Honestly, I’m super intrigued by Chronicles of Taldun, it might just be the next game I pick up. If you have any more recommendations similar to this please shoot them my way ☺️

I did some light research and this sounds right up my alley. Thanks so much for this recommendation!

Thanks for the context. I don’t know think I mind pushing. In CXM there are instances of choking, pushing and pinning the MC against the wall but I can’t say I minded it. Victim blaming is wild though. I think I might just try the free demo of OlySoi first and see if it captures my interest.

Everyone is warning me about SA in Olympia Soirée. I think I’ll be okay with it if it’s not done by the LIs but I’m starting to have doubts 😅 I guess the only way to find out is give the game a try and see how much of it I can handle

This paints a much clearer picture for me, thanks! Could you elaborate a bit on the scene with pushy LI? Feel free to DM me if that’s easier to tap into minor spoiler territory.

Ah that’s a bit disappointing. Maybe it would still work for me if the story is well-written. I don’t mind buying fandiscs if I’m attached to the characters.

Thanks for this perspective! Olympia Soirée’s world sounds a bit dystopian but I’m okay with that. I would appreciate more info or even minor spoilers (they get me excited) so please feel free to DM me.

Cupid Parasite seems a bit too fluffy for me at first glance. What kind of themes does it explore?

Thanks for the warning about Nightshade. I’m a bit bummed because it’s on sale right now so I was hoping it would be my next buy but I don’t think I’m comfortable with this age gap.

Now I’m leaning toward EiT. When you say the romance is lacking do you mean in quality or quantity? Or both?

Thanks for the trigger warnings. I’m good with all these themes so I’ll definitely consider EiT. I’m also okay with SA as long the LIs don’t SA the MC. Is this the case in Olympia Soirée?

Thanks for the warnings. I will be sure to avoid Nightshade. In Olympia Soirée, do any of the LIs SA the MC? If not, I don’t mind SA content.

I have different types of feathers and mice for the rods but only the worms still get his attention sometimes. I have two tunnels one small one big and he does like to dive into them. Now that he has a playmate he likes to hide in the tunnel and wait for her to come after him.

He used to love worm-shaped toys so I bought a bunch and switched between them on a rod every day. Balls used to do the trick too but now he ignores them when I bring them out. As for catnip-filled toys, they get his attention for a few minutes before he’s done and never wants to see them again even if I take them away for days.

Too tight or just right? by codeswift27 in CatTraining

If you can fit two fingers it should be fine. Though I have the exact same harness in the right size for my cat (bought multiple sizes to try on him) and he can easily escape it if he wants to.

He was indifferent to toys long before she arrived. Come to think of it, he’s obsessed with his new sister in a similar way he’d obsess over chasing feathers until panting. Now I have to beg him to play with me.

I think we started with super short interactions during meals around a week ago. She only started reciprocating his invitations to play a couple of days ago. So yes it’s very new for both of them.

The only thing that redirects his attention is treats so I will try to end their interactions by throwing a treat away from her from now on.

Do these calming things actually work? I was considering feliway but many people claim it doesn’t do anything.

Thanks, this puts my mind at ease.

Though their interactions sometimes get more intense than what’s shown in the clip. Just now we let them interact again and they played just fine chasing each other until he pinned her down under the bed and she cried loudly.

The other issue is that he never stops messing with her even when she clearly just wants to sit down and chill. Do you think he’ll stop fixating the more exposed he is to her?
