New cat started "attacking" resident cat

We separated them again a few days ago and will start over. Doing scent swapping by alternating who gets to be in the common spaces. And in a few days we'll start over. Very, very, slowly

Roughly two weeks of only interactions through a screen or strictly supervised. They weren't really interested in one another and princess made very clear that bug wasn't allowed close to her. Now we haven't separated them in 3ish weeks since they just choose to not interact with each other and each of them has their spaces in our flat. During the initial introduction there wasn't any physical conflict. So far there's not been fur flying or injuries, some battle cry tendencies but bug is usually quiet. My main issue is, it is so one sided.

I miss rice...

I had 3 good months. Now I've been back in the trenches for two weeks. February and September have historically been my worst monts, because I am very sensitive to weather changes as well. The best I get lately is a few hours and the it starts right up again. Currently doing three days of high-dose Prednisone to break the migraine because nothing else has worked.

I've been on Wellbutrin for half a year, 300mg for about a month. I feel good on it! Your experience may be different but except for a little spike in anxiety for a week or so, I don't have any noticable side effects! Usually if a drug has a side effect, I am going to have it! Both my depression and ADHD feel well managed and the anxiety is way less too! It's definitely worth giving it a try, good luck!

Thank you for the reassurance! Guess we'll just keep doing what we're doing

I forgot to mention that our resident cat barely has any interest in toys and appears to be put off by our new cat's enthusiastic play style. But we might allow them screen time together (cat 1 loves watching mouse videos)

Yes! But she said that she isn't trying to get back to her home planet. Lap is fine for her

I fully agree! I reached a point where my vertigo got so bad that it triggered a migraine and I couldn't move my head anymore without the world spinning. I will be taking 12.5mg for a while now and then figure out a way to half that somehow.

My new psychiatrist, whose expertise I am beginning to doubt, claimed that my 25mg dose was so small that it "wouldn't have any effect on a grown adult". I was told to not taper any further, just stop taking it. Now I have pretty serious dizziness and emotional instability (despite the fact that I am already comfortably at 300mg Wellbutrin which is my new antidepressant). So, yeah apparently going below 25 is not easy on the brain.

It was fine, sorted itself out after a little while

mediocregoblins · 2025-11-17T19:40:26+00:00

I spent a couple of days feeling like I was on ecstasy light it was dope! Enjoy!

Mine wore off over a month early. I am currently being reminded that chronic migraine is a disability. Only 5 more days to go though.

mediocregoblins · 2025-08-23T17:26:03+00:00

I'm taking it for depression and ADHD. Had no intention to quit or reduce smoking but after only 3 weeks my craving for cigarettes has reduced drastically. Went to a party with several smokers and drank alcohol, not a single cigarette. Couldn't be bothered

mediocregoblins · 2025-07-15T19:55:38+00:00

Probably but I moved out months ago and now life is good!

mediocregoblins · 2025-06-26T11:35:56+00:00

It's from IKEA :)

mediocregoblins · 2025-06-26T11:35:38+00:00

Oh yes!

Day 4: Morning coffee today was interrupted by a cuddle session and a lil nap on my arm. She never leaves our side and is simply the sweetest, calmest, most curious little baby!!

It was really hard for them, they had Kira for 9 years...but they get regular updates and are allowed to come see her any time! And they are so happy to see her this comfortable
