>>4787909I'll do that. I also arranged the bowls in such a way that I'll know if it touched the food or not. Really, if the kitty is feeding itself and isn't injured, it shouldn't be a huge problem.Another thing that I noticed is the meowing. Last night it started at around 22 and continued all the way to 2AM. I want to see if it will calm down tonight. I dunno if cats just instinctively know when to stop meowing to avoid dehydration.
Speaking of cat races I think Chai is a Norwegian forest cat but she loves roti, paratha, kulfi, lassi, paneer, and samosas. She won't eat beef either. Is she actually a pajeeta? If so how do I honor her heritage?

Terror birds are fucking overrated predators. Only reason why people obsess over them is because they're the only hypercarnivore terrestrial bird, the closest thing to Dinosaur raptors. People keep glazing these birds because they're annoyed that mammals dominate the current age. But frankly, terror birds are terrible predators compared to mammals.Reasons:>On average, terror birds weigh less than mammalian apex predator.>Sharp beaks but are not as useful or powerful as toothed jaws.>No teeth means can't hold down large prey with mouth like canines, felines, and bears can.>Reduced forelimbs means less weapons for hunting and combat unlike cats and bears that can use all four limbs.>Can't wrestle nor jump on backs like cats and bears do which allows them to take down big preys like bovines.>No evidence for pack hunting or high intelligence like canines. Canines can compete against bears and felines because of their numbers.>Pathetic hollow bones means they're very robust.The North and South American interchange resulted in these birds being bullied and displaced by chad mammals. They aren't as good as hunters as cats nor can they beat one in combat unless they have significant weight advantage. Felines, Canines (with numbers), and Bears have a good chance at taking down large herbivore preys but terror birds? They're way to weak and lack the weaponry. Terror birds only hunted small or medium sized prey animals.
>>4787774>Also I think its really only possible compare Titanis to other placental carnivores since it obviously coexisted with them, in that regard, the only things really larger than it (around 300+ KG) and were predators were Arctodus, which probably didn't compete with it since it was a bear.But an Arctodus would absolutely fuck up a Titanis if they were to fight. If a Titanis and Arctodus come across a carcass at the same time, who'd you think would flee?
>>4787845They also get scared off by vultures all the time.
>>4787845damn, I had no idea cheetahs had driven Ostriches to extinction.Thank you for continuing to confirm that you are a fucking retard.
>>4787601If this is what they actually looked like then they’d be a force to be reckoned with
>>4787847Oh absolutely an Arctodus would fuck up Titanis if it came to that, but I was trying to say that Arctodus is a bear and most research I've seen seems to place it as an omnivore, so they're not competing for the same food source and thus Titanis probably doesn't compete with Arctodus.

i ordered the rainy blue rose own root (pic related) and i live in zone 6. (canada)it's a japanese rose (originally german-bred) with hardiness being zones 5~10. it's a small climber. (5 ft)my goal is to train it to climb over an arbor. i know it's supposedly a smaller climber, but that's why i intend to raise the bed of it higher with a tall planter pot to make it over the arch at least half way.i need it to stay in a pot because i intend to sell my current house 5 yrs later and want to bring my plants with me, rather than leave it behind with the new owners. i'm also afraid that it won't fare so well in canadian winter, so i was going to store it in my unheated garage after it goes dormant.some questions:>sufficient pot size recs for my goal?>what can i do to ensure it's survival and so it grows vigorously? >is it fine to plant near the end of may? (when it arrives)>canadian winter protection tips?>tips to maximize blooms?>how to prune canes for better "air circulation"? any tips on what to look out for?Comment too long.

>>4787829The bigger and healthier the roots the more and bigger the bloomings, so they come with ages and good fertilizers >tfw rotated
>>4787830>>4787829Sick as fuck, looks like red hot metal. Hell yeah
>>4787848I know right, it's fucking amazingWe have them here in Lima Perú, they're called "Golden Sun" (Sol de Oro)I got that one from a garden nearby It's the best Golden Sun specimen I've seen so far, it looks better irl Idk what kind of fertilizer the old lady uses
>>4787829>>4787830wow!!! thank you so much, i thought i saw something about upgrading pots but i thought i could skip right to the biggest. in this case, i'll start with a smaller one.>But you should keep it inside on a place with good light, and feed it until it recovers from the trip, and then furthermore until it becomes strong and healthy; only then take it outside (this perhaps will take you 4 to 6 months, don't rush it)hey so when you mean feed it, do you mean watering and fertilizing? i think the snow/frost period is over (we are getting lots of rain though) is this in case of a cold snap? i don't have a lot of sunny areas inside my town house so i'm a little concerned about bringing it inside.i'll have to dig out my very poor japanese and korean to do more research on the specific rose, but thank you so much. learning as i go.
>>4787863>hey so when you mean feed it, do you mean watering and fertilizingYep, artificial fertilizers can kill your plant if done wrong, natural fertilizers are way less risky It should be ok if the temperature is not so cold outside, pretty sure you can find info about it in english somewhere

>>4787824*Modern dog breeds. Dogs started to become specialised for certain jobs not long after they became properly domesticated>ugg need dog to guard uggs children when ugg hunting. Ugg choose the biggest and guardiest puppy.>grugg need dog to sniff out prey. grugg choose the sniffiest puppyAnd so on. Dog breeds have come and gone, but specialization has been there from the beginning. Not to mention the different environments that the dogs needed to survive in, consider the difference in landrace breeds from the arctic circle and africa, they're incredibly specialised just due to their environment.Domestic cats specialised to their environment too, but that's about it. Since cats only had two jobs since the beginning of their domestication journey: be mousers and companions, there was no need for specialisation. So cat breeds are a much more recent thing.
