Disgusting creatures

It's like someone is going through the checklist of bait for /an/ and every week posting multiple threads of the same bait.

Completely and utterly retarded. There is plenty of other cats you'd love just as much, if not more.

Cloning in general is fucking stupid unless it's for organs or bringing back awesome prehistoric animals but even then it's a 'just because we could' situation since there isn't enough genetic diversity to keep it from going to shit. Cloning because 'muh pet/family' screams mental illness.

>>2443055
The process itself is not THAT hard to do, at least if you work in that field or studied molecular biology or genetics or something and you know what you are doing.

BUT it works about 1/500 tries and for every try you need a new Oocyte from the surrogate mother as well as a new Nucleus from your cat's cells (from any cell, but make sure the DNA in this cells is undamaged

You also need a pretty good genetics lab, not one of those half-serious ones.
And if you never have worked in a genetics lab before, don't even try it

Oh boy

>>2442258
Just toss peanuts all over your yard maybe with a little pool of water your cat might be able to get squirrels and stuff.

>>2442271
Honestly even dollar store cat food would be better and more affordable for your cats than the risk of having to shell out thousands to get bones or parasites from feral birds out of their system

I just got a pit mix puppy and I'd love to share a pic of her here but I know /an/ will bully. She's really sweet and loves to give kisses

>>pit bulls are mean, aggressive, viscous dogs
Doesn't look like a real pitbull tbph. If it's a real pit it will be dog aggressive even if you try to train it not to be. Pitbulls and other fighting dogs were bred to be DOG aggressive. Anyone who knows anything about pitbulls or fighting dogs in general is aware of the difference between dog aggressive, general aggression and human aggression

As long as you raise her with love and affection, and socialize her properly with other dogs you have nothing to worry about.

>>2438044
Flying ticks with the venom of a blue-ring octopus, the poison of a yellow poison dart frog, the swarming behavior of bees, the aggressiveness of an australian magpie during breeding season, the survivability of tardigrades and asexual reproduction.

They'd go extinct right after they made everything else extinct.

Have you tried closing him off to the area where he pisses? Does he pee on soft things? Honestly there's a plethora of problems that could be attributing to litter box problems. This site has addressed a ton of potential issues and their fixes, probably the biggest list on peeing issues in cats that I've seen.

We did yesterday he just pissed in an empty box near the door. The guest room where this is happening is near the back yard and ton of cats are around the area. I wonder if adding a second box for him to mark in would help. Thanks for the link.

Hey, catfags, this cat showed up outside my apartment a few days ago, maybe half a year old, bony as hell, if I feed it a little bit, will it eventually learn to fend for itself? or should I just go after it with a shovel right away?

I've always heard that birds like guinea hens and turkeys were good for eating ticks. Is there a bird species that loves mosquitoes?

>>2427692
I don't know about adult mosquitoes but I'm sure aquatic birbs love to eat their larvae

SMASHED

USA or UK?
I've never seen a roan rat in the US. Last time I checked we had two harley breeders but both stopped breeding years ago and I haven't seen or heard of any since.

>>2446145
US. I'm in the midwest where the Seoul virus was found, so not a lot of options in my area. Have to go to another state but have seen some Roans and Harleys for sale.

I've been warned that Harleys are only bred by amateur or unethical breeders because of the issues with the lines making them not worth breeding. A big one being lactation problems so I can see how that poses a problem. But how would they change these traits if they're not being bred you know?

>>2446147
Hearing they have lactation issues reminds me of hairless rats. You don't breed hairless to hairless, but furred female to hairless males. Half the litter is usually hairless. Hairless females tend to not lactate or are all around horrible mothers. I suppose you'd do the same with harleys.

I'm sure you read this already but here. This was one of the breeders i mentioned. She hasn't updated in years so I have no idea if she is still breeding but she might answer an email. I've actually gotten rats from her before that were healthy and lived longer than average lives.

New species are found all the time. Give it a go. The main problem is the description and cross-referencing it with existing descriptions. There are all sorts of new discoveries that have been discovered long ago. We need a proper online database for this shit.

You put a drop of pondwater under a microscope, look around until you see one microorganism that looks different from the rest, and then what? How do you go about identifying it when it's hard enough to identify a bug you find in your house or a plant growing by the side of the road?

did it have gross eyes it's whole life?

F
sorry for your,... Or someone else's(?) loss.

>>2445837
Ah, phrased that badly. She's mine. Posted a thread asking if anyone else's dog had similar symptoms, was still waiting on tests at that point. An anon asked me to post updates when I found out what happened.

dumpass. it's late.

How do we save equines from the shrimpies, /an/?

>>2445700
Shrimpers are too afraid of horses to bother them. Come to think of it, a lot of average guys are scared of horses.

These charro spics in Colorado have a goddamn hatred for horses even worse than the one they have for dogs, though, and they're p shrimp tier.

Those.... aren't plants. ....They're fish.

>>2445705
honestly can't tell whether you're sarcastic or not

Please take your trendy neo-paganism meme to Reddit.

I dunno, they liked to sacrifice horses a lot. Though I guess it could be due to how valuable they were.

I'm not sure anyone else will have these, its a little niche

It used to be a major meme 30 years ago
