Are pandas autistic bears? Is that the reason why they don't mate very often?
>>2095675
They're the only "bears" that willing smother, kill or willingly neglect their offspring. As far as we should be concerned, nature should be allowed to take its course in regards to the panda. If they're too stupid to mate, then that's natty sells at work.

tripfags are too stupid to mate

Yeah, it sure is nature taking its fucking course for pandas.
I have a muted calico cat, who is 6 years old. She has never been sick before, but is really ill right now. She recently killed a mouse, I'm not sure if the mouse had anything to do with these problems, but there is something serious wrong with her. I have an appointment for the vet but can't get her in for a week.
Symptoms
>loss of appetite
>loss of weight
>appears to be sweating
Any ideas on what could cause this? Thanks.

>>appears to be sweating
uhh...never heard of that one.
>Any ideas on what could cause this? Thanks.
Being honest, brace yourself for the possibility of putting your cat down. Loss of appetite and loss of weight are pretty much two awful indicators in any animal.

Her fur feels damp and she is hot. Its as if she is sweating.
>Being honest, brace yourself for the possibility of putting your cat down. Loss of appetite and loss of weight are pretty much two awful indicators in any animal.
That's what I'm afraid of, thanks for the honest reply though.
>appears to be sweating
Thfuck? Cats can't sweat. So unless she's just drooling all over or pissing herself then I have no idea what the fuck that could be.
Call a different vet, find an emergency one.
Well I just caught a baby rabbit.
I've had rabbits before SK I know for the most part what to do. But
How do I gain its trust?
Gender identifing?
>>2095501
The first important thing would be identifying whether it is actually a rabbit or a feral bunny.
rabbits are naturally lone wolfs and won't form any bonds.
>>2095501
And so the "lol I found a baby rabbit/bird in my yard and put it in a box, what do?" threads begin
Wild rabbits are notorious for being one of the least survivable animals to raise in captivity. You being there stresses them out majorly, especially with that one being as old as it is. You'll just kill it by trying to keep it.
Judging from the looks of it, it's old enough to have left its mother an gone out on its own, or at least old enough to not need its mother's milk. Just...

Well I live in the middle of nowhereish. I get what you're saying. I'll probs do that.. But it worries me cuz there's just way too much coyotes where we live and I got cats and dogs all over the yard. And hotside my property is just open desert. Idk where she/he would go
Its a lengthly question, I need to give a bit of background before I ask.
I've had many cats in my lifetime, my step mother is a legit cat lady so I've seen the good ones and bad ones, but my new cat I got for myself and my girlfriend has behaviour I never experienced.
The cat was born in October, a stranger posted a litter of strays to give away, I got one for my girlfriend in December. The cat was never handled and very hand shy, but she warmed up to people very quick.
The problem, randomly when your petting the cat, or not petting her at...

that cat's going to be a feral asshole forever. youre better off releasing it to coyotes cause you got yourself a shit pet. otherwise just dont touch it. it's never going to love you
>>2095495
I'm being conservative here when I say the correct solution to this cat's behavior is euthanasia.
You won't be able to fix it to an appreciable degree. It may stop attacking out of familiarity, but it's never going to be a "pet"
These dags are idiots. People literally tame full on wild cats, so don't put your kitty down. Make sure she has lots of places in the house to hide and also a litter box in a few places. Play with her more with toys to lower her energy. Never play with your hands cuz it'll encourage her biting. Don't let her attack you - use the spray bottle or just pin her still when she does. Don't hit her or hurt her but make attacking you a negative thing. Even just yell really loud when she does and she'll probably bolt. If it's still an issue you might wanna...

Wild onions or no? Just dug them up from a dark patch of the garden.

>>2095382
this, burn your garden down
>>2095370
Do they smell onion-y?
They look kinda like crocus bulbs to me.
Do either of these look like good breeders?
I want to get one of these two types of dogs, or an original german shepherd. But I prefer the longer coated ones.

Though I hate the very concept of dog "breeds" and breeding, you have to applaud those who are doing something to try to rescue lines ruined by AKC, inbreeding, and retardation.
It's sad, but in 2016, it surprised me to see any german shephard without roach back.

>>2094984
What causes roach back in German shepherds exactly? I know it's due to inbreeding but what exactly has hapened to the skeleton and what health problems does it arise?
