5:35 am

MollyL

Just leave the time alone and let it do what it does naturally

12:15 pm

governess

i just started :-)

12:19 pm

hurshy

hello, governess. nice to meet you

12:21 pm

governess

you too. nice cat

12:25 pm

hurshy

ty, but she only LOOKS like a cat. she is actually an angel who happens to look like a cat.

12:26 pm

governess

can a cat be an angel? all of mine have been deviants.

12:27 pm

hurshy

for example last night when she didn't want me to catch her, she was about to run and hide behind my tv cabinet, which i can move but it's a pain. i said, "no no Rilla, don't go back there" and she froze where she was because she can't stand to do something naughty.

12:27 pm

hurshy

she never does naughty things, that was the reason i figured it out. cats do naughty things.

12:28 pm

hurshy

i conclude she is an angel who took on the form of a cat

12:28 pm

governess

i think you're right. no cat that i've ever tried to stop doing a thing has ever stopped, and most times make it worse

12:28 pm

governess

no, don't pee there...take off running leaving a line of pee

12:28 pm

hurshy

yeah

12:28 pm

hurshy

i have two regular cats also. Opie and Fritz.

12:29 pm

governess

tell them you don't want them to bring in live animals, the puke up dead ones

12:29 pm

hurshy

oh, well, mine don't go outside so i don't have THAT problem

12:29 pm

governess

good names.

12:29 pm

hurshy

thankee

12:30 pm

governess

i have no cats now. but the neighbor feeds many strays.

12:30 pm

hurshy

and TNR i hope...

12:30 pm

hurshy

if you feed without TNRing it's just irresponsible

12:31 pm

governess

TNR i think you mean some form of spay/neuter. she has not, though i have sugguested it.

12:31 pm

governess

but, i'm kind of afraid of her so i don't push things much

12:32 pm

hurshy

yes, Trap-Neuter-Return

12:32 pm

hurshy

yeah it can be hard with neighbors

12:32 pm

governess

homes are way too close to rock the boat. i have plans to move, but they take time

12:32 pm

hurshy

i did an activity in Kitten Lady's Cat-tivity book the other day which showed how one pair of intact cats can turn into 100 cats in under a year... sigh.

12:33 pm

governess

oh man, cat's are like mammal versions of covid then

12:34 pm

hurshy

yeah, but only rabbits have the rep, lol

12:34 pm

governess

and then gerbils

12:34 pm

governess

all i have is one aging neutered lab

12:34 pm

hurshy

have you met Scrabbler? she's a player here who keeps bunnies

12:35 pm

governess

i've seen her a little some mornings

12:46 pm

MollyL

4:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

The question is, why dont I play at home more often

5:08 pm

you're not home as much as would be ideal, so you play when you have downtime would be my guess.
