Today, while I was opening the door to my apartment, a stray kitten got in it before I could react. Now I can't find it.
I searched under the bed, behind the closet, etc. but still can't see it. All windows were closed.
There is a possibility that it somehow got out out the door just like it got in while I was confused about him getting in, but in case it's still here, I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to get its attention and lure it out? Smell of food and "kitty kitty" didn't work
2) Can I expect it to come out on its own? I...

Get a can of cat food and microwave it.
Out of the can, obviously.
Congrats, you were cat chosen.

I would like to hear from people that have a French bulldog. My wife bought one and is going to pick it up Saturday.
Its AKC registered.4 months old. She paid $1.600 for it.
Now we have had a English bulldog that died of old age at the beginning of summer. It had skin and hip issues and respiratory problems at the end and cost a shit load at the vets but the money is not the problem it was the struggle keeping him healthy.
Now she assured that her dogs (breeders) have been check for hip displacement and spine compression and not had much if any skin issues or breathing...

>Now she assured that her dogs (breeders) have been check for hip displacement and spine compression and not had much if any skin issues or breathing problems.
This is all lies and complete horseshit. As a puppy, yes it may have very few issues. But give it time.
>>2019453
The puppy's have not been checked the breeding pair (parents) have.
>What I want to know is how are they as far a behavioral problems, intelligents etc.
those are questions you should have asked the breeder.
I found an old memory card with pictures from when I used to live in Sasebo, Japan. Thought I would share some pictures of when I visited Nagasaki Biopark.

What should I name it?
Also, what kind of turtle is it?
Sorry for the sideways photo

Looks like a red-eared slider OP. Very cute. I recommend the name Virgil.

How much does /an/ know about pterosaurs?
>>2018643
about 12 I'd guess.
>>2018644
that's right! Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 12 meters
I'm bored.
I've got here a tennis ball inside a sock. I'm going to go out into the alley and throw it into the air until a bat flies into it; then I will capture the bat (of course using precautions to not get rabies like an idiot) and take pictures of it before releasing it.
Tell me why this is a bad/good idea.
Thats a fucking retarded idea on every possible level.
Why would you think smashing a tiny animal out the the air with a ball wouldnt hurt it? Also why would you even think you'd be able to hit one doing that?
>>2016294
They fly right into them. Echolocation. They think it's a bug or something. can do the same thing with a wiffle ball on a string or a tennis racket, but that sounds more cruel to me.
Make sure to fill it with nails, tie off the tail of the sock so they don't fall out. This will work a lot better.

Cassowary vs lion

People might dismiss this one for being an obvious lion victory, but cassowaries are not things to be messed with. If it got a good start, that lion's dead.
My cat was making pained noises trying to clean something near her tail, she finally let me take a picture of it and it looks like sort of serious lesion, does anyone have any idea what it could be? My room-mate says I should wash it with alchohol but Im worried that could make it worse, should I take her to a vet pronto?
You answered your own question, didn't you?
Infected cyst from a cat fight
Go to the vet and have them lance it and give your cat antibiotics
Don't wait or it might become bloodborne
>>2017605
Op reporting in, did that, they drained it and gave me antibiotics to give her. She has a cone now but I think she's feeling better. Thanks /an/
Fucking how do I manage this?
>tried redirecting
>tried lip pinching
>tried No and Leave It and sudden obedience training
>Tried fingers down throat
>Currently trying Timeouts.
She just gets to a manic state sometimes where she just endlessly tries to attack feet and hands and won't stop for anything.
I don't want to smack her or spray her or something but argh... I know it's a aerially...

Other than that.
Assuming it's not because of lack of bite inhibition (if it is, I can't help you. I have a year old cat that still fucks me up because it left it's mom and siblings too soon) I would say get him a bunch of different chews. Antlers, bones, ropes, doggy teethers, whatever, and see if he likes those any better than your hand. If not, the dog trainer I trained under would fucking screech when a dog would bite or scratch her to 'train' the dog that it's not ok. I'll be honest, I've yet to see that work and it just sets off my anxiety, but it's...

How many hobo/stray animals are you feeding right now?
I'm pretty rural and I have about 5 regulars that show up every day to be fed with my outside barn cats.
Half of the stray ones are basically feral and won't let me get within 3 feet of them. The others probably belonged to someone in the past because they are very tame. I feel bad for them. We go through 25# cat food a week.
People dump and drop off their unwanted animals out here all the time.
Pic related is one that I'm trying to work with at the moment. I call him Spizzy....

you shouldn't do that you dumb fuck
>>2019473
I have one dog that showed up here that I'm feeding.
>>2019473
A bunch of feral cats that turn up in my garden quite often. They're pretty harmless really.
Why is it called the White-necked Crow? Its neck is not white and it's not like there was a shortage of distinctive characteristics. Its irises are red. That’s relay rear in members of the Corvus genus. They should call it the Red-eyed Crow and if there is already a Corvid called that then they should call it the Red eyed Raven.
I am going to post some images of this animal. 'Cause this is an image board and I want you to see the lack of white in it's neck.
See, not white on the neck.
My sister's toy poodle at about a third of an Orange Lindor Truffle. What do guys, this was like 5 minutes ago. Little girl is nursing puppies and I am shitting myself right now
Take it to the vet/animal hospital
Call the vet and see what they say. It was a small portion, but it's also a small dog and dark chocolate.
>allows her dog to consume chocolate
>is a BYB
If it survives tell your sister to give the dog to a shelter so someone responsible can take care of it.
Why is this dog so goofy looking? Is something wrong with it?
And don't tell me it's just a greyhound, I've owned greyhounds, they generally look more... proportioned than this.
Looks like the photo just caught it in an odd stance. Walking backwards?
It's an azawakh. Google the breed!
