So it looks like some asshole poisoned the cat that lives in my store. She looked groggy, was drooling a lot, and there was some blood on her tongue.

I just left her at the vet, any other pro-tips?

Do you have security cams? It might be worthwhile to skim the footage. If by some miracle you see it happen AND it's a regular or card user he could be in serious trouble. I'm nearly 100% certain animal cruelty is a felony in all 50 states now.

Alright i have a rose hair that I haven't held in 2 years after reading you're not suppose to but I pet her a few times a week and get her the attention she deserves but I've been really wanting to hold her and when I do i freak myself out when she starts getting a little jumpy and shit and I'm afraid that I can't hold he now without her freaking out and trying to run off or something. can i still hold her after 2 years? will she calm down?

Handling is better than petting a spider. Putting her on your hand is basically relocating it to a new substrate, and there's little point in biting substrate, but poking it with a meat filled finger is asking for a bite.

Still its a spider as long as your not crushing it or pulling its legs off or ripping its eyes out then your good.

Hey he's just as much at fault for trusting me to take care of his dog. I mean he KNEW that I am generally irresponsible and have a bad memory, why would he expect anything different?

It's not fair to blame me for this when he is the one who fucked up by choosing me for a job I was not ready for.

Feral cats are a huge problem though. You know what feral animals are, right? It's a horrible thing to do but someone has to, mostly thanks to absolute retards buying cats and feeling too bad to spay/neuter them. I wish it were possible to force the people responsible to kill the things but that's "cruel or unusual punishment" most likely.

Discuss anything aquarium related here, including inhabitants, decor and issues.

Google is your friend.
Feel free to ask questions but know that there are a lot of resources out there that could answer your question a lot faster and accurately than /an/.

Make sure to include these things in your post before asking because we can't help you if we don't have the full picture:
-tank size
-parameters
-any and all inhabitants + how long you've had them

I know your pain. Had to take care of my stepfather's English Bulldog whenever he went out on walks. Using the "Plastic bag around the hand" trick is effective, but you never, EVER, feel clean.

Both of them are dead now and I"ve got a Yorkie that hardly poops or pees. God bless this rat of a doge.

Yeah we got the scented baggies for the regular stuff

Wasn't expecting him to try and eat poop though, I'll have to keep a closer eye on him when we're out for walks

/an/ greentext story thread now?

>walking my dog around the apartment complex
>lady stops me and asks if I walk my dog every day
>confused, but I say yes
>"that's something only white people do!"

I feel like I'm one of the few people in my complex that actually walks their dog. People usually just take their dog out to shit in the yard and consider that enough exercise for the day.

how the fuck did he have the energy to do that
>>
>>2077534
and by hiking in the woods I don't mean just walking jauntily on flat ground. we went through thick meadows, up steep inclines, and he climbed a few boulders with me too.

I would like to have either a maine coon or a persian cat next year, but I heard persian cats are particularly prone to have health issues. How is it going with yours?

On another note, what can I do so my black and white cat would sleep in my bed again?

I'm sorry. I don't want to see anyone's produce damaged. People work hard for their produce.

I found this:

http://stopstinkbugs.com/

I hope it at least points you in the right direction. I had no idea they were such a misery for people.

Perhaps if you shared details, the smarter people here might be able to help, as I know little of them.

Location, produce damaged, length of infestation etc. Anything that might help.

I hope you find relief soon. I love animals, but nature is what it is, and no one wants to see the work of someone to make valuable food be antagonized by anything.

hey /an/, /x/ here (i guess). the folks back home are busy circlejerking over homunculi and conspiracy theories so i figured i might as well ask you guys just in case someone here knows some stuff

so, what do you think/know about druidry/druidism?
>>
>>2077338
nothing.
the Christians killed all the druids and destroyed their records.
>>
>>2077340
>implying it wasn't the work of outside cats
>>
it's stupid bullshit.
>>
>>2077338
Most of /an/ actually hates animals with a burning passion and thinks every single animal is a carnivore, including deer and woodchucks because one ate a fish or an egg once.

>>2077412
This is the shit I'm talking about.

But on the subject of Druidry, this anon >>2077340 got it right. The real Druids are wiped out and we know very little about them. The Neo-Druids are a diverse group with multiple beliefs. John Michael Greer gives a good summary of how Neo-Druidism got started. I'm not real fond of him though, because he tends to cheapen magical practice by just claiming it's mundane everyday shit without any real spiritual component.

What is your interest in the subject?
>>
>>2077439
i'm really not sure how to explain/put it into words... basically, my family/heritage is from around the area that the druids lived in, and i've always felt drawn towards certain things throughout my life which tend to turn out to be from around this area (eg mythology or things like that)

i've written this post about six times and then deleted it so far, i can't seem to put it into words. i guess i just have a very, VERY strong sense of... idk, wanting to know? feeling a connection with it? sorry if that doesn't make sense.

i have looked into neo-druidism and although their beliefs align with mine pretty solidly (even with me never looking into it before), i feel like there's so much more to it and feel like i need to know "the original"

probably sounds crazy but i'm looking into something called "remote viewing" to see if i can, in essence, witness the past
