Don't rats constantly spot? You pick them up, droplet of pee on you, put them down on your bed, droplets of pee on your bed, and it comes with a nice marking scent too.
>>3365614>droplets of pee on your bedWho cares, my bed is already covered in 1cm thick layer of dried cum.
What's "specism" exactly? Different sources and people (usually vegans) tell different meanings.
>>3365351How if you can barely move? The most people calling for human euthanasia are dying already and just reached a point where they'd rather skip the last two weeks of nothing but pain.
>>3365332A lot of people mean it in the way that people are disgusted and shocked by dogs being farmed and eaten but are happy that pigs suffer and die for their meals. Society tells people that it's okay to eat one and not the other, when these socially acceptable beliefs are called into question, these people become defensive and often lash out.
>>3365332>What's "specism" exactly?Something made up like every “ism”.

>>3362590Early neutering increases the risk of bone cancer and joint problems including hip dysplasia.
>>3362390Unless your dog was a top winning show dog and/or working dog actively used for herding sheep, and passed all breed appropriate health and DNA testing it was not breeding quality to begin with.

Why is it so hard to find a quality cat tree? Everyone time I find one that looks really cool, it either just doesn't exist, or it costs thousands of dollars. I just want a nice tree for my fat Mao. Any anon have kewl cat gyms? And where did you get them?
Might break down and buy this one for about $600
I already have something basic like this. But, it's just too small.
>>3365503it’s kind of a niche luxury product that is hard to ship, logistically a PITA in general and involves a lot of artistry and design work. imagine how much work has to go into making all that fancy shit and designing it and building it, shaving the carpet and whatnot. And I think only Americans have enough room for something like this in their house

It wasn't pic related but it had a similar body shape, except the one I saw was a little fatter but more triangular. My first thought was mosquito too, he had a bit of that look. He was just over an inch long. He was white on top and black at the very bottom, and the bottom half of his body was striped with shades of reddish brown. The colours actually caught my attention because he was like a little swatch you'd get from the paint shop. He also had golden yellow eyes. I'm in Scotland and haven't seen a little critter quite like him before.

>>3365518He’s in Scotland, they’re called Robert flies over there
Hey what kind of rat or bird eats duck eggs and leaves no shells behind? My duck started hatching 9 eggs and she steadily kept loosing them over the course of 3 weeks . She managed to hatch 3 ducklings and today I left them outside where the duck nest was and I lost a duckling , no trace whatsoever .What is this ?Pic related is similar to my male duck
>>3362828Maybe he wasn't hungry enough? Also where are you located? It might help finding our suspect
Just found the missing duckling , he must have sliped trough the wire fence>>3362873Eastern Europe
>>3362803opossum?
She's eating her own eggs. You lose lots of calcium birthing eggs. She's eating them, baby, shell and all to regain much need calcium lost from egg production.
If there aren't even some crumbs of shell left and no panicing happened I vote snake, too. They can be very sneaky.
Not amusing in their behavior necessarily, but in their existence as a life form.Crabs are very amusing to me. When I think about crabs I almost always end up smiling.
crane flies and opiliones are both clumsy moe.
