No. Are you retarded?

Your cat won't get the parasite if you keep it inside and clean up it's shit everyday. You're more likely to get toxoplasmosis from raw meat than you are from your cat.

I'd say that I can't wait for summer to end, but I fear even the longest school year won't save us from this stupidity.

>tfw catfags are this easy to bait

Evolution doesn't always turn out perfect.

>>2188901
And animals have evolved behaviors that let them cope with unoptimal anatomy. Most animals squat to take a dump.

you need to eat the bacteria in your mother's shit to survive.

literally. It is required. You'll die without it. Just like every other terrestrial vertebrate out there.

i think the owl in op pic is drawn wrong, it has a flat face and a tiny beak

Owl skulls are shaped like most bird skulls but the feathers around the edge of an owl’s heart shaped face create a disc which works to trap and focus sound, rather like our outer ears. That's why they have excellent hearing.

Owls being portrayed as wise originates from ancient Greek mythology. Athena's symbol was an owl and she was the goddess of wisdom, among other things. Realistically though, owls aren't known for demonstrating noteworthy intelligence.

They have the means to do visual metaphors and visual hyperbole and you can't stop them. Is tiny hands cute on female? let's do it. Are child-like tiny features cute on an animal? Why not. Less hassle to shade as well. Or, you could just filter the photo, or do some computer modeling, but those are another genres of visual entertainment. You sound like those guys with "vegan" cats.

With guppies? 15. They eat their own fry so it'll keep numbers down, I'd suggest getting other fish that'll eat their fry like neon tetra.

>>2188664
ok. Thank you for your info.

Get this if you want to keep some of them alive.
Pregnant mom goes on top, babies drop to the bottom.

Kill your grandma and steal the pupper and put it in a good environment and socialize it with other puppers

Call animal control to take the dog away

>>2188611
I can't really get the pupper to socialize with other puppers unless I get it to a shelter or something, and god knows what the workers there will do to her when she refuses to let them touch her.

>>2188609
Grow up, I hope you never get a dog.

>>2188634

I'm not going to get a dog unless I can handle its exercise requirements, it is just a shame that if you can't dedicate lots of time your options are a faggot mini dog or a dog like a great dane which will die very early.

Bullies (pits, staffies, bull terriers, etc.) are very active, but are also happy as couch potatoes. Same for many retrievers.

Where is here?

>>2188614
In Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A stink bug. A late instar nymph, I think.

But how u know they evolutionary dead end?

>>2188404
Subjective. Wombats IMO are too bizarre to live. They have backwards facing uteruses and big bone plates in their ass.

Imagine the size of the braces it would need.

Same, bears are the best animals

If I couldn't be a bear, a whale or dolphin would do as well

If I could come back as a big fucking manta ray that'd be real chill

I'd like to be a worm because I'd have lots of friends.

Nope, Varanids are smarter and more interesting.

>>2188208
>smarter
That's incredibly debatable. Crocodilians are about as smart as reptiles get.

Looks like a Mediterranean house gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus).
