What could be better than owning a pet? Having two, of course. Or maybe even three! The more, the merrier.

But along with extra cuddles and love comes a fair share of chaos and drama, too. One Redditor decided to ask people with multiple furry friends to share the hilarious soap operas unfolding in their homes, and the responses did not disappoint.

Scroll down to read their stories and brighten your day.

47 Pet Owners Share The Biggest Beef Their Animals Have Going On Right Now I feel typing it out is therapy.

I have eight dogs.

Not a typo. I didn't do it on purpose. It just kinda... happened. People leave a dog with you and never come back and then the 'what's one more at this point?' ideology hits and suddenly, you think maybe you should file some paperwork and just become a shelter, but you know you won't adopt any out so you're just stuck with a pack of dogs.

Anyway.

Let's discuss Dog Politics in a pack of eight very different dogs.

I have a mini pack within the pack, of my four weens - Chicken Nugget (the queen alpha of the ween pack), Kimchi (her daughter and second in command), Gus Gus ( an inbred ween who only has one functioning eye and brain cell), and Taco Bell (has all his braincells but only uses them for evil and narcissistic purposes).

The larger Pack consists of Sadie (a mixture of all the big dogs you can think of and is often mistaken for a pony), Max (a dutch Shepard - which is just a nice way of saying a really dumb German Shepard), Puppy (her government name is Charlie but it never stuck - Australian sheep dog) and Django - the Dog Who Started it All. He's a chiweenie, but mostly just a medium sized sausage with tiny legs and the sweetest heart you ever met.

Are you still reading this? Why?!

Anyway, when they're all in the same room (whichever room I'm in) Sadie is in charge. She basically raised all of them except Max and Django. She's about two years past her expiration date, though, so Chicken polices when Sadie is too tired.

As it gets colder outside, the true drama surrounds heat. I'm not a very big woman, and so not all of them can be on me at once.

Thus they play Queen of the Mountain.

I am the mountain. Obviously.

If I am in a seated position, it is a full half hour of inner fighting before they all settle into the same spot they've settled into for years. I don't know why we do this several times a day, but we do.

Hope you have a great day and thanks for reading. Unless you voted for Trump. Then have the day you voted for.

CACAW.

    47 Pet Owners Share The Biggest Beef Their Animals Have Going On Right Now As she’s now on her own (for the safety of others) my massive duck has free run of the garden. This, we hoped, would quieten her innate rage at being born a duck rather than a honey badger.

    It has not. She is now the quacking equivalent of a gang leader. Wild birds know that any food that falls to the ground is hers now. Neighbourhood cats fear to step foot in the garden.

    The latest development is that the dogs will now not go out alone. Together, they stand a chance, but alone…

    The dogs in question are a GSD cross the size of a small pony and a Patterdale.

    There was an area near where I lived that was the home to a flock of geese. They were peaceful until a duck decided to join them, for whatever reason. We would get chased from thereon; the duck would be running in front of everyone.

    We were driving across Wyoming with our Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute and it was *boring*! We were trying to stave off the boredom with weird things from gas stations, reading out loud, and who knows what all. The dogs were in the back seat. The BEST toy ever, a squeaky plastic chicken drumstick. The toy was excellent in many ways because it squeaked and they would squeak it at the other when they got their hands on it. One of them suddenly decided it was unfair that the other had it, had always had it, would ever have it again and lit into the other. It was sudden, loud and sounded violent. Both of the humans told them to stop but the outburst from my husband stunned them. They stopped fighting over the toy and each turned to look out their respective windows with looks of total innocence. Yup, like toddlers.

    47 Pet Owners Share The Biggest Beef Their Animals Have Going On Right Now We're a blended family - the dog is scared of the cat, the cat is scared of the dog - but they both want those sunny spots in the house so bad.

    The solution seems to be the cat sitting with his back to the dog, and the dog hiding her face so she can't see the cat.

    When my sister was born, we had the opposite problem. The dog became jealous of her and kept stealing her toys and barking at her. My mum was worried one day she would bite her, so we had to give our dog to a friend. She lived happily there for about 10 years before dying of cancer.

    Large white dog lying on grass surrounded by multiple black chickens in an outdoor farm setting with trees in background We have to stand guard while our dog eats because the chickens will steal his food and he will let them because he’s trained to stop touching food if someone interacts with his food. It does not occur to him that this rule only applies to humans and not to chickens.

