Thin Privilege posted:He loves all people he’s been introduced to. He’s so sweet and loving. Though I’ve always told people to be gentle with him. As as I said before he didn’t like loud, active people on tv (loud, moving their arms a lot, etc—I watch exclusively trash tv) so I tell people who meet him to be gentle. I'm a musician; any time that I've gotten a new car, it takes 1-3 months for them to get used to the sound of me practicing or composing. Eventually it goes from "nuclear attack, every cat for themself!" to vaguely turning the other way on whatever furniture that they are lounging on/covering with fur.

Those things on my fridge say “live each day like you finally caught the red dot.” they’re from https://meowingtons.com , a good website for crazy cat people who want cat-themed clothes and items.

Chester is a very lovely boy! We took a kitty in from a shelter who had been left wild til he was about 4 months old. When he was rescued he was riddled with ringworm and then was in isolation for a while until he was clear and the rescue got him in with the other cats to learn good manners. He did the whole being afraid of mirrors and not understanding basic house things too but aside from some very weird habits he’s the sweetest boy. Sort of feral kitties rule, even if they’re a lot of hard work! So many kudos to you.

Chester was insanely feral. I think I might have toned it down in my old posts but I don’t remember. Anyways, In the very beginning, I’ll be honest and say I was massively attacked a few times if I walked near him or tried to touch him. I have some Chester scars. And I did have to towel burrito him 3 times. But it’s ok because I knew it was part of the process. When I was a kid we dealt with a lot of feral cats so I know how to deal with these guys. I said before too that a super calm and sweet voice is like magic. Remember how butters hated him? They did a nose kiss touch today. It took waaaay more months to get him to house-cat level, way more than the Internet talks about the process. Just an update for today, I just gave them ALL treats and they all came together and were cool. Chester did have to have me next to him cause he feels like I have to protect him. Also he is now ok with me hugging and kissing him (not on the mouth obviously, just on top of his head). Chester is a very good cat. Here are some pics from just now. Yes I know that frame needs something on it.   SNOUT

I also love chesty, but I must say his paws look like normal sized cat paws to me and not the gargantuan abominations I was expecting from the hyperbole. Maybe I need to see them next to one of the other kittens' paws.

Chester is adorable.

I have to ask: how does sleeping work with all those cats? Like, you have to wake to covered by/surrounded by half a dozen of them every day.

It is very The most cats I've taken care of at once was three at a time, when I was fostering my friend's kittens, and I woke up everyday to one cat on top of me and one at each side. (They took turns for who was on top of My. St. Bobbie.) My apartment had a weird setup because of the size of the rooms, so my bedroom was what was supposed to be the living room, in the middle of the apartment/Kitty Cat Rodeo & Racetrack. The kittens would literally run on top of me, multiple times, while they raced around the apartment at 2 AM. Moral of the story: cats are adorable and jerks.

Chester HATES the smell of my new air conditioner so he’s been hissing at everyone, including me, so I’ve had to close him in his room a few times (  ) ((he’s fine going in there, it’s his chill spot so there’s no problem but I don’t like locking him up)), but he also loves the ac and sits in front of the thing the whole time. Doesn’t make any sense; actually, it does: cats.  Reintroductions are in order and considering a feliway in the outlet under the ac. E: ordered feliway, what’s the harm. Gonna be here in 1-3 hours, yay for living here & amazon prime now. Will update. Thin Privilege fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Jun 18, 2018 |

Have you heard of "The Trainable Cat?" It's a book by a couple of experts on cat behavior that I heard about on NPR (where I always get ideas for books to give people). I bought a copy for a friend because he has two cats that are assholes who will stalk and attack people in a not-playful way. One of them also pees on things every now and then that she's not supposed to, and his girlfriend is ready to get rid of that cat. I'm curious if you've perused it at all, and what you think. And if not, any advice for dealing with rear end in a top hat cats like that? (I feel like if anyone would know, it would be you, ya crazy cat lady.  (Which I mean in the best way possible.))

One of them also pees on things every now and then that she's not supposed to, and his girlfriend is ready to get rid of that cat. I'm curious if you've perused it at all, and what you think. I never heard of the book but I’m gonna pick it up. I’d have to know the specifics of the rear end in a top hat-ness of the behavior to give specific advice because all cats are different with different personalities, and they have to be treated on an individual basis. For example, I am taking 2 days off work cause I’m sick and so I’m at home all day, the cats are super confused and also now have to be awake. The rest are OK mostly—I have to give Fluffy crazy attention though— but Chester got suuuuuper cranky cause he’s used to sleeping all day on tuesdays so I had to put him to sleep. Like tucking in a 2 year old. I don’t understand how they know my crazy work schedule but welp, cats. I’ve said before that I separate them; some of the cats don’t get along so while I’m out of the house I put them in different rooms. I have baby gates so they can still smell each other so they’re not like, “who the gently caress is this new guy  ” when I come home. I learned this cause when I was young and dumb and got my first cats in ‘08 I had no clue what the gently caress I was doing and didn’t know how to introduce cats; so, I just left them all together immediately so Fluffy and Kitty hate each other. They’re chill now but sometimes Fluffy is an rear end in a top hat and chases after Kitty so I’d rather avoid the possibility of conflict when I’m not around; hence, separate rooms with baby gates. Giving Fluffy constant attention today prevents him from being an rear end in a top hat towards Kitty. All are different. Update on feliway: these fuckers calmed the hell down as soon as I plugged it in. Mews just sits in front of it. Chesty and Butters haven’t been assholes towards each other. Chesty is being cranky today but as you know he’s moody and also very sleepy. Otherwise though he’s super chill.  Also baby voice does magic. Wittle chesty besty you are the bestest cat ever, and such. I have no idea why it works but it does. Not just on Chesty, on all of them. Sorry I don’t think my post is coherent enough, the summary is that each cat needs to be treated on an individual basis, and I love all my cats.

Chester apparently REALLY loves being brushed by the swifter 360 wand. I petted him as a joke and he went crazy. I tried to put it away and he was all, “mreowr? Where did my wand go?” So then I petted him more with the wand and he flattened out like a pancake being petted. Who pets a pancake with a swifter 360? crazy people. E: I felt like trying to give them ALL catnip TOGETHER. They are having a huge stoner party and Chester thinks one of my shoes belongs to him (I didn’t touch it or try to take it away, he’s just holding it like a baby blanket )E2: this is chesters eyes. They are COMPLETELY DILATED

The 70s thread got me to play some ABBA and Chester got so happy he was crazy laying and rolling on my lap. Second time ever he’s gone on my lap willingly done it. All the pics of me and him and him on the lap are blurry as crap cause he was going around being petted like crazy, but here’s him listening to some ABBA and smiling when he went on the couch; he’s looking at my computer where the sound is coming from. *next day update: I am playing it on my phone and he’s chilling next to me—and rubbing on my phone. Wtf is with ABBA and Chesty. Thin Privilege fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jun 30, 2018 |
