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.
Hurry up already! Put the phone down and make with the treats!
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? 🤷🏼♂️
Things have gotten better. They are friendly like 80% of the time. Hanging out on the bed or couch with me is ideal. When they pass in the hallway it's a toss up on if they'll hiss or not.
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
If you don't tell your cats that they are good boys, how will they know that they are good boys? Lol
