easy.

Step 1. Build a time machine
Step 2. Spay the cat

Sounds awful, but consider it from the perspective of the cat:
they seek the safest place in the house to give birth, and that just happened to be by your side.
You should've hidden a few boxes with blankets around the house so she can pick one to give birth in a safe and hidden place.

cats are yucky, your life is gross, your facial hair is icky

It's a mutt you stupid fucking faggot.

I'm very sorry for your loss OP. Olaf sounded like a very nice cat, 10/10 would pet.

Another negligent owner, another avoidable loss.
Move along, nothing to see here

>it's an "outdoor cat owner is surprised when his cat goes missing" episode

>>2193783
wow that's a talented cat

Well, most seem to know it's some sort of call for their attention, not the same as "come here" but really, something like a name is probably a really complicated concept. I've seen dogs and cats know a word for other cats and dogs, like you tell them "Pat" and they know Pat is the other dog, but usually they just find them or point them out or something.
Neither cats nor dogs have such large parts of their brains dedicated to language like humans do, so something like a word for themselves as individuals might be something they can't get into.
I don't even know if they have a concept of themselves as individuals although I assume they do.

If you have 2 dogs, will they understand that a word is used to call one of them, but not the other?

I've heard pigeons are actually pretty accessible birds. They're quiet, don't require a lot of interaction or toys, just a large cage (you can use a large dog crate), diaper changes so they don't crap everywhere and of course, lots of time outside.

You do have to keep two of them and destroy their eggs when they lay them though, and they might build random nests around your house, but it's kind of cute to have the two married pigeons and they seem to have cool personalities. Also, they're large and come in many different shapes.

>tfw your cockatiel is dead
I wasn't home when it died. I never know what happened. My parents and my older brother were at home but they just suddenly found it dead on the floor.

>>2193718
Don't worry. With proper affection and rare neglections towards your kitten he will become better over time. Being patient and reassuring him in his sleep should help as well. ;D

>>2193732
thanks
how do i reassure him in his sleep?

>>2193735
Gently let him in his favorite spot. Also, if he's close enough, keep an arm or hand by him.

I always liked treefrogs.
They are just badass. Lucky op.

>>2193703

Sometimes when i open the door they jump in and go racing around the house. I have to chase them down and catch them

>>2193706

Its really cool when you get random pets that take care of themselves and you just co-exist. Also goes to show that every animal, even amphibians have some level of understanding when it comes to trust. You put them outside and they keep coming back because they know you wont hurt them. Neat.

go away faggot

>the landlord for whatever reason doesn't want to call an exterminator.
if you're in the united states, that's literally illegal

tell the landlord to hire an exterminator or you'll be seeking the services of an attorney

Basically a wild squirrel that is incredibly sensitive to warm temperature. Lots of work. Not recommended unless you really REALLY love chinchillas.

>>2193578
Poop a lot, require a lot of attention. But they're super soft and friendly, I'd say. The sand baths they take are fun to watch.

>>2193578
Degus are less hassle yet similar & much smaller. Big personality, and the live for around 8 years!

Still shit a lot though.

Chinchillas are cool, but can be a pain in the ass

Do they jump when disturbed? If so, they're just springtails.

They just wiggle and crawl if disturbed. No sign of them on the stems or fronds.

Idk if they always been there amd i never noticed. It if the plant food mix and heavy watering drive them to the surface.

Should i be concerned?

Anyone? - sorry, im that guy...

I think both are cool, just because cats are more I dependent doesn't mean they are lesser

>>2193242
Not the one I had been looking for, I'll save anyways

Oh yea. Also the kind of snake I want is probably somthing small like a corn snake.

>anthropomorphizing

>>2193185
What did you call me?

>ITT: We anthropomorphise by projecting stupid memes on animals and make up non-existant rivalries between different species and families
I bet you actually believe that cats and dogs consider each other rivals, too.

>>2193240
Well I moved in with new roommates who had a dog and my cat will NOT come around the dog, and it hisses everytime it walks toward it. The dog is very calm and nonthreatening, but the cat won't give it a chance.

cats are assholes and cat people are homosexual assholes
