Can confirm. I had a ferret that would jump onto the back of our terrier after war dancing around it. After witnessing that a few times we kept them separated. Our dog had no chill and didn't want to play that way.
Once a stoat wandered through my apartment. At the time I had a bit of a mouse problem. It was so surreal seeing this white noodle slink across my floor like a living squirmle.

It honestly looks wild, if you have never watched a video of it you should it is hilarious.

I've had a few friends that had weasels and they did this to me. I thought it was just them being cute.
I did not realize that they were trying to build up their limit breaker to kill and eat me.

To be fair, a lot of 'play' behaviour in cats and dog is largely hunting instinct behaviour too.

They also do it when they play with each other, so they probably were just being cute.

Too much editing in this clip

With the editing of this, you can't really get a proper sense of it.

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, strike, retreat, roll, roll, potion, roll, roll, strike!

Did you mean: “Roll, roll, roll your stoat, gently down the stream”?
RamenJunkie@midwest.social · 12 pts · 109d
Ain't nothing gentle here.

"Rip and tear rodent throats out, so they'll never screeeeeaaaam"
(I know I know rabbits aren't rodents, but lagomorph is hard to put in a song)

Rip the rabbits throat out, so it cannot scream?

Go with bunny rather than rabbit, it fits better

So it's probably a bad idea to get a Weasel as a pet if you have cats, huh.
Edit: Or even a small dog

Twice the size of them...selves?
pyre@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 108d
yeah wtf is that sentence. I think they meant "stoats hunt animals twice their size" and royally fucked it
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 108d
Yeah, I wish there was more crossover between c/science_memes and c/grammar_and_composition_memes. What does that last sentence mean at all?
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 108d
No punctuation either its like they just typed it out as it came to mind and they hit enter does anyone want a sandwich

Over the course of 2 decades I had 8 different ferrets. They all did this; it was adorable and hilarious.

At first I was a little annoyed by the change of "Revolt" messenger to "Stoat."
