To start, I am not an expert, just a single 30 year old woman who has had cats for a long time (wait, does that make me an expert??), so this is just my two cents.

I wouldn’t call that a full on spat, tho it may have escalated if you hadn’t intervened so it’s hard to say, but overall I wouldn’t worry too much about that specific interaction. My two occasionally get in worse disagreements, often because Hashi is a gremlin (who I love, but fr he has a lot of vinegar) and has a strong inclination to intrude on Ripley’s space. Despite Ripley having to occasionally tell Hashi to fuck off, they still get along great like, 97% of the time.

Just reading body language, neither seemed to be too stressed out or upset. I feel like the feeding set up is a great way to give them positive associations with each other while ensuring they both have the ability to retreat if they want to. You could also take one of your resident cat’s beds or favorite blankets and place it in the foster’s space, ane vice versa, so that they can smell/investigate and get used to the other cat without actually being near each other. This plus time is the way I have introduced new cats to resident cats. The time will depend on how social- or not- either cat is, but more often than not they will acclimate eventually.

They are both adorable, btw 😍

I can see your point of view. Idk if you would consider this the same, but in this vein I really appreciated that Chappel Roan used her Grammy win as an opportunity to talk about the exploitative nature of the music industry, especially in the cases of smaller indie musicians.

But even tho Kendrick didn’t use his platform in a similar way, I still really enjoyed him roasting Drake again. Idk man, everything in the US sucks rn and it was nice to genuinely laugh yesterday

Also not a sports fan, but a family member told me I had to watch the halftime performance and I’m glad they told me, lol

Drake didn’t really do anything (besides his base level of being a pedo creep), Kendrick just used the platform to roast him again. It was beautiful.

It’s the face when you know what kind of opportunity you have, come up with the absolute best use for that opportunity, and execute that plan to perfection. Bravo, Kendrick 👏
