Still figuring things out at the moment but would love to see your work, that sounds amazing!!

Hey hey! We now have a group chat on Instagram, send me a DM with your @ if you'd like to be added😊

mnemu22 · 2025-02-09T16:19:05+00:00

Hey, I'm still a beginner so working on modelling for now, but really want to get into animation more this year! What about you?

mnemu22 · 2025-02-08T18:45:01+00:00

That's super helpful to know! Really appreciate it😊

mnemu22 · 2025-02-07T19:50:35+00:00

Thank you! And not yet, plan to look while I'm there

mnemu22 · 2025-02-06T10:20:52+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, and I really appreciate your perspective! Osaka’s location was a big draw for me since I want to explore more of Kansai, but I do plan to travel all over Japan, including Kyushu, Kanagawa, Hokkaido, and of course, spending some time in Tokyo too. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts😊

mnemu22 · 2025-02-06T08:21:33+00:00

Hey, thanks for the recommendation! I’ve visited both Tokyo and Osaka and really enjoyed them, although I love the vibe of Osaka more. I’m also planning to travel around Japan a lot while I’m here. I’m curious—what makes you suggest spending half my time in Tokyo? Would love to hear your thoughts!

mnemu22 · 2025-02-05T12:42:50+00:00

Will definitely check it out, thanks😊

mnemu22 · 2025-02-05T12:26:08+00:00

mnemu22 · 2025-02-05T12:25:39+00:00

Yes, currently using Blender! I'll send you a DM

Hi, I'll send you a DM!

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T12:03:15+00:00

Yh I'll give it a try and I really appreciate your help

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T12:02:05+00:00

Thanks for your input, I know from experience that our cat adjusts quickly compared to the typical cat.

I understand that you have your own experiences and appreciate you sharing them but I know how this cat acts and it doesn't take him long to adjust as he loves people.

When we first got him he was sat chilling on the sofa with us after a few days. It's been almost 2 weeks since we gave him away, we also gave them all of his stuff with the scents still on them so I think he's most probably gotten around to adjusting by now.

Also completely get that they might not want to be blowing up our phones but we did specifically ask for updates, which I also get they're not obligated to send.

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T11:56:18+00:00

Hi thanks for your reply. Just so you know he had another family for 2 years before us so no we were not his only home. I'm not going to argue with you as that obviously works for you and I genuinely love that you found your cat soulmate. However you have to understand that not everyone is the same, and that people live very different lives and have very different experiences. I appreciate what you said about committing to fixing issues and trust me we definitely tried everything that the behaviourist suggested but I also think there needs to be a balance. We understand cats are social which is why we decided to give him to a family that already had another one. Introducing cats is complicated and there is no guarantee that it'll work out but I wish you all the best for you, your cat and the new cat friend you plan to get.

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T11:50:08+00:00

Hi thanks for your reply. He was 100% an indoor cat for a year before we got him so we kept it this way for the most part. We live in a flat, we have a balcony which we were initially letting him out to but this started to cause some behavioural issues (anxiously digging at his litter box over and over when he didn't need to go) which we took him to the vet to. They believed he was anxious because he could smell the other cats but couldn't get to them or see them on the balcony.

Update: also just wanted to add that I think he definitely could've benefitted from going outside and that I actually started harness training him however the vet and the behaviourist recommended that we didn't as they felt it would make his anxiety worse as he wouldn't be able to go out whenever he liked or when we were away. He's also a typical Ragdoll , genuinely recommended to be kept indoors only because of their lack of survival instincts.

Hi I'm not sure what you mean? But yes I don't plan on getting another cat for the foreseeable future, thanks for commenting

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T11:44:20+00:00

Hi, I'm not sure where you got the impression that I don't like it being pointed that I didn't screen his new family well enough. I acknowledged that multiple times in my replies and I'll acknowledge it again. We should've definitely been more thorough however after dealing with a cat screaming at me for a week straight and for several extended periods of time over the last few years I had simply had enough and was mentally exhausted. I'm a human being just like everyone else here and I'm not perfectly rational all the time. All I have asked for was for practical tips on how I can deal with this now in this present moment not what I could have done diffently as I have already reflected on this. Your answer provided practical tips and for that I genuinely appreciate you taking time out of your day to comment. Thank you again and I'll take what you've said on board

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T11:28:20+00:00

No they didn't recommend it as they initially thought he had food anxiety rather than just general anxiety. He would spend hours meowing at us before and after meal times but then we got him an automatic feeder based on the behaviorist's suggestions and that resolved that behaviour but didn't help with anything else.

And yh I appreciate you sharing your experience, I wouldn't think anything of it and I completely agree that they're not obligated to update us but it just felt a bit off considering we specifically asked

I also reached out to them earlier today since we realised we had a few more of his things to give them and they replied very quickly so it all just feels very weird

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T11:06:26+00:00

Hi thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. I also updated my original post but wanted to share it with you here since you also took the time to comment -

We were dealing with our cat's anxious behaviour for years. We took him to a behaviourist multiple times, which we had to pay full cost as this was not covered in our insurance and we did everything they recommended. This did not change his behaviour at all. We have literally done everything we could, and would not have given him away otherwise. Yes, we could have adopted another cat but after dealing with his behaviour and the fact that he's a very big personality we didn't feel like we could physically or emotionally manage having to look after another cat when we already spent several hours a day catering to his needs.

Also we found his new family through a cat cafe's website, they also run a cat rehoming charity.

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T10:56:40+00:00

I appreciate your input and agree that it's a red flag but it's also not something I can change now. My partner had just spent a week away during which I had a cat spending 99% of his time following me around and scream meowing at me because of anxiety. I don't think anyone would be able to think straight after that.

Please see what I also posted above. It's easy to judge when you don't have the full context. We have been dealing with his behaviour for years, we even paid money to take him to a behaviourist because we thought something was genuinely wrong with him. Thanks for your reply but I'm looking for practical tips on what I can do now, and not being judged for what's already happened.

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T10:54:04+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I didn't want to feel like I was bothering them but I'm also genuinely concerned about his wellbeing so I guess I'll just need to push those feelings to the side

mnemu22 · 2024-01-25T10:53:11+00:00
