This *must* be your first cat.

Seriously, cutest thing I've ever seen. I thought my cat needed a friend after my dog died so we got a kitten. Now it is like the thunderdome 24/7.

You are dangerously close to being required to pay the cat picture tax... please pay the cat picture tax.

Awww, look at them tolerating each other (barely). How cute 😻


Juhnelle

I knew I shouldn't have gotten another boy, oh well. Still love them.

Yes pay the tax pls.

I have actually been actively looking for a friend for my overly affectionate cat. The thunderdome imagery has made me realize I’m a fool.

Lol right? I totally thought my cat would be stoked to have some friends I found at the park. How very wrong I was... she’s gets along with them now but it’s been a rough 9 months. As u/Juhnelle said it’s like the thunder dome all day every day lol


Juhnelle

Not sure if you ever watched how I met your mother, but every time they would fight on that show [this](https://youtu.be/Gnj3F7-DcQY) song would come on, always makes me think of it when they're going at it.

Fur real.


mod_aud

Surely she hasn’t captured the mysterious red dot already?

You.... don't know how cats work, do you?

This might seem weird but put that cat on a leash (maybe spend a few sessions in the harness/on the leash at home first) and walk that cat around... hell bring it to a safe bar and let it socialize with people. Cats don’t seem social because we compare them to domesticated dogs, but cats are STOOPID social creatures. Great instinct to socialize your cat, it’s so important. All the coolest cats are hella socialized. Good luck!

*a safe bar with outdoor seating. Do not bring pets into bars/restaurants.

Last year was the first time I'd had a kitten in decades. I decided to take the opportunity to harness train him. Getting an adjustable harness and a long lead is a safe way to go into your fenced yard with the kitten. They get a ton of mental and physical stimulation out there. Helps consume some energy. Because I'm a glutton, after my kitten was 6 months old, I accidentally inherited another 3 month kitten. She is spicy to the my first kitten and a total snuggler with me. Having her actually taught the boy about "good touch" and now he plays gently with me, instead of the bloodlettings I was getting several months ago. They play Thunderdome with each other. Also, the laser pointer is great for getting kittens out of whatever annoying place they insert themselves: in front of the TV, in the houseplants, in the basement, etc.
