One more thing: What would be more appropriate to attach the legs to, the top or the bottom of the sacrum?

>3D model
Are you making a figurine to print? A model for a game mod? A model to animate? Depending on your answer, your base will vary.

>Would this vary between a human and a catgirl?
The sacrum? Yes, it is where the tail attaches. Your base will stay the same.

>Also, how agile are tails? Would I need a certain number of caudal vertebrae to be independently controlled?
They are just as flexible as, say, a snake. Rig it with about a dozen bones. Real cats have more, but that will give you all the flexibility you need. Could use fewer joints by just keeping the middle of the tail straight.

>What would be more appropriate to attach the legs to, the top or the bottom of the sacrum?
Legs don't attach to the sacrum, silly, they go into the pelvis. Your hip bones do attach near the top though.

>>2024029
A model to animate, and I'm trying an experiment in model topology where I see if I can get one model to be able to be roughly reshaped into numerous mammals which could save a lot of work.
And by leg attachment, I meant to ask which vertebrae the pelvis follows.

So, the pelvis follows the top of the sacrum? That's incredibly inconvenient, unless I decide to have it so that the base of the model with regards to posing is not the hips. I really don't know where I should have it.

I love my grandmother but this fucking dog. She has a chi also but he gets none of this treatment because he's a real dog. Fucking Oliver man. Little shit grins at me too.

>Vet asks where we found her, mention crazy horse lady

>Dogs had 2 litters of puppies (3 adults, 13 puppies between them)
>Chickens lived in literal shit, many were decaying and/or dying and/or sick
>Cats she didn't do jack shit for; none were fixed, no shots, just let them run rampant and have kittens
>What was left of the goats was being eaten by the dogs
>All animals repossessed (the living ones, at least)
>Tried to trap all the cats; almost got Kitty by informed them that I'd been taking care of her and got her fixed/shots/etc. and they left her
>Crazy horse lady still tried to sue animal control saying that they were wrong and that all of her animals were sick to begin with

No idea what happened to her after that. I still don't know where she got the money for half the animals, but fucking hell, she was terrible. The areas she kept the horses in was maybe, MAYBE the size of an average bedroom; no more than 650 sq. ft outdoors. The "stable" was literally a shed that one horse could fit it. They got in fights regularly. It was bad.

Fucking hell, that's not suitable for half a horse, let alone 4. What happened to kitty?

I once had a dog that whenever I let him off the chain would run headfirst into the back door in his rush to get in.

More photos.
The guy with the website is pretty butthurt. I very politely asked a few questions, and asked if he had more pics. He basically called me a troll.

Do the leaves in this pic look like pole break leaves? Because they don't look like single, oval pointed phaseolus leaves to me.

you were supposed to cry you autist

>crazy dog
The only thing wrong with that dog was lack of training

>>2025606
Animals and animal training are just infuriating in 99% of movies.

>>2025510
Looks like he's 12,5% black.

You have a pit bull. He looks like a thick-skulled bobble head of a roid hound. Mostly like also has a constantly dumb look on his face. This is a pit bull.

Birds of different species may get along very poorly and even try to kill eachother. Or they may not, but it's best to just keep them seperated... you never know.

lovebirds are known for being aggressive towards other species, it depends on the individual, but generally lovebirds don't mix well...

some birds can though, my green cheek and budgies get along fine (they play together, share food, and can chill on their shared playground no problem), and they're cool with my uncle's cockatiel (occasionally the cockatiel hisses at my green cheek and she runs away, but mostly they just preen each other or sit near each other), but i wouldn't immediately trust any other bird with them, especially depending on the kind

>>2025782
Yeah different species sometimes have trouble getting along. What do you mean by attack?

At any rate it is best to only allow different species to interact under supervision so you did good.

>>2025743
There are lots of tutorials on YouTube. Look for the ones done by an adult and not 10 year old kids.

>>2026000
That's going to be fucking impossible, anon. Especially when the videos are by ehow.

Look for a well rated book on amazon, or just google budgie care/training guides OP.

girls are generally quieter than boys... boys will chatter, sing, and try to talk nearly all day whereas girls do that significantly less... but i like the noise personally, and most of it is pleasant (a lot of singing, chirping, trying to sound like r2d2 and saying "i love you" ) and it isn't overwhelmingly loud... though they do make a couple of terrible loud noises here and there, it's not a big deal at all and just kinda funny rather than annoying
