Critics are so dumb. Just remembering the new wave of critiquing how « immediate » and « now » some fiction is, while at the same time admiring how timeless and « current » something « old » is… it’s because you’re reading it Now. And there is only Now, and Now is all that is
Our previous rescue cat was so deranged we had an animal psychologist visit during my pregnancy and she taught us a lot.They’re obv not simple minded hibernating animals. I think ppl underestimate how much attention and play they actually need for wellbeing. Like even regular play, they need a treat or some food after to feel fulfilled they’ve caught their prey. They need to be played with everyday and climbing/privacy is essential. I think it’s easy to forget because they have a litter box, but yes. Having a cat is a huge responsibility especially if indoor. If it were up to me, I’d build shelving so he could climb up as he likes but a good tall tree is kind of the minimum and energetic play / reward every day multiple times a day!
