dammit cats, after a good day yesterday misha's getting all hissy at the sight of cerys.

It's your daughter you daft mink. This is literally a self-created problem.

Daughter might smell weird for some reason.

Feliway Friends is a good idea if the behaviour continues or escalates!

We've been pumping that shit straight into the ducts for six weeks straight, been doing the isolation / territory swaps, feeding either side of a door, high value treats (gotta get more freeze dried crocodile btw), safe viewing at a distance while pleasurable activities are occurring / in safe arms of fave human and falling to our knees abject pleading. Next step will be stuffing them up each other's butts and bowling them down the hill.

😹😹Sorry, that sounds immensely frustrating, but I'm dying laughing at your turn of phrase

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

oh I regularly threaten to do that to them. Also selling them to the zoo as "tiny lions". Well, Misha and Punkin (ginger) were the lions, Cerys is a rare miniature panther (torbie).

I threaten to turn mine into slippers. Which they know I wouldn't do because they don't match.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

"If you don't knock it off i swear to god i'm gonna wear you as a slipper" i am familiar with this one.

I threatened to turn mish into a thong once and fart but His Lordship's hysterics kinda undercut that one

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Aw man that's so damn rough! I'm sorry!

You are doing everything right, I hope Misha calms down soon!

How old are they, if I may ask?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

Cerys is 12 years, four months. Misha's roughly 18 months older. Literally been together since Cerys was born (under a foosball table, a sign of great fortune)
