Pep spent 2 years in prison before he was “transferred” to Eastern State’s farm branch. Pep enjoyed his time at the farm branch, and after a long life, he passed away there. Pep was “buried…with a tender reverence in a favorite flower bed on the prison grounds.”

In 1924, in order to boost morale in the super overcrowded Eastern State Penitentiary, a “rather unusually intelligent” dog named Pep was sent to live at the prison with Warden Groome and inmates.

The Governor spent years doing damage control over this outrage. In 1926, Mrs. Pinchot declared that Pep “never killed a cat or anything else…It is all a slanderous and unjustified attack on his reputation.”

@pennyangelaa I think people are conflating trauma responses in animals with “being chaotic”. They just need patience and love! Miss mojo had a hard life before you

@pennyangelaa I agree I think certain genders and colors get adopted less for dumb stereotypes. It’s crazy because I’ve seen male cats be INSANE so I don’t know why people think they’re so calm.

Cryptid Rights Activists fear that Cactus Cats may become extinct if people continue to steal their mezcal. For the sake of Cactus Cats, please don’t drink any mezcal straight from the cactus! Read all my animal history and cryptid blogs at https://t.co/RBE2E1NGpb 9/9

To avoid the harsh heat, they’d carve out the inside of a cactus and sleep through the day. It would eat the bugs and juice of the cactus, keeping it hydrated. They were said to be immune to scorpion venom and would hunt them at night. 6/9

The winning female would then meet with the male and drink the cactus juice. The pair would get drunk and then produce a litter of kittens within the next few weeks. The kittens were born blind with no spikes. 8/ 9
