My cat won't stop pissing on the couch. I've spayed her, deep-cleaned the couch multiple times and have tried all those odor removing enzymatic sprays and have enough litter boxes in the house that I clean everyday, but she just won't stop
Is there anything I can do? I don't want to give her away

So now even living groups of reptiles we 100% know are coldblooded are being painted as warmblooded to keep the featherfaggotry alive? The Dinosaur Renaissance and its consequences have been a disaster for paleontology.

I know. You lost when instead of reading the paper, you started wailing and gnashing your teeth over wanting a photo of a feathered crocodile.

The funniest part is it doesn't matter what you believe about that research. The fossils of feathered dinosaurs are very much real.

Honestly this is almost worse than him not using it because now it's just a glorified cat bed I can't justify getting rid of.
>>
>>4848347
>never plays on it
I get the feeling from this and also things other people say, that some people imagine that cats find toys and equipment fun in the way we humans can sit down with video games.
In my experience it really is nothing like that at all. My cats don't "play" with the cat tree either, but I hold a cloth stuffed fish behind one of the pillars and have it peek out, then they will go investigate and bat at it. Then I have it peek out from some other location, like the tube-thing in that person's pic above, and they have a blast.
Or in chasing string, I'll have that dastardly string end up on the top of the cat tree so they have to jump up to get it, then over to the top of the couch, etc. Letting them catch it sometimes and giving some scritches and praise helps a lot too (also this is why laser pointers completely suck as cat toys.)

I just can't imagine people being like "Look I have a basket of these toys, why isn't my cat playing with them" when I've found pretty much all play for them is interactive.
Didn't mean to wall of text you specifically, just rambling on that topic.

"wildlife rehab" edition

About three hours ago I found a bird (House Finch). He was trapped inside and (presumably) bumped into a bunch of windows in an attempt to escape. I found him conscious but concussed on the floor on his back. Right now he's sleeping in a bed made of paper towels inside this box. I opened the box up an hour ago to improve his quarters by adding more bedding and moving the original box into the current (larger) box but he remained asleep. He had moved into a corner and looked like he was getting some pretty good sleep, but the fact that a bird was undisturbed by me was a little concerning.

Is there anything else I should do to improve his situation? Should I attempt to insulate/warm the box further? It's ~70F indoors.

If the opportunity arises I'll take some pictures of him to post in the thread, but I'd rather not needlessly open up the box to disturb him right now. In the morning I think I'll give him a little dish of water.

the tail shake actually predates the evolution of the rattle, it serves as a distraction/lure when something a foot to the left of the snake suddenly moves through the leaves

The teenage buddhist-tier equivalencies are what I was referring to.

Cats don't care about roaming freely. Every indoor cat I've known has been extremely happy and well socialized. Indoor/outdoors and outdoor-onlies always act like PTSD victims towards strangers (gee i wonder).
They might care about dying horribly
