tl;dr: I have a angry dog. Can I get a cat without it being killed?

>>2475645
no, kill the dog and get the cat

>>2475645
Make your dog not want to kill things.
Maybe then...

Not my pet, but I stole someone's cat when I was a kid and the memory always stuck with me.

>be 9
>come home from school on a rainy day
>find a very wet cat sitting on my porch
>short-haired calico, mostly white with a round face, imagine if those maneki-neko figurines were real cats
>she seems friendly, pet her and bring her some chicken from last night's dinner
>she keeps showing up on the porch or in the bushes knowing i will bring food
>she has a collar, i later found out her owner isn't home a lot and the owner's roommate doesn't like cats, so she's an almost exclusively outdoor cat
>one day while i'm getting her food i forget to shut the door all the way
>she follows me inside so i let her stay
>this becomes a routine, she sits on the couch with me while i watch cartoons and do my homework
>when she's ready to leave she walks to the door and i let her out
>she's smart too, never pees in the house
>it's getting colder out, one day she leaves then comes back at night
>i let her sleep in my bed then let her out before i go to school in the morning, this becomes a routine too
>owners don't seem to notice, mom likes cats so she doesn't care and even buys a bag of cat food
>really just the sweetest and most docile cat
>every day when i come home from school she's chilling on the porch, or i hear the bell on her collar jingling and know it's time for her to visit
>one day i hear the bell and there she is, running across the street
>a car comes out of nowhere and hits her
>i don't think it hit her very hard, but i think it gave her a heart attack, i'm not sure what happened exactly but she's able to run the rest of the way across the street then dies in a flower patch outside this thai restaurant
>cry and cry
>driver gets out of the car, not a mean guy, he just didn't see her
>thought she was my cat and immediately starts apologizing
>her owner's roommate sees and calls the owner
>they are mad at me for stealing the cat
>thai restaurant owner probably cooked her

A tapir is my guess.

Agouti paca. South American animal, I think. I see them as exotic pets in the trade sometimes.

OP here, that was it, thank you so much.

Most animals know to get out of Dodge when a storms coming. Only help the ones that can't help themselves. But I won't go hunting down animals to help thou

I would take my animals. And animals that look like they need help, as long as it doesn't put my family at risk

Thanks OP. I was wondering how I'd get my chickens out if shit went down. That said I'd bring my dogs, chickens, ducks, and chinchilla. Fuck the rest, fuck my neighbors animals, and fuck any strays. Not getting caught in a flood cause of some random shit.

I think the only thing fish think is 'good and 'danger'. Their danger sense isn't terribly bright though unless they are the kind of fish that naturally hides 24/7 like that weird wormy ocean fish that lives with thousands of its children.

>buy a 2 beta fish cause dumb
>bitches fight immediately
>give one to friend, buy a bigger fish
>bigger fish passive but could easily kill beta
>beta proceeds to "fight" the big fish
>big fish is a bitch and won't fight back and will cower when I feed until beta goes away from food

Depends on the fish, Oscars for example are smart as fuck and can be trained to perform simple acts like pulling a string to turn their own light on or off, dispense a treat.

The price you're going to spend on the vet bills for a feral cat are going to be a shit ton more than the adoption fee.

But sure. Pick up a cat with a tipped ear for convenience. You'll still be paying for the worms, fleas, vaccinations (assuming it doesn't already have a fatal disease) and any injuries it has.

Even after it's tamed it's still going have behaviour problems, most likely spraying and shitting all over the place.

If it has the tip of its ear cut that means it's vaccinated with the basics and/or defertilized.
If you take a cat from the street it's not necessarily feral. Many cats are dumped when they grow up and aren't a cute little kitten anymore, when the owners take a long vacation and don't have anyone to care for them, or whatever. Never heard of the burrito thing, and I'm sure it'll be hard to get them in.
Also, cats in pet shops are relatively well off, they're not going to starve or get run over or something. In my opinion taking a cat from the street is morally better, but desu who the fuck cares.
Image related, it's my first cat

>>2475406
These cats live right by a walmart, in the bushes. I doubt they have a home.

This server is a lot better desu.

Mostly because they're poor and when you have limited financial resources you tend to prioritize preparing for long-term, possible problems like hurricanes less than preparing for immediate, guaranteed problems like starving because you didn't buy food.

I just gotta say she is cute! Congrats anon. I hope someone chimes in with some good advice.

High protein diets are essential for growing rodents and that's about all the more I know. I would suggest going to an exotic animal clinic if you have one around you. They'll have tons of great, way more reliable info for you
