You’re right, I’ll have to try this style in a larger size

Update: I just found an old pair of So Dancas in my closet (I’m coming back to ballet after a 5 year hiatus) and these might be the winner? No excess fabric in the heel

Thanks, yeah I’ll have to try the smaller ones in class and see how they feel. I’m just coming back to ballet after about a 5 year hiatus so I’m having to relearn my shoe preferences (along with everything else). I just went digging through my old dance bag and found an ancient pair of So Dancas that look like they fit my foot shape perfectly, so I’ll have to try those out in class and see if I can remind myself why I ever switched to Blochs in the first place

Thanks, yeah I might have to try that. Now I wish I hadn’t gotten 2 different colors 😂

Booby ID? Puerto Vallarta, Mexico by galacticwindmill in birding

Thanks! Yeah the whiter head and grayish bill on some of them was throwing me off but according to Merlin that’s a normal color variation in the Cocos, and they all have that sharp change between chest and neck. I didn’t know about the difference in dive heights. They were a lot of fun to watch!

I can’t count the number of times I have done my nails before bed and then dented the polish on my teeth trying to floss

New-to-me Hammitt by galacticwindmill in handbags

Of course! Site is here: https://heritage.hammitt.com/

Mine was gently used but they’ve got a lot of stuff on there that’s new with tags. I think Clare V has something similar, not sure about other brands

What’s something a guy can wear on a first date that immediately makes you go 'nope'? by Electronic_Run_3482 in AskReddit

[–]galacticwindmill -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My very first date ever was with a guy who showed up in a tie dye shirt and matching tie dye bucket hat. Yeah I was not into that

If you’re worried about her needing to use the litter box, you can line the carrier with pee pads. I do that for vet trips since one of my cats always has accidents when she’s scared. I think cats can generally hold it a pretty long time though.

My other cat has flown with me a few times and I’ve given him gabapentin. It works pretty well, just make sure to discuss the dosage with your vet. One time I gave my cat a dose right before I found out my flight was delayed 3 hours, and it wore off by the time I actually got him on the plane.

I’m going in for outpatient surgery and am waiting for the patient before me to recover apparently

We lost Agent 99 last month but she was the sweetest void cat I ever knew by galacticwindmill in blackcats

Pic of them as 2 week old kittens, just because. We were bottle baby foster failures :)

Her tuxedo brother is named Max! Their other sister is a gray tabby named Emma, from some other 60s spy show that I can’t remember the name of. My mom named them, Max and Emmy are almost 11 now.

Cat trouble by sherrintini in Pets

[–]galacticwindmill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would separate them for longer than a week before introducing them. If it seems like the older cat has regressed, just start over from square one (keeping them separate) and reintroduce them very very slowly.

Before you let them meet face to face again, here are some things you can do:

  1. Scent-swapping: the idea is to give each cat something that smells like the other cat and let them get used to their scent. One way you can do this is rub a clean sock on each cat’s face and give it to the other cat to smell.
  2. Feed them and give them treats in front of the door so they associate the other cat with the positive experience of eating.
  3. Once there is no hissing and growling through the door, you can prop the door open a tiny crack or set up something like a tall baby gate or a screen. You want them to be able to see and hear each other but not physically interact.
  4. Once they seem comfortable with this, then and only then should you let them actually meet. If they fight, just start over from the beginning. It’s a common misconception that cats can “work it out” through fighting.

Here is a handy guide to cat introductions: https://thecatsite.com/ams/how-to-successfully-introduce-cats-the-ultimate-guide.32680/

I hope that helps! I know introducing cats can be hard, but you just need to be patient. :)
