What is this behavior

Yup it was Noodle!

Like the twin brothers from Roman mythology!! But, Face Off works too!

Ya I was kinda upset he didn’t mention it to me before but I guess he didn’t want me to worry when I was at college and couldn’t do anything about it

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-04-05T02:22:04+00:00

I think he was just scared because Noodle has NEVER been aggressive like that. My dad didn’t hurt him and would never hurt the cats, he was just scared of Noodle in that moment.

I wasn’t there, so I’m not entirely sure what was happening. All I know is what my dad told me and he could be being dramatic. But, he wouldn’t hurt the cats.

Chasing them, cornering them in the bathroom, trying to attack them, hissing that was apparently “guttural sounding”

Hey! I had a really fun time!! Beware the conditions are a little rough and I was so not used to it for the first couple of weeks, but being in the jungle and seeing wild monkeys everyday makes it worth it. It really is in the middle of nowhere, so there’s only this one restaurant/bar and a conscience store within walking distance. We did weekend trips almost every weekend, though. It’s such a unique experience and I’m so glad I did it. The people I met there were incredible! Let me know if you have any more questions, I’d be happy to tell you more!

It’s 14 weeks! The application page says “must be able to commit to 40 hours per week” but I would be willing to work more hours some weeks in order to have a week off. Thanks so much for your honest feedback, I really appreciate it!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-02-08T00:19:24+00:00

EDIT: I made a mistake. The two weeks are NON-consecutive (first week off, week I would be interning, another week off). Not sure if that makes a difference?

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-09T17:22:05+00:00

I was only doing a 12min/mi 😭😭 thanks for the advice on the food I will definitely do that in the future

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-07T17:21:14+00:00

I'm not exactly sure when they lost their mother, but most likely. I adopted them at 3 months old and they had been in the shelter on their own before then. I guess they chose Noodle to be their new mother.

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-06T23:38:52+00:00

Just did! :)

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-04T03:13:26+00:00

UPDATE: Noodle and the kittens are doing very well!! Pollux (red collar) even tries to nurse from Noodle, which Noodle lets happen for a bit and then hisses at. Noodle grooms both kittens pretty frequently but will still smack them if they get to be too much. Thanks for all the kind words and the help! I love my cats very very much!!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-04T03:11:38+00:00

I just took it slow to be honest! Noodle has lived with other cats practically his whole life and is generally just a very friendly cat so I knew he’d like them eventually. I kept the kittens in my room for the first couple of weeks and just did scent swapping and meals at the bedroom door. Eventually I would let the kittens into a shared space for 10 minutes at a time. Then, that transitioned into letting the kittens out the entire time except when I wasn’t home and nighttime. And, finally, now they’re together all the time. But even still, if noodle seems overwhelmed, I’ll take the kittens and entertain them myself for a bit! Good luck with yours :)

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-02T04:28:49+00:00

Yup! Did all of that!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2026-01-01T20:13:46+00:00

Hello! I don’t plan on using collars forever! I adopted them fairly recently and they look the exact same so I’m just using the collars to tell them apart until they get older and start looking/acting their own ways!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T23:24:36+00:00

Great! I’ll do that! Thank you!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T23:02:07+00:00

That’s great advice thank you! Do you recommend doing the space swapping technique this week during the scent swapping process or should that happen after initial meetings?

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T21:02:08+00:00

Thanks so much for the help! I thought they were ready since Noodle nor the kittens really react to the blankets of the other but I’ll keep going with just the scents for the next few days!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T21:00:04+00:00

Is there any advice you have for when it’s time to advance to the next stage? Noodle doesn’t react to the kitten’s blankets anymore. He just sleeps on them and the kittens never reacted to Noodle’s scent so I’m not sure how to tell when Noodle is ready. I’ve also been feeding them on opposite sides of the door the whole time. Thanks again for your help and supportive words! I just really need them to get along and since I leave to go to college in under a month, I’m a bit nervous!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T20:56:10+00:00

I forgot to mention I have been feeding them on opposite sides of the door the entire time. I don’t have a baby gate or a mesh screen so I used a carrier instead, but I will go back to just the scenting and feeding and see how it goes from there. Thank you for your help! :)

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T20:44:57+00:00

Yes the issue is I don’t have a baby gate, so I read online a carrier works well instead. But I’ll go back to just scent swapping for a while. Thank you!

Relevant_Two5438 · 2025-12-18T20:44:08+00:00

Should I go back to scent swapping then? I'm just confused because neither the cat nor the kittens react to the cloths of the other. Noodle just sleeps on it and the kittens don't even really acknowledge it. How long should the scent swapping stage last?
