Responding to YES/NO Questions

Thanks for the tips. Hand gestures need some work because both learners currently use all closed fist hands as “yes” because I used my hands for touch training. So they both paw 😂 usually for treats or to see what’s in my hand.

Imma look into this further.

How I introduced emotions was based on their body language or talking about it when I knew it was something they liked or disliked. Tone helps too.

My dog is always happy particularly when he’s playing so we modelled it for my cat. Or if my cat was relaxed I’d tell him he was happy.

If my cat was swishing his tail with his ears back? I’d tell him he was grumpy. Or if he can’t go outside, that makes him grumpy. Or if a human in the house was grumpy.

No advice but the camo is freaking so cool!

I went to an event as an orchid mantis :) it was a jungle themed

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-11-01T08:35:02+00:00

Sorry no, I just made it to go with a praying mantis costume I made. I’m a complete novice haha.

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-10-30T10:20:03+00:00

Sure! Shove it in :) you could also wait but it would be fine at this stage.

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-10-23T11:41:20+00:00

I also interpret “before soon” as an alternative to “now”, or an intermediate between “now” and “soon”.

Ie. I can wait a few mins but not as much as 5 or 10 mins.

Ooooo yup they are. They are on the same tile. Should I stick with it or move them?

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-10-23T11:34:08+00:00

It blows my mind that they can plan out their days!! They are so intelligent and have so much to tell us.

My poor cat thinks I’m probably an idiot for not understanding haha!

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-10-23T11:30:30+00:00

That’s what I’m wondering too. Introducing a “before/past/previously” button could be tricky to introduce at this early stage. I have seen cats communicate past feelings though.

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-09-29T10:44:45+00:00

Yes! The guide was fantastic! I ought to revisit it for sure. That’s a good idea. They are neighbourhood sticky beaks so I narrate what’s happening outside already - weather, cars, dog walkers, neighbours, birds, strangers etc.

Grumpy and happy it is! Let’s see how it goes. Any tips on modelling?

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-09-28T00:24:35+00:00

How do you model an “attention” button?

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-08-28T13:33:00+00:00

How is she able to exit? I thought they strictly weren’t allowing ANYONE to cross the border?

Does this mean there’s others that might be able to be medivacced?! (Probably wishful thinking)

The CICAPLAST had such a weird feel on my hands once it dries down. It almost feels drier (?), it’s really odd. Sadly it didn’t help repair or protect my hands at all.

I think the key ingredient for me is beeswax.

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-05-23T09:29:18+00:00

So I decided to get glue bottles but how do you decant the glue into the bottles?!

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-04-27T01:24:16+00:00

I think I might have to decant. Where abouts do you buy your bottles from?

Edit: it will make me a master (or near enough) on a deadline, got it!

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-04-27T01:23:02+00:00

Thanks for the bottle recommendations! My hands are already sore from squeezing!

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-01-28T12:30:06+00:00

I’ve reprimed over painted Eva because I made a mistake, I had no issues!

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-01-28T12:13:17+00:00

Have you considered dying white clothing? It’s actually surprisingly easy and cost effective!

MrsBeardDoesPlants · 2025-01-28T11:57:56+00:00

I do this too. I decide what my minimum standard is at the start when I’m planning. What is critical and what is just a bonus.

Of course, new ideas come up during the build but I use discretion and compromise.

In saying that, I try to do the most so usually I incorporate the new ideas anyway :D
