My cat got spayed today and she's just standing still. It's been 8 hours after the surgery, and she isn't eating or drinking. For a relief she isn't licking her stitches but still, she's just standing still and looking around. Is this normal? I'm not the most familiar with cats, this one is just a cat that hid in my garden, was mistreated before and she's always been very nervous but active as well

She's fine bruh she's recovering from surgery.
>>
>>5117586
probably still wonked out on the anesthesia. the place you took her to should have given you aftercare instructions, among those being limit food to about half what they would normally eat the first night and resume regular feeding tomorrow.
It's a hell of a surgery for a female cat (a lot of times with males they dont even need stitches), so it's a gonna take some time to get back to normal. if she's still fucked up tomorrow morning take her to a vet.

I would imagine it has something to do with that, i'd be interested to know more about the study. Have the telomeres been getting longer and longer the whole time, through each clone? It makes sense that you'd clone the telomeres and continously make them longer instead of restarting the clock

No article says Muller's ratchet, guy could not stop himself.
In all seriousness they accumulate too many mutations after the 25th generation because they're not perfect clones as in they don't have the exact same sets and quantities of genes as their forerunners. Just resubbing their own dna and why this is female only "cloning"

They dumbed it way down even compared to previous seasons. The cave bear deus ex machina was ridiculous. Loki as narration was more like a commentator than a proper narrator, the music was unfitting, the stories were extremely repetitive, the after show parts were nonsense or even more speculative. The only thing they had going for them was their animation/cg continued to be of higher quality than other similar shows.

Do you hunt or raise animals? Is it hard for you if you like animals?

>>5116433
can you keep guinea pigs and quails together?
>>
I never hunted animals and never will. Short of some life and death survival situation.
I never raised animals myself, but grew up on a farm, with all the matter of livestock.
I differentiate killing animals for sport, even if you eat them, and eating animals bred to be eaten.
>>
>>5116423
>Do you hunt?
Lots of waterfowl, upland and small game. Mostly just 'cause I keep getting skunked trying public land deer.
>raise animals?
Kind of, helped a friend with chickens for a while.
>Is it hard for you if you like animals?
Yes and no. I love animals, find them fascinating but overall I care more about them on a conservation/species level than about the individual animal. There is always a tinge of guilt though.
Since you're a /k/ommando I'll tell you my main two go to guns. A Remington Spartan 453, a weird semi-auto shotgun made under contract by Baikal in Russia and a Chiappa double badger in .22lr over 20g.

I like to creep up on wild animals, idk if that counts as hunting. I have gotten pretty good at it. There's no hiding, natural camo does not work on me. I will spot them from hundreds of meters away. I move without a sound, never throwing a shadow on my prey. Closely observing, using every fraction of distraction to inch closer. So watch out, critters. You snooze, you lose.

man those quails are so much cuter than guinea pigs

I don't actually know anything about animal hypnosis, although some guy on tumblr wrote up a pretty good history of Blacaman, who was actually Italian. The rest of the tumblr is weirdo hypnosis erotica shit so don't go beyond that unless you want to be disgusted. https://hypnoticharlequin.tumblr.com/post/179844235325/blacaman-the-animal-hypnotist-who-cheated-death

Altered Behavior of Parasitized Killifish Increases Susceptibility to Predation by Bird Final Hosts

>Parasites that are transmitted from prey to predator are often associated with altered prey behavior. Although many concur that behavior modification is a parasite strategy that facilitates transmission by making parasitized prey easier for predators to capture, there is little evidence from field experiments. We observed that conspicuous behaviors exhibited by killfish (Fundulus parvipinnis) were associated with parasitism by larval trematodes. A field experiment indicated that parasitized fish were substantially more susceptible to predation by final host birds. These results support the behavior—modification hypothesis and emphasize the importance of parasites for predator—prey interactions.

Left me kinda rattled. I live in Australia, we have a lot of possums in residential areas. I guess someone's cat got out and killed a possum or bird, then dragged it under the van? I'm going to feel bad if I go outside tomorrow and find a corpse.

Finnish has three names for them:

Nahkasiipi (unofficial, rarer) - leatherwing

That's not conjugation. That's declension. Linguistics and grammar have too many terms that mean almost the same thing so I get why the mistake was made.
