sometimes I let my cat go hungry to gain affection in exchange for food.
it's normal?

It's fucked anon if you are starving her. That's like serial killer weird.

In all seriousness I don't give my cats free food because they are indoor cats and therefore don't get lots of exercise. I will implement feeding time usually when I eat, or as a reward, and if I'm about to leave the house.

>cats don't love you

No this is completely fucked. Cats eat when they want to do you should just leave food out for it, you shouldn't have to ration your cats food just to gain affection

Today marks the second year my dog did not wake up. I still miss the hell out of him and think about him daily.

If your best buddy is still around, make sure you give him or her a tummy rub, scratch behind the ears, or and big long cuddle as soon as you can.

Hey /an/, I don't normally frequent this board at all, so I'm sorry if there's a general about this sort of thing (though I didn't see one) but I'll get right to the point- I'm getting my own place in august with a couple of roommates, and I really want to get a dog. I discussed it with my roommates and they said that was fine, and that they'd even help take care of the little guy while I was at work. I trust these two people a lot so that's not part of my question- my question is what can I expect if I get a puppy? In terms of training, care, bills, etc. I know dogs are expensive to take care of so I figured on top of my typical 6 months expenses in my savings I'd wanna put some money away for an emergency vet visit (or two).

In terms of owning pets before, I've owned 2 cats and 1 dog- but we had the dog when I was very young so I didn't do much with her except feed her, let her outside, and occasionally get dragged around by her on a walk.

I dunno what kind of breed I want just yet- but I know I want something I can take hunting, hiking, camping, stuff like that. I don't want some badass guard dog monstrosity, just a medium sized work dog with a decent temperment. Does anyone have any ideas for breeds, and tips for said breeds? I'd really appreciate it. I want to be the best dog owner that I can be so I don't end up hurting/killing/having to give away the dog.

If you get a puppy, it WILL occasionally piss in the floor, it's just what puppies do before they're trained. Keep those puppy pad things around and be prepared to spend some time house training it. Don't get mad when it happens, you don't want your dog to be afraid of you, just be patient and move it to the pad, and keep in crated or in a small room overnight with a pad.

The earlier you start training, the better the dog will behave as an adult.

It's currently 11 AM and the horizon as seen from Northern Norway is currently pink. This picture was taken yesterday at noon.

The sun does not rise during midwinter above the arctic circle.

The night has been long. The wind has been cold. Two weeks remain.

Soon.

I've been kicking around an idea for an app recently that would basically be a Pokedex for real birds. Find them and catalog them.

The hope is that people would get excited about birdwatching, and hopefully, conservation efforts.

What kinds of things would you want to see in an app like this?

This could be neat. It would be nice to have a profile to help identify the bird clearly (audio clips of its call, female and male markings, etc). Also some sort of photo sharing aspect could get people interested in the cataloging feature.

If you really wanted to go a step farther than just an interactive field journal app, you could put in some sort of simple virtual pet game aspect with pixel version of the birds being unlocked as you find them? You could decorate your "yard" with feeders and things for the birds to interact with.
>>
I like it.
I know there's some sites/forums dedicated to posting locations where certain species have been spotted. Not sure if there is an app for that since I'm not that autistic to keep up with that shit but implement that in it and I'm sure birders would be all over it.
>>
this is a really neat idea op
i think it would be cool to have tips on how to attract certain birds to your yard maybe

i'm also digging the idea for a virtual pet thing

My family is retarded, and through their irresponsibility and denial we currently have 19 cats (I think there's been 25 all up).

It's completely fucked. Instead of getting them spayed and neutered (because it's too expensive), they're happy to live blindly to the fact that they will keep breeding forever, and ever, and ever, and ever.

They're going to keep spending thousands of dollars a year on cat food because it's too expensive to get them fixed. Logic!

There's piss and shit everywhere, the house is infested with fleas... I don't want to live like this, but I don't know what to do.

How do you get rid of so many cats humanely? 9 kittens were just born, so getting rid of them would help tremendously. Bringing the grand total down to a still ridiculous 10 cats.

use them for target practice

You know you can literally have cats fixed for free, right?
>>
Take the kittens to a shelter and tell them you found them in the street they'll take the kittens from there and give them the proper care they need and you won't have to worry about them anymore. And since they're kittens they won't be hard to adopt out if you're worried about them being there forever or something.

After that take the rest of the cats to get fixed, if not the females then at least fix the males to reduce the piss oder a little
You can get cats fixed for free so tell your parents to eat a dick if they use that shitty "it's too expensive" excuse.

I don't know much about hedgehogs, but the cage seems a bit boring. It seems like it's a good size, there just isn't much to do. Maybe around 6.5/10, above average but missing something. I also can't judge it accurately because I don't know how much out of cage free time he gets; that makes a big difference.
It'd be a good idea for future posters to include how many animals are living in the cage; it's not always obvious in the image and it makes a big difference.

Here's mine: Six rats in a double critter nation cage. I usually have more stuff in it, but lately i've been lazy. The rats who actually enjoy being out of the cage usually get to run around for an hour or so daily.

my hedgehog usually get around an hour-two hours out of his cage daily. he doesnt really enjoy toys aside from his tube, which he sleeps in, his crinkly ball, which he only enjoys if i crinkle it around for him, and his wheel. he use to have more things but they were just taking up space in his cage because he wouldn't do anything with them. he does have some larger tubes and stuff that dont fit in the enclosure, which he uses when hes out and walking around. also, its only him in the cage. hedgie are pretty solitary

you gotta pretty nice cage. does fleece work well? like is it a pain to clean or anything? ive been considering using fleece for my guy because carefresh is expensive and he hates pine shavings with a passion for some odd reason. doesnt seem to bring him health issues because the shavings are cured then frozen to get rid of the oils and mites, he just really doesn't like them.

How do you cope with the loss of a pet? I just found out my 11 year old doggo has lung cancer. On the way to the vets with my father to say our last goodbyes.

OP here.
Goodbyes have been said. Poor boy whined every time he moved in my or my fathers arms. The vet showed us xrays of his lungs, they were filled with cancer. I live with my mother, and so has he. I got him when I was twelve, so he's lived in that house all his life. My mother is a heavy smoker, I'm trying not to let in thoughts of her being the ultimate reason why my boy was in so much pain.
