Are crows supposed to do this?
I feel like crows aren't supposed to do this.

What type of spider is this? Sorry these are the best photos I can get. I live in central Texas.
The legs are hairy and it has a big black mouth(?) that looks like boxing gloves. Seems smaller than a Hobo Spider though(?)
Also I've seen a bunch of these little things in my apartment, usually on the walls/ceilings.
My cat continually pisses/shits in my bed and sometimes elsewhere outside of her litter box. Her litter box is completely clean. I've had her for 3 years and sometimes she just decides to ruin my things for a while. I'm at a loss of what to do besides getting rid of her at this point.
Is she desexed? Do you have other animals/are there strays in the area? How big is your house, do you keep her locked up in a single room? Has she been checked by a vet? Could have a medical issue.
When my cat started peeing everywhere we found he had a tumor pushing on his bladder.
>>2112021
Yes she's spade, no other animals, 3 bedroom apartment of a decent size. Haven't had her checked this time but when i did before nothing was wrong. I don't think it's a medical thing as she pooped in my bed yesterday and shit and pissed in in tonight so it's not just a bladder thing.

Your cat is severely stressed about something in her environment. Might as well just re-home her. You aren't happy, she isn't happy.
Cats or dogs?

Dogs are the master race.
Cats are nice but there's less reward in keeping them. They're ungrateful little shits and it's a bitch to train them not to do anything.

Doggy day care!!
Does your dog go? Have you ever worked at one? It's my dog's first day. I hope she's having fun.
Well, like anything, it depends on where you go. Some people just board them all day and only let them out to pee. Some people claim otherwise, but don't follow through. Generally, major chains are trustworthy (as in, you can take them for their word). Smaller or private owner places, you'll have to use your instinct.
You would no better than us, really.
I've never worked at one, but I hear that the dogs really like going. I'm sure she's having a good time
>>2110679
Oh, right ... the best indication is if the dog wants to go back the next day. If it's digging in so it doesn't have to go in the door, well, then she didn't like it so much. How hard she tries to not go in will tell you if she just doesn't want to be away from you, or if she really hates that place. If you can't lure her in the door with sweet words and a treat, then it's probably pretty bad.

Hey /an/
I've had this little self contained environment going for about a month now (5 weeks to be precise) I've got a beaker the size of a football (soccer ball) that I plan on using next.
Anyway this environment contains some large plants, duckweed, snails ( can't keep count they breed like rabbits) and some detritus worms to breakdown all the snail poop and help put nutrients back in the water. So far this ecosystem has been totally self sustained, I just need to add sunlight and it is thriving. Anyone else do this kind of thing? General discussion...

That's really cool!
If the snails are indeed breeding like rabbits though, a miniature extinction event could befall this little ecosystem. First, the snails could eat themselves out of house and home, and then die. The increased ammonia level in the water from decomposition could kill off whatever is left.
On the other hand, it is possible that the snails will stop breeding once they feel too crowded.
Be sure to monitor this experiment. It is quite fascinating.
Yes, Anon. I do.

>Abronia graminea is an endangered arboreal alligator lizard described in 1864 by Cope.This species is endemic to the highlands of the states of Veracruz and adjacent Puebla, Mexico. It is considered to be moderately common and is regularly recorded, but its abundance is decreasing. Animals inhabit bromeliads in the canopy of montane pine-oak and cloud forest. It seems unlikely that this species can be found in degraded habitat. This is a viviparous species. The species is threatened...

What kind of bug is this? It tried to sting me so I killed it...
Tarantula hawk.
>tried to sting you
And you know that how?
>>2114207
No.
It is some species of parasitoid wasp though. Absolutely not a tarantula hawk, and almost all parasitoid wasps cannot and do not sting humans under any circumstances.
Tarantula hawks and velvet ants can though, but even they only do if they think you're attacking them.
I saw a stinger, it most definitely was some sort of defense. I'm a Kentuckyfag
I found a kitten in the walls at my office, and brought him back home. Is there anything I should know to make sure he's okay? I have an adult cat but she's much older and I don't really know how to raise a kitten.

>a kitten in the walls at my office
were there other kittens?? is the mother there??
>>2114144
>other kittens
Not that we found. That said, this isn't the first time we have found a kitten in the walls.
>mother
The ones we found a few months ago looked like this little guy, so there is an unidentified mother out there.
>>2114178
Keep an eye out. Mom cats move their kittens one by one all the time. She probably isn't far with the rest of the kittens. She may have just left this one behind.
How much is .15 ml? My pet is on antibiotics and I can't figure out how much to fill up the syringe.
>>2114102
this, famalam
Did that actually come with the medication, or was it a generic one that they gave you?
Honestly, I wouldn't even bother starting it up until you get a more precise syringe. You're bound to fuck it up one way or another with that thing.
>>2114102
Don't do this.
Hey /an/
What do here?
I recently moved in with my boyfriend. He has a cat and I have a dog. He's had his cat a near year and I noticed it would get repeat eye infections, so I brought it to the vet and the vet diagnosed him with conjunctivitis and I bought it some drops. I would get it's eyes cleared up and it would get another one almost immediately.
After a bit, I started noticing how much my boyfriend neglects his cat litter the longer I lived with him, the first few months he was on top of it all the time.
If I don't do it, he will...
