Mrs Spat enjoys her daily dose of Red Bull, but the subsequent side-effects are spectacular and require regular furniture replacement.
1) I have some turkey vulture pics (and even a movie!) from a hike up the mountain the other day.
2) Looking up taurine on the innertoobz (after all, I would not shirk on research at the Riddled blog, it would be embarrassing), I find this:
Many passerines seek out taurine-rich spiders to feed their young, particularly just after hatching. Researchers compared the behaviors and development of birds fed a taurine-supplemented diet to a control diet and found the juveniles fed taurine-rich diets as neonates were much larger risk takers and more adept at spatial learning tasks.

She looks like she could take on an ox in a fair fight.

This becomes a problem when the young birds eat fermenting berries along with the taurine-rich spiders, and start trashing nightclubs and stealing jewelry.
Evidently containing taurine with the associated anxiolytic effect and risk-taking did NOT WORK OUT FOR THE SPIDERS.
FERDINAND!!!!1!
I appreciate that the cat's privacy is being protected.
The Red Bull comment made me LOL, so I had to read it aloud to mr. Slayer.
This is ominous.
