A bag of dirty cornstarch someone sold to a stupid person and told them it was heroin.

I will say every now and then, sloshing water around in my mouth and spitting it out will sometimes dislodge it.

Aggressive sloshing. Like try to increase pressure of water movements.

Idk how to describe it. But yeah. It has worked a few times for me.

You know that logic is sound. 😅

I have 3 litter boxes. They each have their own that the other can’t access (behind a door that they paw at and I let them enter and exit) and then one in a shared area.

I have a mostly open floor plan so the only areas they can block each other in is really just one door in the house. But there isn’t much I can do about that one.

They also both like to look out the front door which has a window front. Other animals come up so they like watching them.

So my desk also has a window that faces my porch. I generally don’t let the cats on my desk but I recently gave in and just cleared out a spot for a cat so now they can both watch the porch without fighting over the front door.

I don’t really want a cat on the desk but it’s a compromise I’ll make for now. Plus the young cat likes to sleep on the desk so it does make it easy to keep an eye on where he is.

I def try to make sure the younger cat is entertained as much as I can.

I have a lot of toys including electronic ones. He does like them and likes playing with the wand with me. He’s also able to play by himself with some toys. He occasionally plays on the cat tree.

I got a wheel too but not been able to get either cat to use it. Treats nor toys nor laser pointer will incentive them to use the wheel.

I definitely feel like young one sometimes picks on my older cat out of boredom.

But I can’t supervise/entertain him every moment he’s awake.

Well it doesn’t seem to be getting worse. But it’s not much better than it was 2 months ago.

I have definitely used boxes to try to block their line of sight.

Also if I see one blocking a path I move them . Like hanging out near the hallway entrance where the two litter box accesses are.

I also move food around during the day where there are two eating areas far from each other. And at night the cats are separated so it’s less of an issue then.

Yeah I make sure each cat gets multiple one on one time with me and play time.

They have certainly gotten better over these 4 months.

It took probably 2 months before they could be left out together most of the day.

But it feels like I’ve hit a plateau. Doesn’t feel like any more progress is being made.

It honestly feels like I’m babysitting toddlers all day.

I hear a smarl and a growl and have to get up from my desk and move a cat or chase one away or occasionally put one in the backroom for a while. On and off all day, every day.

The only time it’s peaceful is when they are both sleeping.

Yeah these two get very loud. That’s how I always know I have to get up and grab the squirt bottle.

They growl and hiss a lot all day.

Honestly it’s usually the older cat making the noises. Probably telling younger cat to back off.

I’ve wondered if young cat wants to play and isn’t getting the signal from old cat to back off, but when I pick him up to lock him in the backroom (which I do after a fight) he often growls and hisses too.

So they are both in fight mode.

Yeah that might be realistic.
At least to wear during the day time.

I’m a light sleeper and don’t want to hear the bells all night.

I keep the cats separated at night so that could work. Not a bad idea and inexpensive/easy to try.

That’s fair.

Surely he knows people don’t want these data centers. And is fully aware that he’s using underhanded unethical tactics to get it approved despite this.

But maybe I’m giving these people more credit than they deserve.

Most people with no ethics actually believe that what they do is fine and not wrong.

Yeah it’s real fighting. Yowling. Hissing. Growls.

Not playing.

I try to give them each a lot of individual attention. I’ve tried to get them to play with a wand toy at the same time.

Ive tried using treats to get them to play near each other.

At night I keep them separated since I can’t supervise them or if I have to leave the house.

Yeah it’s real fighting. Not just a casual slap.

Definitely not playing.

Yeah that has crossed my mind too. A proximity vibration would be great. I haven’t seen anything where you get two collars that vibrate when they get too close.

Someone should make one of those.

I’ve been keeping claws trimmed. I’ve used the caps in the past and there are pros and cons but I went ahead and bought some and might have to use them again.

I figured if young cat realizes he’s handicapped with the claw caps, maybe he won’t be so bold to initiate the fights. But who knows.

Why would he assume it was for him? Unless he knows he has done something to warrant it.

When I see a gullotine, it doesn’t make me nervous. Cause I know it’s not for me.

His reaction is admission of guilt.

I had to cut some steel poles off a trampoline frame.

Mind you, i’m not very strong but I was able to use a hacksaw I bought for like $20. It had grips on both sides.

I cut off all the poles in about 20 min. Just gotta keep it level. Makes very little noise.

I wore grip gloves to make it easier.

I highly recommend hacksaws with grips on both ends as this really helped. I bet someone stronger than me could cut through a pipe in about a min or 2 with one of them.

Barely making any noise.

I know. It’s so shocking when you spot one of those rare occurrences. …

Also I may have misunderstood that the person was being sarcastic…

Yeah that makes sense actually

Is this a snail trail reference?

Gas guy is lying. No way he could get away with that. The computers track it and it would show up as missing money at the end of the day.
