I miss Creatures. It was so cool that every Norn had an entire genome that mutated in their offspring. I am still hoping for a game like that with today's tech and where you have a little more influence on what mutations get bred.

Post some songs about animals.

I've listened to these two songs about every week for the past year because they remind me of my cat that died in December.

Separate it from the others if you haven't already. Make sure the air where you keep her isn't too dry or dusty and use bedding that doesn't generate a lot of dust like straw will. Occasionally using steam or a humidifier can help too.

Red hot peppers can help to support respiratory health and have been shown to reduce mortality rates in flocks so add some of that to her food. Garlic supports general immune system health, and thyme and oregano have been used to treat bronchitis. Just about 1% of each will be fine. It would be good to add mint to her water or her food because it will loosen up any mucus in her lungs. Probably put it her water with some honey so she gets a low dose of it more often. Mint is also supposed to increase the size of eggs. An anti-inflammatory like yarrow will also help. You can probably find it growing around your neighborhood. If you can't find it then use ginger instead. I wouldn't use any drugs as a replacement unless it's specifically labeled for poultry, including the dosage instructions. You could in theory look up the dosage and use, for example, aspirin but people find the wrong information and accidentally kill their animals all the time that way.

You might want to discontinue the antibiotic unless she gets worse and instead ferment her feed with something containing lactic acid bacteria like Greek yogurt. The fermentation can help break down the food and make more of the active compounds available and the fat in the yogurt helps with the oil soluble nutrients. Just put her normal food in a jar or a bucket with your additives, cover it with some water, stir in the yogurt and let it sit overnight. You can add 2% crushed lump charcoal to help with the fermentation and you can use a scoop of fermented food from a previous batch instead of yogurt once you have a decent culture built up. I ferment all of my birds' feed so you don't have to stop when she recovers.

On a sadder note, bronchitis can become a chronic condition and if it recurs then its recommended that you cull her so she can't spread it to the rest of your flock.

This will never be a cat website. Sorry. If you want 24/7 caturday, it's over on r/caturday. If you want to be able to talk about cats in a curated circlejerk where facts that go against the opinions of the shut-in internet people who also fangirl over cats are suppressed, it's called r/cats. Goodbye.

There is nothing about 4chan that requires its users to hold cats in extremely high esteem.

You only need not violently hate them (ex: bugguy).

bare minimum? 2 square ft a guinea pig

don't actually use an aquarium anon the glass walls will turn it into a green house full of ammonia. use a caged or fenced enclosure with a flat, non-wired bottom.

I confess, as a cat owner, that dogs are the superior animal. More loyal, more friendly, less likely to destroy the local environment or carry parasites back into your home from killing rodents. They're cute and encourage owners to take up healthy habits through daily walking.

HOWEVER

They smell really bad, 1 billion points to the cats. Cats win.

Comparing them is quite stupid, they're very different animals. Why not compare a dog to a fish? Or a rodent? A reptile? End this 10 year old cats vs dog bullshit. I think they're both great pets.

If you end up getting a regular succulent. you can still kill things and bury them under the succulent as fertilizer.
