so i recently got a new pupper and she's really great but she's too interested in my pet rats. she's lept and snapped at them a few times and stares at their cage. i love her to death but they were here first and i want them to at least ignore each other.

i tried to correct this behavior by spraying her with a water bottle, and while it's done great in keeping her away from them, her reaction is like, pure terror and she starts shaking. she also still seems to watch them although she doesn't approach them anymore.

are there any better methods of correcting this or am i just going to have to go the tough love route?

Hello /an/, cats recently came under my care. I moved to the countryside, there is a barn and a cat hanging out in there, who was fed by the kids of the previous tenants. I proceeded to feed it, it was a female. Cue litter of four, two died, probably shouldn't have touched them, as mother was not in the vincinity afterwards. She just left, I hope she's alright.
Now I have a troubled past with cats, when I was a shitty teen, I was still in the madness my mother (a downright crazy person) had wrought in the house. She is a hateful person, and when I was little, on holidays with her, she used to chase cats because they hunted birds.
So, as a teen, my friends and I had the grand idea to catch and torture a cat, I even thought it was some kind of proper revenge for birds... I will spare you the details, it's arab-kids-level.
This is the worst thing I have done in my life and I still feel guilty more than 20 years later -yes I'm an oldfag-
So now I have two little cats, pic related, roaming around and I'm worried something bad happens to them, like some twist of karma putting them on the way of deranged kids -though most are not as deranged as I was-, but that's just my paranoia.
I bottlefed them and now they follow me when I'm outside, answer my calls, they're very easy to catch (makes me uneasy, see above), they purr instantly when petted etc, human-bred cats it seems
I've wondered about neutering them but I find it repulsive, even if I have to deal with calls of cats in heat (both are female). I've done enough bad things to animals not to have them undergo surgery just so they are easier to live with.
Now my question: what the fuck is wrong with PETA? Everywhere I look on the internet, I see this fucking propaganda, “OMG NO DONT LET CATS FREE ROAM DONT LET THEM BREED :(((“

Hey /an/, So for the last year i had a small lemon plant, about 3 months ago it died, and something else started to grow from its base. It has curved spikes, and its leaves are pretty hard. I cant seem to get how it started growing from my lemon, and what is it. So if anyone of you fellas know, tell me.

(sorry for shit quality, more pics incoming)

So I went to a stone shack in the back of my garden and I noticed this hanging from the ceiling. There have always been alot of spiders in the shack but i've never seen anything like this. Does anyone know what animal does this? Picture has been taken in the Southern part of the Netherlands btw.
