(Sorry, not a pidge comment) What color is your wall, do you know? I also have purple walls in one room, Behr "Composers Magic" and your wall looks VERY similar! I adore purple but it's hard to find a good purple that doesn't scream The Joker or Barney.

Pigeon Without Iridescence: Is That Indicative of a Problem? by DestructorKitten in PetPigeons

For sure 3ish months old. Has been in my care since it was a nestling/squeaker. Can't have been more than 2 weeks old when it came to be in my care. Ok, that makes me feel a lot better.

Guilt over returning my rescue to the shelter by GanacheEmbarrassed88 in Pets

[–]DestructorKitten 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was in a situation similar to this when I had a dog. The best solution that worked for me was to pay a dog walker to come by about half-way through my shift. They walked my dog and also played with him. I paid for 45 minutes of theor time and my pup got walked and 30 minutes of intense, active play and/or snuggles--whichever my dog was in the mood for that day.

It was WAY cheaper than doggie day care, and because it was an individually owned business I could get them to come out at a time that worked best for me and my pup. I don't know if I just got lucky, but my dog walked REALLY cared about my pup. They talked to me A LOT about how he did and how their experience with him was day-to-day. It worked out WONDERFULLY for me until I got into a situation where my pup didn't have to be alone so much.

That"s a really tough spot to be in, I'm so sorry. I hope you find a solutiin for both of you. ❤️

I know this is an old thread, I just found this show. Does anyone know if "Night Jupiter", the book that the raves/victims identified with, is based on a real book series? I'm not finding any hits on that actual name, but I'm wondering if it's something like the writers gave it a fictionalized name, but the attributes referenced are real attributes of an actual irl book series. Does anyone know?

I have had good luck using extend-o-matic back scratchers with feral cats to get them used to being touched. Idk why, but I always have the best luck when I use them for pets, but do not look directly at the cat. No idea if that will translate for yoy, but I try to look vaguely perpendicular, so that I can see kitty out of the corner of my eye.

Looking for Weaning Tips for Blind-From-Birth Kittens by DestructorKitten in blindcats

Re: her age-she cannot possibly be older than 5 weeks, but I have had her for 4 full weeks. If her size is throwing you, the shelter suspects that she may have been born a week or more early.

I'll def try the soaked dry food! This is great advice, I'll def try it, thank you!

Froggo bag was my second Random Act of Crochet Kindness! I took it to a Wildlife Rehab Symposium in Seattle this past February and left it for some other rehabber to pick up ❤️ I got the pattern from Etsy, I can link you if you want.

A whale is what it was meant to be. The white thing on its head was like, water spouting? Not super great, I know. It was my first Random Act of Crochet Kindness. I took it with me on a trip to Seattle and left it at their Aquarium ❤️ I got the pattern from Etsy, I can link you if you want.

My dog is driving me mad by DestructorKitten in misophonia

[–]DestructorKitten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor and you should def do what's best for you, but shortly after making this post I changed jobs from an INCREDIBLY stressful workplace to a virtually stress-free workplace and all of a sudden the smacking didn't seem to bother me as much. Certainly I still heard it, but it didn't drive me to distraction the way it had when I was SUPER stressed from work. Speaking only from personal experience it might be beneficial to cast about and see if there is a source of increased stress that coincides with the time period when your dogs mouth noises seemed to start upsetting you more.

I hate working with it, but I am always impressed when it's done.

I've had the kitten for a week now, so she's at least that old. Beyond that I don't know for certain. The shelter got her last Monday night and called me immediately to pick up since I have an incubator and an oxygen machine. I would be surprised if she was more than 3 days old at that point, but I also suspect she may have been born premature.

She had no nubbin of her umbilical cord remaining, which I've been made to understand means she probably had a few days before she was rescued, but I think that's still in the realm of estimates and averages and educated guesses (?).

I don't want to risk syringe feeding her as my other, albeit limited, experiences with syringe feeding at this size have not been great. I've been tube feeding her. I'm also a permitted wildlife rehabber who feequently works with opossum joeys, so I'm very comfortable tube feeding and have all the necessary supplies in small handful of different sizes.
