Skunks.

I'm not kidding, a lot of people own ferrets and skunks together.

Pet Skunks have their scent glands removed so they can't squirt you. They're basically bigger, fatter ferrets that are more work but at least you can hug them in your arms.

LOL NIGGAS! I have a cat nao.

My brother is deathly allergic to cats, so I won't be able to bring it with me when I move back in with my parents.

I'll ask around for whoever the owner might be, tomorrow, but for tonight, do I need to worry about this cat shitting anywhere?

I fed him ONE can of tuna. Will that be enough to hold him over the night?

Dog owners like to feed their dogs chocolate and cheese even though it's poison for them. Is tuna poison to cats? I saw the cat eating grass outside, I didn't know cats did that.

I had one in high school named Charley. I went out one day with some friends and he was out of the cage chilling in my birbproofed room and when I came home my mum had gone into my room, left the door open, and my sister's cat had gotten to him.

Best pet I've ever had. It's been years and I still miss the little guy. If I'd put him away he'd be chilling on my head right now.

There's evidence that other mammals dream, but a reptile's brain is a fair bit more primitive. Wait, do reptiles even sleep?

Ok, I know these niggers can "talk" But is it anything past mimicry?

Can they communicate ideas with language? "Like fuck you go away" or "hey im hungry" or like "i wanna get out" "pet me" whatever

Alex the Parrot could identify objects with specific features, but sometimes identified every single object other than the ones he was supposed to. So that shows flexibility of thinking, if not language.

Hi /an/. I just inherited a plant from an aunt. It originally belonged to my grandmother who knew what it was but has long since been forgotten. It has a climbing habit & puts out aerial roots that cling to brick apparently. It also roots easily. Does anyone here know what it is? I want to research what it likes so that I do t kill it. Thanks in advance.
