IF Homelander S/O was also a supe but their powers was something that wasn't very heroic. I can't really think of something specifically but like something that Homelander would usually laugh at as d - list tier supe, do you think he would see that as a weakness? And no longer be interested?
Homelander has shown interest in supes and humans alike, but he definitely has a preference for supes. in his mind, even the weakest supe would still have an advantage over a human.
he does this funny thing when he experiences attraction where he pedestals people. his attraction, however it comes about, inherently elevates them, so things that would normally bother him suddenly are given a pass.
would he still be shitty about it if he thought it would affect his image? .... yeah. he'd probably lowkey insist on keeping their powers under wraps from the public. but honestly, once Homelander is invested, there are very few things that seem to dissuade him.

Short Story - Your God Is the Devil. By Atlmaryj
The anger that was coming from His voice, was beyond comprehension, Michelle knew that His wrath was destructive, but to stand in His presence and be the object of it, brought a level of fear she had never experienced. Her fear had her body shaking uncontrollably, should she scream as loudly as He, or would that be putting her in more danger. What was she to do? Who was she to seek help from? Michelle instinctively began to pray. She sought saving and for the anguish to come to an end. And then it happened, it was the silence she had longed for, her prayer worked! She could now catch her breath, dry her tears and regain her composure. She now had the courage to look up at His face and she begins to think, "If He does it again, I will pray as I did before". He says, "You can do what you like, but I stopped to show you that I hear all of them". Realizing what she did, she falls to her knees. She has just prayed to the Man that she is seeking to be saved from; God.
Is this the God she had dedicated her entire life to or was it a dream? This had to be a dream, because there is no way that this was reality. She was on her knees crying harder than when her child was killed, and feeling the same amount of unease that she felt when she was assaulted years ago. How could one compare the worst moments in their life, to the moment of being in the presence of the True and Living God?
She decides to stand up and face Him, listen to Him and hear His words to her. After all she was the one that initiated the conversation, having expressed her disdain for some of the people she saw in Heaven. What did she expect His reaction to be; she was essentially questioning his judgment. “I have insulted Him” she thought, and this punishment is deserving. With her face now clear of tears, and her breathing beginning to slow down, she hangs her head out of respect but mostly out of shame.
“Do you desire to reject the gift, that I have presented you?”, God says. “Father, I know that I must accept all of your gifts and I would never even desire to deny, however I am not understanding why these people that have gone against your laws and hurt my family are allowed to walk amongst the righteous”, she says with her voice quivering. “My child, I have Mercy on the souls that seek to change their ways and work to prove they are worthy. You have taken many missteps in your life and I was merciful to you each and every time. So what makes them any different?” “Is he serious?”, she thought, “Yes, I am my child, all that I do and say is genuine”, says God. Michelle’s courage begins to increase and she is not aware of it until after she speaks. “What do you mean, what makes them any different?” in a tone that would be expected from a rebellious teenager to their parent. “I have dedicated my entire life to you, worshiped you, tithed as I was told, thought good thoughts, never questioned you or your decisions, prayed and fasted regularly, spread your word and because of that I was rewarded with paradise.”
She continues on her tirade, “However, this man raped me in my home, with my children in the next room. These other men, killed my son after robbing him of $50 and a watch, which was just one of many crimes they had committed throughout their lives. So, what makes me different from them? A lot my dear God. A lot.” Michelle now realizes that she has just furthermore disrespected the Lord, but surprisingly she felt justified. After saying it out loud, her approach felt legitimized and her fear began to dissipate. Whatever happens after this point, so it is and she will accept it wholeheartedly.
God was quiet, and Michelle had no idea why, did He now understand her position? The silence was awkward but she relished in it, especially after all of the yelling and anger she experienced earlier. She begins to look around, afraid to look back at Him. She was taking in the beauty of the crisp white clouds and the piercing blue sky. A minute or so passed, but it seemed like an eternity, and then He began to speak. “My darling child, I was there when your son was killed and I was there when you were violated, so I know and felt your pain. But they are my children no less, and if they are willing to change for Me, then I must honor my word and allow them the paradise that is promised to all of those that work to be a good child of Mine.”.
Michelle’s feelings were hurt beyond belief, because she had lived her life with the thoughts that the devil was present during those times of strife and that God could not have been there to allow such pain. But she now hears that He was there, He felt their pain, He gave permission to these acts of violence. Why? How could He? “You allowed these men to rape me? You allowed my son to be shot? You allowed me to lose my child over bullshit and now you are making me live with the monsters that perpetrated these crimes? You broke me in order to accomplish what exactly? Did you do it to make me stronger? And what was I becoming stronger for? Nothing else occurred in my life after those events that called on me needing that much strength? What about my other kids, you made them witness my violation for what purpose? So, one could become a drug addict and the other could have anger issues, which lands them both in jail often?” she says sarcastically.
