/an/, how many of you guys live on the east where this blizzard is happening?
How much snow have you gotten from it?
If you don't live in an area affected by this blizzard, whats the most snow youve ever seen from a single storm?
We've got ~30 inches of snow out here. I'm in the Frederick MD area which, while not hit the hardest, has been pounded.
Anyone live in that area in west Virginia that got 40 inches of snow? Got any pics?

How much will a flock of budgies fuck up my life? I don't have a house. I live in a rented apartment. I rent it from my parents, and they don't really care if I wreck it completely, however it's quite small (two rooms).
I currently have a female budgie and want her to be happy and shit, from what I now know budgies are very very very social.

>they don't really care if I wreck it completely
how does that make any sense?
Anyway, what do you mean by a "flock"?
Also the answer depends on how anal you are about cleaning. What are you like? if you clean everything constantly normally it wont be too awful.
>>
>>2043461
They wanted to give it to me but I insisted on renting. So while it's not technically mine, in reality I can do what I please.
Flock would be, I dunno. Two-three pairs of birds? I guess they'll breed and given how fast budgies multiply I'll end up with a thousand in a year.
I typically vacuum everything in the morning and before bed since I fucking hate duts, and scrub out budgie poo with wet wipes when I see it.
Is cleaning and feeding them 90% of caring for them? I thought I'll have to dedicate hours every day to them.
>>
Duts was meant to be dust, fuck I'm tired.

i have toxoplasmosis and i can't think of a good retort

Toxoplasmosis though. Not really an issue if the cat is indoors and isn't eating wild rats.
Still, when you have toxoplasmosis, and you get sick, it does more and more damage to your brain while your immune system is compromised.

You are more likely to get it from eating food you didn't prepare correctly.
Hell, there is a coins toss chance that you have it OP

Im new to the hobby. What is this ashy looking stuff in my tank? Should I be worried about it? It is on some larger leaf plants, my wood and decorations. It brushes off if I try though
By the way, I have no fish yet, just around 12 plants

He looks like he would be a beautiful drag queen with those fake lips. Other than that I don't really care for him. I feel like he's mostly just a TV icon with no real knowledge on dog psychology.
I've never had any pets before and I just got my own place. I want to get a wolverine because he's my favorite comic character. Does anyone have wolverines and can tell me how to take care of them? Since it's not a dog or cat will I have to pay a security deposit?

what's the difference between a melanistic and a black cat?
and is it true that melanistic animals are more disease resitant?
>I only found a study regarding melanism and disease with insects

Melanism is just the overabundance of melanin. Melanism has developed multiple, different times. For example, black jaguar's have at least one mutated MC1R gene to thank. Domestic black cats have 2- deletion in the ASIP gene to thank. I'm not sure why exactly it makes them a little more disease resistance though. Here's some stuff for you to read if you're interested.

hey, my dumbass parents let their cat outside during this fucking snowstorm and now they can't figure out where he is or how to get him out
There's no tracks, and there's a deck right outside the door that it's possible for the cats to go under so we think he's probably under there
We don't have any tuna to lure him out, only chicken breast, and we don't have anything loud enough to scare him out
We also aren't 100% sure where they enter from, but most of it is blocked off by a wooden grate (and like a foot of snow right now)
How can I fix this for my idiot parents? Pic related it's an old picture of the cat

Why does my cat constantly cry and scratch at the carpet outside my door?
Half the time he just goes in, rubs against my legs for a minute, then scratches to get back out
Pic unrelated, wasn't able to find anything else with an animal in it

Our cat does the same thing, we think its because he wants to have the ability to go where he pleases regardless of if he feels like being there at the time.
>>
he's worried about you
masturbation and idleness are the road to a bad end
>>
My cat does that to my basement door. She'll meow at the door until I open it, she peeks inside, and then trots off, only to return 30 minutes later and repeat the cycle.

I have two cats. Both are female. Both were adopted. Both the same age and type of cat. I believe one is slightly mentally slow either due to past owner experience or natural birth defect.
I was gone for a 3-day vacation and the other cat (the one without mental issues) was acting more hostile towards the other than usual; going after her after I saw the first assault and then again after pushing her away the second time.
The one WITH the mental issues seems to have trouble with figuring out I don't want her getting onto my bed and other surfaces. Yes, I know they're a cat, but she should still have realized a pattern by now.
As I believe putting any animal BACK into a shelter is being cruel, I'm considering putting them both down myself because I'm not about to spend money to have someone kill my pets. Humanely or not.
One; Because they simply don't get along with each other. And two; because both of them have trouble with understanding what I don't want them to do to some extent.
Also, the one with mental issues seems to have a (possibly multiple) health issues as well aside from the mental issues. Both are loving and caring to people while separated from each other.
Most of all, I'm just done with having to further give any more emotional investment into either of them when being their owner in the first place wasn't my decision. I had animals growing up and I loved them. They lived happily and died of old age. I'm just getting at the end of my rope.
Thoughts? Opinions? This isn't bait or anything of the sort. I'm just grasping at straws, trying to get additional angles.

About 9 years. I believe the mentally challenged one is a bit older though, As I said, I'm not being a fuckwit about this and trying to troll. But I'm sorry. I should have stated how long I've had them.
>>2043734
I've both seen this done many time in my youth and done this myself. However, I live in an area where the concept of outdoor animals or any pet outside and NOT on a leash just doesn't exist. As much as I want outdoor cats like I grew up with, this simply can't be done here.

So my shi-tzu sneezed a little bit of blood this morning, should I just put her down? she's pretty old and deaf (blind due to cataracts) I heard nose bleeds are usually cancer. Can't afford a CT scan at the moment. took her to the vet and told just gave me antibiotics and that vietnam blood medicine.
Advice?

My roommate stepped on my kitties tail. After making him pay for the vet visit, the tail wasn't broken, just soft tissue damage. It scabbed up considerably and now it just looks like a small but notable cut going across the tail. Is there any cream or ointment I can put on it to aid the healing process?

I think it's best not to put anything on it. It will probably heal on it's own, and if you put something on it, your cat will just lick it off again. So if you put something on it, make sure it is something that isn't dangerous when ingested.
