I took in a stray cat and am keeping him as an indoor/outdoor, but I don't want him going onto the neighbor's property. Could I train him using an invisible fence like dog owners do? Anybody have experience with this?

It needs to be taller, first of all, 5 and a half foot or more, and then stick some of this onto it. If you cant do that because of some stupid ass rules then get a catio or harness train your cat. Free-roaming is never, ever an option.

It might work if someone made one with a gradient on whatever the punishment is where it gets worse the farther away it gets. So it's not so immediate and causes panic and let's them learn the boundaries less harshly. But all the same cats shouldn't be outdoors at all.

Cats are half as intelligent as a chihuahua

They literally dont understand that outside is different from inside. It’s all just “territory”. Dont let it be their territory and they have no need to be there.

I hate lions. Overrated motherfuckers don’t deserve their reputation as King of the Beasts or King of the Jungle. They get mogged by so many herbivorous animals and even the lesser carnivores give them tons of shit. END THE LION HYPE.

>YouTube starts pushing caracal videos on me

>cimment sections are filled with "well actually caracals communicate by hissing, so he's not really angry! when their ears go back, that's when they're angry"
What is it with this cope? I've yet to see a caracal hiss that wasn't paired with either defensive or aggressive body language (and most of the time the ears do indeed go back). They're aggressive wild animals, if one is constantly hissing and baring it's fangs, it's unhappy and agitated.
Are caracal owner apologists the new "aw look the pittbull's smilin'"

One of the comments mentioned the caracal was fixated on the camera everytime and that the owner was purposely agitating and stressing out the cat for views. The comment was well explained and seemed like they understood cat body language very well

It's so retarded, even domestic cats are semi-feral assholes who are only safe to keep as pets because they are too small to eat you alive

Yeah, woodsorrel is one of the few actually pleasant tasting edible plants near me. Makes a good garnish, but it shouldn’t be a large part of your diet since it’ll bind to the dietary calcium your body needs to work.

Identifying this dogs breed (I will post more pics in thread)

I just adopted this boy from a family who found him in the streets. No color or nametag. Owners didn't search for him and now they themselves decided to give him away (family reasons)
He has no documents and nothing
Family thinks he is a cocker of some kind
I doubt this and did a little search online only breed I have a hunch on is called - redboun Coonhound
Help kind sirs

He does look a bit like a redbone but not a purebred one, redbones arent allowed any white on them according to breed standard. So he's either a cross or byb.
>>
>>4798742
yes because some breeds require owners having knowledge beforehand of their special needs, health etc.

yeah probably

How do we defeat him, /an/?
There must be some vulnerability past these unflinching features contained in this dauntless visage.
A point of failure in his supposed invulnerability we not have as of yet allowed ourselves to perceive.
