I'm also going for Brutes *fingers crossed*

It didn't reset so that's great! the little one, 7 day cycle for an item did but not the big one for the 100k.

Laaaaame! ?
Oh well, at least I can blame my streak break on daylight savings instead of myself this time. ?

It resets it back to the beginning unfortunately ?

Sadly, I am also glad to know that it's not just a problem on my end.
Misery loves company smh lol

i came here to post about it 
yeah apparently there is no fix
i was 2 days away from my 100k (like in those movies - dramatic music plays whenever a cop is shot down and he's 2 days away from retirement) 
tell my wife & kids .. ur daddy died broke .. with no NP to feed his 'Pets 

I'm quite sure, considering how altruistic cats are *cough cough* that they're just trying to help us poor furless creatures by providing us with a coat of our own. ?

@Duma You sound like a great kitty mama!
I wonder what it is about that front part of a couch that's so much more appealing for scratching that anything else though... it's intriguing!
I've seen homemade scraching things made from cardboard, a great way to re-use Amazon boxes etc.!

The marking of territory always happens with male cats that haven't been helped as far as I know. Of course with 2 or more cats it will happen more often too. But for the getting along it doesn't really matter. A lot of female cats are just very fierce towards other cats. I don't know if it's true but that's what I've been told and been reading online. I haven't really experienced it myself. I think the race would matter too and of course the personality of the cats involved.
About the clawcovers, I've never heard of them before. I think it's a bit weird but I would understand for indoor cats. For sure it's better than removing their nails! My cats need their claws, they go outside and have to be able to climb out of things (wouldn't be a first time they fell into a little crook of water). They also climb trees a lot and hunt and there are also other cats around that would attack them, even in MY yard. So they need to be able to defend themselves as well. As far as I can tell they're at least standing their ground now against full grown cats even though they are not even 1 year old.
They are cats, they have claws, they are mischievous. I was fully aware of that when I decided to get them so I accept everything that is part of having cats, good and bad. If I get new curtains I will make sure they don't go all the way to the ground. I'll have them on a length that it covers the window part and that they have an easy way to get behind them. I'm observing their behavior and I will adjust my house so that both them and me can be happy.  As for the couch, that they will just have to learn. Learning, no, I'm saying it wrong, they KNOW what is allowed and what isn't, but getting them to act accordingly is something that will take LOTS of time and patience.

OH! Found something buried deep in my Photobucket...
This is one of my former boss's cats, a big ol' ginger tom who'd apparently hold his paws out to get his mani done... Claws trimmed and covers put on while he's falling asleep basically, I don't think he's actually a cat at all! ?

What do you guys think about claw covers? This fella didn't mind them in the least, but that's not something you could say for most sofa-shredders, is it! ?
Would this be neutered boys? I'd think it would have to be, I'm imagining very literal, er... peeing contests otherwise. ?

OMG those pics are ADORABLE @Smashcash
And no they are not from the same litter. They were both rescued as kittens from the street by the same shelter but not at the same time. When I went there to pick two kittens they warned me that Yuki was hissing at other cats and they weren't sure if he would behave well with Yoru. Yuki would have had to stay a bit longer in the shelter to socialize as he is a bit older but was found later by the shelter. But from the moment I've had them they were getting along perfectly and they still do. They have both been helped by the shelter before you could pick them up for adoption so that was really cool.
BTW: Edward and Winry are very nice names and they are just so very very cute in those pictures. I know I've mentioned it first thing but I just keep staring at them. ❤️
Also I've heard it before that it's easier to have two male cats together than having two females or a male and female. My parents used to have a brother and sister and that went fine but maybe we were just very lucky back then?

@Smashcash Hahaha Edward's so cute! Is the mouse his favourite toy? Perhaps he is dreaming of belly rubs ?
@Duma  Awww look at them all cozy on your legs ? I understand the difficulty of trying to get a decent picture of them being playful. You need to be really sneaky about it. Sometimes I just start recording instead of taking photos and grab the most decent stills from the video.
@jellysundae Maybe you are right about fresher water lol. I've been thinking about investing in a drinking fountain for cats. Something like the picture below. But we're worried he will just play with the little water fountain and make a wet mess everywhere ?

