The real trials of having foster cats is convincing them that your existing cat, who is very good at taking care of kittens and has no sense of personal space and no social graces whatsoever with adult cats, is NOT an evil murderer here to kill them or whatever, and IS in fact a big fucking idiot who will crumple and give them free reign of his entire baby territory in an instant if they walk past him in a confident way and mostly wants to cuddle and groom them, and is simply being interpreted as a threat because he fundamentally does not understand that other cats may not want an overly enthusiastic orange old man perpetually glued to their sides every hour and minute of their lives.

#we speak #misc.#our newest foster is named Luna and she is currently full of grubs and overdue for delivering said grubs #it's been a while since she arrived so she has been briefly allowed out to explore the apartment with supervision #so that she is familiar with the environment and the existence of other cats within that environment #this is a necessity because lemon knows the other bedroom being cleaned up means that there are kittens #and has been sitting outside the door yodelling plaintively because he LOVES kittens and wants to parent them #they are currently in “sniffing each other prison” aka us supervising them becoming aware of each other #because though we love lemon dearly we also acknowledge that he is a big stupid idiot #and also luna has been hissing at him through the door while he yodels. which is making us think that like #introducing them early may be necessary because if she does not get used to his existence she will probably get more stressed out #from the stranger yelling at her door who she cannot see or reach
