Is it in anyway related to this demon?
So I recently adopted a 12 year old cat, and he's the most social cat I've ever known. Every time you say his name in a high pitched voice he meows, and he's always talking. And he loves being pet and cuddling. He sleeps with me on my bed every night and when I move too far away from him on the bed he makes a little "rrrrr" sound and moves closer to me. He looks like pic related btw if it's relevant
is this normal behaviour for a cat or is he a unique kitty?
Mother trucker is just getting old.
Old people get lonely, so do cats.
He sleeps with you?Are you a girl?
Totally normal. He sounds like a lover.

Is this what gourami fighting looks like? I can't tell if they're getting along or not. Most of the time they're super chill and just swim with each other, no flairing, no touching. But the bloodworm feast seems to have sparked something. Even the guppies were particularly savage.

Looks almost more like mating?
>>2250168
I thought the smaller one was a male though? I'm getting a lot of conflicting opinions. It's characteristics match a female gourami's but I was told that a dwarf gourami female has no stripes at all. Here is a close up shot of him/her again.
Would a humanzee be entitled to human rights? Would a humanzee have natural rights? What about a humanzeezee? At what point would a human hybridization stop having rights?
Bump, used to scare my ex with stories of humanzees
only white men are entitled to human rights
It wouldn't have rights lol, except maybe for a timely death in the event an experiment went wrong.. it would be confined to a locked lab.. like splice.. ever seen that movie? It'd be like that. Not sure if they'd fuck it or not but knowing humans...
>birds don't bite, they have no teeth!
>>2250027
birds don't bite; they peck.
>>2250029
Say that to a parrot or a duck
>>2250029
Hey guys i have a problem with these insects showing up in my apartment i have been having bite marks near my groin region while i'm asleep anyone know what these things are ?
They seem to have some kind of feathery texture.
Anyone ?
Looks like a moth. You sure you haven't caught crabs or something?
Any body know what i can do with a cat skull?
Take it to the vet.
>>2249931
I don't know. I went over my friends house when I was about 16 and he lived with his practically blind grand parents in the middle of buttfuck. He had a big fire pit. As I got closer I realized it was full of cat skeletons.
>>2249939
What would they do with it?
So my cat has breast cancer (mass under nipple, bleeding), and I'm not sure if I should go ahead with treatment. She's diabetic, so I'm not sure if her body could handle treatment. She's my everything to me, and if the cancer is truly deadly, I don't want her to suffer in the face of the inevitable. Is it worth going for treatment?
>>2249888
Do you have any pitbulls in your area? Leave your cat alone with the pitbull. That's what I recommend you do.
>>2249890
I mean, I get this is 4chan and all, but trolling on /an/ of all places feels weird to me. It's like trolling /po/. Just weak.
>>2249918
The fact that you go on 4chan for advice about your dying cat, that is what's weak.
How do I get the smell of dog piss out of my house?
Go to a vet and put it down or give it to >>2249787
have you tried cleaning your house?
Have you tried pissing in your house? Show the dog who the master of the house is.
I understand the hatred for outdoor cats, but why indoor?
There's always some fucker (usually a tripfag) in a cat related thread shitting on indoor cats. I know you can have your own opinions, but I have a right to resprctfully disagree.
Please keep in mind I'm not defending outdoor cats. They just fuck with the ecosystem.
Indoor cats are really nice and affectionate if they are given room to be so. As someone who owned both an indoor cat and a dog, (not at the same time, of course,) I have to say that they were both equally affectionate. Cats even more, possibly. My two cats constantly crave affection and love. I can't sleep without one of them sleeping on my back, and the other will follow me for me to give it some pets.
>inb4 "they're just bored"
They have plenty of toys, scratching posts, etc.
>inb4 "they don't actually love you, you're just the giver and they're the receiver"
I can say confidantly that this isn't the case.
>inb4 "you're just triggered"
Well I can't keep putting up with these people in cat threads, especially ones where OP is coping over his loss of a cat, and some faggot makes a snarky comment about the cat not loving him.
