The dude has a PhD in Physics and has probably been keeping hots longer than you've been alive. No matter what you think, he's stayed breathing by doing something right.

Really qualyfied to talk about phyiscs. Not the subject being /an/ I guess

> been keeping hots longer than you've been alive.
That's what his fans keep saying and I don't understand why, because he uses it to say whatever he wants, complain about things he does and basically shitposting everywhere he can.

>>2014726
Some context here please?

You were probably acting like a faggot or did something stupid.

>non-verbal communication is creepy
Stay far away from deaf people.

I do it with my cat. It's a sign of trust, affection, and contentment. Cats don't use much verbal communication naturally, though they might meow for our benefit.

Kudos to your friend for being able to read basic cat body language. A lot of people never bother to learn.

>>2013594
It's how cats communicate. Cats don't like meeting the eyes of other people/animals, and blinking slowly is a sign that you are no threat. Same with looking away.

You've raised your hamster well. It will conquer a few lands and build up its army before returning to take you down. You have a couple of years to prepare, as is the way of master and pet owner.

I am already 99% sure that the cage will be too small.

Get a 100cm x 50cm x 50cm tank

Also pic related maybe, a clouded leopard skull. Very long canines and more pronounced sagittal crest.

Like Jaguars and Panthers today they'd climb up trees and drop down ontop of prey using their sabers (and the momentum) to stab into the backs of the prey. They died out most likely thanks to the ice age causing more grasslands to form.

You kept them in their cage for two years without ever letting them out?

>>2012825

this...

birds need time out of their cage...

>>2012825
Well no, they don't trust me and it'll would bring them significant stress by catching them. But once they get more trusting I'll be letting them out.

Brown tabby oriental shorthair.

>>2012661
Thank you.

I really like the shape of their skull and jaw. It's pretty cool and alpha.

>>2012662
They come in about a hundred different colors and patterns too.

chickens
goats
a bigger aquarium
a german shepherd husky mix who isn't batshit insane

>>2012392
you're alright

>>2012331
A rottweiler. Every one I've ever known has been a total lovebug and it saddens me that because of their morphology they've been trained to harm people, giving them a bad reputation.

I'm not going to get one in the near future because I don't envision being stable enough to justify owning a large pet, especially one as intelligent and social as a dog.

One day.

>>2011880
I know a few people who use these, work great. They take about twenty minutes to go into effect, what's great is you can increase dosage as needed, some dogs or situations may call for a larger dose.

Is this something I can try too? What's the active ingredient?

>>2012590
Trust me, don't. They are safe but they will make you feel groggy in a really heavy, unpleasant way.

Active ingredients are chamomile, valerian, tryptophan, and St. John's wort.

They don't really fight with each other, oxen especially because oxen usually refers to castrated bulls. These animals have been raised around each other and their environment so they're pretty much just used to everything.

How much training they get is sort of a geographical thing but in general they are trained to respond to signals, be it verbally or physically(poles, whips, tugging a certain way on a rope, etc). It would be extremely dangerous to just take a random ox/horse/etc and strap them up if they've had zero training.

They don't really 'follow' the leader. A pair of oxen are connected by a yorke, one can't move without the other. Two oxen are usually good enough to pull just about anything that needs pulling but yeah, I suppose if you have multiple pairs in single file then yes, the ones from behind would have to follow what the ones in the front are doing.

>>2011560
*yoke

I don't know anything about it, but ya it totally takes a lot of training for the critters and being a teamster for more than two is a pretty skilled job. You don't just hitch something up that has never seen a wagon before.

First for it's perfectly fine to adopt a puppy at 8-12 weeks, don't listen to that faggot with his arbitrary rules who says 12 weeks is the minimum.