    We had the same problem. I had to stop our German Shepherd chasing the new chickens. She became so accommodating, she let them eat her food, looking on mournfully. I had to show her, by example, that she could chase them away. They even set up a routine when the rooster would steal some, dog would chase it, hens would crash the bowl to steal some until dog came back!

    Our beloved creatures can be sooooo sneaky. Because my girls (dogs) get tiny treats for going outside to potty, they learned to alert me to their needs separately, one after the other -- so I am up and down, opening and closing the door -- within 5 minutes of each other. So they both get treated twice. Sneaky harlots!!

    Sorry for ranting, but I HATE THIS. This situation is the owner's faultand it's their job to fix it. People love to humanize dogs and call such a situation cute, but it's NOT. It's the dog having to watch other animals eating his food because human said "NO. Let it happen." It's the owner's job to set clear boundaries here so that the dog can eat in peace. Especially if you have multiple animals, no matter what species. The chicken do not eat the dog's food to make fun of the dog or because they are "friends". They eat it because they want to and they know he can't do anything to stop them without risking a punishment. Create a save space for the dog to eat in peace, either inside the house or a little fenced in area where the chicken cant bother him. Do your job instead of finding it "cute".

    That's what they recommend. We were told by a trainer, when we had a few issues with our current Patterdale Terrier, to always feed them after we've eaten - and that's fairly inconsistent due to work. They don't seem to mind at all and the clocks changing is never an issue.

    Natsume and Jon Snow look so similar to each other, it’s always a shock. Jon Snow knows this, and several times has waited right at my door so that he can pretend he’s Natsume who accidentally got out and needs to come back inside. 

    Natsume doesn’t even know he’s been a victim of attempted identity theft. One of these days Jon Snow might be successful. It’s almost worked several times.

    If you want your cats to enjoy the outdoors, you really should have an enclosed pen. This keeps the cat(s) safe, the wildlife safe, and ensures they won’t wander off. For anyone who says they should be allowed outside to be free, you must’ve come from a small town . This is no longer considered a good idea.

    This is cultural with much of the US and Canada embracing indoor only attitudes. I suppose Türkiye is the opposite extreme from indoor only since a lot of them, and dogs, are cared for by the community. There are even accounts of dogs and cats taking themselves to get medical help, such as a mother dog bringing her puppy to a vet for treatment. WRT providing catios, it’s not always an option, depending on the living situation. I’m in a situation where I would probably not be able to install a structure but was able to install a thigh high fence. Before I did that and I’d let my goof out while I was outside he’d slink over to the carport and sit under the cars. Now I have my little fence and it seems to not have occurred to Skippy to jump over it. He doesn’t have a lot of space but it’s apparently ok with him. I don’t have to worry about him sneaking over to dogs out on walks and bullying them.

    OMG!! My father traveled with a well-known country band as their merchandiser (think shirts, hats etc) and would periodically visit me at my apartment when he was in town (he lived in Kentucky and me, in Utah). At the time, I had an average looking house (not allowed outside) cat, part white and part grey tabby. One evening, a few minutes after our goodbyes, my back door opened and a cat was tossed into my kitchen while I hear "Someone got out..." That is when I looked over to the other side of my couch to see Tu Kitty (my cat) lounging. It was THAT evening when I learned that my cat's markings were NOT unique and his doppelganger was a stray living in our area. And he wasn't a nice fellow to shoo back outside.

    47 Pet Owners Share The Biggest Beef Their Animals Have Going On Right Now The doggo goes into his crate at human meal times, because kid. He's fine with it, he gets lots of treats and praise for being the best boy.

    The cat has decided that he wants to flaunt his freedom at human mealtime. Cat is old and basically has spent the last 18 months since the doggo arrived sleeping in my bed, emerging only at his own meal times.

    So now as soon as doggo goes into his crate when human food comes out, cat comes out of the bedroom and just sits where the doggo can see him.

    He then often takes it up a notch, and will jump into my lap if I've finished eating and stare at the dog.

    I am convinced the cat 100% knows what he's doing.

    47 Pet Owners Share The Biggest Beef Their Animals Have Going On Right Now They do not care for their three towers. They prefer the shelves on which we keep our knickknacks, which they knock off so they can enjoy the shelves in solitude. So we got them a set of their own shelves which are the exact same set as the ones we use for our knickknacks. Those shelves are horrid and stupid and WRONG, apparently. They don’t want cat shelves; they only want knickknack shelves. We tried moving our things to the shelves they won’t use. This was an unacceptable compromise, and they continue to use whichever shelves houses our knickknacks.

