If you don’t tell your cats that they are good boys, how will they know that they are good boys? Lol

I mostly agree but I would argue that spirituality comes from within, while religion comes from external sources. Religion is just other people’s packaged version of spirituality/faith.

Things are getting better. Scooter has been being pretty friendly to Noki. Noki is still unsure when entering the same room because Scooter likes to run over and give headbutts and he can’t tell if it’s going to be friendly or not. If he stands his ground it’s all good but if he runs Scooter gives chase but it’s getting better everyday now.

They’ve been together for about two years with no problems, but a few weeks back Noki got outside for a few hours and when he came back Scooter went ballistic and started attacking him. Idk what smell he picked up but it really set Scooter off. I don’t think the smell is a problem anymore but they both seem to be holding a grudge about the fight. I kept them separate for a few days and fed them treats together under a door until they started getting along again but things aren’t stable yet. They’ll be good for a while and then next time they see each other they’ll hiss. Cats right? 🤷🏼‍♂️

That was an amazing cover. Lol

Thank you! I had experienced something similar the first time Scooter went to have his teeth pulled. Noki didn’t recognize him at first but it only involved a little hissing and only lasted a day. This time I think it was a combo of him smelling like outside, Scooter being a more aggressive youngster and the fact he saw him come over the fence into the yard. They never go outside except in the catio, so he saw him as an intruder because cats in the yard are usually strangers. I’m just thankful it’s getting better. It was pretty stressful for a few days.

Just noticed my ninja account is working again!

Things are slowly getting back to normal. I had to keep them separate for almost a week and just kept giving them treats together. Currently there is still occasional hissing and if Noki doesn’t stand his ground Scooter will give chase but it’s not vicious like it was. Mostly positive interactions though with some grooming and headbutts.

Thank you!

I think it’s gotta be Scooter (The snowshoe) His full name is Scooter Bug, because he is constantly bugging everybody. He’s always gotta be right where the action is. If I’m petting and talking sweet to one of the others he needs to come and insert himself in between the pets. He also likes to wrestle and is constantly tackling the others. Oh and he gets wet food because of his teeth being removed and he thinks he’s special because the other cats only get it occasionally. Lol

Yes! He is literally the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. He is always just chill as heck, never much of a problem (aside from the occasional couch scratch) and always down to cuddle. He sleeps between my legs every night.

I try to post a picture of my cats every day or two. It’s not much, but I get a fair amount of engagement on some of them. Aside from that I scroll daily and comment and upvote when something catches my eye. Haven’t been back to Reddit since Apollo died so this is my only social media and I really want too see it grow.

My mom made both blankets in the picture. The black and white in the lower right corner and the one Noki is laying on. All I know is that the yarn comes from Michaels craft stores and she usually orders online.

Yeah and then I spend a minute brushing all the hair off my nose and going pfffff schpffffft. Lol

Haha. He’s got his little punk rock arm bands from his surgeries. Where the hair is growing back, you can see the shave lines and it looks like corduroy.

This reminds me of an article I just saw. Uber is partnering with taxi companies in LA to provide rides. Congratulations, you re-invented something that already exists. Lol

Are you sure it didn’t?
