It depends on what you're looking for.
They eat and shit constantly.
From my experience, they don't seem to really get attached to you or like you all that much (but they are totally comfortable screaming at you when they want something)
Good with kids though. They don't really bite and don't seem to care how you pet them.

The work involved is almost the same as that required for rabbits so you may want to consider a couple bunny buns instead if you have the space.

Bugs....

don't get your bunny wet, fix them, and clean their anal glands.

Some cats just don't care much for people.

First cat I had liked being picked up, petted, held on my shoulder like a baby, it would walk up to complete strangers for affection.

I got two cats that seem to have Maine Coon parentage and they do like being pet (at their own discretion), but don't like being picked up at all, and run and hide in their cat tree if the UPS man drops off a package at the front door and run for their lives if someone other than me is in the house.

I think some cats just be that way.

If there's any chance to change it, it's probably when they're kittens.

Find a better vet that still gives a shit about his patients even on vocation. Those are rare but they exist (i was lucky to find one). The kitten might have intestinal parasites. Examine his poo.
That said wtf was your mother thinking giving a 3 month old kitty human food?

>>2447652
take it to another vet if you're that concerned. baby animals get diarrhea often. don't know what to tell you. maybe feed it quality food instead of w/e is cheap at walmart if you aren't already

She has been dewormed and de-fleaed for at least 1.5 month now, ever since I got her off the street.

>That said wtf was your mother thinking giving a 3 month old kitty human food
I know, I even told her specifically not to give her dairy products

I am feeding her Purina dry food, for kittens up to 1 y.o. I switched the specific type, about 3 days now, but it's still Purina. I don't think it has to do with her diarrhea though, since she had it 1 day before I switched dry food

look up if you even live in their range

>>2447628
get yer jandals out and smack the cunt

>>2447628
It probably wasn't even one, you pussy.

>>2447607
Yes, cats often refuse food and drink when they are stressed. In my experience you just have to leave him alone, give him space and he'll start eating on his own eventually. Put the bowls in the closet

ANYONE???

I have... I went to 3 theory gave me cream and wished me the best of luck.

Oh good job. I don't know how to cycle a tank after you've got the fish, but in a ten with just the one fish I bet you'll be ok regardless of what you do

>>2447486
Just do the water changes. It doesn't need to be as extensive as your guides say because you've got one fish in a 10 gallon.

Basically, without the bacteria to break down wastes, the waste builds up and kills your fish, but you've only got one small fish making waste in 10 gallons of water. Something like 20% every day or two should be more than enough for your situation.

Cats destroy the ecosystem.

If you love nature, you will not help cats.

There is no cat shortage. Donate to something important.

This. Neither of those groups are able to positively impact the world. If you find personal joy from seeing the lives of simpletons improved, go for it, but it would be better to help improve the lives of a group which would be capable of giving something back to humanity.

you touched shit

Seeds?

It's a philodendron. You cannot kill it. Trim off the dead leaves when necessary., and if you have a 4' long trailer, trim it to 2.5' and the short trailer will be more vigorous.
IIRC, you can push a node from the cutting into the soil and it will root in a couple months.

Thanks! I can trim it but I don't really understand the second half of what you said.

Depends on your climate. Area that stays mild to hot, Doberman. Area that gets between mild and cold Huskie or Shepard. Goes between hot and cold, get any dog and adequate housing for it.

I'm not going to put he energy in to fully formulate a post so here are the basics:
>many dogs, even from working line guarding breeds, are not naturally protective
>guard dogs are NOT aggressive; they must be raised lovingly and exposed to many different people and situations so they can better discern normalcy from threat
>protection training is very expensive but you could probably get by on sports with a protection element like Schutzhund or French Ring and even then it's still hard to find a dog temperamentally suited to this
>a dog that is guarding-capable is going to be a very challenging dog to own; they are confident, strong-willed, and seek challenge; they require a firm, experienced owner and lots of mental and physical stimulation
>these dogs are few in numbers and high in demand, so you may spend months on a waiting list to get a good dog, or even longer

With that:
Where is the property (climate will suffice)?
How many dogs do you want?
How much time and experience do you have?
How much money are you willing to spend per dog (includes initial price and shipping, possibly from Europe)?
