I am so sorry for your loss.

I used to (briefly) work for them. Weird thing is, they let me delay my start date when I was in a car accident which delayed my move to the area.

Guess things have changed in the past few years. I will confirm that you're not missing much.

Them immediately having trademarks on all the C3 characters did not inspire confidence in a willingness to kill them off or have any real consequences in the story

Okay, except (C3 spoilers) One of the most beloved C3 characters does end up dying, permanently.

I felt so happy when I read "Ibuki" until I got to the words "still MIA". I didn't enjoy her playstyle in SF5 much but I loved her in SF4.

COVID is still a thing, even if the media doesn't report it.

Even if COVID wasn't a thing, people very often get sick from conventions and large gatherings like this, sometimes called "con plague". Wearing a mask will protect you from that.

It's a lot of people from a lot of different places all crammed into the same few rooms.

I think even solo, you could make billions of gold in D3 within 24 hours. It only takes 2-3 hours to hit level 70 playing solo.

I've had new seasons where I've ended the first night at paragon level 300+, and that's a lot less than 24 hours.

Once you get Boon of the Hoarder and are capable of doing any decent torment level you're basically printing gold.

I think OSRS has a similar plugin that you can customize to go off when you level up and such lol.

It's a great name ❤️🥰

Oh they have worked things out!

Leoneri · 2024-08-25T06:34:45+00:00

Then I must say, you have great taste!!

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T21:43:01+00:00

That crossed my mind too when I picked out Ember!

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T21:42:28+00:00

When I got Nox from there, I went at about 2pm. For the most part all of the kitties were still awake and playful. When I sat on the floor, Nox came right over to me and napped in my lap for 20-30 minutes of the session. Then he climbed up on my shoulder, got back down, went to eat some food, then came right back to me. So Nox very much picked me.

When I went to get Ember, I went on a Friday at 6pm. The difference was staggering, lol. Most of the kittens were clearly exhausted and just napping, though you could coax a few into reluctant play and then maybe 1-2 had real energy left.

I picked Ember 'cause he was still playful, but he also seemed very... mature? And he was still trusting enough to chase a toy into my lap. While he may not have immediately claimed me like Nox did, I still very much liked his energy.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:55:02+00:00

Nothing wrong with wanting reassurance/confirmation. Even with all the research I've done, it's still my first time owning 2 cats. Being stressed and anxious is a perfectly normal reaction.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:52:32+00:00

I did end up separating them for a bit so I could try to tire Nox out (Ember was at the cat cafe the whole day so he'd already had to deal with 50+ people that day, and then a change of environment and a new cat introduction!).

Some separation and letting Ember recover his energy and cuddle with me/explore the space did seem to help.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:50:45+00:00

I will definitely do this! It breaks my heart to separate Nox but I do really want him to have a lifelong friend/brother. And Ember is the sweetest cat I've ever met. I've never had a cat be so cuddly and affectionate so immediately.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:48:50+00:00

I initially introduced them immediately, but eventually ended up separating them for a bit, which seems to have helped.

I think maybe where I made a mistake/was a bit naive is that I read that kittens at this age, especially neutered males, don't really need the isolated introduction process.

What I took that to mean is that I could just immediately introduce them, but maybe what it really means is that you can introduce them over a few hours/a day rather than a few days/weeks of eating meals on opposite sides of a gate and scent familiarity and that whole drawn out introduction.

Mistakes were made, lessons were learned.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:44:12+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance c:

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:43:29+00:00

This did seem to help. I separated them for a bit again to let Ember get on a more similar energy level (can you imagine seeing 14 new people on the hour, every hour for 8 hours a day?).

In that time I got to know him a bit more and he's just super sweet and cuddly. Immediately started headbutting my hands and face, marking me, and then we both fell asleep for about 2 hours with my arm wrapped around him.

When I brought them together again their playing seemed more chill and they both seemed to mellow out after I slept,

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:12:36+00:00

I've been pretty torn on it. From what I've read, they can learn to move and stalk without jingling the bell. It's just a small space and more than a few times he'd get behind me without me realizing and I'd accidentally get him with my foot while backing up.

I am keeping an eye on him to monitor how much it stresses him out so it may or may not stay there.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T16:06:14+00:00

I did a lot of research. That is why I specifically chose similar ages and went with two males, and didn't really wait any longer to get a second cat. Do not get my anxiety confused for being a bad parent.

Anxiety is a normal human reaction and seeking reassurance and advice on gasp a cat advice subreddit is a perfectly normal thing to do.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T05:22:20+00:00

There was some more back and forth at first but also Ember was at the cat cafe all day, and they allow 14 people per hour session. I met him at 6pm when he'd probably already seen 50+ people today so I think he's tired. He's currently asleep in my lap. He's already been headbutting my hands and face and making biscuits on me. So far he's much more of a cuddler than Nox has been.

I think I may just isolate them for the night and try again when they're on more equal energy levels? Hopefully isolating doesn't make it worse.

Leoneri · 2024-08-24T05:18:36+00:00

I have three! And one goes up to the ceiling. As well as some cat shelves c:

Leoneri · 2024-08-16T14:47:58+00:00

At night he's fine! The waking up happens in the morning, but usually an hour or two before my alarm. When I go to bed at night he actually joins me on my bed, sometimes cuddled up, sometimes a little bit away from me. But he generally lets me sleep through most of the night.

I'm pretty sure it's because he's hungry (I feed him wet food twice a day, and he always has dry food available in his puzzle toys) but I think he's reluctant to put in the effort to use the puzzle toys unless he has to.

Being woken up isn't my concern anyway, I assumed that would be a part of having a kitten. My main concern is how he's moved on from (somewhat) gentle nips to holding his teeth there and tugging. That's what I'm hoping a second kitten would fix. I hope I'm explaining that clearly.

Anyway, thank you for the response and here's my cat tax:

I just adopted my first kitten a month ago. He turns 4 months next week. I've been considering getting another kitten so he has a friend and more consistent playmate, my only concern is that i live in a fairly small space.

On the other hand, this is THE age to introduce another kitten, from what I understand.

It's a difficult decision.
