Are these fine for cats? I hope it'll prevent my cat from killing birds, but does it cause any other discomfort to it?

Cichlids are weird
Earlier today mine just decided to be depressed out of no where, wouldn't eat just stared at me and sat in a cave. I checked every inch to see if she was sick or something but couldn't find anything.
She's acting normal again but I'm wondering what set her off, sometimes they see shit outside the tank and just get scared for no reason I guess.

Any recommendations for planting a 6 gallon cube? I am going filterless, dirt substrate, the only inhabitants will be shrimp and snails.
I get Java ferns for free by taking them from my other tank, I was thinking Amazon swords would be a decent choice for root feeders as the leaves look fairly similar to the ferns. Petco only had a couple of very sad looking ones so whatever I get I'll be mail ordering, which broadens my options.

One of the small anubias strains. It's very slow growth. Good for a general coverage plant that rarely requires pruning even in a small tank like that.

Realistically most ferals won't be able to get adopted out, especially as adults. Many of them are aggresive and don't like people. The best way to help them would be to build tiny houses in which they'd have beds, scratch posts, toys, etc and be sheltered from the elements. Then volunteers will be tasked to clean the homes periodically as well as feed them, vets will examine them as needed but otherwise they'll live independently in a colony with other ferals.

Everyone is talking about how breeder fucked up the back but what about the head? Look at pic related, that's almost greyhound level pointy.

And now they're all lazy droopy lip tall snout slobber machines.
The slim pointy snout looks so much cooler.

>I've seen some videos or stuff going around the web with wolves not being scared or not getting too territorial with human women. Is it true or is it just bs?
Dunno, I'm not a foid. IMO, Wolves are smart, they probably know that foids are less immediately dangerous. But I think that a lot of that might be that a foid has habituated the wolves in an area to humans and so the wolves are more used to a foid.

Why are they not considered better than chimps and bonobos at this point? They even show empathy to non-pongos, trying to help humans out of the water.

The field is still a work in progress.
Consider the fact that up until the late 80s we had a completely filpped image of chimps and gorillas to reality.
A case od a gorilla saving a kid who fell down an enclosure helped put us on the right path.

Here goes nothing

beat up macaques, strangle macaques, throw macaques in the garbage can, tease macaques, bully macaques, drown macaques, lock macaques in small spaces, remove macaque's surrogate mother every second to make them spaz, lock macaques in a Cage, comfort macaques in said Cage and then removing your comforting hand to make them spaz and panic, Lynch macaques, trash up macaques, hang macaques with their pacifier, squeeze macaque tummies so that they gasp for air, remove macaques from their Natural habitat, make macaques do unnatural things, force macaques to stand on their legs damaging their spine, wrap macaques hands and feet so that they cant self comfort with thumb sucking, make macaques act likes humans and do human chores, slave macaques into coconut harvesting, use macaques as source of entertainment in morocco, Pakistan and Thailand, use macaques as literal toys, abuse macaques, pity macaques, torture macaques, make macaques terrified of you, mentally destroy macaques until they are left a broken, unrecognizable mess
Total anyotherprimate love, Total macaqueshit death (black crested macaques are excluded tho)

Is this edgy enough? Fellow monkey lovers?

Your cat's affection may be partially attributed to the close human-animal bond, but part may be due to genetics. A study found that kittens with a friendly father grow up to be cats that are friendlier toward people compared to cats with a non-friendly father.
