What first world problem did you have today?

[lxskllr]

I suppose this counts since now I'm totally on edge after this incident.

My orange cat completely randomly decided to full on attack my black cat, and this wasn't just play fighting. He was completely attacking him claws and all, there was tuffs of hair everywhere and this happened in a flash. I grabbed him and put him in another room, somehow I didn't get scratched much but he did attack me in that process.

It kinda has me worried about what if he does that when I'm not around. That was really weird, they normally get along. They seem fine now though but keeping their distance from each other. .

After my stay in the hospital, the cats got weird. Without writing a novel, the girl especially hates the boy now. She always had little patience with him, but now her temper is about as short as mine. After one big fight, it's mellowed to the occasional short skirmish. Everything works well enough, but it isn't ideal.

tl;dr
The cats should be fine. They handle diplomacy in their own way.

I can't help but think of the first lyric in that hit song by Offspring "Come out and Play."

"You gotta Keep 'em separated!"

"You gotta Keep 'em separated!"

I dunno. The black cat may learn to defend itself?

Adversity is supposed to make organisms stronger.

This is true.

I've been allergic to cats for years. When my daughter was younger, I really tried to have a kitten in the house for her, but good lord I was miserable. It lasted about a month before we had to give it away to the wife's godmother.

May wanna try again with a shelter kitten or younger cat?

Key points to note:

Neutered cat releases less allergens.

Regular baths reduce allergens by up to 84%.

Keep them restricted to a specific room.

This cat breed has the lowest allergens: https://www.hillspet.com/cat-care/cat-breeds/sphynx

Yeah, not that pretty but it's supposed to be a fun cat.

One more thing, I would wash my hands with soap after touching them. Toxoplasma gondii is a potentially dangerous parasite. Personally, I don't touch my villa cats though I'm fine with them rubbing against my legs.

I held a sphynx cat once. It was weird.

How else was it different from a typical cat?

 

[KLin]

How warm it was. Fur on a regular cat really insulates you from the body heat a lot more unless you're holding it for a long time.

Now they're best buddies today. Cats are funny.

My two maintain an uneasy truce; mostly... No battles royale since the one time(that I know of), but I get hissing on pretty much every day that ends in "Y".

The boy's enormous and strong, but the girl's 6# of fury. I'd never bet against her, and when you get down to it, she's my favorite.

My work PC stopped working with my top monitor, no matter what I do. The top monitor works fine with my personal setup. Even tried to bypass the KVM. Everything I did, didn't work. So I asked my work if I can borrow 2 4k monitors from work and they let me, so I replaced my 2 side HD monitors with 2 4k monitors to make up for lack of top one, and I'm just not going to use the top one for work. I will still end up with 3 working 4k monitors and before I had 2 4k and 2 HD so this is an upgrade in the end.

I spent most of the day setting that up but in the process found out that I never kept the screws for the monitor stands for the old monitors, only 1 set of screws. Was going to try to make it work with just 2 per stand but in the process a screw fell inside the monitor, super dumb design, there's like a hole just big enough for the screw right next to where you screw it in. It looks like one of those designs like a phone where you need a putty knife or something to open it. I really didn't feel like dealing with that since I had a lot of work ahead of me to redo the desk and all the wiring so decided to just keep the monitor arms on the monitors. They are very awkward and hard to store like this and I really don't have room, so trying to sell them on FB marketplace as-is. The main FWP part of this post is dealing with people on FB Marketplace. Is this still available?