Sorry, I just needed to vent. It's ok if you disagree, but please keep to your own threads. There are cat lovers in this board, and you can't change that. Sorry.
I don't mind other people's cats, I just don't want one. I agree with you OP there seems to be some disdain towards them. While I'm sure there are several people who don't like outside cats for the reasons you mentioned, I think there are only a couple of people that shitpost about indoor cats. Most of these people are probably doing it for attention anyway.
they smell terrible at best and their owners smell terrible at worst
>hurr durr not my cat
>mine super clean because i bleach 1000x daily and have 27 litter boxes and buy fresh clay by the truck load for odor control
how come "dog people" who hate small dogs and pit bulls always have obese retrievers or neurotic, unstimulated herding dogs?
>>2249646
What you are basically asking is why do people not exercise and stimulate their dogs, and let them get overweight.
It's been my experience that people with toy breeds, smaller mixes, and pretty much any other kind of dog are just as guilty of this as well.
To answer your question it is because of either laziness, ignorance, irresponsibility, or any combination of the three.
>>2249678
/thread, now fuck off op
>>2249646
I hate both of those and I have an Alaskan Malamute though, she's also on the smaller size for the breed.
Hey /an/,
WTF is wrong with my dog?
4.5 year old border collie mix that sheds horribly.
She's had oily, flaky skin for a couple months now. I brush her as much as I can, but it doesn't seem to help and now there's some light bleeding.
I've read it could be seborrhea, but it's probably autism.
Any easy ways to treat this?
your dog is fat
get your shit together and your dog will probably heal
>>2249639
Possibly food allergies. If you want to try something before going to the vet, try switching to a grain-free and chickenless food. Some dogs are sensitive to chicken because the chicken are fed exclusively grains that the dog is allergic to.
>>2249639
How often do you bathe your dog OP?
Do you think we could navigate on the sea if some of this creatures were still alive?
>>2249426
Most large sea creatures wouldn't bother messing with our tiny boats or would live so deep beneath the ocean we would hardly come in contact with them. The rest we would hunt to extinction.
>>2249534
>We would hunt
Talk for yourself, you disgusting asian
>>2249426
Liopleurodon and Megalodon might attack small boats if they figure out that they can eat humans.
Giant squids hunt in the deep so they're harmless to us.
Other shit is too small to attack boats.
Anyone here have experience with Dalmatians. They're gorgeous looking but every one that i've met has had a rotteb personality, and also had health issues.
>>2249424
very protective croatian guard dog breed
can be downright vicious without obedience training
>experience
I've had at least one for the 20+ years
>rotten personality
They're very protective and can be aloof to strangers. Like most breeds proper socialization with people and dogs alike is very important. They are as intelligent as they are stubborn, so be consistent with your training.
>health issues
This issue was exaggerated after the population boom from the Disney movies. They are a white purebred dog so the risk of deafness is just as prevalent as it 8s with other breeds. They also have issues with kidney stones. Do your research and buy from a reputable breeder. BAER tests for hearing, and ULA dogs are available for the kidney stone issues. Males tend to be affected by this more than females, and a low protein diet also helps.
I wouldn't recommend the breed to anyone who isn't willing to.spend the time and put in the work. However they can be a very rewarding dog, I am completely happy with mine. Check around your area for local Dalmatian clubs and get some hands on experience. Talk to owners, do your research and above all avoid BYB's these assholes are the reasons for most of the negative stereotypes associated with the breed. Everybody knows someone who had a dalmatian that did this or that and the vast majority of these dogs came from people churning out subpar dogs in an effort to.make money when every kid wanted one because of 101 Dalmatians.
>pic related, Ruca, 8 years old, perfect health and great tempermeant with people and dogs alike
>>2249497
this guy knows what he's talking about. if you socialize them and get them enough exercise (which can be a lot), they are excellent dogs.
Why does my snake sleep like this
Comfort?
>>2249346
It look like its dead doesnt look comfortable to me
