If you are serious you can try to use a de-worming medicine and just put it in a can or just half a can of wet food just make sure it eats it all. But if you really want to help the cat is to take it in and keep it indoors and get it all cleaned up. It'll appreciate the environment change since and it'll actually be safe.

Forgot to add, the cat in that webm is limping with its hind leg turned out to the side a bit. It looks as if it got hit by a car or has an infection in the hip or something.

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into deworming medicine.

What I really wanna do though is take him to a vet so I know exactly what's going on and how to help, but since I have no prior experience with vets I don't know if I'll go through all the trouble just to end up with either a shrug or an expensive bill over a cat I don't even own.

I'd consider taking him in but my roommate's parents own the duplex apartment we live in and I've been told that she has incredibly strict ban on pets, i.e. not even allowed to have a lizard. Her mom's pretty overbearing and apparently doesn't trust her with pets. On the other hand, they allowed my three snakes to stay since I guess I'm trustworthy. Maybe if I pressed hard enough I could convince them that he's "my" cat, but I feel like that's kinda pushing it.

Have another pic, it's him on the porch outside my bedroom sliding door. He tends to gravitate around our porch and building a lot, probably due to the blindness and how we feed him.

They sold your friend a defective rabbit. Bring it back to the reputable retailer in which they acquired it from and demand a refund post haste.

>>2154339
Did you try turning the batteries around?

No way anything they did could have killed it that quickly short of stepping on it. Most likely preexisting condition.

Pet store sold them damaged bunny.

Buy from a good breeder, ignore the muttfags.

As long as you're willing to do some research and travel a bit to inspect sites and meet the parents you should have no issue finding a good puppy. Pic related, my pupper.

>>2154317
What should I ask the breeder?

>>2154317
And pay a lot of money.

>>2154320
Things like what they do with their dogs (agility, obedience, tracking, it does not have to be confirmation shows but they should do something), what are they breeding for (good breeders will have a goal in mind, but also keep in mind that not all goals are good), what health issues the breed has, what health tests the parents and grandparents have and the results, and if they are done yearly. Ask about their return policy and what would happen should you find yourself in a position where you can't care for the dog. Ask to see the contract and read that over. Ask about how often they breed the bitch, how old she is, how old the stud is. And obviously ask about the puppy's care; they should be indoors, they should be seen by a vet before you even get to them, they should have distemper vaccines and dewormer and flea meds before you have them. They shouldn't leave the mom before 8 weeks, some breeders keep them longer.

Don't feel weird about asking too many questions because they should be giving you the third degree too

>>2154304
No. It's just a dog. Don't attempt to impose logic on a dog'S sleeping position.

>>2154304
If the dog doesn't move, it's comfortable.

Doggos sit and lay in weird positions

>>2154269
If you mean budgies i have three rescued ones from different backgrounds.

In spite of all coming from bad homes, jealousy works wonders - especially if one is braver than the others. They tend to try new treats to spite the others lmao. That and they like trying what i eat.

i just give mine whatever and they try it, they can be weird about greens so i cook them mixed into eggs or the bird granola etc i make them but they're enthusiastic about everything else and like trying new food...

when i had two that were scared of new foods i hung them like toys, ate then offered them some or mixed them with seeds until they got over their fear and just tasted things i'd put out for them... my green cheek helped them get over their fear of new foods too

Eggs? Just fried eggs? Or boiled or what? Sorry for all the questions, just really trying to give hem a variety of foods instead of just the same hints over and over.

What

>>2154256
Uh.. in English, doc?

>>2154319
It's easy to read if you know what you're looking at.

I don't.

>>2154248
When I think predators, nights, and forests I think of big cats, specifically Jaguars. I have no clue where horns fit in as they generally belong to hooves herbivores.

>>2154371
Yeah I'd definitely skip the horns and go with skills like tree climbing and extreme stealth. They also tend to be sprinters instead of endurance runners so do with that as you will. Maybe a skill of being able to disappear into the shadows? It's been a while since I've played

>>2154248
Have you never heard of elder scrolls? Gotta go with The cat dudes man. They are perfect for the standard thieves build and are "apex" predator type creature.

>buying from shops is a sin

No its not. If the animal is happy and healthy there is literally nothing wrong with buying from shops bar the often inflated price. Breeders arent necessarily amazing owners; i know plenty of bird breeders who are in it solely for the money...

>>2154183

TAKE IT TO THE VE-

Uh.

Take him home! Better for him to live with you.

if you chose each other then get it

>>2154068
Just to be clear, you mean bitch as in the dog right?

You're mother's not a female dog, right?

Are you a dog??

"nociception"

how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

>>2153635
Meh, avocados are pretty bad for most animals to eat because of the fatty oils.

As far as why they're allegedly so bad for birds, I couldn't tell you.

>>2153635
actually avocado IS toxic to cats and dogs. please do NOT feed avocado to your pets.

>>2154173
it's not especially toxic to cats and dogs but will cause vomiting.

as for birds, they are in fact very poisonous. no idea why.

Wet food

>>2153625
They can do this pretty easily.
Wet food is the right answer like anon said. Cats soak up moisture well.

>>2153630
>>2153628
Not OP but my cat doesnt eat wet food. To the point where he needed to be hospitalized once because he didn't eat for the first 8 days we had him. We tried turning him to it slowly but if his food is even the slightest bit moist he wont touch it and would rather starve to death. Is there any fix for other than just shoving it down his throat?
