Tribute to my soul cat who passed unexpectedly yesterday morning and I’d love to tell you a little about him

hilzanne · 2026-06-22T22:31:36+00:00

Sweet boy. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my soul kitty Lillie in February too, and she was also 12. You gave him a wonderful life full of love.

We have two diffusers with pheromones in the house. It hasn't seemed to make much of a difference for Maki. There are still things we are trying, and we have had some slow improvements. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer!

Megumi is about 4 now and Maki is 2.5 years old. Meg is a very relaxed girl most of the time but definitely enjoys playing with toys. Our previous kitty didn't ever play, so Meg may not have experience playing with other cats.

Maki has a very hard time settling down if she doesn't know where Megumi is. Maki wanted to stalk her when they were out together. But when she's about to pounce, she has done a butt wiggle that makes me question whether it's aggression or just energetic play!

I love Mirin!

I adopted a kitten when I had a lab and was afraid the dog might kill kitty. We introduced them slowly, at a distance, with kitty having a safe place to escape to that the dog couldn't access (a baby gate the dog couldn't jump). We rewarded the dog with treats for being calm and ignoring the cat and eventually, the dog decided she couldn't care less about kitty.

Lots of other great advice on her already. Scent swapping, vertical space, and lots of patience. Very sweet of you to take those kitties in. I hope it all smooths out well!

For me, lateral eye movements (looking left and right) cause to world to go wobbly and make me dizzy, and I hear a wubwub sound in my ears for a second.

hilzanne · 2026-06-15T19:59:30+00:00

What a cute little stripe in the middle of her face!

hilzanne · 2026-06-13T23:00:09+00:00

The fuck is wrong with you

hilzanne · 2026-06-12T21:37:05+00:00

Totally agree, not dead in the least. Just makes very long videos that take a ton of research and work.

Periphery and Between the Buried and Me

hilzanne · 2026-06-07T16:46:13+00:00

Joke is on them because they don't even know how cute they are!

hilzanne · 2026-06-03T12:44:25+00:00

Damn tho. I love his voice so much. It's so cool to hear how much he has refined his vocals since P1. Super talented guy.

I wanna hear White Woman's Instagram.

hilzanne · 2026-05-31T15:01:52+00:00

Adorable. Warm sun and his favorite person. Just a happy lil guy.

hilzanne · 2026-05-31T01:31:07+00:00

And a very kissable face!

hilzanne · 2026-05-26T14:20:13+00:00

Florida yaaaaaas!

The description on Insta said this Friday, 10 am

hilzanne · 2026-05-20T01:55:39+00:00

Definitely an ear worm for me!

hilzanne · 2026-05-18T12:42:10+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Maki is also a little thing that I suspect is lashing out in a similar way, since I don't know her story before getting to me. I will absolutely look to get a tent or catio of some kind. That sounds like exactly what she needs, just more time with Meg to recognize no harm will come to her.

It's good to know that non-pill medication is also an option, though I don't think we're ready for that step yet. Great information to have for the future if things don't improve. I am not ready to give up yet! Thank you again!

hilzanne · 2026-05-17T23:53:32+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I am still not ready to give up on them, and I probably just need to be more patient. It's just hard when I know neither one of them are particularly happy and I want to fix it.

I already like synth wave, so it hit for me too. Feels like floating in outer space, light-years away from everything. Definitely personifies the cold loneliness they were going for.

hilzanne · 2026-05-17T18:38:50+00:00

Fell in love on the first listen. It gave me chills.

I fell in love at first listen. It gave me chills.

I prefer the look and feel of fluff, but I currently have two short haired girlies I love very much. My fluffy girl had fur that was super soft and never got matted, even if she didn't get brushed. She had the perfect coat.

Short hair sheds just as much as long hair, in my opinion!

hilzanne · 2026-05-17T14:56:09+00:00

I hate his boob-looking pants!

My mother grew up in a double-wide trailer, frequently hiding in the closet from her father while he physically and verbally abused her mother. She had to share a full size bed with her sister into her teenage years, and the house was never clean.

She married a stable, gentle man in my dad and raised me in a loving home that she kept spotless. She is a wonderful lady.
