Luna beeps at me

I didn't even want to adopt another cat when I met Luna. I just wanted to volunteer at an animal shelter before the pandemic hit and she chose me.
She came out of her shell when she met me. She had been hiding from everyone before. Someone abandoned her outside. I was instantly drawn to her too because she reminded me so much of Myrtle who passed away just a few months before.

She was about 8 when I adopted her. It was a very difficult start with her. She was definitely traumatized and couldn't be picked up at all and would pee outside the box when something upsets her. And Kitty was not happy she was there and would bully her sometimes. I stopped going to the shelter on account of how stressful it was with Luna for a while. But things have improved and I still love her.

She's...an interesting character. I love her very much but she's been a challenge sometimes. Thankfully I've managed to fix most of the problems (aka put my foot down around mom who was causing some of her stress by not listening to me) so she hasn't had many accidents lately.

She's near impossible to medicate and I had to get two medication changes for her blood pressure meds. Pill - Liquid - Transdermal. And that still was a challenge and she would run away still and be inconsolable afterward. Wouldn't accept treats or pets or anything.

Until...I found out that she WILL forgive me if I SPANK HER BUTT afterward. That's the only way she would calm down after. Not gentle pets, not treats, but slaps on the booty. She's so weird. She's calmed down a lot and now will accept treats and pets after medicating but she still prefers to be smacked.

Torties.

She was afraid of Kainé when I first adopted her. This tiny, one-eyed creature half her size would chase her around and Luna would run away. But that was all part of the game for Kainé. It was fun! She eventually calmed down and actually loves Kainé now...mostly.

They'll cuddle and groom each other sometimes and play together. But Kainé is a pissant sometimes and won't stop when Luna's had enough so I have to step in and distract the weasel.

Luna used to talk ALL THE TIME. Creaky tortie meows. One night at ass o'clock Luna just kept screaming and screaming to go out on the patio but I wouldn't let her out because it was ass o'clock. Kitty was sleeping next to me and got up, walked over to Luna, and smacked her right in the face to shut her up. It worked...for a minute.

Since I adopted Kainé, Luna almost never meows now. It's really weird. Maybe she just doesn't need to talk to me as much now that she has Kainé.

She's a terrible animal and I love her very much.
