RE: Cats, life and other thoughts.
Hey there, we have two cats and they mean more to us than most else. Coming home to them waiting at the door, the way they roll over and want to play, just saying hello...The way they have their spots, (pretty much wherever they like) and the way they know our moods...I'd say they're more than cats. Ours certainly are to us anyway. I think it's the same for many with pets.
A user here I engage with a lot has had to put a much-loved pet down recently and it has been heartbreaking for him...It would be the same for us with ours and I assume most others too. They mean so much I guess.
not sure how to go about starting out... what would you advise?
Engage. Comment with validity, reply to comments and build relationships. Stay away from gimmicks and shitposting like taking a picture of a rock and calling the post boulder Wednesday and stuff like that...If it looks like a gimmick thing, it probably is. Write about what you enjoy and makes you happy. Write and engage with passion. Avoid posting too much, it looks spammy. Twice a day maybe is about enough...Not twice an hour. Understand what tags to use. There's a few tips that helped me out over the last two and half years.
Have fun. That's what it's all about. And engage.
Oh my word @galenkp I am so grateful for your reply. It really means alot when people climb out of the digits and into the tangible world if I may say so... also to continue the conversation about the beautiful little, and big, souls our beloved pets share with us, hell the story you're sharing about your friend sounds sooooo sad, I don't really have words for that, having had to be present for 2 of my own past pets' euthenasias still haunts me in my heart today.
And on your cats, what type/colour are they and how old are they now? Yes I totally hear you, hehe 😅 they have such unique personalities, plus the way they handle each person/owner differently.... Like me and Superbike_Z (my partner), little Neon treats each of us with her own specific way, such intent. They are too special for words I find.
Oh and then not to forget, thanks for the tips on enjoying steemit, really really appreciated! Sounds very simple and logical, like human actually. And doable. Thanks alot for real! Quick question on the tags, I struggle with that alot, not sure how to figure it out yet. Any ideas/suggestions perhaps please? Oh and honestly loved your comment on the pics with simple titles (wednesday boulder) hahaha thst really cracked me up as I was wondering what the heck those posts were suppose to mean, like is it steemain slang or something 😂
