The people wish to know if u also have alpha jean hcs to share 🥸
WELL YES!!!!
one alpha jean hc that is always a given to me, is that he, of course, was never allowed to show or indulge in his alpha instincts in the nest and was forced to submit (which parallels to his actual canon story and what makes the most sense i think)
going back to alpha x alpha catalaila, i think the two of them are jean's greatest examples of what an alpha should be and he respects and admires them a lot (along with maybe rhemann 👉👈)(also another banger from @anxiouslyandmessily and i)
i think jean is really sensitive to scents and becomes extremely in tune with jeremy's and the rest of his pack
also with the scent thing, i think when jeremy's in pre-heat jean turns into edward from twilight when they're in biology class LMFAOO sorry i know the omegaverse is werewolf adjacent, but i think that man is breathing through his mouth lest he do something stupid
okay also idk how popular glowing eyes are with some omegaverse lovers, but i want jean to have glowing red eyes 😣😣😣 jean hating the color but jeremy reassuring him on how beautiful they are 😣😣😣 CAN ANYONE HEAR ME
when he's in a rut, jean barely talks and does a lot of growling and unintelligible sounds and it alwayssss amuses jeremy
For your consideration: Loki casually watching the summer thunderstorm outside like the Cool Guy he is vs when he hears my mum opening a can of food for his brother (he himself last ate precisely 5 minutes ago)
As Loki's official cattorney, he would like to sue you for defamation and spreading disgusting lies because he has not, in fact, eaten in approximately 6 years.
My boyfriend and I have two cats we raised from kittens until now, they are 4 years old female 'S' and male 'O'. From the same litter too. My boyfriends brother moved in with us to get himself back on his feet and he brought his own 6 yr old female cat 'M'. M has been in her own room away from both S and O with the door shut for about a month. I successfully got O to eat on the other side of the door at the same time as M for a week, but not S. We put up a large piece of plexiglass so they could see eachother while they eat, and O was fine until he wasn't. We put all of their food upstairs so they would have to be around M, but they won't go upstairs. I picked up S and brought her upstairs to show her where the food is, and she saw M and got on edge. O came up the stairs and attacked S, and now O is being a bully to S for some reason. He now will lock eyes with S and go after her (he is bigger than her and they both have their claws). I plugged in a feliway upstairs to hopefully mitigate things, but what do I do? I want all three cats to get along ultimately, but why is the introduction of the third cat causing my original two to become enemies?
Obligatory "I'm not a vet, just a person on the internet with cats who really loves cats" but here's my thoughts on this situation!
O attacking S when you placed her upstairs in front of the plexiglass/room with M:
This might very well be a case of redirected aggression/displaced aggression, it's quite a common thing in cats where if a cat can't interact with a trigger that is causing him stress, he'll redirect that aggression to the nearest person/animal/thing. In this case it seems like M being a new addition to the house is still stressful to O but because he can't interact with her due to the plexiglass (a great thing you've implemented, by the way!), he's redirecting that aggression towards S instead.
On the attacks:
The first thing to do here is assess whether O being a bully to S is actually aggressive behaviour or more on the play side, cause a lot of times cats playing with each other can definitely look aggressive if you're not used to it.
So look out for the following in either O and S when the "bullying" is happening (remembering that the interaction can be differently interpreted by either cat, so it could be a situation in which one cat thinks they're playing while the other is actually being aggressive):
Are they making any noise? Cat play is usually very silent, if either cat is meowing, hissing, or screeching, that's usually a good indication that it's not play but aggression.
Are the tails puffed? Sometimes tails get puffed after a long play session, but if an attack starts and either of cats presents a puffed tail immediately, that's usually a sign the cat is scared and therefore it isn't regular playtime.
Are the cats taking turns? Is O always the chaser/aggressor, or does S also run after him, pester him to chase her and run away? Cats playing will very often take turns attacking each other in a "I chase you, now you chase me, I annoy you into chasing me, now you annoy me into attacking you". If O is always attacking and S always running away, it's probably aggression.
Assuming the answer to all these questions is that these interactions are not regular playtime between the two cats, and assuming that it only happens when M is also present (behing the plexiglass), here's my two suggestions for what to do:
Play Time: redirect the aggression into play time. Bring both cats upstairs and play with them with toys until they are too tired to play. You will however need someone in the room with M playing with her too. The goal is to get all the cats to associate being all together with good things (aka play time with humans) and to get them so absorbed in the play that they forget that there is an "intruder". Eventually you can open the door and play together with all three cats once they all are more at ease around her, but I recommend waiting for this step until they can all eat in sight of each other and the aggression from O stops.
Scent Swapping: the plexiglass is genuinely a great step, but it might be preventing the cats from smelling one another. Get them more used to each other's scents by swapping toys (bring O and S's toys into M's room and vice versa), or by swapping things that the cats spend a lot of time with, for example a blanket etc., and then swap back. In a pinch you can rub a towel on O and S, and one on M and then swap those. Eventually, swap places: being careful not to let them interact, being O and S into M's closed room and bring M to a room of the house that the two kitties usually spend a lot of time in, letting the sets of cats explore the place and sniff all the smells.
Also to note: if O's aggression on S continues, do these above steps individually for each cat instead of by grouping O and S together. For example, you can bring O upstairs and keep S downstairs, play with O while someone plays with M behind the door. After that session is over, repeat the step but with only S upstairs and O downstairs. Same thing for scent swapping. At the end of the day, even though O and S are siblings and good friends, they might take different lengths of time to acclimatise to the idea of a new cat.
I think that's all that I can think of! I really hope this was useful anon, and best of luck with integrating M into your kitty household!
I may be some eldritch horror monstrosity but you don’t need to summon me like others. You can just use the good ol summoning circle! No chants required~ /notfreaky
I need to ask you if you know about Cat Loki? In the comic Marvel's Meow (I just found this out), Loki literally turns into a white cat with his signature headpiece on him and lives the cat life. This man literally fights other cats to steal attention from their humans and snacks ><
I'm aware of Lokitty but not Cat Loki™️ -just looked him up, very cute! I have a cat and he's a right arsehole. Not in a cute ha-ha oh, mischievous scamp way but like the bane of my life. Yes, I love him but he doesn't make it easy and I just...my Loki would never inflict such rudeness and underhanded shenanigans.
Hi, you said you liked asks, so here's one for you: who is that still-standing competitor for whom you root the most, despite not knowing the source material? (As in you haven't consumed it, not haven't heard about it.)
And what do you like about them? Did the propaganda convinced you?
EASILY FINDUS
I've never seen the little guy before but y'all have been campaigning for him so hard since round one I'm now rooting for him (and apparently so do a lot of other people, so well done!)
He's just this little guy 🥺🥺 he's baby 🥺🥺 he's the fun and chaotic enfp type of character I love 🥺🥺 so yeah the power of propaganda really shows up here for me!
