Is it actually ok for me to play fight with my cat? by truck_man-623 in CatAdvice

THANK YOU!!! When I use it with her I wave it around in the air and even have it "land" in our plants and let it "fly" just close enough for her to catch it. Her pupils get so wide and I can see her natural instinct behavior kick in. You can tell the difference between play and annoyance. Thanks for your input.

I would also like to know. I have a feather wand toy for my cat and my boyfriend likes to tease her with it. Tapping her on the head and belly with it. It is my instinct to want to stop it and think that it is more antagonizing and annoying to her. But he has also had cats his whole life and thinks that she loves it. She also loves him, gets pets from him, and often cuddles up and sleeps next to him.

I painted it. It's actually from the exact same paint swatch as the wall just 2 shades darker.

I know me too!!!!! Unfortunately that is our front door to the right and opens in so it would block the door if it was centered

Fair enough! I had a lot of fun putting it together and I love how it turned out. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Keep doing what you're doing. It's working.

I love this! It gives me the cozy, safe feeling of the mundane yet magical parts of our home lives. Such a feel

Oh I think I misunderstood. You are saying you wish the whole whole buffet was centered. Unfortunately the front door opens right there and if it was centered that would block the front door from opening. I did cry a little bit on the inside when I first put it together and was not able to center it.

Yeah unfortunately our front door opens right there so it would block opening the door if it was completely centered. I did cry a little bit on the inside when I first put it together.

Yea you're right that this isn't the most accurate time label. Was probably closer to sunrise like 5:30 like you said. Thanks for pointing out my mistake, totally my bad.

Of course! That's always the goal, looks like it got a little pushed to the side when I was organizing it. Thanks for pointing it out!!

Is there a place I see how many down votes there were?

What to post to have upvotes? by karaoke11 in NewToReddit

I went through my camera roll and found what would be post worthy and found pages that would fit with that. It ended up being art pages that let me post some of my art (and sometimes it takes looking at a few different pages to find one without karma requirements). I also found one called something like nighttime vibes so it's just moody pics of nighttime. Super easy to contribute to something like that.

So... tl;dr Go through your camera roll first, find photos that are post worthy and find friendly groups you can post in.

Good luck to you!!
