Sodalite or lapiz?

aventurine or some sort of jade?
A few years ago as I was scuba diving around 30m into the sea, I saw a giant red (octopus?) floating about gracefully in a mini 5m trench.
It was in the Aegean sea and was on the coast of the island of Euboea.
Any ideas what it could've been? I could've sworn it was an octopus - a lot of weird shit has appeared in the Aegean lately, like Atlantic Great Whites on the coast of Croatia.
It was dark, crimson red, and around twice the size of a soccer ball. Its shape and structure resembled a head and non-visible tentacles sheltered by some sort of cloak.
The coast I scuba dive in is only a kilometer or two from an area 2.5m deep (a significant deep spot in the Aegean), so maybe it'd seem logical that this type of sea life is coming up...
Any ideas?
2,500m deep*

Some type of blanket octopus? Only one I know of with a "cloak"

But it was crimson red? I've never seen an octopus with that colour in the Aegean in my entire life.

It is told that Muhammad awoke one day to the sounds of the Adhan, the Muslim daily call to prayer. Preparing to attend, he began to dress himself; however, he soon discovered his cat Muezza sleeping on the sleeve of his prayer robe. Rather than wake her, he used a pair of scissors to cut the sleeve off, leaving the cat undisturbed. On perhaps a separate occasion, upon returning from the mosque, Muhammad received a bow from Muezza. He then smiled and gently stroke his beloved cat three times, promising her a special place in heaven and bestowing the ability for cats to land on all fours.
Gives you a new respect for Islam, doesn't it?
This is the most retarded shit I've read in a while.

All this does is remind me of how homosexuality was widely accepted and even exemplified in Chinese history until the westernization of the country ruined it.
In fact, many gay men in China are referred to as "Cut Sleeve Boys" because an ancient Chinese emperor was gay as fuck, and one day when we woke up after plowing his lovers ass he saw him sleeping on the sleeve of his robe. Instead of pulling the robe out from under him and waking him, he cut the sleeve off of his robe.
Don't believe me, google it.
Also, nothing will ever erase the absolute sickening barbaric sheer ignorance that is Sharia Law.
Not really. To my understanding, many Muslims still hate cats and consider them unclean outside of the consideration of that one story.
I got pet mice today, and I think I fucked up.

>try to hold mouse, it bites me
>not really heartbroken, just put it back in
i'm now worrying if i've lost their trust, all the events just happened today
mice owners, if you get off to a bad start, will mice no longer trust you?
pic related, it is artist's rendition of mice
Mice are not too smart, they will get over it.

this.
Just make sure you get them used to your hands and stuff. you won't be able to interact with them properly if they're not used to it.
They're just stressed out because it's a new environment for them. They will come around pretty quickly though. Just give them treats, handle them often, and try hand feeding them from time to time and you should be all good dude.
How do I kill/keep flies and mosquitos off my porch? I take care of 3 feral cats and the food I put out for them attracts flies, which get into my house whenever I open the door and I don't want them getting any diseases from mosquitos. I need something I can use outside and is safe for cats
Also don't tell me to kill or get rid of them. They're all fixed and friendly but I can't bring them inside since my pet cat grew up as an only cat and last time he shared a house with another animal he got a bleeding stomach ulcer from the stress. I don't expect them to live more than a few years anyways

>I take care of 3 feral cats
>>2168866
I can't bear to put them down, and I can't bring them inside like I just explained. They're all fixed so it's not like they can reproduce
Anyways, answer the question. I'm sick of these bugs on my porch
>>2168857
Several different kinds of birds eat flies and mosquitoes, also there are different plants that act as a natural repellent.
>I take care of feral cats
Nevermind. The invasive pets you "take care of" have probably ate all the local birds and destroyed native fauna as well. Enjoy your fucking bugs.
I'm scared /an/
What's this on my kitten?

Is it not a cicada?
I need an anti-bark shock collar for a ~20 kg dog. The sort that warns it with a beep a couple times before actually zapping the animal. The shocks can be weak, because the dog in question is kind of a chicken shit. Unfortunately also the loudest and most irrreformable one we ever had. It's either the collar or he won't be able to run around the garden.
Any good models you'd recommend?
I have no expierence with bark collars, but I've read that they're not very good to use, among others because the shock collar might register other sounds (maybe a car door slamming or something) and shock the dog without it having barked, confusing the dog.
>>2168721
Honestly, he's the only loud thing in the house. I don't kn ow how fucked up detection would have to be.
>>2168607
My dog just learned how to bark in a way that didn't her
What good are hornets for? All they do is kill and steal shit, literally niggers of flying insects
pest control.
You could say the same for every other carnivorous animal.
Fuck tigers, all they do is kill shit. What good are they?
>>2168626
you know that every predator plays an extremely important role in it's eco-system
just look at what happened to yellowstone, for example
>Why dont you have a flirt pole for your dog yet anon?
I just made one and I have basically done 2 hrs walk in 15 minutes in terms of energy burnt.
>>2168578
Is it the thing kind of like a fishing rod with a toy at the end?
>>2168698
Yes but PVC pipe is better.
>>2168578
Why can't they teach dogs to use litter box?
i don't want to live with my animal's shit in my house stinking up the place
>>2168551
but if your dog is a in-house dog most of the time wouldnt you want to not have the chance of it shitting and/or pissing in a random spot that might be hard to clean?
>>2168561
are you fucking new to dogs? you can train them to not piss and shit indoors and you can even teach them to ring a fucking bell to be let out
I just had to shill 3,000 to hospitalize my dog for garbage toxicity and now this little fucker got out and came home with this abscess. What is it?
He didn't have it 3 days ago, but now it's swelling more and more every night.
>>2168278
looks like an infected cut, if it is tender (hurts) ajd feels like a pimple, try to pop it, but don't force it because if you have to it probably isnt. one of my cats gets similar things from i believe spiders, but those are hard. if it pops, put neosporin on it after you get any pus out. and monitor it and make sure it doesnt swell again
i don't think you have a dog at all, enjoy your cat
This morning my dog was acting lethargic so I carried him to my car and drove to the vet. They said he had a heart tumor and was bleeding in the heart sac. His name was Oden and he was 9 years old. In the span of 2 hours it went from perfectly fine to putting him to sleep. Love your dog while you can.
I stayed until he stopped breathing. Do most people just leave when they fall asleep?
Sorry for your loss OP. Oden looks like the best boy
>>2168237
sorry anon hope you feel better. he looked like a good dog
