ITT we discuss the creation and sharing of bestiaries (I.E. a compendium of fantastical creatures).
Imagine walking through the forest with good ol' Canis when all of a sudden he finds something in the dirt: an old leather journal, bound tight and covered in dirt. You save its contents for your return home.
Carefully removing the thread, dust escapes as the beasts within take their long forgotten breath. The leather shudders in your hand like arising bone as you turn the cover. The name ______ stained in thick, black ink across the page. For hours your fingers...

What jobs involve dogs that aren't training/day care or grooming?
Jobs along the line of RSPCA inspectors and such, if they involve other animals that's fine.

By training I mean domestic training, have toyed with the idea of K9 training.

Anyone have any experience with making their own cat tower? Any tips? Do's/Dont's?
Don't put in deadly traps.
>>2160939
Good advice.
>>2160922
Base should be heavy and sturdy, so that if the cat is fucking around at the top, it won't make the whole thing fall. That was my mistake.
Also try to use fabrics your cat likes to scratch. If your cat scratches your leather couch, get some fake leather for it, or the carpet, use excess carpet etc.
I really like mushrooms, probably my favorite kind of plant (not talking about halucinogenic drugs, just eating mushrooms). I want to try to grow some at home, and was wondering if anyone here does something like that, and has any advice.
*mushroom general*
They are also pretty, I wonder if i could manage to have one as like a potted plant?

Hey, /an/, I'm hoping a cat owner can help me out here.
Pic related is a stray cat that we've been feeding for the past few months. While initially we were only feeding him because he was clearly starving and we had cat food on hand, inevitably everyone living here and everyone who comes over has fallen in love with the affectionate little dork.
This picture was taken when I was inside with him on the Fourth of July because I didn't want him to get hurt or lost again, but I can't leave him inside when I'm not there because a) the landlord...

I do not feel this course of action would help as it would likely only make me more sad.

Bravecto is like fucking 40 dollars senpai. There is no way you cannot afford 40 dollars.
>>2163389
Alright thank you...so I should not use the old flea treatment?
>>2163406
No.
Are hairless cats really hypoallergenic? I want a shpynx but I'm highly allergic to your run of the mill cat.
>>2163368
No. In fact, they might trigger your allergies worse since they are so greasy and rub their oils errywhere
You're allergic to all cats.
What causes cat allergies is their saliva, not their hair.
They look like what can only be described as sentient old man scrotum.

Isn't this your cat's way of saying she thinks you're incompetent and can't catch your own food? It's a present in the same sense giving an obese women a gym membership is a present.
>>2163338
yeah cats think their owners are just really big hairless cats that can't hunt worth a damn, so they think you're starving/sick and try to help you
it's kinda sweet when you word it right, but you could also interpret it as cats thinking they've been in the business of babysitting your unruly ass since the dawn of domestication
here you might want to see how it works.

Let's settle this once and for all. Are they just le epik maymay or do they have some sort of merit? They seem cute and intelligent.
I want to get a small dog in the future but I don't like poodles or terriers.
>>2162937
Hey anon, I have one and she is very smart and high energy.
The only thing I have to complain about is housebreaking, but once they have it down, they're set for life. No more mistakes.
Here, I just drew this just for you.
>>2162961
Thank you for the cute doggo, anon. I was having a shit day and now I feel better.
House training shouldn't be a problem after my last dog which was an abused stray that had spent her entire life living in her own shit.
They aren't that bad. Especially not if they aren't your first dog.
So I have a 7 year old neutered male cat and my girlfriend has a 10 year old spayed female cat. Would it be possible for the two to get along if we ever moved in together? My cat is very friendly and has lived with other cats before. He's a mixed indoor and outdoor cat, going and coming as he pleases but usually staying in during the night.
Hers is a bit territorial and acts aggressively to cats outside. She's an indoor cat.
Are there any possible techniques that would be applicable here?
>>2162909
Pretty much zero and your cat can give her cat FIV.
