I don't know what to do with myself half the time...

Little Falcon, I wonder if your cat is deaf because he is white. I know in (all white colored breeds) of dog - Bull Terriers, Boxers, etc. they have a very high incidence of deafness.

I believe that is the case, he is adorable and a beautiful cat, (as beautiful as persians can be) but I think that is the cause for his deafness. I love him though, I just stomp when I want his attention lol.

Love you kitty!

Thanks!

Adorable! I have a lot of fish, 2 cats, about 14 chickens, 3 pigeons, currently 4 dogs, about 20 geckos, 10 snakes, about 15 rats, about 25 mice, 2 legless lizards, 1 nile monitor and a hamster. Im pretty sure that is all. My cats are my favorite though and I don't think I would last very long if my male died, he is so sweet and adorable and I can't even put how much I love him into words. He is my profile pic. I love my female as well, but she isn't like him. My deaf lil boy.

By the looks of it you have enough critters to never be bored! LOL! Try meditation for boredom. It can also help you refocus so you can stay focused on your schoolwork when you start to mindfully meditate.

What dogs do you have?
Maybe you could take one of them for a walk, that's always fun, I take my 12-year American Akita out for walks around our yard, but his hips aren't good, so we don't walk long.

Wow I wish we could keep snakes and spiders here..... we have no snakes in this country! (New Zealand) so no chance of getting one as a pet
Do you have pictures of your snakes ??

Hi. I get bored sometimes too, especially in the winter when I can’t go outside as much to hike and kayak (my hobbies in addition to keeping chickens). Do you like to read? I keep a “Book List” on my phone of books that I’d to read. Most I can get for free via my local library (either by loaning an actual book or by renting one via their Kindle Library) or I ask for books for birthday/Christmas/etc. Reading gives me a chance to “escape” and use my imagination, a much needed escape sometimes now that I’m in my 30s and am an “adult” for most of the time

My mind is all over the place, but somehow I calm down and focus well on things like writing, photography, and painting my crafts. I like to read as well. Crafting something you are good at whether that be yarn work or making a bird house....if you enjoy it, try working on things like that when you’re bored and maybe even sell a few online! Try clicker training with the chickens, or call someone you miss to just say hello and check on them. Pick up a new hobby or sport. Go on a nature walk. Learn to identify cool local birds and other wildlife, and challenge yourself to identify birds by call alone! Write letters to folks and mail them- good old fashioned snail mail is a random treat to get for me! Too many bills and spam in the box- make someone’s day with a handmade card. Collect and dry flowers. Accumulate heirloom seeds for next planting season. Volunteer with an animal shelter if you can? Just a big handful of ideas I hope help and inspire you!

Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I like to draw and it seems to be one of the only things I can focus on for long periods of time. I also love to read but sadly I have no books right now and therefore no much needed escape from reality. I can no longer walk any dogs due to my mother having a bipolar moment and we just sold a couple of our dogs. We sold the dane, the pekingese, the border collie papillon mix, and we are going to be selling our applehead male chihuahua. We lost one of the boxer puppies to parvovirus as well. We are getting another puppy next week however, it is a Limburger pup and it is adorable! We currently have a rough collie, a boxer pup, a basset hound, and the chihuahua. Also, my favorite rat pair just had a litter of 11 tonight and I can't wait for the pinkies to turn into kittens and get their points! The buck is a dumbo ear, black eyed, blue point (seal point) siamese and the doe is a rex flame point himilayan.

Yes I have pictures and will try and post a few tomorrow, I have a tarantula as well and she is a little brat, but a sweetheart none the less! She is a GBB, one of the most sought after tarantulas! I had to save one of my snakes today, I had to sew the lid on the cage because she kept escaping and today she had gotten caught in the threads and I had to cut her lose. I am surprised she didn't cut herself! She is a gopher snake and she is in with a corn snake and the corn snake just watched her struggle with an expression that said, "You are an idiot." We also have a purple albino reticulated python, a kingsnake (not sure what morph), an apricot milk snake, 2 normal ball pythons, and another ball python that has a bunch of morphs but not that many hets and he is worth a couple thousand dollars (we got him as a baby for $250!), and on top of that we have 2 borneo short tail pythons! If I cannot get pics of all you can google them.
