I once stepped on my aunt's kitten tail. He shrieked. I turned around to look where he was, without lifting my foot until I realised he was below me. Sorry bud.

How long are you typically gone a day and are you willing to spend a couple hours when you get home playing and snuggling with the cat?

Looks like a fledgeling, it is natural for them to leave the nest and hop, while their parents keep feeding it on the ground.
The best thing would be putting it back where you found it.
>>
>>2350301
put it back. the parents watch over them STOP KIDNAPPING BIRDS HOLY CHRIST

where do all these people even find them? there are birds everywhere where I live and I see nests in all the trees, but I have never seen a baby bird on the ground before

Relating moon rise/set to the tides. It appears that a high tide occurs during a moon set and again slightly after a moon rise. Low tides happen at the midpoint of this, when the moon is at its peak altitude.

Is it accurate to say that the moon is closer during its rise/set therefore the pull is the strongest, and when the moon is at its peak altitude the mooom is furthest away and the gravitonal pull becomes weaker.

I believe this to be because of the eliptical shape of the moons orbit. I am not sure though and don't have any sources.. it may have to do with some delaying affect of some sort idk. Anyone know?

Too tired to read everything and make sense but the gravitational field is not perfectly round, that influences stuff
>>
>>2350280
Yeah that makes sense. I didn't think that there was only one factor involved here because I didn't think the distance varied an extraordinary amount from rise/set to peak..

Dude what the fuck happened to ladybugs? When I was a kid, I saw them all the time outside, and like you said they were a deep red.

Now I never see them, and when I do, they're yellow.

Same with butterflies, where are all the butterflies at? I don't see those anymore either

http://fox8.com/2017/04/04/i-team-crackdown-on-chickens-in-town-filled-with-vacant-homes-and-trash/

EAST CLEVELAND - The FOX 8 I TEAM has found a woman threatened with a criminal charge for keeping two live chickens in her backyard, even though she lives in a town plagued with abandoned homes, trash, potholes and serious crime.

... Virginia Russell lives in East Cleveland, and she keeps two chickens in a coop in a backyard. She considers the birds to be pets, and she showed us they produce eggs.

Russell says this week an East Cleveland Police officer came to her and said she has to get rid of the chickens by the end of the week or get cited with a criminal charge.

At East Cleveland City Hall, the Law Director said a neighbor complained. Virginia Russell was warned last year. And simply, it’s against the law in East Cleveland to keep chickens. Law Director Willa Hemmons said, "The health hazard of keeping chickens, you know, in close proximity to where people live and reside."

Still in a town that struggles to provide even basic police and fire protection, we wondered why would the city focus on something like this? Hemmons responded, "Well, I don't think there's a focus" with just one case.

... [T]he neighbor who had filed the complaint called to say she was concerned about the smell and noise of the chickens and more.

If police issue a citation, Russell could face punishment up to 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine although she would not likely get a sentence nearly that severe.

Well, it honestly sounds more like a case of animal abuse.

Or the neighbors are just exaggerating.

why are chickens a health hazard to humans?

Have you neutered or spayed your pet?
8 posts and 2 images submitted.

Neutering your dog can help inhibit car chewing behavior but it's not a replacement for effective training.
>>
>>2349632
Let's be real, anon. That dog didn't chew the car. He crashed it.

Neutering does in fact greatly decrease the amount of car crashes caused by dog drivers. Without those hormones, dogs don't feel as strong of a need to drive miles away at 70mph to mate. Maybe Fido will think twice before meeting bitches he found on tinder.

My gf suffers from really bad combats related ptsd and her therapist has recommended a therapy dog to help her get back into the world since I can't be with her all the time. I can't seem to find anything online and the therapist can't help since the VA doesn't have much support with service animals. I live in the NE area if anybody could help that would be great.

reading tweets containing factual FBI crime statistics doesn't cause PTSD

if your qt3.17 gf really has issues, not necessarily PTSD, animals help

if you can get a doctor to sign off on that, you get to bring your dog everywhere except Tai's Pan Asian bistro on Northstar and Lane because they'd probably try to eat the dog

the Julius K9 harness is the best rated one on Amazon so buy that

don't get whippet. they're mixed up with the UK lo-fi house scene

I made my scalp bleed trying to think of a breed that doesn't bark and all I can come up with are Newfies

but you'd probably have to man up and wear the kilt in the relationship also learn pre-Octavian latin

I'm having some trouble with this dog.

About a month or two ago, he started to limp. About three weeks ago, he started to randomly snap at people and other dogs and try to attack them, particularly children.
Before this, he was the sweetest dog I've ever known. I have to believe that whatever is causing his limp is also causing him to be aggressive.

There's a big problem though - he isn't my dog. He belongs to my little sister, who promised she would pay for all the dog's expenses and take care of him. Soon after saying this, she quit her job. She no longer cares for this dog and leaves it at home all day while she hangs out with her friends. My parents, despite saying they "love" this dog, will not take him to the vet to get his limp checked out because they don't want to hear that it's hip dysplasia or something and have to pay a lot of money. I just started college and what little money I make at a pizza place goes to the animals I own myself. My parents make $160k a year and they will not take this dog to the vet.

So my question is, what the fuck do I do? I need this dog to get the care he needs because I love him and don't want them to have to put him down for biting people. I am not responsible for this dog, but he deserves to be treated better. Last time I was home I heard them discussing putting a shock collar on him and making him an outdoor only dog.

Oh, and just as a bonus - they just took their Maltese to get a $400 haircut, but they don't think getting this dog a checkup is as important.
>>
He likely has hip issues etc that will get more expensive if left untreated.

Try lying? Tell them you think he ate chocolate and you are taking him to the vet IMMEDIATELY and ask them to meet you there so they can pick up the bill or something like that.

It's probably infected or is going to get infected. Go to the docs and get that looked at.
>>
infected due to poor care of the wound, or it could be rat-bite fever (which can be carried by mice.) if you start to feel sick with chills, nausea/vomiting, body aches etc flu symptoms in anyway go to the doctor right away. but i would get that checked out just in case.

hi, i have a cat and when i make chicken noises she gets very affectionate and asks to be pet and purrs.

why does she do this?

Discuss anything aquarium related here, including inhabitants, decor and issues.

Google is your friend.
Feel free to ask questions but know that there are a lot of resources out there that could answer your question a lot faster and accurately than /an/.

Make sure to include these things in your post before asking because we can't help you if we don't have the full picture:
-tank size (include dimensions, not just volume)
-parameters (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, pH, GH, KH)
-any and all inhabitants + how long you've had them
