Had this problem with one of my cats. It's literally one of the easiest things to solve
>get more litterboxes and put them in places the cat goes to a lot
>give it things to climb on and toys so it feels more confident
>if it doesn't work, take it to the vet

Most beautiful game i've ever played, like having a virtual open water aquarium.

>>2329518
I loved it, loved seeing every single random species show up. The second to last area blew my mind, did not expect that shit.

>>2329516
It's awesome. Thanks humble bundle.

looks like an infection or cancer take it to a vet

>>2329513
It's most likely a fox tail caught in there, and yes, you will have to take the dog to the vet because by the time you notice the fox tail, it's already so far up the skin that the vet usually has to use long prongs to pull it out and make sure all the pieces are out so it doesn't cause a horrible infection. If that is what it is, it will not get better on its own because it will just keep working it's way up.

Good news is, this is only about a $50 dollar visit for the procedure and their time.

It is a benign cyst btw.

She said they could remove it next time she was under anaesthetic for any reason otherwise it might naturally go away or we can remove it if it gets too big.

>birds on a plane

Christ and I thought 4 hours of a screaming kid was the worst that could happen.

Don't get a bird. They are too high maintenance for the kind of lifestyle you'll be having, not to mention being gone all day for class and they are very needy.

TV's are pretty great. This one was perched outside my house a few years ago. It looked like some giant Aztec thunder bird.

pretty good if you don't have it hooked up to a temperature controller.

>>2329406
Only goes up to 95

>>2329428
You always, always want a heatpad to be hooked up to a thermostat.

If you don't, don't be upset when it eventually burns the shit out of your animal or causes a fire.

Just cook it

I caught and released a shit ton of ground squirrels over a period of 2 months 5 miles away and not one of the little fuckers returned. They would have probably had to cross at least one highway though

There have been radio-tracking studies that showed squirrels are capable of moving up to 10 miles.

Of course, by moving a squirrel that far you might as well be killing them. They're now in an unfamiliar area filled with other squirrels that will defend their territories, they don't know the best places to hide from predators, and they'll likely attempt to cross roads on their way back to your house.

>>2329156
Best answer. Plus skin it and make a puppet with the skin for haunting children's dreams.

It's worth it but you're not going to get the same fish that you would out of a pond. It really depends on your knowledge level and space and time available. Do what you've researched and know

I use a much smaller system, where I have a 50 gallon aquarium with guppies. I have tomatoes growing in the filter, which I pick. I sell the guppies when they reproduce. I would agree that you should do your research.

>>2329483
I would research first, but I am more interested in it for the ability to farm fish for meat, than just for the produce aspect. Guppies would be worthless to me.

>>2329472
It would be better to farm fish from a pond, year-round? This would likely be in Idaho or Montana.

>>2329072
They have aggression problems involving other dogs and strangers even when well socialized.
Many Insurance companies don't like them and will bump up your rates if you have one. Some towns/cities have banned them.

Take that as you will.

>>2329408
I have heard American Akitas are actually slightly larger and more prone to stranger/animal aggression than the Japanese variety. Not to say that the Jap version isn't also prone to aggression

>>2329408
This.
They also don't really get along with other dogs, especially dogs of the same sex. Have an unspayed bitch with other dogs and brace for blood.
Like shiba inus, they can be 'catlike'. This is another way of saying that the dog will probably do what it wants and when it wants.

If you're experienced in large dogs, strong enough to handle them, don't have other dogs and have experience in stubborn, aggressive breeds then go for it. If not you might want to pass unless you'll commit to professional training if you're having issues. The earlier you correct behavior issues the better.
Puppy classes are a good way to start socializing.

Here's another angle

Yeah he is overweight. Check out that belly hanging over the back paw pretty far out.

If hes always indoors, get some balls, long string or better yet a cheap laser pointer to make him chase around. I bet after 5 mins he'll be tired.

Scratching and jumping are as much exercise as when you roll out of bed.

>>2328976
Any toys in the open will immediately be thrown out, I literally have to hide toys so he can play when she's gone, that's how much of a stupid cunt she is

>>2328327
No. Not your personal army. Do your homework yourself.

>>2328339
Ive already done hours of research and have written down a lot of information. Just asking /an/'s personal opinion.

>>2328327
keep in mind that much of the western world opposes engineering crops for drought resistance or any other purpose even if it means feeding billions of starving brown people to do so.

"Socially acceptable" means not manipulating DNA at all. Ever. If you can't breed it, it shouldn't exist. Yes, this is neo-luddism. Yes, it will presumably destroy humanity. It doesn't matter, humanity is circling the drain already.

>>2328263
They should have told you when you bought it.

Also I think you may be keeping it a little too wet. Even the moisture liking species can't stand stagnant humid air.

>>2328263
you might want to ask here: >>2323551

and if someone sold it to you without even mentioning the scientific name they have no clue what it is and since you're also referring to it by the common name I don't think it's gonna live very long in your care

house centipeed

vulnerable to fire. 1d6 damage. 2HP. 1d20 GP.

>>2327923
uh oh. when you find one, it means there's a breeding ground of them. of course, they don't ever all come out at once. i've only ever seen 2 at a time, but never in the same place, so i'm guessing they are solo creatures. but unless your landlord or whoever is in charge of the apartment maintenance literally tear out your floor boards and kill all their eggs, they're basically here to stay. expect to see more of them in the coming months.

they're not that bad, they eat termites, spiders, bedbugs, cockroaches, silverfish, etc.... they just ugly as fuck. never been bitten by one, but i don't think they're poisonous.

House centipedes are bros. they eat all the other insects in your house. they have no interest in humans or human food. they're ugly to look at, but harmless and actually kinda helpful

>>2327666
They want to get rid of the concept of animals.

what do you mean by getting rid of it? Liking putting animals and humans as equals?

>>2327666
They are big advocates of pit bull bans, because they know it's a slippery slope to eventually ban all dogs. They back BSL in the hopes that it will eventually ban all dog. Not even meming, they state it right on their website.

They also own a ton of stock in the different meat industries.

>>2327680
No, like there not being a single domestic animal on the planet