She knows that she has gone to the point of no return and her being dead means He surely cannot take her life. So, she waits for His words, His lesson, His story, all without fearing the method in which He will decide to deliver it. God remains calm and says “Those men made the choice to commit those crimes, as everyone is given free will. At what point will people realize, that individuals are responsible for their own thoughts?” Without missing a beat Michelle responded“You give many instructions, affirmations and advice, yet you cannot deter those that want to hurt others, with thoughts to do otherwise? If nothing happens but without your permission, how am I to believe that you did not allow these moments too occur? Maybe my life’s dedication to you, was not the way to go. I did all the right things, or tried to at least! And to come here, be ecstatic that the dedication paid off, only to see that a person’s last minute dedication is recognized just as much as a person’s lifetime servitude, angers me, disturbs me, and disappoints me. To have to live with men and women responsible for crimes, that I would not even be able to think about in my normal life shows me that this is not a Heaven. It is just a place for the dead to go, and the misrepresentation that is given in the Church is sad. I love and respect you, though it may not seem like it, but this is not the place for me. I humbly decline this as being my eternal home, I would rather fall endlessly for eternity than to be in this so-called paradise. So, I ask if there is there another place for me to go? Of course I do not desire Hell but if that is where you decide to send me, I am your child and I will obey.” Michelle then lets out a sigh of great pain.
She was now mentally tired, was this the God she worshiped or is what she was taught in Church wrong? Did she misread or just not understand the Bible? Or is it even the real word of God? How could the God she loves with all of her being, calm her spirit and ease her mind? How was He going to make her understand His way? She now felt lost and betrayed, Michelle could never have imagined that she could feel this way about her Lord. Her thoughts were all over the place when God said “You have always felt this way about Me. Your devotion was not real, your “love” was used to cover up your true feelings. You feared that if your true feelings towards me, were truly known, it would make you an outcast amongst your friends and family.” He continues “And yes, I do know the road that each of you will take, but I do not condone acts by way of non-deterrence. It is man’s decision and my allowance comes from giving free will to each and every one of you. See, you all believe that when one dies by the hand of another, that I was the one to call them home but in reality it was man that rushed you to your end or through you not caring for the body that I have provided to you.
Michelle believed that did not explain why amongst these righteous people, there lived those that may have brought them there in the first place. How does one make peace with knowing that at any moment the man or woman that killed them, may at some point be standing next to them in Heaven? This doesn’t seem to be getting addressed, and she is quickly running out of patience. “God”she says, “I am ready to leave Sir. I hear all that you have said and a part of me understands but there are many questions and not enough answers for me. Based on this experience, I believe that I do not know you at all, and maybe that is best. So once again, I ask that I be placed elsewhere without prejudice. I know this may be a difficult task, considering my approach and the anger I have demonstrated. So, I will wait for your answer Lord.” Once again she hangs her head, and thinks about how much courage it took to do what she has just done. But she was not backing down and unwilling to hear anymore. She waits patiently for a response “You will remain here. You are in the appropriate place, for the life that you have lead. In fact there is no other place for me to send you, as…” and in mid-sentence Michelle interrupts him and says loudly “This is why Heaven is overrun with degenerates! If these bastards are here, then who lives in Hell?” He replied, “You do.”
