, an evolutionary ecologist at Chicago’s Field Museum and one of the paper’s coauthors.Prior to the new study, researchers tended to differentiate spotted skunk species by looking at their morphology—things like differences in spotting patterns, as well as cranial and dental measurements. But those factors are so similar among some of the seven species that they were thought to be the same type of spotted skunk.</blockquote>Image Credit: Jerry W.
