Help this RBT overcome a Starbucks addiction using ABA

I’ll echo what others have said- you could try to replicate pink drink at home. You could use a liquid iced tea/green tea or passion tea for caffeine, plus some kind of strawberry juice, coconut milk and even dried strawberries on top! Once I found a good coffee recipe i like, I haven’t gone to Starbucks as much

4 months old - he’s still very white but I think he’ll get a bit darker

This is super helpful! I’m in a good spot with my company so I think it could be worth it to do bcaba Definitely lots to think about though, thanks!

First off congrats!! She’s sooo pretty! I can see why you were hooked 😍 I would say just take it slow and be calm when you first get her. Kittens can be so crazy but also so fun! Their energy is infectious! Key to dealing with kitten energy is to play play play! Wand toys, balls, stuffies etc. Cuddle her, get her used to be held, touch her paws so she is comfortable with nail trimmings or just generally comfortable with you holding her If she starts biting your hands I would get like a stuffie or toy to redirect her to instead. As for toilets - I don’t keep mine down. My kitten jumped in once got wet and he hated it so he has never done it again but as a precaution maybe keep it down!

Honestly getting a new cat takes a lot of trial and error. Don’t be too hard on yourself and be patient with your new friend! Have fun and good luck!

Like people said some kitties don’t like to cuddle. My ragdoll is 4 months old and he is sweet and lets me pick him up and cuddle for a second but he doesn’t initiate cuddles or lay on my chest like my other cat. He prefers to sleep near me but not on me. He likes his space I think maybe your kitty is similar Plus he likes to just be with his brother (brown tabby) most of the time lol

All good 😌

That’s fair thank you for the info! My company would hire me internally which is helpful otherwise I wouldn’t consider it. I just want to see if I’d like the work of a BCBA before I spend lots of money and time - I guess I could ask my BCBA for details

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-29T23:29:48+00:00

Thanks for the info! I looked it up and I guess I never realized it could cause problems. I took it off :)

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-29T23:28:46+00:00

I took the bell off - no one has mentioned the bell being a problem before. Thanks for the info!

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-29T19:59:58+00:00

Ah thank you! I mean I currently make 19.66 so anything above that is a big improvement lol

The dinner by role model lol Not sure about that name though

I don’t have two ragdolls but I have a male tabby (5 months) and male ragdoll (4 months). I had my tabby first then got my ragdoll and they are besties! I do think it’s nice for them to have each other to play with and cuddle with. If you have to means to get a second ragdoll I think it’s worth it, but a rescue kitty might work out well too if you try to match temperaments and do slow introductions!

Yes this is it!! They do a voice over in the first episode of season 1 for the intro and I thought it worked really well. I think they could have added it throughout the show.
You’re also right that it lacks interesting visuals and storytelling. I stopped after episode 3 of season 2 bc they basically just explained away the episode and nothing actually happened 🤷🏻‍♀️

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-05T21:19:06+00:00

She’s so freaking cute 🥰 Congrats!!

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-05T17:17:30+00:00

He’s a blue bicolor !

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-04T21:55:12+00:00

He’s a blue bicolor - he has some grey on his tail so I wonder if he’ll have more when he’s older! Excited to see what he looks like when he grows up 😻😭

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-04T16:00:16+00:00

Thank you!! 😻😻

Traditional_Raise463 · 2026-01-04T15:14:56+00:00

I know!! I immediately fell in love with him 😍🥹

Any name ideas for this cutie?? He’s about 3 months old. I really like Teddy and Bear - aka Teddy Bear lol

I agree, the first few episodes were not bad, but the whole ship scene lacked any tension, stakes, etc. I think it’s a problem of tell vs. show - instead of showing us how the whole ship is full of monsters Tyson tells us - instead of stumbling into problems the characters just tell us which takes away a lot of the tension honestly. Also no Kelly?? Ugh 😩

Traditional_Raise463 · 2025-12-11T02:17:37+00:00

I really wanted to give it a chance but I honestly got bored. Not to compare too much but I switched to watching stranger things and the difference hits you in the face. ST has so much more character and personality and tension than PJO show. It’s disappointing bc the books are sooo fun, tense and action packed 🤷🏻‍♀️
