Literally trying to talk my cats out of a territory war — yes, really.

See, I’ve always been of the mind that cats and a lot of other types of animals are just as smart as humans. To a degree. Like there have been videos of people teaching cats how to tell time, cats will literally jump through hoops if you train them to, and there are times when I swear my cats speak perfect English. This is partially because I’ve done some research on reading cats’ body language. I’ve read books on the subject and have watched several documentaries.

If you want a layman’s introduction, I highly recommend looking up Jackson Galaxy on Youtube or watching his Animal Planet show My Cat From Hell. Jackson is a professional cat behavioralist and helps people figure out why a cat is unhappy and/or misbehaving. Heads up, though, his line of cat toys is complete garbage.

But like example—

Me: Tesla, you have to let me brush your fur.

Tesla: How about nah😶

Me: Tesla. You need your fur brushed.

Tesla: *Hisses and walks away*

Tesla is the newest member of our little family. She is an orange-and-white floof. Or if you want the more specific name, a flame-point ragdoll sausage cat. A sausage cat — also called munchkins — are built short and long with stubby legs and big paws. The name comes from their resemblance of dachshunds — AKA weiner dogs. But, personally, I feel Tesla bares more a resemblance to a corgi. I use the term sausage cat, a nickname for munchkins, because I think it sounds cuter than munchkin.

You can find a picture of Tesla and her sister in my bio.

But my older cat, Shuri, is kinda timid and Tesla has decided to take advantage of that, so that she can take over the living room and the kitchen. Cats can be extremely territorial if they don’t immediately love each other. Tesla and Shuri get along, but Shuri can get irritated because she doesn’t always want to play when her sister does. And they’re both lap cats and I’m just one dude. So that’s not helpful.

Basically, I’m sitting here trying to explain to baby Tesla that the living room and kitchen are shared spaces and she cannot banish her sister to the bedroom. And Tesla’s got her ears pushed back — this is a sign of unhappiness in cats — and her eyes are all big cause she knows I’m disappointed. And I can just see her going, “But Daddy….”

When you reprimand a cat it is EXTREMELY important to pet and kiss them afterwards in order to re-establish a sense of trust and safety. It lets them know that even though you were upset they are still safe in your presence and will help you maintain a happy, loving relationship with your cat.

And I want to make it clear that I am not angry at Tesla. But when Shuri is afraid to sit on the couch or eat in the kitchen that is an issue.

Now, if you don’t mind I’m gonna go play their anti-anxiety playlist and pray to Loki that these two chill the fuck out.

I’ve been training my cat 🐈‍⬛

This was training day number three!

By the end of this training session he went on the wheel & started walking on it by himself - that earned him an extra treat!! I wish I got THAT on video NEXT TIME 👏🏻

TLDR: I would call training my cat has been a success this far & and I am SO PROUD OF HIM ❤️🤗

So i go on walks with my cats through the woods sometimes. My 9 kitties would follow behind me in a line when i was young, it was very cute.

I didn't really train them to do this, they just liked me so much they'd follow me, i was one of the pack.

But i just realized today they probably follow me because i also follow them!

So if you want to train your cats to follow you i highly recommend whenever you see them, follow them. And i mean CLOSELY

Ya know those two cats who love each other so much they walk up against each other, tails intertwined? Yeah do that with your cat, mimic every step they take, pet them while you do it, and ask them to lead the way.

It teaches them the following game, so when YOU start leading the way, they follow your every move.

#my cats #cats #training cats #i just treat them like people and then they do what i say

Danny and (a recently revived) Jason move into an apartment together, they live right next to each other too.

The thing with this, however, is that the both of them?

They goddamn hate each other.

If murder was not illegal, they would genuinely kill each other. But since it is, they settle for the next best thing, just beating each other up on sight.

At least, until the landlord told them to not fight on their property and if they were to do it out of sight, so they don't scare away any more potential clients.

They've already scared away more than 10.

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #dcxdp #dc x dp crossover #You know that one comment that thought I was genuinely hating even though I put (This is just for dramatic effect) near the top of the post #Yea I'm still thinking about that and maybe the slightest bit salty over it #Doubt they'd ever see this though since it was resolved pretty fine in my opinion :D #but if you do see this #You know who you are #Anyways #Danny and Jason fight like feral cats in my opinion #Even though Jason is a highly trained fighter #Okay maybe Danny fights like the feral cat and Jason fights like a more refined version of that #Still feral tho

Some of y'all are clearly not teaching your cats what an appropriate level of bite force is.
