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.

I don’t know who this guy is but don’t beat yourself up about it. There are so many YouTubers with decent content but problematic personalities/tendencies. It would be a full time job just to keep up with who is actually a dirtbag in disguise. Obviously we shouldn’t be supporting these creators once we find out they suck, but you shouldn’t be expected to research the creator of every video you find interesting.

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.

like this?

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!

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

Does yours actually block YouTube ads? I followed instructions and set my pi-hole up a few years ago and it works pretty well on most things but does not block YouTube ads. I was told this was because YouTube hosts the ads on the same IP address as the videos and therefore the pi-hole can’t tell the difference? However, I’ve been using smart tube on my Nvidia shield tv box and that blocks the ads. Do I just need to update my block list on the pi-hole?

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.
