the question would be 'should they' because that looks awful.

>>2000739
i just got them, so that's the first day theyre inside that. they were already in that condition so i was wondering if they would worsen or die because of my lack of knowledge about plant care

>>2000743
it isn't the condition, it's just that it's plain ugly.

I'm trying for "no cats on the couch" just to start with, but no matter how many times I hiss and throw the cat off, it does not learn

I used this process to quickly teach it to stay off the tables, but for some reason the couch is more of a struggle

>>2000065
the couch is comfy, its territory

have you tried stenches that cats hate. f.e. the strong smell of mint? my cat always hated toothpaste and mint oil alot

Well this will be a thoughtful and eye opening thread.

only conscious animals do.

so that's almost none.

>>1989463
What it's your criteria for consciousness?

Not sure if this counts as "autistic", but I used to capture lizards that were sun bathing on my fence, dress them up in Polly Pocket clothes and marry them off with my barbie dolls when I was ten.

If I have people visiting my apartment I tell them to speak quietly so they don't disturb my geckos. Gecko sleep takes priority over human socializing in my place.

It's probably Alces alces, also known in various languages as älg, Elch, elk, alko, alce, altze, elg, elgur, elki, alnis, elan, alsi, etc.

>>2000507
Wait. Moose and elk aren't the same thing?

>>2000512

Depends entirely on where you live. North Americans call a cousin of red deer "elk" for whatever reason.

Do you have one litter box for two cats?
Get another litter box or two.
Aside from that, wait for another anon to respond cuz that's all I got.

>>2000083
we only have one large one

is that really what would stop the hair pulling and the thirst of death?

i feel kinda retarded if it is, but i've only ever owned one cat at a time.

>>2000085
>is that really what would stop the hair pulling and the thirst of death?
What? Are the cats pulling out their hair and drinking a lot of water?

Volunteer at your local animal shelter

>>1999794
I've read and talked to people who say that is misleading. They worked at places that did not allow them to actually play with the animals. Disappointment!

>>1999792
Animals aren't for your personal gratification. You sound like a shitter. If anything, be a dog walker.

If you have a cat or two, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a delicious snack for lunch. I mean, if you really think about it, this is the best solution, quite humane too. The bird won't suffer anymore, and your cats get a highly nutritious meal, packed with healthy fibers.

Well, that's what I'd do.

To clarify. I've been using non lethal mouse traps in my kitchen for 2 weeks with little success. Without resorting to poison what are some styles/designs of lethal mouse trap that work?

>catch mouse
>dump it off away from your house

Make sure you aren't disgusting and leaving food everywhere, vacuum, sweep, seal your food, fix any holes in your walls, etc.
I'm way too much of a faggot for lethal traps after I caught a lactating female, and then spent the next two days picking up starving baby mice that had crawled out into the open in desperation.. Fed the little bastards that made it and released them. I haven't had any mice since that so it was probably just a random female that decided to hunker down in my house.

>>1999248
All the food in the areas the mice are has been put in hard plastic containers. Haven't seen any signs of them chewing through them.
Now they're in my drawers shitting on my cutlery and dish rags...

>>1999063
get out of here, you dirty hippie

I don't think so

No. End of thread. Saged.

It's a natural behavior, you shouldn't be punishing your cat for it because she wouldn't understand, and even if she could, she wouldn't be able to control it. At best, she will understand she needs to avoid people. You'll just have to live with it until she gets fixed.

>>1999060
As punishments go I don't think this was too harsh...was it?

I realize that she doesn't understand why it's happening.

ROFL MAO doge got ownedddd what a c u c k

>>1998983
As much as i think it looks ridiculous, the dog doesn't really care anyways, so meh im not even against it

>>1998984
lol
>>1998990
I didn't post it in that mindset, sorry if it came off that way. I just thought it was freaking hilarious and cute and I wish I had a big fluffy dog that I could try this on for halloween or something. Assuming the color dye they used isn't harmful obviously.

Maybe instinct isn't what I meant, more like skill

Yeah, they pretty much do. That may also not be the correct habitat for his species even if he were skilled. And supposing it was there would already be turtles there that will out compete. Get a different tank, keep it, or find if a separate home. If you won't give up the tank then at least just kill the turtle instead of releasing

>>1998633
Well that sucks

I have an old tub I can keep him in
