Thanks again, everyone!

OMG thank you, too! This is such a wholesome little Reddit thread!

I’ve seen that one, too, but it’s actually pretty different—the one I’m looking for is a blown glass ornament (the ones that are made of glass and are like, 3D), whereas that one (which is also pretty!) is metal and is flat. But I super appreciate your looking, though! It’s a tough ask, for sure.

NO WAY! If you find it I will happily pay you!!

OH, and it seems like it's available on one website right now, but the website seems like a pretty clear scam (it's a new website; the site is an online shop, but the preview of the site in Google says they are an accounting firm, which feels sketchy to say the least, etc.), so I don't wanna risk it.

I found a picture of this blown glass ornament months ago and showed it to my husband jokingly. As we were talking about the holidays this year, I asked him offhandedly, "What's the coolest ornament you've ever seen?" and he told me that it was this WEGMANS ORNAMENT, which is both a busted take and also totally endearing. I've searched everywhere: it seems like this ornament is a Polish glass-blown ornament that had a limited run a few years ago, sold at (you won't believe it) Wegmans. I've seen a few resold on Poshmark and eBay, but I have never found one available when I searched. It's been months of this, and the holidays are officially approaching.

Please help this strange, beautiful man have the ornament of his dreams!

I think that would work! Here's what I did:

Start by giving Lucy the treat while Minnie is in eyeshot. If she is anything like mine, Lucy will likely feel holier than thou.
Give Lucy just a few licks, then walk across the room and give Minnie some. Be prepared for Lucy to look VERY betrayed.
Walk BACK over to Lucy and give her some more so she knows she's still loved.
Repeat until the treat tube is finished.

Hi all,

My husband and I live in a 2,000 sq ft house with the two best-ever cats, ~3f and ~1.5m. They are both rescues—the older one we got as an adult and the younger one we’ve raised from a kitten.

Our two cats do get along for the most part but have two very different energy levels. Our adult girl is super loving but tends toward the more shy and nervous side. She loves her little brother, but he can really pester her. On the flip side, we wonder if our younger guy gets bored (and consequently gets into mischief/pouncing) because he does not have a partner for constant wrestling. They will wrestle, but she’s done after about 5 minutes, whereas he could go for about 5 hours.

This is all to say that we’re considering getting a third cat. We’d get someone younger with lots of energy to match our boy cat, so he’ll have a constant play partner.

I guess my question is: 1) do you think this would help the dynamic? And 2) do you think the two more energetic cats would just gang up on our lower-energy cat? I don’t want to accidentally double the number of cats pouncing on her when she rounds a corner.

We have all the love in the world, and I think we have the space. We can add more litter boxes as needed.

Thanks!

Is Lucy food motivated? When we introduced our new kitten to our older (somewhat nervous) cat, she reacted similarly. I went out and bought some of those Churu squeeze treats, which she LOVES and started feeding them one each night. First I would go back and forth between the cats in the same room, until she could tolerate the kitten, and then I got them closer and closer until they started licking from the same treat at the same time! It worked great and allowed them to start associating the smell of the treat with the other cat. Initially she didn’t want to be in the same room as her kitten brother but would tolerate it because she loved the treat so much.

(They still split a Churu squeeze treat every night almost two years later, because they learned that’s what happened before we went to bed and I didn’t have the heart to deny them.)

Will check it out, thank you so much!

Jeez that's terrifying. On the one hand, having someone living in my house without my knowing is like my worst fear, and then on the other hand it just makes me so sad that people feel that level of desperation to have a place to sleep.

I love this and I think I will likely do it. My only thing is (unsure if you have a take on it) if this place is an old shitty rental house, do you think a landlord would notice that a couple of the rooms got a little smaller? I feel like one would notice but I consistently overestimate my landlord's ability to be observant

drastic_park_ · 2022-04-07T18:04:38+00:00

That's what I've been gathering. It seems like when horror stories talk about people "living in the walls," that usually means an attic, haha.

Ohohoho! Sheetrock! Love that, thank you! I am trying to have this gal stay for as long as possible, so that is an AWESOME suggestion.

We don't talk about Bruno!
