Because she's got fuckin' nothing to do, I decided to keep my door open for her. Like I said, I've got some hazards in here along with things I plain don't want her to mess up, and she just doesn't learn to leave that stuff alone. Apparently this is why she's banned from the living room, since we have vidya consoles set up in there. So, I end up having to kick her out as well.

Letting her in my room seems to have been a mistake, as now when she's in a playful mood she solely seeks out my door and scratches at it constantly. A couple days ago she figured out how door handles work and, much like with wires, she just does not learn to leave it alone. I've lost track of how many times I've had to shoo her away just while typing this. I'm now physically losing sleep because it's loud as hell and she's waking me up. I'm stressed out that when I go back to work full-time she'll get in here and mess something up bad, or worse, hurt herself.

Catman says she's a difficult cat, but I dunno if anyone's been training her properly in the first place. I'm gonna get at them about it today, because it seems like a case of everyone wanting a kitten cause they're cute without wanting to put in any effort on maintaining one.

I didn't want to take the moral high ground since I don't really know how to care for them by myself (which is why I'd also really appreciate any advice). But then again, my very first day back here I walked fifteen minutes up and down the street on my half-healed leg for cat food because she'd had nothing to eat but dental cat treats for two days.

>>2298399
have you tried playing with her? tiring her out by playing with her might be the solution

>>2298399
also, talk to your roommates about getting her more toys to keep her busy. a cat tree and / or scratcher can help to keep her away from your things

Get another kitten, Much more profit

My family already did that last week. One of my stepdad's friends has a cat whose kittens weren't coping well with the environment of the house they were living in and were likely going to be put down if they couldn't get adopted, so we ended up getting two of them. I'm not at the house at the moment, but I hope my parents are taking lots of photos of the kittens while me and my sister are gone like we asked them to.

That sucks OP. Hope you find the phone. Next time though, use Dropbox to sync your camera pictures as soon as you take them so you can lose the phone without worrying about the picture loss.

My cat

>>2298036
Op here again, just wanted to add she's very lethargic and doesn't eat meat anymore, but she won't eat vegetables.

>>2298036
photo quality is too bad

is the water actually this shallow?
what is the diet?
how old is it?
temperatures water/land?
does it have an UV lamp?

>>2298045
Sorry about the quality.
The water's shallow, but like I said, I plan on moving her to a much bigger area within this week.
Her diet is mostly shrimp or other raw fish, sometimes chicken breast.
She's about 4-5 years old
Her land temperature is about 74 degrees or lower
Her water temperature is 70-74 constant
The light I bought says its a UV lamp, so yes.

You need some paracord.

Tie a smaller honda knot in the paracord at one end to make a slip leash then tie another larger honda to put your hand through as the leash.

When your walking the leash should be loose, when your dog is distracted check the leash with force to corret the dog, its tough love.

When making the correction you need to pull and release immediatly otherwise the animals natural instinct to pull against the leash will kick in, you want to avoid that.

Look up Big Game Indicating Dogs on facebook and the guy explains it alot more eloquently. You will end up with a dog you can have off leash which can follow you around.

How old doggo?

My 15 week puppy walks forever to any direction in forest but in suburbs he tends to stop and sit down to watch people walk by.

In big cities he walks just fine and doesn't care about people, if he wants to pee or poo he starts to stop and sit, same with if the walk has gone on for too long (15-30mins) and he wants to rest or go home. Generally accepts where to go and doesn't want to go certain directions.

But the problem is when it's a pretty quiet street and only one or two people walking around, puppy wants to wait them out.

It's been like this since I got him as 7 week old puppy. Trying to get rid of the "people interest" aka sitting down when seeing somebody walking near us. I asked a dog trainers and they just told to get the dogs attention by voice or treats and try to get them moving and don't let them take notice of the people.

favorite looking bird of all time

i have a cat and i wish it would die.

No. It'll look the same but won't act like it. If looks were all that mattered I'd just get another dog of the same breed.

The only reason I could see to clone would be for breeding purposes. Say you have a champion purebred that dies from an accident or it just never got a chance to breed with a suitable mate.

>>2297619
>No. It'll look the same but won't act like it. If looks were all that mattered I'd just get another dog of the same breed.

This. I believe they determined a while ago that cloning doesn't produce the same personality. And iirc, sometimes you can get an animal with different markings, even. It just won't be the same.

I don't really like dogs with floppy ears. Upright and erect ears are best ears.

My 3 month old bunny likes to pee on the dining room couch every now and then

Also, their shell color will change depending on what you feed them. I'm pretty sure it's possible to create something like picrelated if you add some special ingredients to their food.

Based on personal experience with my own puppy, it goes as follows.
Anger - whenever we try to clip his nails.
Happiness - whenever there's ham around.
Sleepiness - because why not
These 3 basically cycle over and over.

Isn't the general consensus that only dogs and cats have feelings and it's okay to treat the rest however shitty as you please.

Most if not all the same emotions as humans.

The better question would be: What emotions do animals not have?

buy a smaller, non wire frame cage with no holes and no space for your bunner to even move. duh. are you dumb op?

>>2296635
>No space to move
I don't want to coop up the rabbit more than I already am leaving him in a cage

>>2296638
>I already am leaving him in a cage
Exactly. That's the problem. Rabbits need more exercising and exploring area than a dinky little wire cage with wood chips bedding could provide. Many people today concert an effort to litterbox train their rabbits so they can just roam around. If not, try dedicating a room or part of a room fenced off for him to run around in.

What's he going to do, just sit there all day? Take time and let him exercise at least 1 time every day for a few hours

And stop using wood chips bedding, that shit is cancer
