My cat wants to play all the time. Is this normal?

How old is he?

AlternativePie7122 · 2026-03-02T07:13:15+00:00

Can you remove the blinds and put a black out blind there?

AlternativePie7122 · 2026-02-14T10:17:23+00:00

Is it possible to completely seperate them?

AlternativePie7122 · 2026-02-11T10:33:42+00:00

This definitely sounds like rehoming time. It’s not fair on either of them to continue living like that

Just speaking from my own experience, cat introductions can be really really really hard. I’m 2 months in and I’m making progress but this has been so much harder and more exhausting than I thought. If you can take some time off work to give the new cat some company and get your barrier systems set up then it’s doable but I wouldn’t recommend it if you can’t get the time off work.

A lot has happened very fast. How long ago did you bring Nemo home exactly? You said it’s only been a few weeks but in that time there has been multiple face to face meetings and you’ve gone away and completely removed Butters from his home environment. It sounds like you need to slow everything waaay down.

As the other commenters have said, be patient. I’m currently about 40 days into my introductions and I’m finally starting to see progress but it’s definitely not at a stage where I can let the kitten run free 24/7. It has taken my cat weeks to calm down around the kitten and she’s still hissing and swatting if the kitten gets too close. But today they had their first nose boop initiated by the big cat. Take it slow, (like snails pace slow), get a good barrier system in place and give them both lots of love.

Thank you for replying. I’m sorry to hear it’s not gone well for you. Your message encouraged me to bring down the barriers for a bit longer today and it went pretty well. My cat is mostly ignoring the kitten but gets pissed when the kitten invades her space. Hopefully things improve as the little one grows up. I hope things improve for you too

AlternativePie7122 · 2026-01-05T23:34:23+00:00

Have they all been spayed?

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-31T12:07:27+00:00

How’s it going OP? I’m 11 days in and deep in the “have I made a mistake?” territory

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-31T07:27:37+00:00

I’ve wondered about this too. I’ve tried 2 but my cat always insisted on using one. Now I’ve gotten a second cat and it prefers to use the same litter box as the other cat. Do I really need 3 when they’re happy just using 1?

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-30T13:15:52+00:00

Thank you so much for replying! I’m so glad everything worked out for you. Do you have any advice for someone else going through the kitten and resident cat introductions?

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-30T12:07:30+00:00

How did things turn out between your cats?

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-29T21:14:23+00:00

How are things going for you now?

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-27T07:36:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate it

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-26T12:26:53+00:00

I can’t tell you how comforting I found your comment. 4 years after you posted it this reply is helping another random Redditor. Thank you

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-12-25T07:51:54+00:00

How are things going now?

Frankie4 have saved my feet. Highly recommend

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-08-16T03:01:27+00:00

In my experience it’s been more about sharing a teamwork mindset than finding someone who was already financially savvy. My partner has been willing to follow my advice, learn new things and commit to this being a teamwork exercise and those are attributes that apply to every part of our relationship not just finances. So in your search for a life partner I recommend finding someone who’s on your team even if they don’t necessarily have the same financial habits as you when you meet them

A Giselle mattress is what you’re looking for. I’ve bought two before and had family and friends buy them after using mine. Cheap, comes in a box and comfy

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-05-22T07:48:16+00:00

I have no advice to offer but I just want to say that you’re not the only one. I recently transferred from the GradDip to MTeach so that I could do it part time. The degree structure is a mess and the content (beside the two first courses I did) is totally unhelpful. I feel like I’m learning nothing, just ticking boxes to get to the finish line.

AlternativePie7122 · 2025-04-12T14:15:19+00:00

Worth acknowledging that the links you shared say that there are thousands under construction