Completely confused, she finally looks up, to seek clarification, only to see black space. She then heard a woman’s voice say, “Hello Michelle”, looking around she sees no one in sight, and Michelle says “Who is that?” The strange voice replied “I am who you refer to as The Devil. I have heard every word you spoke and I am honestly impressed. It takes a considerable amount of hatred to speak to God as you did. But I am the God you have been serving your whole life, so in reality you were speaking to me.” Confused, Michelle screamed “You are a liar! I have NEVER served you a day in my life. You know that this is a lie, this is why you will not show yourself as God did.” Just then, she saw an image come into view and to her surprise and dismay, it was her own face. “What is going on? What is this? Is this a joke?” she said. “No,this is far from a joke. I am the devil you have served. As you can see, I look like you, because I am you. You have convinced yourself to believe that your dedication was to the God above, yet your heart did not reflect what your mouth professed. And over time, you believed your own lies. Your church going, was for show. Your tithes were to keep people from talking about you. Your charity was to receive blessings in return. Your prayer at times was authentic, but mostly for relief. The only people you were an example to, were your children and they were unaware of your true self. You desired drunkenness, you desired men without marriage, you desired immoral ways to gain money. And you know His scripture Michelle, something about thinking it and so you are. Or did you skip over that part? So you served me, or should I say you served yourself very well, because I am you and you are me. Michelle, we are one.” Michelle was now sick to her stomach, because she had never thought that she would ever be face to face with the devil, a devil that looked like her own self. “But I was in Heave, I saw it! If I was meant to be in Hell, why was I ever allowed in Heave? Michelle said. “Well, God is so merciful, he allows all that die to experience Heaven before sending them to me. He wants you to see those you missed and get the opportunity see the paradise that you were told about. I came in when you asked to speak with Him; I just maintained the surroundings for my own pleasure. Now this dark space is your home, you will walk aimlessly for eternity, as you did on earth. No honest destination, no light, the same life of darkness that you decided to live on earth, however this will be a literal interpretation.”
Michelle is more confused than she was upon the initial conversation. She asks “Why are we taught that you are some grotesque animal, horns, tails and whatnot?” Seeming aggravated by Michelle’s inability to grasp what is going on, The Devil huffs and says, “This was to make you believe that you are not really responsible for your own deeds. As you can see Michelle, I am not a physical being, I am inside of you. This is why I look like you. All the wrong that you do, is your own doing, it has nothing to do with a dragon in the depth of the earth. I am you and you are me, we are one, so when you blame the “devil” in reality you are blaming yourself.”
Michelle is done, she has nothing left to give and is scared to ask any other questions. She puts her arms to the sky to once again fall to her knees, the Devil kneels down to whisper in her ear “No one here is a victim; you are all guilty by your own choice. So, I must tell you that the tears and the cries mean nothing to me. Remember, I am you and I know that part of you that you are unwilling to acknowledge. The Hell that you feared to go to, already lived in your soul Michelle. You lit that fire long ago and it has been smoldering ever since. So as you walk in this darkness, your soul will finally physically burn. You will burn from the inside out. You deserve it Michelle.” The Devil stands up and begins to walk away and as she steps out of sight, Michelle screams “God Help Me, please. I am so sorry. Please forgive me!” The Devil responds “God lived in you, as I did, but you killed Him a long time ago. You are praying to me, remember? I love you Michelle, my obedient child.”

To begin with guide review takes place Goodreads, then I deliver that on over to my WordPress blog post at, where you'll additionally locate TV & Movie reviews, the revealing and also reflective 365 Daily Obstacle and also great deals of blogging regarding areas I have actually seen around the planet. However simultaneously, http://fortifielasante-blog.info discloses there has actually been little bit of remodeling for graduates as well as women with A-levels. Poltrack: First-- and very most importantly-- I must state that the Girls Techmakers (WTM) team is actually amazing. Aslef, the train vehicle drivers' union, has haggled a menopause office arrangement, and Wales TUC has actually done a study on this problem Deal with abortion rights, unwanted sexual advances and violence versus girls continuouslies be a top priority. Girls consist of 33% of lesser position police officers as well as 21% of captains as well as learn the Israeli military, where 83% from status level to girls. An obvious facet of the troubles ladies deal with in the video game market is that there just typically aren't that most of them doing work in that. Fifty percent from players are actually women, according to the Pew Research Center You would not know that through examining game authors. Toggle the camera choice to transform it ON. This would certainly handle the complication of Pokémon Go may certainly not identify video camera positioning. There are actually whole entire systems made by colleges and also the government in order to get even more ladies in these fields-because yes, it's a trouble. While some performed state childcare and flexitime as an area to become strengthened - particularly in nations such as the United States where pregnancy leave of absence is certainly not required - it is viewed as less of a problem compared to the leading male society, which is actually viewed as the greatest deterrent to recruiting as well as sustaining females in the industry. If you have not specify this up yet, you could need to have a disk-recovery utility such as Data Saving 2. This repairs and senses erased reports in addition to dealing with a lot more general disk concerns. Yet think back to that stat on the percent of females information technology majors around. The affirmation that business can solve the globe's problems might be regarding given that companies are certainly not democratically selected as well as their objective is profit, not to profit culture. In practice, both these as well as Nolvadex, are actually all predominantly suggested as boob cancer cells treatment for post-menopausal women. Our experts likewise suggest checking out at Android Central's online forums and also XDA-Developers for prospective fixes for Android 6.0 issues. Roth takes care of the ladies in her sessions, and her visitors, by promoting all of them to look extra very closely at whatever it is they are actually not experiencing. Cixin spins this trouble in to a remarkable circumstance along with an interstellar scope and combinations a plausible, appealing tale with some incredibly awesome maths and also natural sciences inquiries that also a die-hard math-hater like me can appreciate. If you can not deal with the trouble with any one of those, take your tool in to an Apple Shop. And also because of this, girls will certainly consistently play a foundational role in the fantastic transformations to follow, however just when they have concerns into their very own hands, function all of a sudden and also viscerally, and also center their cumulative power on the only intended that matters: specifically setting up the power of the people over their federal governments.

