That's rough anon but it gets better with time. I've found the grieving cycle gets shorter but it's still there
If its in the lung, its palative care time now, get her favourite treats and give her all the cuddles
I hope she gets closer to 2 years!

How do you catch a mouse without killing it? It's in the kitchen.
Is it doable by throwing a towel at him, or I'd be a fool to try to catch it without a real trap?

Thank you very much anon. I gave her spaghetti with sauce today and I'll be giving her a lot of other nice things.
I'll check out your other post and I appreciate your concern a lot. Genuinely.
>>
>>5112252
One time I caught a mouse by putting food in a tallish container, leaving it on the floor nearby the gap between units, and waiting until it found it's way inside then quickly popping a lid on top. Course, it was luck.
Poor guy tried so hard to escape I was worried it would die in the process.

How do I spoil my cat in his final days? He's only 12 but has oral cancer and is getting the trip to the other side on Tuesday. He's on pretty heavy pain meds but can still get around. He drools all over his front though. I've tried to give him human food in the form of some chicken breast I got from the deli but he didn't touch it. Catnip maybe?

It's disheartening how even genuinely intelligent people like Bob Gymlan can get caught up in the Bigfoot nonsense. They basically ignore all the evidence against and go "he's out there i just know it bro i just know it they can't keep hiding him forever"

That's a good point. Still though like you said how did they obtain such a fantastic suit? That's the one thing that really gives me pause about the P-G sasquatch
>>
>>5112283
The suit isn’t that impressive, it just so happens to sit in the perfect anbiguity zone. I bet if they shot it closer, this film would be a forgotten footnote
>>
I'm not saying they're real, I'm not saying they're not. Could a group of gigantopithecus retreat to east asian cave systems due to global temperature drops and evolve into a smaller animal due to a lower amount of available resources and space and become scarce hidden remnants of what we call big foot?

>>5111697
His stupid "traumatized" face gives me "Big foot is real and he tried to eat my ass." funnies
>>
>>5112283
The suit looks as good as it does because it's viewed from far away and the footage is grainy, so the Bigfoot is somewhat obscured
The PG footage can be fake but wasn't it based off an alleged sighting someone had with a female bigfoot or was that just one of the many attempts to discredit PG at the time
>>
>>5112416
Yeah, I think I've heard people mentioned it was based off of the William Row encounter, which also features a female bigfoot looking over it's shoulder.

Cats are significantly less intelligent than dogs. They are slightly less domesticated and have the tendencies that come with that (more persistent independent action and innate skills that help them in the wild, reminiscent of the ways chimpanzees and orangutans outperform humans on select tasks), but overall, have inferior cognition and a less rich inner world, while dogs are complex social animals with more going on inside their head.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs-when-you-count-neurons-have-a-lot-more-than-cats/
Some dog breeds, such as german shepherds, can have over 800 million cortical neurons, twice as much as the average mid sized mutt.

Therefore, since dogs psychological needs are greater than their suffering is deeper, public policy should prioritize canine well being, while making concessions to a clean society and the natural order and regulating cats as if they are simply less aware of their situation anyways, because they are.

Proposed changes:
Dogs must have at least 1/4 acre to roam around in at any given time
It is illegal to crate a dog except under less than ordinary circumstances
Dogs must be allowed to roam in a fenced in park at least once a week, for at least an hour, if their behavioral tendencies allow it
Spay and neuter must be delayed until sexual maturity for dogs to ensure proper cognitive development
Dogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three months
Cats must be kept indoors
Cats must be spayed and neutered as soon as possible to prevent overpopulation
When roaming cats are third class citizens akin to escaped rabbits

I dont get how people like dogs. These animals are cannibals, they eat their sick and death packmates. Some humans think they are loyal lol, they would eat you if they have the chance. In real fights they very often flee instead of protecting humans, a cat protects you more.

>>5112350
I get that they revert to wildtype, I just didn't think they'd go blue. I have an orange/yellow one as well. I don't think it's natural/random mutations I think they're just recessive colours from the breeding set up.
>>
>>5112350
Only if there are multiple lineages. I've had orange rilis in a tank for 5 years and they're still all various grades of orange rili, no wild types.

Explain why I should give a shit about climate change
94 replies and 18 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>5106392
the loudest (and most powerful) proponents of climate change propaganda only want it because they do not like a certain few countries controlling all of the oil and they want to 1) decrease demand for said oil so those countries have less power, 2) hope to create alternative energy sources that (they) control and not the oil countries so they have more power and the oil countries have less. That's it. That is why you have been hammered by global warming and climate change hysteria your entire life.

Actual environmentalists haven't been a serious lobby since the 80s as this other crew coopted the whole thing for their purposes.

"Freedumb" is the most overrated ideal of all. Amerifats are so brainwashed that they will seriously glorify the "freedumb" to starve in the street, the "freedumb" to choose between 5000 different flavors of goyslop, the "freedumb" to shoulder medical debt, and the "freedumb" to own trinkets you will never use or need over living a decent life where basic welfare is provided to you by the government. Just because the American government is controlled by Jewish pedophiles doesn't mean it must be that way in all times and places.
