The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉@Natasha_Jay My dad's tortoise and cat are mortal enemies. Most people don't realise that if they're warm enough, tortoises can manage surprising bursts of speed. And of course, the tortoise is a cat-proof animal so watching it terrorise the feline can be highly amusing.
Cetraria@ApostateEnglishman @Natasha_Jay Having lived with a former partner's tortoises for many years, I can definitely confirm this. Those little boogers can achieve a surprising level of speed if they're sufficiently motivated. The cats always gave them a wide berth. The more active male tortoise was always more interested in finding females than what the cats were up to.
