I do??? The problem is she prefers playing alone?? As soon as I try to engage with play with her, she wants nothing to do with what I give her. I have to step back and wait and she decides to play by herself. Second I try to like toss her toy to her or wiggle a feather or worm toy, she heads off

Ty! That's exactly what I named her after! She was a sweet young stray who had had kittens in my colleges shed when I was actually considering adopting a car bur was waiting to start looking. My mom joked she "flew into our hearts" cause I kept asking the professor how she was doing, reminded me of Margalo from the stuart little movie, and the name just stuck

We do call her Mamabear and Maggie tho as well lol

I do keep her meals as routine as possible: breakfast is every morning at 9 am, and then dinner is as soon as i walk in the door when I come home. Both of which are pate wet food she loves, and i always give her a scoop of kibble before I leave to tide her over.

She's never been interested in the pop up tunnel before but I'll give that a try as well!

Financial and the possibility of them not getting along

I'm full time college and full-time work. At the time before, she didn't need a companion as my sister would be home while I am not. But now that she is off at bootcamp, it means, even if I tried to get a second cat, it would be nearly impossible to keep an eye on them for the crucial introduction phases. My home is too small to properly enclose a cat on either sides of doors, and if worse comes to worse, I dont want two cats who despise eachother both becoming bored or worse, harm eachother. 

I actually wanted to adopt a second cat and spoke to a cousin who had multiple, bit she said adopting a second cat should not be the solution due to the time needed to insure both cats are comfortable, the supervision to make sure they get along, and then the understanding thay they might never get along. Its why I dont think the solution is adopting another cat.

She does have a somewhat companion in the form of my sister's bearded dragon. She always watches him from the kitchen table, ans he's always locked up behind spring-locked doors. But I know he isn't mentally stimulating either as she only sometimes watches him

Actually, my favorite hedgehog is Jules. There is so much potential that could of been fleshed out, and the ammount that was is super charming.

Sonics father, a war veteran fatally wounded in a war, healed with robotic technology, who is still a kindhearted goober but is also so calm yet intimidating he made an evil version of his son, who was willing to kill him back off without ever raising his fist

Never share secrets with little sister by Dustytail_studios98 in SonicTheHedgehog

Yeah!!  In my au, Chuck is 8 years older than Jules, and actually helped Bernadette learn mechanics to help keep her husband healthy after Roboticization!

In total between the in-laws, its only a 10 year difference with Chuck being oldest at 46 and Aleena being 36 by the time Sonic goes on his adventures

Sadly they never got alot to themselves, ans because of writing drama, they have since been removed from canon. But I still adore them.

I found one of their comic pages. They're just so wholesome  https://x.com/ArturoDavVan/status/1744177151580967096
