#cygnus cat

Please enjoy this shitty cell phone image of my cat being a solid block

And here is an example of them getting along better- mutually sniffing my ugly limited edition Breyer sheep that smelled weird fresh out of the box. Hobbies really do bring everyone together.

This week in dog: we are still learning how to politely interact with the cat. We're failing in this image, because he wouldn't help us play with our crab (bottom left). I had her get off the bed before Cygnus took a swing at her.

Hiyori's prey drive and natural inclination towards rough play definitely make it hard for her to get along with the cat. She's really been struggling to leave him alone the last few weeks, but has started showing enough restraint to sit quietly with him or just lick his ears again, finally. I suspect this one step forwards, two steps back pattern will be continuous until she's an adult. The good news is, Cygnus is stupid and forgiving, and wants to be her friend still despite all her mistakes, even a few bad ones that scared him. I wish he was a little smarter though; she'd have an easier time ignoring him if he didn't sit right where she can run up to him. And then not move from that spot. After repeatedly getting jumped by 30 lbs of Shikoku.

Needless to say they aren't together unsupervised.

Been a long time since I posted any OG content but today seemed like a good one. Happy Halloween from me & Cygnus & Mime!

Good morning, beasts.