So if you're one of the unlucky ones, you could want to chime in so Google.com could determine the trouble. I might literally happen for pages quoting off this remarkable assortment and also raving concerning these challenging accounts regarding these complicated" girls yet I will definitely sum that up by recommending that everybody reviewed this, each ladies and also males, for the accounts particular sort of insight into the pain we all, however specifically girls, have a hard time (at the very least within this culture; Gay performs certainly not imply this pain is necessarily inherent to become human, aside from the universal ache of losing a youngster).

Ask the Cat Behaviorist with Mikel Delgado: A Lost Cat, a Cat With Pica, a Screaming Tortie and More
Welcome to our regular “Ask the Cat Behaviorist with Mikel Delgado” segment. Once, or every other month, we’ll post a reminder for you to post your questions for Mikel. She’ll answer as many of them as she can each time, and I’ll publish her answers in a subsequent post.
Mikel is a Certified Cat Behavior Consultant at Feline Minds, offering on-site consultations for cat guardians, shelters, and pet-related businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area, and remote consultations around the world. She obtained her PhD in Psychology at UC Berkeley, where she studied animal behavior and human-pet relationships. Mikel is co-author of Jackson Galaxy’s forthcoming book, Total Cat Mojo: The Ultimate Guide to Life with Your Cat, due out October 31and available for pre-order now (this is an affiliate link*).
A follow up to questions about what to do when a cat goes missing
Before I get to the new questions, I thought I should follow up on my post on what to do if you lose your cat. I did get a few emails from folks who have some AMAZING websites with advice on finding lost cats – including some using technology such as wildlife cams and bionic hearing devices! These sites include http://ift.tt/1jFvALM and http://ift.tt/1fG5KZC ,run respectively by Kim and Bonnie who both left comments in my last column. I agree 100% with both of them that there are many things above and beyond what I mentioned that folks can do to help their cats return (just look at their websites for a plethora of ideas). The hottest issue of contention seems to be whether one should leave used kitty litter outside as a lure for the lost cat. Here was the thread of responses (I tried to put them in the order they were left).
I would suggest that Dr. Delgado have a look at our web site when counseling people about lost cats! There is much one can do to find their cat, but the one thing they should NOT do is put out a litter box! It will draw other cats (who will claim it and your property as “theirs” and will fight your cat off it (s)he tries to come home), dogs and predators. – Bonnie Wagner-Westbrook
I just read Dr Delgado’s response. She suggested putting some used litter into a TNR trap – not putting out a litter box. Tehila
(At this point, I should probably also note that I NEVER recommend leaving traps unsupervised!!! So much to say in one column, so little time! – Mikel)
Tehila, it would have the same consequence. I’ve had cases where cat guardians put out the whole box, sprinkle it around the yard, or inside traps and it attracts local strays who will fight off a cat attempting to come home on his/her own. If these cats are unaltered (and sometimes even after they have been altered), they will spray the area to mark “their” new turf. I’ve heard of (legit) cases of coyotes and other predators being attracted to an area where litter is left out. Just not a good idea. – Bonnie Wagner-Westbrook
I am happy to defer to the experts in this regard – but the logic behind the argument still leaves me with some questions! As I scientist, my main gripe is that we have so little understanding of how cats navigate in the first place. But if the main argument against placing used litter in the trap is that it will attract other animals (including predators), I would like to know why placing delicious food in the trap wouldn’t do the same thing? And lacking lures, how do you get a cat to go in a trap?
In regards to “turf marking” by cats, a lot of research (see Karen Overall and John Bradshaw’s books) shows that cats don’t use urine as a “keep out” message, so much as an “I was here” message. It’s also considered a passive signal to deter aggression, and cats don’t avoid areas that other cats have marked in. In fact, they spend MORE time investigating those areas, and a lot of cats will “overmark” the urine spray of other cats. Of course, this doesn’t mean a terrified, lost cat is going to be out and about pee-sniffing, but it’s important to understand how and what urine-marking communicates between cats. A recent study showed that although cats prefer a clump-less litterbox, previous urine odor of another cat was not a deterrent.
