Cats. All felines. Thomas.

I have to say dogs.
They're just too fucking cute.

Brown recluse.

Honestly, a good quality dry food definitely will give them the nutrients they need. The major fear with not feeding wet is the moisture content because cats are at risk for UTIs and other organ problems from being dehydrated. They didn't evolve with a normal thirst drive like some animals, so making sure they get enough moisture is a MUST.

My suggestion is that you keep the water fresh and clean to encourage drinking, and maybe get one of the fountain water type things.


You can also buy bulk meat and just freeze it and on occasion cook her a little handful of un-seasoned meat. I wouldn't try to feed only that because you could leave out a critical nutrient, but it definitely wouldn't hurt.

A yearly check up at the vets is also really helpful.

No, you are a cheap ann fucked up bastard. Worst owner ever

>>2086458
As far as I'm aware, that would be fine, but other people may know better. There's no reason your cats are special snowflakes though, and you should be able to wean them onto the wet food.

Reminds me of this photo I took a few months ago, not parrots but pretty sure they are birds.

yes

Don't look like a crazy cat collector? Man I dunno.

By actually have an adequate home for a cat prepared/knowing your basics before you adopt it.

>oh no they want to make sure I can take care of a cat before I get one!
It's almost like they don't want animals going to shit homes and being returned in a week or two. Hmm.

I've never managed to stay invested enough in Saintpaulias to not neglect them to death so ideally I shouldn't try to hand out advice, but ... The container you have yours in looks too large for it. It would probably do better still if you downgraded. Otherwise, I guess it looks alright enough but again, I'm no judge.

>>2082677
Better to do the soaking for less than a day. A couple hours would do.

If you smoke, mix a little bit of ash, like a pinch or two into the soil, between waterings.

>>2082677
African violets HATE waterlogged roots and stems, make sure that you aren't killing its basal leaves/crown due to overwatering (grey rot).

we know you didn't die antman.

she has all seven of her nantics from last year as well, clutch of eggs from last fall that don't look so good (i think their dead, brown and crusty looking) they haven't grown any more since last fall but they are still carrying them around but i think that is all instinct

Get a cuttlefish man they're the bomb

both f those creatures are bad for a tank that small.

Get dwarf cichlids and plants. They'll have bebes and make little paths.

I really like sharks though. Are there any sharks that i can put in it? I mean, the pet shop had like 20 of these things in a smaller tank

>b-but anon theyre scary!!

>can't spread rabies

this is a lie

OIDF pls go

>>2088135
It's not impossible, but the likelihood of a possum having rabies is extremely low due to their low body temperature. Domestic dogs are much more of rabies risk than possums.

Fuck off

>>2087370
You must not have a good explanation if all you can muster is "Fuck off". Wonderful debate.

You should pursue a career in politics.

>>2087372
I say that because this topic attracts the worst shitposters on this board like flies to shit.
Now fuck off.

A cocoon

It's a chrysalis, the cocoon a butterfly caterpillar uses to metamorphose. It's probably a monarch chrysalis.

Cockatiels are lovely. I'd love to have one but I'd rather not risk it with my caique. Pic related, this is her being smug after murdering my t-shirt.

My three lovely birbs.
Their favorite things include pooping on the wall and happily screaming at each other when the sun comes up.
