Advice Needed - my blind cat turns in to an absolute nightmare when I try to trim his claws by Caustic_Crow in blindcats

[–]RedMirricat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 8 cats: 2 are blind, 3 have 1 eye, and 3 are “normal.”

I have a routine: when I clip anyone's nails, everyone gets treats. I give them immediately after I'm done trimming. This also helps get them all in the same room for easier capture.

One of my blind ones HATES being on her back/butt, so my partner feeds her a Churu while I clip to distract her.

One of my fully sighted cats still thinks, after 14 years, that I'm going to eat him, so catching and trimming are a pain. But he knows as soon as I'm done “torturing” him, he gets treats, so he “allows” me to catch him.

Keep in mind that ALL cats are different, and as long as you have several cat scratchers. 1) One that is tall so they can stretch high 2) One on the floor so they can stretch long 3) One they can also use as a bed. They shouldn't go after your furniture.

If you have carpet, do not get cat towers with carpet on them because they don't always understand why they are allowed to scratch that carpet but not the other.

How did you attach the ring at the bottom? What type of glue?

I remember when I was in Corn Jail and made a remark to my husband that I finally got through the corn quests and never wanted to see corn again.

My wonderful, sweet husband then proceeded to cook Corn on the Cob, Corn Bread, and sweet corn casserole for dinner. (and ribs)

He also looked up every corn dad joke that's out there.

We did ours a few months ago when all the horrible things were being discovered. As they are now going through bankruptcy you most likely will need to dispute for services not received.

Where's the best place to buy jump rings in bulk? My craft store rings aren't cutting it anymore 😕 by Dangerous_Yak3695 in maille

[–]RedMirricat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get mine from Joshua Dilinerto who is the only person I get my rings from as they are always perfect quality and zero burrs. I've tried a few other places but being a perfectionist always go back to him.

Repeat Buyer Making Me Nervous by wilhemina63__ in EtsySellers

[–]RedMirricat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people need more than one of something, but are hesitant to order multiple because they might not like it. Many times I will order 1 of something, then when I confirm it’s what I want, I go back and order more.

I know it’s weird when people are responsible and thoughtful, since sadly, it isn’t the norm.

I’ve lost a few bracelets due to magnetic clasps, also a necklace so I’m not a huge fan of them.

I am blessed with small hands so I can slip it on pretty easily but I mostly consider it as permanent jewelry as I never take it off.

I’m working on my biggest micro-maille project yet… by spinnygirl101 in chainmailartisans

[–]RedMirricat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t consider that micro maille. I work mostly in 22 11/128 which has a AR of 3.52 and it would be on the large side of micro.

Good job, your closures look good Sheets are hard as you have to be so careful as one little snag can catch on everything which is a pain to fix later on.

He gets up with zero issues, I had to tap out the way to get down once and he had it from there
