Hello,

I am training my two cats. One of them more skittish than the other.

I've (tried to) train them to wait before eating because I give them a half can each and it takes time to split and I don't want them making it harder than it is by trying to eat it while its not ready.

When I say wait, they wait, and when I say eat, they are allowed to eat.

But I think I have traumatized the more skittish cat, I was giving them some treats and I said wait. The skittish cat just walk away from the food and hides when I approach her and won't eat the treats. I'm scared this is associating treat = bad.

She does the sane thing, curiously when I feed her some dry food. We have an automatic feeder. If I feed her manually she is fine. If the automatic feeder turns on, that is also fine, bur if I manually start the feeder, she won't way until you are gone from the area and won't let you approach her. I think this is triggered by the beeping noise of the feeder when you manually start it.

I don't know how to fix this, my other cat seems totally fine and has none of these issues.

The skittish cat is very close to me though, I raised her since she was a week old, could this be a factor ?

Please help!

One if my wildest idea is to create a solarpunk movie, with the people from this sub.

I feel that it shouldn't be about solarpunk per se, but set in it. With enough mentions and clear shots of that kind of society and culture that people would go " why don't we have this"

I think the future most imagine right now is pretty bleak. I want to give people hope and vision for a better future, one that we van achieve if we start now. Solarpunk is that hope.

And while movies aren't really a concrete change, they are the seed that while eventually bloom into it. And I hope that by making it we can also come up with solutions to make this real.

Anyways if you are interested, in you went to be an actor, write, producer, if you know anything about movies or if you simply want to help, just let me know!

Let's all think about what this could be about and how we can make it !
