Hello old friends 👋

It’s…complicated But it started with a dream I had (Twilight 2.0 much, lol) about a vampire queen having to get married in order to escape an assassination threat. So she marries her human friend. I built up all the whys and hows around that, et voila.

Sometimes the most cliché or obvious can be the absolute best. Especially in romance stories. Is it a three-way love triangle with the lead assassin thrown into the mix? Everyone knows the assassins are always hot as hell

@alcoholandcaffeine

Omg Karel is an adorable chonk and your place looks greaaaaaattttt

Thank you! I really tried to make it homely. There’s always more little touches to add, but I’m very happy here. I feel safe (usually)
I got Karel another food puzzle toy and a laser toy yesterday. He loves the laser (to my surprise) and chases it around the house at full speed. Time to properly work some of that chub off. The food puzzle is neat, but after trying it one time, he’s now really fast at it. I may just alternate between various puzzles and such to give him something to do. Another food-slowy-downy thing (like a plate but with dulled spikes on it) keeps him from devouring it all instantly, but it doesn’t take much thought or puzzling.

I was going to say no, but then I realized I’m not quite sure There is a kind of triangle, but whether that has anything to do with the assassin remains to be seen… I’m still writing it, so things might change along the way.

That’s homes for you

Sounds like he’s a very food-motivated kitty I don’t have a cat myself, but I have friends with cats, and I honestly find it really hard to keep a cat ‘fit’. They’re inside all day and most of them won’t even go for walks if you try to take them (not to mention that it might not necessarily be a good idea, lots of pests and such outside). Of course they’re gonna get chonky

You would not believe how bad it is. His sole motivator in everything he does is food. The first week and a half, he only gave me attention if he thought he could get food. When I didn’t give him any, he destroyed my carpet or ignored me. Even now, even though he’s on a strict food schedule and knows exactly when he’ll be fed (when the alarm goes off or when I go to bed/get up), he begs throughout the day

I’m mostly afraid of unleashed dogs. Sure, Karel will be leashed, but dogs can be incredibly fast and dangerous and I can’t easily pick up a 8.3kg cat.

You say that, but have you considered the Siamese?

Yikes! Our dog is like that, but she has a whole yard to burn off her energy and pick up (occasionally questionable) snacks. I was wondering whether your chonk could learn tricks based on food rewards, but I imagine that’s especially difficult with a cat. But anyway, props to you for handling it all!! I’ve been thinking of a getting a dog by myself in my apartment and I haven’t because I’m worried I wouldn’t be able to handle that.

That’s fair. And oof, 8 kilos - that’s definitely heavy for a cat

HELLOOOOOO,

I don’t think we’ve met before but I’m Rita! I was on wattpad forums but I don’t think we crossed paths. It’s nice to see you back here! I recently returned as well.
