A few months ago there was some kind of mantis/stick insect in the garden. She laid an egg pod and disappeared. Well apparently today the egg pod hatched and there’s about 30 tiny baby mantis crawling up the wall. I’ll try and get a decent photo to post.

Always love seeing the mantiseses in the chilli patch sometimes. Truly apex ruin other insects day up there with ladybugs.

Giving boost a try. Seems as good as sync, except for the seeming lack of swipe options.

Bill Cat ate Ted’s dinner. Ted has new dinner and Bill Cat’s fave food has been put away. Bill is a bad boy. 🤨 Bill is looking for his dinner. 🤭 ( it’s in the fridge )

Could this be solved with serving them the exact same dinner in larger portions? ie is it about the food itself, changing his preferred taste or increased hunger?

Or is it a dominance behaviour? (I’m a cat person but the cats always were adopted/grew up together or came to me as an only cat. So I don’t have personal experience with introducing new cats.)

Maybe the boys need to be fed the exact same thing, have both flavours halved between them, or be separated at mealtime.

in the past Bill wouldn’t eat tinned cat food and Ted doesn’t like Bill’s fresh meat. So Bill is really being out of character here. It’s Bill being a shit head.

But yes, I am going to give them exactly the same from now on. If Bill doesn’t want it , too bad.

He’s jealous and insecure. His mum is feeding a new guy! He steals the dinner to fill a strange emptiness in his heart.

When it rains it pours, on top of covid now I find out that my flight’s been cancelled - just as well I guess, might as well leave earlier since I can’t do much today and there’s showers in Brisbane to boot.

the secret is lots of lemon , mix in mild honey to the hot drink and an extra tsps of sugar to counter the sourness
