Do the flowers come with extra cheese and pepperoni?

A little over a year ago, I adopted a female kitten. But she had (and still has) endless supply of energy. I once spent like 1.5 hours playing with her to tire her out and in the end I was the one to tire out. So adopted another female kitten 1 month younger. After the standard introduction, they got along fairly well. But even to this day the older one likes to bully the younger one whenever she's in the mood. After the bullying session (with comical yells for help) end, they'd often sleep right next to each other.

There are some crazy good models out there to download for free. I was just messing around and without much prompt engineering was getting pretty decent results. Give it another few years and it'll be even better no doubt

She was just super tired after a long play session, normally she prefers to curl up but here she just became a noodle cat

Is there another way of eating cake?

I have done that before. Its great before and during the cake consumption, but afterwards the regret sets in when your bloated stomach tries to digest the consequences of your actions

Just lots of scratch posts and reward positive behavior with treats and praise.

Also clipping their nails from time to time helps. Unlike declawing (which is basically a surgical amputation, and is basically animal abuse), nail clipping doesn't hurt the cat and isn't a permanent thing, but it does help with damage control

That I'm not really sure. I do know however that early exposure (from childhood) to allergens helps prevent allergies from developing later in life.

So people who had a cat when they were a child are much less likely to develop cat allergies when adults, and similarly children who eat nuts are less likely to develop nut allergies

Its actually a misconception, its not the fur thats causing the allergic reaction, its actually a protein the cats produce that can be found in their saliva. So when they groom themselves, the protein gets onto their fur.

Interesting fact, intact males produce more of this protein compared to female and neutered males.

Also, you can buy certain cat food that will help manage the protein (it doesn't eliminate or stop it being produced, it just deactivates the protein). So thats one possible solution for people with allergies. Though if you're super sensitive, it mightn't help much.
