As I would expect of an Odin.

It's why I named him that. Idk if he has an official name to everyone else, but I've named all the barn cats and other horses.

I believe Odin is his official name. I documented it in the chat minutes and updated the database.

Aw heck yeah

My kitten was the same. She was just a ball of energy, always wanted to run and play, and assumed if you were trying to touch her it was in play.

One day I pinned her to the ground and started petting her. Totally blew her little 7 week old mind, she has been desperate for pets and the most affectionate lovey-dovey cat I've ever seen ever since.

Well yeah. You gotta creep up on him while he’s Odinsleeping.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's the thing, tho, iv never seen him sleep

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Give him treats to earn his trust

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Idk if he'd accept them or if I'd get swarmed by the 15 other barn cats lol

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I love Odin.

Lol that's adorable! Odin not demanding attention is honestly kind of a good thing because he lives at a horse barn and is liable to get stomped on if he's underfoot.