    My story is one where no-one is happy, I rescue a bird from cat. At that moment I had no idea what type of bird it was. It was big enough for me to wonder how on earth it came through the cat flap. The whole time I'm walking back to the garden it looks at me and all I can repeat is I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. As we go through the garden I see a deconstructed pidgeon autopsy. My conclusion the now named Sparrow Hawk k****d the pidgeon, and the cat saw an opportunity to grab a fast food take-away. The Hawk was released and flew off, the pidgeon went in the bin and the cat wondered where it all went wrong.

    Unless you live on a farm and need the cat to control the rat population, your cat had no business being outside. No cat owner wants to hear this, but house cats are basically an invasive species. Small wildcat populations have dwindled a lot over time, so other predators have taken their place. Domesticated cats that roam free have a devastating influence on the local bird populations in many countries because they do not belong in the food chain outside of their comfy homes. We do not NEED domesticated cats to control any "pests" in our pretty neighbourhoods.

    Angry cat with mouth open sitting on tiled floor, illustrating funny feuds between multiple pets at home. Little cat just turned 2 and is clearly going through some form of psychological puberty because she won’t stop hissing at the big cat, who is 3, and is a big dumb sweetheart. They used to cuddle, now they tolerate.

    They get supervised backyard time but the little cat has decided she owns the backyard and if big cat ventures out there, she flies at him with teeth and claws and ungodly screeching noises.

    I hope she hits the lazy adulthood stage soon.

    The predator, the cat is scared of what in nature would be her prey, the rabbit. The rabbit on the other hand does not care and thinks that she’s a predator because she charges at the cat every time she gets close. The cat is otherwise a very territorial and protective animal but for some reason the rabbit is scary.

    The new cat quarrels with the resident cat, so they've staked out territory with resident cat having the bed, and new cat claiming the couch. Recently they trialed sharing the bed overnight without hissing, successfully. They have learned to eat food next to each other without fuss but sometimes swipe. But most importantly for each meal I tell them "you two be good sisters!" and they've learned that they must be nice to each other so resident cat will begrudgingly walk up to new cat and lower her head to be groomed by new cat, and they sniff noses. Then I praise them and feed them.

    My two cats do that too. I got the second cat because after my previous cat died, the other cat got such bad separation anxiety, he wouldn't want me to leave the house, but he doesn't really like the newer cat. He will sometimes groom the newer cat's head.

    ~6lb cat lays on the ~100lb dog's bed, instead of his own little cat bed, and the dog is too polite to do anything about it and will just sit next to his bed and look sad til I move the cat for him.

    Shouty cat was mucking about in a bin with some fresh picked tomatoes in it. Got yelled at, didn't move until I walked over towards him, then of course he took off at mach Jesus and flung tomatoes everywhere. I thought I got them all but little dog managed to sneak off with two and chew them up in one of the only carpeted rooms in the house. He doesn't even like vegetables.

    My concern about the 'fat cat' is that it makes it more susceptible to diseases, such as diabetes, that may result in a shorter life & a lot of money spent at the vet and on medicines. Then there is the 'skinny cat' that is likely not getting enough food so it may not be receiving the nutrients/calories it needs to stay healthy. The owner likely already knows this, but the cats need to go to the vet, if they haven't been in the last 6 mo's to a yr & spoken about this issue. The vet can help determine the best diet for them. More than 1 person recommended the following: One thing you can start immediately that will help both cats is to put the skinny cat in a kennel/ carrier/ separate room so it can eat in peace. As a result, this will prevent the fat cat from eating the extra food it shouldn't have. Your vet will likely recommend a gradual reduction of food & treats, but I know it will be hard to change your habits & not reach for a treat when fat cat is begging for one. Good Luck!!

    Had a very sweet and docile German Checkered Giant rabbit - though she was almost fully white, as she missed most of the black spots. Some years in I've adopted a little brown bunny, as his family didn't want him anymore (he had a tendency to bite). However, in summertime I had them next each other on the law (both fencended in), but seperated as i didn't want to get surprised with a bunch of baby bunnies. Little brown bunny was not castrated and very interested in big white bunny. Big white bunny couldn't have cared less. This clashed with little bunnie's big male pride. So, he often started to try to draw attention by thumping. Unfortunately to no avail. So he started to do a stretched hop while twisting his body in a way that he could spray pïss all over poor big white bunny. Gosh, after my white bunnie's fur got stained bright yellow several times and also refused to clean it off herself (understandable) and made me do it, little bunny got revoked his privilege to sit next to her

    I have a tiny dog (a papillon) and adopted a senior Maine Coon, who is much bigger than the dog. They are currently trying to befriend each other.

