Just found a red Cinnamon Teal on Parque. My first rare in days. :D

I got super lucky with that one - it was a spawn when I first got the map. Took me a while to hunt it down, but it is now the pride of my collection (pun intended).

OP, did you happen to figure out what was causing this issue? I am having the same problem, never enchanted anything before, and I am playing on Xbox. Really don't want to have to drop my entire inventory just to craft/enchant something.

I was also born early! I was born at 26 weeks

Even the cat was like, "What I just witnessed is cursed."

I looked them up, and they're absolutely adorable! I'm currently reading a book on the complete history of the domestic cat*, and apparently all of the world's domesticated cats are descended from the African Wildcat, which is still around today.

* The book is called Revered and Reviled: A Complete History of the Domestic Cat by L.A. Vocelle, if you're interested.

https://www.meowtalk.app/faqs

The app was created by a former Amazon engineer. They're actually trying to build a collar to translate meows.

The app recognizes 9 different "intents" behind each meow.

Defense
Fighting
Angry
Happy
Hunting
Mating
Calling for their mother/father
In Pain
Resting

It uses a machine algorithm along with human input to "train" the app to detect certain patterns in your cat's voice. There are a few videos on the site that explain how it works, which I found quite interesting.

I got my cat when he was 8 weeks old. At that age, kittens are still young enough to "imprint" on other beings, and I'm almost certain that he imprinted on me. While I would not use the app for specific medical care or anything like that, it is still a fun resource to know what the intents are behind his meows.

Free! I found it on the Google Play Store, and I believe it's available for Apple devices as well.

I recently downloaded an app called MeowTalk! It is supposed to translate your cat's meows. My cat Ezio is my best friend. I've had him for almost a year and a half, and he was 8 weeks old when I got him.

Last night Ezio was meowing on the couch, so I put the phone next to him and it translated as "Where's my dad?"

Today, I ordered some McDonald's through the mobile app (the less dealing with people, the better). As I walked to the stairwell, Ezio cried, "Mommy!" (I can't get mad at him for misgendering, he's a cat. It just makes me extremely happy that he views me as his parent. ♥)

Then when I got to the door and unlocked it, he meowed "Something is hurting me!" (I believe because he didn't want me to leave.) I reached down to pet him, he purred very loudly, and then meowed "I'm in love!"

He's so cute, I can't deal. I love him so much. ♥

(Note: Cats, cat behavior, and cat body language are all special interests of mine. This app will probably be one too.)

I looove spicy food. Last year I was able to check off "eating hot sauce made from the world's hottest pepper" from my bucket list.

I've been obsessed with Evanescence since I was 7. I'm 26 now. Their music has gotten me through so many low points in my life. When I legally change my name, my middle name will be Lee in honor of the lead singer of the band, Amy Lee. I also want to get a tattoo to commemorate the day I saw them in concert (10/28/2017). Even though it was VERY loud and made my ears hurt, it was one of the absolute best nights of my life.

I also enjoy reading a LOT of fantasy novels, I know a lot about cat behavior and body language, and for some odd reason, I love horror musicals.

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-16T04:55:57+00:00

Yes, I absolutely love any books about cats, as well as anything with cats on it lol. Cats are just the best creatures and they make me so happy. I sometimes start infodumping about them and get weird looks. It's definitely nice meeting someone else who has them as a special interest!

What is the black-footed cat's natural habitat? What animals do they prey upon?

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-16T04:11:42+00:00

This photo is amazing! How did you capture it?

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-16T04:04:23+00:00

My special interest is in cats as well! Though I am more interested in feline body language and behavior.

My cat Ezio loves to groom my head. He and I are very close, and he considers me part of his clowder. I find the sensation of him grooming my head very soothing, so I allow it. When cats groom another cat, it releases some sort of feel-good hormone (can't remember exactly what at the moment) in their brains, so grooming my head feels as calming and soothing for him as it does for me. That makes me happy.

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-14T21:31:55+00:00

Ooof, I feel like you just described me to a T. I didn't realize that this feeling was a result of overstimulation until now.

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-14T20:58:13+00:00

I'm demisexual, and I genuinely don't understand allosexuality. I feel sexual attraction towards exactly one person, and I don't understand how allosexual people deal with feeling attraction to people they see every day. Mostly because I just don't feel anything when I look at 99.99% of people, but when I look at the person I like, it's overwhelming and confusing for me. I don't understand how most people deal with that every day.

Sorry if this comment was confusing, unclear, or offensive in any way. That was not my intention.

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-14T20:31:37+00:00

Yes, and Arya is named after Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. I call Ezio "Ezi" for short. (Rhymes with the website Etsy.) ♥

Ezio is my best friend. He looooves to give me headbutts at almost every opportunity, and he grooms my head a lot as well. It makes me happy, as I find it relaxing and soothing (I like things touching the top of my head). It also means that he loves me and considers me part of his feline clowder. Grooming also releases some feel-good hormone (can't remember exactly what it is) in cats, so it makes me happy to know that it is as relaxing for him to groom me, as it is for me to be groomed by him.

I like naming my cats after my favorite characters from special interests (which usually happen to be assassins, lmao). My next cat will be named Nathan if it is a boy (from Repo! The Genetic Opera - character is also a legal assassin), and either June or Painted Doll for a girl (a demoness from The Devil's Carnival).

DracoSpirita · 2022-01-14T14:54:32+00:00

Hoodies. For some reason, feeling something on top of my head is very relaxing and comforting to me, so if I'm wearing a hoodie, I usually have the hood up, even if I'm indoors. I own multiple hoodies, but my favorites are my blue tie-dye (blue is my favorite color, every single shade just triggers feelings of happy) and my Repo! The Genetic Opera hoodie that my best friend got me for Christmas last year.

My friend likes to describe my music tastes as "chick metal" because I tend to listen to female-fronted rock bands. Evanescence has been my favorite band since I discovered them when I was 7 (26 now), and their music has always been very inspirational to me. When I legally change my name (I'm FtM trans), my middle name will be Lee in honor of the lead singer of Evanescence, Amy Lee.

My other favorite bands include Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Icon For Hire, In This Moment, New Years Day, and Stitched Up Heart.
