Unironically pitbull
>>4846993Maybe if you want her to be mauled
>>4838206>Just get a taser and pepper spray.You mean a gun. Unironically too many random cereal killers roaming round here. Wake up in the morning eat your lucky charms cereal.

This little guy would have been eaten by a coyote or something, but I saved him.

blue jay
>>4847993My blue jay traffic went from eating all their peanuts twice a day (with a noontime refill) to barely touching them. Happens every year, they had their babies and went off to molt so they're being scarce. And every year I get worried that they're gone.
I went to a bird of prey centre and renewed my love of birds, they had enclosures for like 50 birds and I got to hold a peregrine falcon, red tailed hawk and tawny owl. My favourite was the ten year old tawny owl that was starting to lose his vision because he just wanted to sit next to my chest as close as possible and pretend I was a tree
Found this kitten a couple nights ago, appears to be about 3 weeks old. Seems too old to have its ears still folded. Does this mean it's definitely one of those folded ear cats that gets bone and cartilage problems down the line, or is there a chance they can still fold up and he's gonna be OK? I'm worried about him, I want him to be OK.Pls halp
>>4848019I don’t know, can you?

Super cute, OP!I'm only guessing, but I think he might have a bit of Oriental Shorthair in him, enough to give him a slightly funny face (it looks quite long for a kitten) and floppy ears. If he's indeed stricken with the Scottish Fold condition, then it's not as bad in him as it is in breed standard animals, the kittens have ears much more tightly folded ears than his. Either way, I think he'll be okay. Good job helping him!
>>4848048I don’t think the ears are caused by that breed, I think it’s more likely just a mix of Scottish fold and a long-faced domestic short hair. His ears are small and floppy
Remember to neuter it BEFORE it reaches sexual maturityhttps://todaysveterinarypractice.com/preventive-medicine/optimal-age-spay-neuter-cat/If you allow it to mature it will turn into an aggressive pissing monster

No cooler name has ever been given to anything in the history of mankind.
>>4844513How could anything this big and heavy ever actively hunt prey? It seems like it would be so slow and cumbersome that any sort of "chase" would be out of the question. Just look how awkward an elephant is. This would be 4x worse, at least.

>>4847923Slow, Blind, Stupid. These are the defining traits of Cuckasaurus Rex. They were ambush predators because no way in hell could these noobs beat anything in a 1v1.
>>4846821It was literally just a couple of vertebrae. It's been discarded for ages now.Funnily enough, Manospondylus wasn't even described as a theropod initially. Ol' Cope thought it was a ceratopsian. It wasn't until 1907 that it was identified as a theropod at all.

for precious cats.My Maine Coons have fleas and it doesn't seem to bother them much; they don't scratch that much and you wouldn't ever guess they had any. But you dig around in their fur, they're there.I have read some pretty grim reviews of flea treatments, it seems like that shit nearly kills the fucking cat each time you dose them.Currently I'm minded to just leave them as they are - it doesn't seem to be causing any problems. But if there was a Safe and Effective treatment option I would consider it.What do you guys do about fleas on your cats? Have they had any bad reactions to it?
>>4847450>Use vet-approved treatmentsA little vague there, sir>>4847450>fumigate your entire houselmao, no thx
Whats with cats and fleas? I know the old world saying is "sleep with dogs wake with fleas" but i've never known a dog with fleas. On the other hand every other time I adopt a cat, they get fleas.
>>4847450>vet-approved treatmentsYou what, I would have assumed this is a solved problem by now what meds do I need to get fleas off my cat.Not OP but I have 3 cats that randomly got fleas. they are indoor cats though.
>>4847436I recently rescued a kitten that was totally ravaged by fleas. If you can bathe them, use Dawn dish soap—just the regular kind, not scented or anything else. First, make a ring around their neck with the water and soap so the fleas can’t crawl into their ears. Then, wash their whole body with it a couple of times. The chemicals in Dawn are harmless to adult cats and permeate the fleas’ exoskeletons, causing them to drown.This kitten was born outside and has been out there since, and the fleas haven't returned.Just don’t wash their faces with it because it can sting their noses/eyes

Post bugs. Appreciate bugs.
>>4819399I have blue death feigning beetles and the tiny males are always trying to do this to the female beets but the females are just so much bigger and have absolutely 0 interest so they literally just walk away. Sometimes the males end up tipping over the girls but they just get up anyways. It's all funny. It's especially cute when the male tries to get onto the female and ends up literally getting on top of the female, and she just starts walking around with him on her back. I love beets

Are Fungi/Mushrooms sentient? Or, at least, is a particular species/type sentient?
>>4847598I feel like something needs to at least have a centralized brain to process sentience. Fungus seem closer to nerve nets.
No, fungus don't even have brains and there's no way we could be puppeteering billions of humans.
>>4847598Yes, they're sentient. Even microbes tend to be sentient. Are they sapient, like us? No.>>4847603Sentience isn't sapience. Merely being able to respond to their environment will qualify as sentience.>"sentient - able to perceive or feel things."
If everything is vibrating constantly, and fungus utilizes vibration for communication like we do, and it's really healthy, and it's one of the building blocks of life, then fungus and vibration are the keys.
