I offer this latest sacrifice that this particular thread may never die.
Anywho.
Seriously, a good ear scratching barely gets her to move, even though you can see just how much she really likes it. 12/10. Good cat.
My partner and I rescued the cutest baby cyborg from the office parking lot recently. She was about 3 weeks old at the time. That may account for my absence from this forum, as we have been nursing her back to health in addition to all other busy life activities.
Anyway, she’s 3 months now and a happy, healthy, terror. The robot uprising will begin with kittens, and I will gladly submit to their rule.
(And if you zoom in, you can see the xG3 in my hand. Hehe.)
Anyway, Meet Peppermint:
The Borgs
Well unfortunately for everyone else here, I am about to win this entire thread. Let me introduce you all to our zoo, from oldest to youngest.
Walter - The Grouchy Grandpa
Beautiful to look at ,yes, but he will steal your food. Also unless you are Millie-Margaret, he wants nothing to do with you (most of the time). When he does decide he wants attention though, he NEEDS it right now. I love him way more than I am willing to let on.
Millie-Margaret - The Polydactyl Princess
Bless this cat, she is the sweetest thing that gets along with everybody. As a polydactyl, she is both a cyborg and a mutant - in total she has 13 (14?) extra toes. The only “gotcha” is that she is more insistent than I would like that I clean her butthole for her. It’s one thing to ask politely every now and then, it’s a whole nother to constantly shove it in my face.
Arceus - The Bestest Boi
Growing up, I was obsessed with dogs - so I think I know them pretty well. But this dog is - by an incredible margin - the most well behaved animal I have ever met. He’s also the prime example of the #1 rule of dogs (big dogs think they are little and little dogs think they are big) and thus this is one of the only photos I have of him where he is not sitting in someone’s lap.
The Absolute - The Annoying Asshole
“Abby” is the epitome of the shit-disturber-feline archetype. She scream, she attack, she rip the bottom panel off my 3D printer and tear out all the guts (yes actually). Despite all that, it’s impossible to be around her and not laugh. Like Walter, I love her, but I would never admit it (and don’t worry, my partner let me get a new 3D printer with an enclosure.
A post was merged into an existing topic: The anti:no_entry_sign:-derailment:railway_car: & thread:thread: hijacking:gun: thread:thread: 
My cat that I’ve had for ~6 years… Her name is Peaches.
8 months ago or so I moved out of my father’s place and got an apartment with my SO, who also has a cat. His name is Pebble. He is used to one other cat in the house.
Today I moved her in… to our office. The other cat has full reign, and she has the office. After a while we’ll do the ‘door thing’ until letting them meet. Peaches has not really ever lived with another cat.
I present my very angry lady:
I’m not really allowed to use my desk right now. She does not want to be touched. All around: Absolutely pissed. Grumbling, occasionally hissing.
If you have tips I’ll take them in anti-derailment haha. But I think she is just mad that I stole her and put her in close proximity to another cat.
I asked an expert. She recommended treats, possibly a can of tuna. Hard to be as angry with a full belly.
She ate a few very reluctantly.
For whatever reason, Peaches hates anything fish-related. She won’t eat any human food either other than, get this: Cheese flavored crunchy snacks (chips, pringles, etc).
Newest cyborg added to the family - yesterday.
His name, Sherman.
His length, 133cm.
His age, 6 years as of Nov29 2025.
Despite being here for only 24 hours now, he realllllly seems interested in smelling me, and oddly not fearful.
Yesterday, all I did was fill his water and move his climbing stick. He took some good sniffs from a distance.
Today, all I did was pick up a pile of fecal matter. He was zooming toward me with his tongue just going.
I’ve been informed that I shouldn’t meaningfully interact with him until he’s been fed, and shouldn’t feed until the 5-7 days of being in his new home due to stress risk, but honestly I’m tempted to feed as early as tomorrow due to how inquisitive he’s been. He comes right out of his hide the moment we start messing with anything touching his enclosure’s lid.
He was last fed at the end of last month, so he’s certainly hungry. His normal cycle is every 14 days, per previous owner.
Excuse the odd temp, the temp probe is not where it should be and I’m still messing with the heat sources trying to get them stable.
I see he’s struggling to get his last bit of shed off, so I’ve been pumping the humidity in his tank, too.
Edit: Just adding photos
Apparently, this is now a Thing.
For those of you who are not cat people; firstly, I weep for your souls, secondly, a Cat Thing is somewhere between a fad, a habit and a permanent behavior.
The best example is The Spot. Spit’s (my cat) current spot is in front of the heater, where it stays all winter long, but in the warmer months The Spot can be on the cat tower, an old shirt I dropped somewhere, the back of the couch, etc. It moves you see, but it’s the kind of thing that takes a set for several weeks to several months.
There are many many other Cat Things, some temporary, some lifelong. Anywho, I’m gonna hafta stock some supplies within reach in case this is long term and I end up trapped here again.