    The dog expresses her intent to make friends by rushing to the cat, making play poses, throwing toys at her and barking. The cat, being a cat, doesn't appreciate the noise and quick movement.

    The cat expresses her love through trying to cuddle up to the dog when she's asleep. The dog, being a dog, gets extremely startled at suddenly waking up to a giant feline touching her while she's in deep sleep.

    They do sniff each other when they're next to each other, but I personally think they would love to cuddle. The cat just doesn't feel courageous enough to approach the dog when she's awake, because the dog gets so happy she enters play mode.

    9 indoor cats and one new outdoor boy. Little tabby girl (Salmon, AKA Baby Cat) is *obsessed* with outdoor boy (Gary). She's not long hit spay weight, so when she went into heat, she was sat at the front door crying for him.

    Tabby indoor boy (Mackerel) can open doors, and loves Gary. Mackerel keeps trying to open the front door to let Gary in.

    Gary *really* wants in, but can't come in until he's neutered.

    Black indoor boy #1, Sooty, didn't initially like Gary, but is now obsessed with sniffing the dressing gown I wear when I go to sit with Gary.

    Black indoor boy #2, Purple, sits by the front door wanting to play with Gary.

    Black indoor girl #2, Sushi, is also waiting to be spayed and is obsessed with Sooty. Sooty used to *love* Sushi, but wants nothing to do with this.

    Tripod girl, Oreo, watches Gary from the window with a "I already tried this" look.

    Grey Mama Kitty, Smokey Baguette, occasionally bats her children because she's sick of this.

    My 18 year old cat is doing the thing where she couldn't possibly eat that horrible food despite it being her favourite food for the last week or so, and what she'd like to do is to lie mournfully in a state of starvation next to the bowl looking pitiful so I give in and open some other brand/flavour of food that she didn't like last week. However our fat tomcat just sees the full bowl and thinks "free breakfast" and she hates him so is left glaring at him from a safe distance as he's ruined her opportunity for making a scene.

    If you have two cats, set up another litterbox in a different area, so the cats each have their own. The territorial one can’t guard two boxes in different parts of the house at the same time, thereby giving the other cat a chance to go potty in peace.

    At the beginning of the year I had 3 2 year and one month old rats, because in the previous two months I had lost 2 rats from old age and a sudden unexpected passing. Rats can live up to 3 years, but that's very old, so I was looking to adopt new, somewhat older rats as very young rats would be going through puberty when these three would be ancient.

    A week later I had one old rat, because the other two had to be euthanized due to stroke and cancer. The one left was not doing well alone and I got 3 "emergency" rats from a pet store. Not my preferred route, but adoption takes time. Meanwhile I was in contact with a rat shelter to adopt 5 older rats, but they informed me that they had to euthanize 3 of them over the weekend. Then the car broke down and I couldn't get the remaining two rats until weeks later.

    Meanwhile, the old rat and the 3 babies were doing amazingly well together. The old rat perked up from the social interaction. Several weeks later I pick up the two old rats from the shelter. I got zero information beforehand except the age: 21 months. As I pick them up they turn out to be ex-lab rats. I've adopted ex-lab rats from this shelter before and that went well except for their poor health due to chronic respiratory infections. As the shelter employee loads up the rats in my carrier he offhandedly mentioned these rats were returned by a family as these rats had bitten the children, but that was nonsense as these rats were the sweetest rats ever.

    These were definitely "sweet", but also very bitey and dominant and stressed out of their minds. They definitely bit the kids, because they bit me multiple times and I have years of experience handling rats. They were, as I said, stressed out of their minds.

    But they were settling in well in the group. They did cause some bite wounds on the other rats (leading to vet visits), and introduction was a tough road (the two ex-lab rats were nick named terrorrats), but they settled in eventually. One of them attached to the old rat and the other liked the younger rats better. Perfect, except a month later the latter ex-lab rat developed an embolism or had a heart attack, and had to be euthanized. Then the remaining terrorrat scratched his eye, it got infected and despite me visiting two vets, oral antibiotics and eye drops that I had to administer 6 times a day, he lost his eye. Then the old rat had to be euthanized as he was 2,5 years old and skin and bones. So terrorrat lost his brother, his eye and his new buddy. He started to bite me. He started to chase the other young rats and attack their tails. I tried to do reintroductions, but broke that off when terrorrat started to deglove tails. By then the three young rats hated his guts and all 4 rats were super stressed.