I agree with Bonnie. I do lost cat recovery full-time and advise against using kitty litter in any way (other than inside the house, of course). In my experience, people who swear by it are being superstitious as cats who return when litter is involved would have come back just as well to a sack of potatoes on the porch. – Kim Freeman
Now this argument makes more sense to me! I think it gets back to the question of not knowing WHY cats come back. We tend to throw every possible solution at the problem and hope that at least one thing helps the cat return or go into the trap! I have had several friends, neighbors and clients use the litter without problems, but of course they also did other things to help get their cat back! That said, I’ve also seen several cases where the human ended up going to the cat (by setting traps where the cat has been spotted) rather than the cat coming home – which brings us back to your awesome methods using wildlife cams and other technology!
About finding your cat… Not too long ago some neighbors the next street over lost their cat and put flyers on the front doors of every house in the neighborhood. It turned out that the cat had gotten into our attic… Don’t know how but we heard it when it was meowing, and made the connection between it and the flyer that was left at our door. It turned out to be the cat and the people got it back. If they had only put flyers on telephone poles, etc. we would’ve never known who’s cat it was. Mason
Mason, This is an excellent point. The more contact you can make with people (online neighborhood message boards, face to face, flyers under every door) the better!!!
Re: sister cats and redirected aggression; I had the same problem when I moved the my current apartment. I arranged for two feral cats to be trapped, neutered, and returned (TNR). Eventually my cats settled down. They still go slightly bonkers, but the aggression against each other gradually ended. Last week, one showed up and my older cat just sat and stared back at him. – Tehila
Tehila, thank you for sharing your experience. I wish all kitties would have this reaction! For tips on keeping cats out of your yard, see my last column, or this recent one posted on Conscious Cat.
Cat with a serious case of pica
Hi Mikel, I work at a shelter and was approached by a cat owner who has a cat with a serious case of Pica. She owns two older cats, a 12 yo male and a 7 1/2 yo female -both are declawed. She then adopted a stray female kitten that was very playful and got along ok with her other two cats. After she was spayed and unfortunately also declawed, she began to notice her chewing behavior began.
It started with the curtain cords- she tucked those away then she moved on to shoes/couches/dressers, toys and just about any other item that she could. Her vet felt there were no medical issues and it was just a lack of stimulation and suggested that she adopt another kitten. So she adopted another 8 month old kitten. They did and still do play together but the chewing behavior continued.
After discovering her chewing on the windowsills she confined both kittens to a room to reduce the damage to her apartment. She has tried all kinds of allowable chew toys, sprayed areas that were off limits with anti-chew spray (which did not work)- physically blocked off areas, increased her interactive play time with her, tried Feliway plug-ins, different types of food puzzles, kitty grass, outdoor bird feeders etc – you name it she has tried it.
She currently has her cat on Prozac at 5 mg and is working on clicker training – The Prozac has helped a little but the chewing continues. She is not particular when it comes to her chewing and her owner is worried she is going to swallow something that is going to harm her eventually. This concern alone makes it all the more difficult to enrich her environment and she’s fallen into a catch 22 situation.
Any thoughts on where she could go from here to change or stop this endless need to chew? – Karen
Karen, Depending on how long the cat has been on Prozac, she may not have been benefiting from the therapeutic effects yet (Prozac typically takes several weeks to “kick in”) – so she can check in with her vet about how much improvement she should be seeing by now.
Pica can be tricky, because in many cases, life-long management is necessary. There’s still a lot we don’t know about why some cats are prone to it (there is a genetic component in many cases), but the assumption is that increased stimulation and enrichment is helpful. The Indoor Pet Initiative, led by Dr. Tony Buffington, has good resources for making sure that cats have everything they need to be happy indoors. In cases of persistent pica like this one, I would recommend that she work with an experienced consultant or veterinary behaviorist who can do a home visit and assess the environment, looking for stressors that might not be so obvious (perhaps sounds or smells?).
I would also want more information on whether the kitten chews on food items in the owner’s presence, the owner’s absence, or both. That can tell us a little about her motivation – is it anxiety, is the chewing being reinforced by attention, etc. The clicker training is certainly a good approach to rewarding behaviors we like, not the ones we don’t like!
