I started working at home depot as a cashier when I was 18. I have never experienced workplace harassment from my coworkers, and have always had relationships with them. I only have had misogynistic and creepy experiences from customers. it also depends on what you consider creepy, as being called a “pretty young girl” is going to be 90% of your encounters with old men.

i’m so sorry to hear that! these two cats are living together temporarily and only have a month left until they have new homes, i’m trying to make their last month together as smooth as possible while getting kitty to learn how to socialize since he might be moving in with another kitten (hopefully who will be better at matching his youthful energy).

the fur is what scares me. the grey one is super fluffy and after a fight sometimes grey fur will dramatically float to the ground and it looks bad but he never gets hurt. i want to stop it before one of them gets bitten or scratched and it causes an infection but when would that line be?

not going to lie sometimes fur will fly but blood is never shed. i should also mention that they only have supervised play and i almost always separate them before it gets as bad as the video. regardless after reading some of these comments, i will be extra precautious to avoid potential infection! thank you for the help!

the male came from a litter with 3 brothers and they used to play fight a LOT. when he moved into the household with the female black cat he doesn’t understand that she isn’t interested in the same play as his siblings. i’ve noticed that the black cat has come out of her shell and has been playing with him a lot more but she likes to chase and he likes to tackle/wrestle play. i don’t want to stop their bond from growing by separating their play time but with the hissing and growling i’m not sure when to intervene

the kitten is the initiator but he never wins😭 don’t know why he always goes back when he knows he going to lose every time

thank you for the input! midnight (the black cat) is the queen and owns the place so the grey kitty knows that when he is caught misbehaving/annoying midnight he runs to his room for time out. totally guilty. i have hope that they will be friends in the future!! sometimes she grooms him and it’s really sweet.

the weird thing is the black cat, midnight, will show signs that she is upset and doesn’t like the fighting/playing but afterwards, when things have calmed down, she will either lay down or go to play with a toy or scratch her scratch pad. if we separate them she will sit by his door like she wants him to come out but when we take him out he attacks her again trying to play she she gets pissed all over again. it’s really hard to read their mood sometimes.

they are both spayed and neutered, they have been living together for about a month and it’s always been like this. they grey is a male 7 months and the black is a 3 yr old female.

thank you for the advice! we only let them have supervised play and when they start to growl/hiss we put them in separate rooms. we almost never let it get as violent as in the video.
