North American Taiko Conference is a go! Time to get hype (I'm going to be so tired come sunday) and bang a drum! HOISA!

@ogo79 is to be blamed for causing global warming confirmed.

Aw yeah the first rain in months. And it lasted a full 4 minutes.

@Meowpheel Sounds like Florida, though it didn't rain here yet. lol

I think this was even the first real rain of the year. Though I'm not sure. Well, hurricane season is here, it won't be long before we get some more.. Ahem... Water.

In other news, I finally got the first book (of two) of the Twilight Princess manga and, in some kind of genious ironic twist, the entirety of the first book is... The intro of the game. Like really, the intro is so long it takes a whole book.

Ok now it's raining here....sun out and everything.
...I can even still see the sky, wtf...

It's been a bit dry here, we could definitely use some rain. I wouldn't say we're in a full-on drought yet, though. They keep calling for rain, but it seems to dissolve or head north/south before it gets here.

let there be rain!

I relate to your kittens...

(Just kidding hehe)

Anyway, I'm not a cat specialist so I'll just leave this link: https://thecatsite.com/threads/mother-attacking-her-kittens.2...

From what I've read so far It's not unusual behaviour

I guess it's her way to say "you're an adult now go get your own food".

....lol.
I would go for another kitten, but 1 is enough...Sanya isn't able to have kittens either, so...yeah. I wonder if dogs are same way.
Mamma Dog: barks and growls Why are these puppies still bothering me?!

@Meowpheel I'd kill for some sun this summer. It's been cloudy every single day with plenty of rain. Still a month to go, so who knows...

That sounds dreamy.

It could be the mama is trying to wean them. There's a female at my parents' place right now that displays aggressive behavior towards most cats right now. Still loves being spoiled by people, though.

Also, in response to the Goodbye/Vacation thread...Pot, meet kettle.

On the subject of kittens, my cat's two kitties are now very much miniature fully functional cats and they have adapted very well to living with the dogs.

I gotta admit we were very nervous when momma cat decided it was a good idea to bring them down to dog-level, but they are now basically invisible for the dogs.

They still won't let the mom get too comfortable (and she spends less and less time at home now), but the kittens? They might as well be dogs. They even sleep with them.

The pitbull still scares them a bit though, and they won't let her get too close. She's probably more afraid of them though... Considering their mom's immediate reaction to her was "seek and destroy".

Sanya and Turner (our dog, a dachshund, lol) usually go back and forth sometimes it's funny. Turner may charge at her for a couple of seconds before immediately stopping and moving along, with Sanya just sitting there. Sometimes he'll completely ignore her, and that's when Sanya decides to go after him...it's funny when she'll swipe at him without even touching him. Sometimes she'll just touch him instead. xD

4 months in cat time is like, "small functional almost-adult". Your babies are more akin to human pre-teens now.

She will (probably) eventually warm up to them again as soon as they stop treating her like a milk carton.

Kittens can start to be weaned at roughly four weeks and can safely be fully off their mother's milk at 8-10 weeks, which is usually when they're adopted out. Some mother cats will feed them for way longer, and as is the case at my parents' house, some of the older crew STILL like bumming off of the younger group's mama.

Somehow, the series I revved up on flipnote hatena now has a imdb page, which is for stuff & thangz for movies and tv shows and WAT not.

It's listed under "TV series" and has "been going since 2010", but the real leg kicker is the budget of 50,000 dollars, or maybe.......IS DAT HOW MUCH THE SERIES IS WORTH!!?!?!

......Alright, maybe i'm thinking in my head "I get at least three of each merchandise revved up, since i'm a swelltastically swelltastic kangaroo and also because I want toys of myself DARN IT!" since I want toys of myself DARN IT!