Recent research found a relationship between digestive upset and chewing on non-food items, so it’s possible that there is still an undiagnosed medical issue. We also know from a new study, that sadly, declawing is every bit as terrible as many of us feared, in regards to leading to long-term pain and behavior issues.
Screaming tortie
I have a screaming Tortie and Dr. Kris told me to ask you. We have had her for 4 years. She was a rescue that my brother adopted for my mom and we adopted her from Mom. She is a talker sometimes and can be really sweet but I am afraid we will be kicked out of our apartment. We live in a 1st floor 2 bedroom 2 bathroom and she has her run of the place. She is only not allowed in our 2 closets. She refuses to drink from her water bowl unless someone comes with her in hopes that we will turn the faucet on. She does not like me watching her drink but I tell her mommy is not leaving until you start drinking. She won’t play with her toys. We got her a pink scratching post where you need to find the ball and it has cute hanging bells and she would rather watch us play with it. She does love looking out the patio window watching the people walk by and the kids playing soccer on the tennis courts. But she is so needy and won’t play with her toys, only eats cat food, and wants to be with us 24-7. I won’t even apply for a helper dog for my MS because she will be so jealous if her mommy has another baby. We won’t even adopt another cat because we cannot afford 2 kitties. Her screaming is horrible. I don’t know whether that is a Tortie thing or not. She does love having both a mommy and a daddy. What do I do? I am about to pull out my hair. – Debbie Ramsey
Debbie, In situations like yours, I always wonder how much WE are contributing to the cat’s behavior. I had a case where one of my cats was having difficulty using a food puzzle on her own. Guess who stepped in to help? ME. Guess who could use the food puzzle just fine when mommy went out of town? My cat who was having difficulty! Turns out I was just “enabling” her and she was perfectly willing to have me do all the work for her when I was around.
Reading your email, it seems like you are concerned about a few things: 1. excessive meowing 2. it sounds like she likes drinking out of the faucet 3. she won’t play with her toys 4. you would like to get another dog but think she would be jealous I’ll do my best to address each of these things!
1. Cats who meow usually meow for one of a few reasons: something is wrong (I’m going to assume this is not the case) they are bored (possible, some cats get bored very easily!), or she has learned that meowing gets her attention from humans. See my previous column for advice on “screaming cats.” If you talk back when she talks to you, she may have learned that meowing is great fun!
2. For cats who like drinking out of faucets, a pet fountain can be great. You can also try a DIY project or a motion sensitive faucet that will turn any sink into a cat fountain.
3. If you are having difficulty getting your cat to play, it may be because of the toys, or because of how you are playing! The scratching posts with the hanging toys may be attractive to kittens, but that type of toy loses appeal for adult cats.I don’t know what other kinds of toys you have for your girl, but I recommend having a variety of interactive toys that resemble prey. Some of my favorites include the Cat Dancer, Da Bird, the Cat Catcher, and Neko Flies. These are all designed to mimic the movements of prey and I have found that most cats respond very well to these toys. Be sure to put them away when you aren’t supervising, as toys with string and wire are not safe to leave out with cats!
As to HOW to play, I recommend moving in ways that mimic the prey animals and that use what we know about cat hunting behavior. Cats are attracted to movement away from them (like a mouse trying to get away) and rustling sounds. Alter your movements, so that sometimes you move verrrrrrry slowly, then add in some quick bursts to see what she responds to best and when. Remember that cats are stalk and rush hunters, so sometimes they like the slow movements best (the ones that humans usually find boring!), and the actual pouncing part might be a very small part of your play sequence, depending on your cat’s activity level.
Don’t make the play too hard (let her touch the toy from time to time so she gets the tactile stimulation), or too easy (don’t poke, pet or otherwise put the toy right in your cat’s face – no mouse or bird would do that!). And be sure to rotate toys – a previous study showed that cats got bored of the same toy before they got bored of playing!
4. I would not assume your cat will be jealous of a new family member – for many “busy” kitties, more members of the family = more things to keep them stimulated! If you choose your new dog wisely, make sure he or she is well -trained, and do a slow introduction, there’s no reason you can’t expand your family! I’ve seen many households where cats and dogs get along fantastically.
I hope this helps!
I love this column, it is especially informative and very interesting. I like the lengthy ones, even more (hint, hint!) Thank you so much! – VagabondMoon,
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ll do my best to keep my answers in-depth when I can!
No questions (for now!), but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy this advice. I volunteer with rescue cats and have learned tons! – Robert Wagers
Thanks Robert! Rescue cat volunteers are quality people