    So now I have 2 separate rat groups. The 3 young rats that are now adults and doing quite well and Terrorrat with 4 young rats. He's now 2 years and 3 months, has aged a lot, but is no longer so stressed, hasn't bitten the new rats in a bad way, and all 5 are pretty social. Once terrorrat is gone, I want to see if I can merge the groups, but I will have to see if the 3 rats aren't too traumatized by what happened between them and terrorrat.

    So for the moment, the drama has settled.

    Well, see, reverend likes to climb up into the ceiling (it's just small space between the top and bottom floor, nothing in it, absolutely not a single special thing about it) and eventually scream his head off like he can't figure out how he gets in and out every time. that's his thing, I don't pretend to understand it but maybe he knows something we don't. now rant doesn't care about the space but he certainly does when reverend is in it and reverend doesn't want him in it


    so at least 3-4 times a day I'll hear the wailing for no reason, followed by a bunch of banging through the vents, followed by fighting because my cats are idiots.

    My boy cat does this with our basement. Every time a human goes down there he follows them. Then when the human comes upstairs, the cat whines and wails piteously. He can't seem to find his way up the stairs without lots of cheerleading. If cheerleading doesn't work, then he gets picked up and carried upstairs, which he hates.

    My puppy loves to play “I’m not touching you” with my senior dog, and my senior dog is using every last bit of her restraint and good nature to deal with the annoying whipper snapper.

    We have two cats, an almost 3 year old girl and an 8 month old boy we adopted a couple months ago to keep her company during the day.

    She loves the dude, but likes to sleep alone. He loves her so much that wants to clean (read as lick her) and sleep right next to her. She'll be sleeping peacefully and whenever he lies next to her and licks her head she'll be _maaaaad_ .

    They're adorable tho, I could spend hours just watching them play with each other.

    It's worse when they do. Broke my heart to put her down, absolutely shredded my heart to hear her brother crying plaintively for her, going room to room, searching.

    This happened to me with my two cat sisters, my visiting Grandma let them out because she didn’t know it wasn’t safe. We lived near a preserve, there were tons of coyotes, and one of them k****d one of my cats. The surviving sister did just what you said, wandering from room to room crying, at all hours of the day and night. I got a kitten shortly afterwards in hopes it would help her and it did up to a point. She never really cottoned to him but she settled down and did much better once we got him. They were about 2 when it happened, the surviving sister lived to the ripe old age of 17, sweet girl.

    If you have animals that like to play with each other’s toys, but duplicates so if this scenario rears its ugly head, you have one for each.

    My Alaskan Malamute x German Shepherd dog had two “alien bone” toys. The were dog bone shaped, orange, with two antennae. Keeyush nibbled the little blobs off one and not the other. I assumed she wanted to keep track of which was which.

    The guinea pigs fight over veggies.....when all three of them get plenty. Then, two of them snuggle in a house together, with one of them squished into the back, lol

    And the dog is terrified of the cats, even though they are very docile and well behaved. She wont jump up on the bed if they are there.

    I have an 11 year old tortie cat and a 2 year old torbie (tortoiseshell tabby) so there is never not drama. The tortie is constantly judging everything. Her latest is inspecting the little one’s bed, like if she walking past it she goes and stands in it for a few seconds. It’s obvious that she checks it out because she can’t believe it’s SO DISGUSTING (it’s completely fine).

    Top dog is going blind and there is an active power shift. Blind dog is still the boss, but not for long. Soon, younger dog will have all the power, but thankfully he’s not a tyrant.

    My fat old cat likes to sit in my lap. My 20kg teenaged Kelpie X likes to sit on my lap, especially if the cat is already there. My young skinny cat also wants to stand on my shoulder or chest, and he doesn't like the dog, and will scream at her if she pays him any attention. She is very interested in him.

    Siamese are snobs, and more than capable of ganging-up to reinforce their superiority on anyone or anything available. They are also excellent cat burglars and can open cupboards and other doors with ease, and considerable stealth.

    So I have a big one orange 🍊 brain cell who’s also a spoilt brat 🤦‍♀️ I am also helping 3 stray kitties that he loathes. One night few weeks ago, Moo (white cat with black patches) broke inside and Ginger was being fed at the time. He saw Moo and charged 🫠 Now, Moo is a timid cat and Ginger who acts all tough and mighty but also afraid of a lot of things were battling. Luckily Moo escaped through an open window and I was able to grab Ginger. Now whenever he sees Moo outside, he‘s trying to fight him 💀 Also Ginger got his eye scratched by Moo but he’s fine now after eye drops so yea, fun times ….

