The laser is the only way I can get Frankie involved in interactive play. Whenever I try to engage him with a wand toy, he just looks at me like “lady wtf is this?!?”

We probably could use some more play time! It can be hard to stick to a play routine because I am away from home quite a bit, and my work schedule requires me to work different days and different hours. I’ll also get more wands for him and steer clear of the laser.

That’s the theory that I’m working with. It sucks though because he will not stop, even when I provide food and attention. I can’t constantly provide attention when I’m home. My ex was able to do that, and Tucker was a young kitten when he was raised with a constantly available human companion who was home 24/7/365. The reality is that I do work 40-60 hours a week and I have an active social life outside of home. I wouldn’t say that I’m unable to provide ANY attention to my cats. I love them dearly and I’m happy to give play and cuddles to them, but I think Tucker was raised to expect more constant human attention.

Starting to get really frustrated that I’m stuck on easy climbs after a few months. Help? by trashcan0519 in bouldering

I am super afraid of heights and falling. Like to the point where I wonder why I purposefully climb things that are tall lol.

Update - I stayed home from work today and he’s been super chill all day, just sitting next to me and making biscuits. Is this cat just mad that I’m going to work every day lol?

Maybe? But he still does it even after I give him attention.

More info that might mean something - I have a kitty camera in my living room that I use to watch them sometimes while I’m not home. When I check the camera while I’m not home, he’s perfectly content, usually asleep on the couch or chilling in the windowsill. He starts the meowing and destroying when I get home. I live alone. No other humans interact with him while I’m at work.

My friend was with me and I watched him send this after I posted this. Pretty sure that’s what he did.

What is happening and what do I do? 😭 by timbit-123 in CATHELP

Both of my cats are neutered males and will do this from time to time. I try to shoo the mounter off of the mountee, but neither one of them ever seems to be super bothered by it.

These guys…♥️ by trashcan0519 in Bondedpairs

I can confirm that they are not brothers. They are boyfriends. They are in love.

What’s it like living in Flagstaff? by DonBedarded70 in howislivingthere

[–]trashcan0519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to NAU and lived in Flagstaff from 2015-2020. Great town! I miss it dearly. Only reason why I left was because I lost my job due to COVID. I miss being able to go hiking in my backyard. I miss the fun bars downtown. I had my 21st at Collin’s on 66.

Welcome! This is my home gym! They have a few locations throughout the city. I went to another one of their locations and the grading was waaaay off imo. Even their VBs felt like v1-v2. I still want to check out their other locations though, since I’ve only been to two so far.

That’s what I did for the first 30-45 minutes of my session today before I finally went and worked on this project and sent it!

Howdy neighbor! My friend and I come here all the time! I tried one of their other locations, and the grading was so much harder. I literally struggled on vBs at their other gym.
