I can't comment on anything, as I understand there's lots of behind the scenes action going on, but could you add a positive note with a pic of the cats (if that isn't a privacy issue of course)?

In /s/Cats I shared when I got them. They started a HUGE paradigm shift for me then. They started climbing fucking everything so I had to take radical action. Over the course of a couple months I've rearranged almost everything in my place, in a demented kind of Jenga/Tetris game. I built shelves high around the top of one room exclusively for them and reconfigured my place with purpose rather than chaos. I've been meaning to take photos of them in their new habitat but alas, I got only about 7/8th finished when I hurt my back about 6 weeks ago. I've also taken on redoing the storage, workshop, and am making a year-round indoor basement garden.

Bonus

They are so adorable that I understand why they take up so much of your time :-)

LOL. They my fam.

I had needed to seriously rearrange everything for many reasons. All will be shared soon enough with photos, when complete, for anyone who cares. I needed a better work space, storage, server room (new), social area (new), work shop (new), year-round garden (new), cat nests (different), and second standing desk (new), and reorganization.

When they first got here, besides climbing all over everything and being freaked out by the new environs, they used to sleep cuddled up. I wish I'd taken photos. Now they stay apart, occasionally get close, and hiss which in turn gets a hiss then they swing their weapons. I don't want to finger and genital mutilate them but I will when I can afford it to let them be friends again with only teeth to fear.

Probably they are into their teenage phase right now, young cats tend to use their nails too much without even realizing it. A friend uses a fingernail clipper designed for cats from time to time, but they are so well behaved that he only does it because otherwise they will destroy all curtains. And if they don't want to be friends, there's no way to force them otherwise, as is the case with everything cat related :-)

Yes, I'm convinced cats are autistic.

      /u/PrettyPenny is 31 minutes old and managed to find this to comment on, /u/magnora7.

      I'm an atheist who despises manipulation and deception and ORGANIZED RELIGION is exactly that.

      Picking on non-existent Gods is the lowest hanging fruit of skeptics. I grew out of fighting religious idiots years ago.
