Are you supposed to keep the TV on for your pet if they're alone at home for most of the day?
>>4797093I leave the PS2 Tony hawk's Pro skater for my turtle
>>4797093Cats get statically charged by old crts and can shock you, beware if you got an old model pacemaker and are for some reason using a metallic chest drain at home, which is why I opted for finally upgrading to a dog
>>4797093Yes all animals enjoy a healthy session of brainwashing by semitic television stations
What's a good channel or Netflix series for pets?
>>4797816>a bearquite topical considering the other thread
How can I ensure my cat lives to atleast 20? He's around 8-9 currently and is still very full of piss and vinegar (he's a domestic long hair and is very large and slightly chubby). What kinds of things ensures that a cat will live a very long life? I've heard of cats living until their 30s in rare cases and I would imagine it has to do with a little more than just genetics and luckpic unrel
>>4797584Alright well my problem is that when my cat was maybe 3 years old he got a UTI and almost died and they had no clue how he got it since he was neutered, and the veterinarians scared my mom into buying my cat this special urinary tract health dry food for him which he has been eating ever since. She is very jewed in pretty much every aspect of her life and the food she buys for her pets is no exception, she thinks if they eat absolutely anything other than the food they've been eating their whole lives they will get sick. How do I unjew my mom on the topic of pet food?
>>4797506That’s a good question that’s still widely debated on. Same for dogs. Genetics definitely play a factor as we know certain breeds are just outright unhealthy and can only live so long. But beyond that you’ll get a myriad of answers depending on who you ask
>>4797506You can give him the most expensive food and never let him outside and he'll still get cancer and die. It's a roll of the dice. Just enjoy your time with him and don't take him for granted. It'll end one day.
>>4797563my last cat was an outdoor cat who ate a mix of wet and dry food and she lived until 20, perhaps there are more factors to it.
>>4797563>>4797566I didn't do anything special. I only ever fed him wet canned food. I don't remember the brand, But towards the end I tried expensive sensitive stomach stuff, but he only ever liked the cheap stuff. And I always gave him bits of whatever I was eating. He was pretty health up until the last 9 months.

Stick around, tourist
What's your favorite animal, tourist?
>>4797623I like the elephant.It's really in a sense an ideal for what humanity should be.Smart, intelligent, emotional, to some extent understanding and accepting the futility of life but still grieving when it happens - yet moving on. Elephant groups can only be separated by death or capture, while humans kill each other by the thousands even close relatives.Humans, with all the technical knowledge breed ourselves into degeneracy, stupidity and meaningless eating, shitting, fucking while destroying the planet WITHOUT ANY GOAL other than profit and pleasure.Elephants eat, shit and fuck but they don't destroy the planet.I know elephants aren't fully aware or at least aren't aware like we are.But I wonder If elephants evolved technology first instead of disgusting chimps - would they have built a better world? I believe so.
>>4797662All of that comes down to choice and capability anon. If elephants were capable of doing that and had the smarts to do it they would. Our intelligence is what leads us to have the awareness that we have the *choice* to do those things, only our guilt and shame and any other self imposed morals stops us
Any anteater chads here? What do you feed them? Any special needs?

>>4797285I’m pretty sure something like that did happen funnily enough
>>4796907It’s a primal kind of realization. He doesn’t yet know what death is but he can still feel a vague sense of impending doom right around the corner and stays silent but alert in hopes of not drawing its attention. Scary stuff.

Are bloodhounds good police dogs?
>>4796451They can’t and they don’t. Even in staged trials Mals underperform in scent work.>Three boxes>Decoy in one>Mals sniff all three boxes repeatedly before guessing which one the decoy is inIn most “scent” portions they’re just relying on memory from this drill in training and guessing if they can’t figure it out or just smelling the decoy without any ground scenting. They literally have a 1/3 chance of advancing no matter which box they indicate. There is flat out no testing for cold trailing whatsoever due to the time constraints required for it and general lack of need.Bloodhounds are specialized sniffers. A mal is an elite interdiction dog and that is simply prized dramatically over the other in modern police work where you’re almost never chasing a convict into the swamps or untamed wild which is why the use of hounds has predominantly switched to trailing missing children and senile elderly instead of criminals. It also helps they won’t maul a freezing toddler that wandered off. There are still parts of the country that cold trailing is useful for actual police work though. There’s a guy down in Oklahoma that uses coonhounds and horses. He’s got some great stories like when his dogs bayed his shitbag cousin up in a stock pond and he just played dead when they told him to swim to shore.
>>4796451>they can and they areAll images you find of mals following trails are very short and very recent trails. Mals are good at short scentwork, as is every other dog breed, like sniffing drugs or guns or something. Insisting that mals can do what hounds can do because you prefer mals is asinine and retarded. Hounds can follow days old trails. Mals can't. Cope harder.

I believe it's possible to accurately guess characteristics/traits of somebody by their favorite animal For example,>If their favorite animal is a fox, they're a furry>If it's a wolf, they were the weird kid in school >Horse, they want to be dicked down by a horse >Cat, they're feminine or a woman >Dog, they're very basicWhat do you think? What are some other examples?

Does anyone else huff their cat? Why do they smell good?
>>4795321kek i don’t remember this scene it’s cool that he did that again though
>>4791949Brain damage ever since the day he was born

Dogs smell amazing. Like a meadow in the middle of a cedar grove. Cats smell neutral at best. Like dirt.

I come from a typical white trash family and my mother has fed up an army of stray cats on the property, who are now terrorising my actual pet cat. She has come home yesterday battered and bleeding, and I am looking for advice on how to manage the situation.
>>4797231Nice try. You’d need polarized dilithium crystals for that. Your cat does not contain a warp drive, larper. My dog on the other hand has a top spacetime traversal rate of the speed of light to the power of 13.
>>4797368big deal. my dog has a cloaking device.
>>4797378Your dog might have a cloaking device, but my cat has developed a phase shift based cloaking device that also renders them immune to phaser fire. have fun figuring out where they are based on residual chroniton fields, chud. not like you'd be able to do anything if you could. you'll never defeat my kot's superior technology.
>>4797383Oh shit dogbros what are we going to do?
>>4797383that’s so cool where can I get one
