How is it getting in your house in the first place?

>>2040259
It gets here by the roof. It probably climbs some tree to get on it.

Conibear trap

centurions all the way. just my two cents but i detest javanica. something about those stripes is nauseating. they are like sandworms from beetlejuice, or obese waxworms.

>>2040227
No.

>>2040248
Are centurions easy to keep or are they aggressive shits like orange heads?

>>2039470
As long as it's not a shitty show line with an ugly slope back, go for it.

I read in another thread that you have to be extremely careful in examining the hip and pelvis area of the puppers before you get one because some of them suffer from early onset arthritis and osteo in that are due to the genetics of the breed.

>>2040286
Just ask your breeder if they're health tested. you shouldn't have to ask, actually; this information should be clearly presented. Check the breed clubs/website for recommended health tests.

Are you ok with becoming a serial killer in 10 years?

Well, could you have it put down and say it "ran off" ?

Somehow masking it as death from old age.

Is it really impossible to talk about it? Because you know that if they find out it's going to cause strife. But I guess it there isn't any strife to be had when you aren't on speaking terms to begin with.

Don't be such a neet maybe?

>>2039070
neet?

> being this new

Well declaring is cruel no matter the cat op. Did you do some research on these cats? I heard they're pretty high energy and give no fucks. I don't think your antiques would be alright even if you did let them outside in a rural area. Why not try an older dog or cat? Maybe there's an older cat that the previous owner declared already.

>getting a wild animal as a therapy animal
>getting a huge, high-energy cat when you collect antiques
>even considering declawing
>wants to let a fucking serval be an outdoor cat

pls no
pls no to all of this.

Get a shelter cat, an older cat that's either really laid back or already declawed from a previous owner. You don't need a speshul snowflake pet to keep you company. Savannah cats are notoriously destructive, and servals are wild animals.

I want an iguanua so, so, so badly. They are such cool animals and with proper care they can be so badass and live a long time. I have two dogs and am a poor wageslave right now, so I'm going to wait until I'm probably in my 30's before I get an iguana so it can have a giant tank and I can afford the best everything for it. I don't want to half-ass anything, I want to have a surplus of shit.

Also I really like alpacas but they require a lot of work/upkeep, maybe when I'm middle aged but it's just a lot of work

you don't get out much I guess.

dogs can also taste umami

>>2040082
Not exactly true. Dogs have the taste receptors for salt, but not many and they are not tuned to seek it out.

>Dogs, are not exclusively carnivorous, but are usually classified as omnivores, meaning that they eat, not only meat, but plant material as well. Nonetheless, in the wild, more than 80 percent of a canine's diet will be meat. For this reason, in addition to sensors for sweet, salt, sour and bitter, dogs also have some specific taste receptors that are tuned for meats, fats and meat related chemicals. Dogs will tend to seek out, and clearly prefer the taste of things that contain meat or flavours extracted from meat.

>Dogs, however, are primarily carnivores and in the wild, most of their food is meat. Because of the high sodium content in meat, the wild ancestors of dogs already had a sufficient amount of salt in their diet and did not develop our highly tuned salt receptors and the strong craving for salt.

>The sweet taste buds in dogs respond to a chemical called furaneol. This chemical is found in many fruits and in tomatoes. Cats are virtually "taste blind" for this substance. It appears that dog's do like this flavour, and it probably evolved because in a natural environment dogs frequently supplement their diet of small animals with whatever fruits happen to be available.

my friend let both of his beardies go free in his cactus garden

but his had nice heads before they were released

DNA changes each time, so does their scale patterns.

>>2037509
scale patterns are random, not inherited. similar to human fingerprints.

the third eye on beardies is always in the same place though.

yellow sac spider
raid or similar spider spray

>>2040134
i've tried the spider spray, it didn't help much and they keep showing up.

is there any other way?

>>2040137
they're attracted to gasoline fumes, so you could leave an open container of gasoline in a bucket with a small hole for them to get into and once you've trapped them all you could take the bucket outside and light it on fire killing them all.

that seems a bit dangerous though.

>>2038108
You can consult a veterinary nutritionist if you want to attempt a homemade diet. They'll help you and make sure you don't fuck up by accident.

>>2038116
I was thinking more along the lines of something commercial. I'm not the smartest and I don't want to fuck up, plus it would probably take a lot of time to plan out and put together. I'm just trying to avoid feeding my cat the equivalent of McDonald's for the rest of his life.

Ive read a few times that freeze dried is the best for cats, because there isnt the danger of raw and the nutrient loss of cooked. whatever u feed it, just remember to have little to no grain or fish. theres a type of canned food i get off the walmart online site because they never have it in stores called variety homemade.

don't be such a pussy

>>2039565
You are equally retarded for not doing the same to your cat.
If you want to breed your cats, either keep the indoors or away from potential mates.
Cry more faggot, you will still have to drown those kittens

>>2039610
he meant he had to kill his neighbor's kittens you moron