    My husband and I have two cats, we each had our own before getting together. My husband's cat Hondo is almost twice the age of my boy Merlin, and Merlin is terrified of him even though he doesn't really do anything but loom over him. Hondo will loom over Merlin until he gets so freaked he bolts, then steals his spot. If Hondo is laying down in the hallway Merlin will have an existential crisis about how to get around him. And occasionally he literally scares the [hell] out of Merlin. I heard Merlin hissing and freaking out once so I ran into the room to intervene and was instantly hit by an odor most foul as Merlin sped by me with a trail of lil nuggets left behind. But Merlin also likes to smack Hondo sometimes when Hondo is walking by minding his own business and Hondo will just stop and turn to look at him and Merlin will flee in terror, and every time I'm like my dude, don't dish it if you can't take it...

    Our cats aren't exactly friends. They get along most of the time, but no grooming, and they never touch each other while taking a nap. Never. However, they've discovered a few weeks ago that it's actually possible to share One Human. They will, however, demand equal petting. If I pet one but not the other, both cat and me will get the dirtiest of looks. Oh well, if it brings them closer together...

    Frankie (cat) is very loud and is annoying the dog. The dog is bored and snappy as we didn't get to take her out yesterday as it pissed down all day. Meanwhile, Alfie, the new foster kitten, is trying to escape her room and the two youngest cats (about 4 months old) are screaming to get in and every time we open the door there is a scrum of cats! Daisy (black cat) is rolling about in her own little world and Ralph (old cat) is grumpy as hell and pissed in the dog's bed yesterday. We have 4 types of food for all the animals and they constantly try to eat each others.

    The big dog doesn't like the cat (because when he was a puppy and wanted to play with the cat, the cat punched him), the cat beats the small dog, small dog wants to play with everybody, but only big dog plays with him. Small dog also tries to eat the guinea pigs food.

    Wear an old t-shirt to bed for a couple of nights, rub the t-shirt over the kitten. The kitten will then have your scent. Should help fix the problem.

    Quick note, Herman is an old man with FIV who we've had since 2014. The others are all new. Mama Kitty showed up around 2023/2024 and is semi feral. Also, I live with my grandparents and Gma says only Herman is allowed inside. There is next to no negotiating this. Kittens may be "carried" through the house, but cannot freely roam. Outdoor cats do have other buildings they can use for shelter.

    I am trying to rehome several.

    They are sometimes allowed in the garage and they aren't allowed on the porch, but come in anyway.

    Herman (the only cat allowed inside) keeps wanting to go outside and the dozen outside kitties keep trying to get in the house. Herman does not give two 💩 💩 about the other kitties. It is a monumental effort to go in or out of the house.

    Rosie (year old spayed torbie) tries to come in too, but then realizes she hates everyone and starts fights IMMEDIATELY upon walking through the door. She recently squeezed her way into the porch, and starting smacking Herman in the face to the point he hid under a chair until I could grab her and plop her back outside.

    Waldo (year old male 🐈‍⬛) - keeps trying to start fights with his half-brother, Oliver (tabby and white). I was in the process of getting them ready to be neutered when their older brother, Louie needed a paw amputation. So that's on the backburner
    Waldo is currently staying I the garage because it's almost Halloween and he's a solid black cat who wanders. Also keeps going "after" his younger sister Millie (7 months).

    Oliver keeps going after the mama cat, and may or may not be (one of) the father(s?) of her current pregnancy. Yes Oliver (and all other outdoor kitties) is her offspring. 😑 I'm pretty sure Louie (from first known litter) is the father of Millie and her 4 siblings. 🫠

    Mama Kitty is on her 5th known pregnancy. My county just recently got a TNR program this month or maybe late September. There are over 1,000 people on the waiting list. I filled out the forms, but haven't heard back yet.

    We also have a duck we got from Tractor Supply as a ducking with several other for our pond. Several raccoon attacks later, he's the only survivor and REFUSES to go on the pond. He hangs out with the cats. If I yell "Kitty Kitty Kitty?!!" Guess who is the FIRST to show up? The freaking duck.

    Herman should not be allowed to mix with other cats, nor share their space. Herman is carrying a lethal disease and is highly contagious.
