buy the cheapest food you can, and only put a little bit out so that that Raccoon Kun's don't steal it when he can't finish it all.

He probably won't puke in your yard if you're lucky, but if he does, it's because he loves you and feels safe

Feed whatever cat-food until you find a favorite. Plan on doing trap-neuter-release. He will likely return to you and grow close.

Previously on /jef/ >>5137757

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. Jefrey was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

There has been a bigger push recently with the death of a horse that ate a toxic plant, and last month an Indian tourist was the first death in 150 years of rides in Central Park.

Is it inhumane for horses to work for humans?

It's only as inhumane as the city is to humans. Which is extremely.
>>5143519
As much as I dislike NYC, I've never noticed horse poop on the streets, whether driving or walking. The thing under their asses meant to catch the poop seems to do the job well enough.
They do however still stink. I mean, NYC in general stinks but horse shit cuts through like nobody's business.

It's pretty slimy they are milking the family to advocate for the ban after an extremely rare human fatality. Apparently the dad's story has changed since it happened too.

The main group supporting the bill is animal rights org NYClass, and coincidentally it was founded by a real estate mogul. So some think it's really just a front to seize the stable property.

Chinese IQ studies are limited to their wealthy provinces where the party’s chosen kids dine on meat heavy diets that would make a frenchmen approve and live a life centered around excelling on standardized tests.

The rest of the country suffers from impaired brain development for a large number of reasons.

You can find similar tricks in other countries/races data, and pull them yourself by finding studies of even, yes, indian populations with average IQs as high as 107. Also, the infamous genius jew claim was extrapolated from a small difference in verbal IQ scores. Upon better inspection jews have the same average IQ as everyone else: 100 (GASP).

Because city pigeons are rats with wings.
But plenty of other pigeons are just fine to eat. In texas people love to go hunting white-tail. You don't get much meat out of it, usually just a little medallion of breast meat, but its not bad for game bird.

if someones stray cat keeps coming to my house should I just keep it? i know whose it is but whenever they claim it back from us or the shelter its back outside roaming on the literal street within a day or two.
its not even chipped, nor does it ever have a collar.

ive seen too many dead cats on the highway and city streets to feel comfortable continuing to give this neglectful owner this cat back.

Outdoor cats are beloved pets. They're loved more than the poor cats who are trapped indoors for their entire life. Cats are supposed to have access to the outside.

Anon if you have an outdoor cat it wanders, and it comes up to neighbors because there's a 65% chance you're going to give him a free meal, like most of your sucker neighbors.
That's just outside cat behavior, for better or worse, an outdoor tom typically has a pretty big territory they'll roam.

This. OP is unhinged for trying to steal a cat
>>
>>5139391
We let our cats out all the time but they were in a residential neighborhood and had street smarts. Everyone knew they were ours. We fed them and brought them in at night every night. Didn't chip or collar them, but they were obviously cared for. We literally never had a time where someone thought it was a stray or when one got picked up by animal control, and if they had, we would have collared them or kept them inside. The youngest died at 19. Never had one go missing. Is this cat actually a stray, or just indoor/outdoor? Does it look healthy? Does it act overly skittish or like its being abused in some way? Does it ever get injured, and if it does, is it obvious that the injuries go untreated? From the OP it sounds like it's just someone's fucking cat that they let outside because it wants to go outside. If you live in a rural area it might even be a pest control/farm cat. More details or you're just an asshole pet thief, OP.

I'm gonna be getting a 20G(long) tank and I was thinking about doing one of two things. It's gonna be heavily planted either way.
1. Western theme. Like various old west towns that were submerged for dams. My local petsmart has cowboy themed decor. Things like an Inn, Saloon, Jailhouse. . I'd have anubias and moss attached to them.
2. 3D printed underground tunnels mainly to act a place for Shrimp to hide.

1. Gross.
2. Great way to never see your shrimp again.

Debunking: Does Cultivation Kill More Animals Than Livestock Farming?

https://anupamkatkar.com/2015/10/08/debunking-cultivating-crops-for-vegans-kills-more-animals-than-pasture-grazing-livestock/

Picture this: You’re a harvest mouse who lives in a wheat field. Being a mouse, you have excellent hearing and can easily pick up sounds that a human cannot hear. Thanks to your sensitive whiskers and small size, you’re acutely attuned to vibrations caused by large machines. Although your eyesight isn’t the best in the world, your eyes are situated high on your head and offer an excellent all-round view. And to top that off, you have lightning reflexes and dash about at a top speed of 8 miles an hour.

If livestock didn't want me to eat them, they shouldn't be made out of food.

If you want to be vegan, I won't stop you. But eating meat is healthier and more natural than any other diet. Grains in particular are essentially almost poison - most of the world population is sensitive to wheat, and it causes inflammation. The most ideal diet is meat, veggie, and fruit; if you want to avoid meat, then you just eat veggie and fruit and will be starved of calories, protein, and micronutrients unless you spend almost all your time micro-managing your diet and spending a fortune on engineered supplements. That's not for everyone, or even most people. I care more about the actual health of living human beings than I care about mice or cows or chickens being killed. And all that is if we ignore genetics - there are many groups of people who almost outright require a heavy meat diet to maintain even a moderate degree of health. The keto diet has a shit ton of positive health effects on humans and requires meat as a large component.

I love the little animals too. I think cows are super cute, I hate any animal being hurt regardless of what it is. But I do, and will continue to eat mostly meat, because that keeps me and my family the healthiest. The best case scenario is that we find a way to farm cells rather than livestock - I have no problem eating a lab-grown hamburger if it's identical to the one an animal had to die for. If you care so much about all this, help the researchers and scientists make it a reality instead of bitching about shit no one wants to read on the Internet.