All the kitty cuteness! ?
I wonder WHY animals drink from the toilet instead of their own water bowls... I know dogs do it too. You'd think it couldn't possibly be cleaner water, but as loos are flushed more than a water bowl is cleaned, maybe it is! Maybe it's more about fresher water. ?‍♀️

Edward is funny too, my cat Yuki does that too, either with his back legs facing the ceiling like in your picture or just facing opposite of his front legs. It looks so weird. Also, he will prefer to drink from a flowerpot filled with water for my waterlily than from his own water bowl. To drink from the flowerpot he is standing on the top of the back of my garden chair and on the edge of the flower pot (standing on wheels) while his own drinkbowl with fresh water is just standing on the ground, nice and easy to reach. He's weird but a big teddy bear. Whenever I'm watching tv he will come and sleep near or on top of me. Both of them are sweet though. Whenever they come back inside they come and find me meowing until I answer and pet them. After that they'll just go and sleep or destroy the house, whatever their mood is at that time I guess lol.
I don't really have the funny pictures because everytime I take my camera they get curious and come over. So most of my pics are from them sleeping/resting. I'm still trying to get really cute/funny/pretty pictures of them, preferable active ones to enlarge and frame. I've had 1 good session only to find out that I had my camera settings all wrong. The brightness was set all the way up so the pics are worthless. Especially the ones from Yuki as he is mostly white.
This is a picture when I just had them a few days:

And here is one I took last week while I was watching tv, btw, my legs are underneath them...:

Haha, as someone who came back after about a 10 year absence I know EXACTLY what you're talkin' about! lol.
Glad you decided to join the forum this time around, hi! ?
How old is your second little one? Real tiny at the moment?

We have two different types of bowl for him to drink from! We do try to make it a habit to put down the toilet bowl lid and ensure the door is shut properly (Marley knows how to push them open). But sometimes we forget and we will notice him coming out of the bathroom licking his lips all satisfied. Hahaha.
Ohh, maybe I'll try the wasabi paste on cables. Thank you for the tip!
Every time we successfully cat-proofed one thing. he will find a new way to destroy the house! ?

LOL, he's cute! And I'm guessing all (young) cats are like that. I adopted two kittens back in July 2018. The shelter estimated them to be born in April that year and I'm glad I didn't buy new curtains yet (Ruined like yours). I've put blankets and other covers on my (new) couch but the moment there is a little piece of it uncovered THAT's what they go for. The cable chewing, I've quickly been able to stop them from biting it by putting some wasabi paste on them. They hate stuff that has a strong smell. And like you, I have stuff for them to scratch everywhere. I have two welcome mats for them to use, a big scratching pole, a playmat with scratching patch, another scratching mat mounted on a wall in the kitchen and I build  a little corner for them (next to the couch) with fabric tiles on top and a carboard scratchtoy on those fabric tiles.  They never have to walk more than 5 meter to get to a place where they are allowed to scratch.
The toilet bowl is a weird place to drink though, I hope you make sure he can't drink from it when you just cleaned it. Unless you clean with something that's safe for him! I believe most cats settle down a bit around the age of 3. But ofcourse they are cats and they are funny, exploring and will always try to be a little mischievous.
In that last picture he's also looking with of face of "whoops, busted" Like he knows it's not allowed but wanted to try anyway.
I am glad to see that a cute little stray has been able to find a nice warm house. It's so sad when they are so young and alone on the streets.

We (my husband and I) adopted him back in April 2018 when he was probably around 6-8 weeks old? We found him outside our apartment building all alone, looking cold and pitiful with 'Puss in Boots' eyes. Little did we know, we adopted a little monster! ? His sole purpose in life is to annoy the crap out us and test our patience! He loves to scratch on everything EXCEPT his scratching post. And he has TWO of those (three if you want to count the scratching mat). Our couch and curtains are ruined. Hahaha. BUTTTTT he is slowly learning. Progress! 
He also chewed through my Macbook's flimsy charger's cable. I haven't gotten around to buying a new one because they are not cheap! lol. 
LOVESSSSS to drink from the toilet bowl ?‍♀️ We don't know why we even bother to put out fresh water in his bowl. 
He's quite adorable though. He loves to chase his own tail and is entertained by moving shadows.

Here's a picture of him looking at me as if I'm the crazy lady who likes to yell at him for no reason ?

I know that feeling! You know you've been playing for the longest time, time wise anyway and you used to know everything (or you thought so) about it but at the same time you see so many new things that you have no clue about what has changed. Luckily for you, we are all here to help so at least you don't have to figure it out by yourself or feel alone.

Hello and welcome to TDN's forums! Nice to see another "oldie" joining us. ?
In 13 years there's a lot new thingies to collect (avatars) or do (Trudy's). There's also the Lyra plot that's happening at the moment, but don't worry, it's slow enough to easily catch up if you still need to start at the beginning.

I can't even remember when I started my first Neopets account, but my current one I started over 13 years ago, after my first was born.
I played steady all through maternity leave (during nap time of course :p) and through my lunch breaks and slow times when I went back to work.
I can't remember why or when I stopped playing (memory seems to be a common theme with me haha) but every once in a while I would pop in and play a few games and do my dailies.
Here I am again, 13 years later after baby #2, for another round!
Happy to see that TDN is still going strong and wondered why I never used the forums during all these years so here I am!
any tips, tricks, new goings on, sweet new avvies to collect, or just chatting, I'm all ears... errr... eyes?!!
