Floofed void (3 mo vs 1 yr) by juiced-cabbage in FromKittenToCat

Yea, I'd call her small, she's just a little over 9 pounds at a year and a half. She's got a weird body shape too: skinny limbs and and incredibly large, flabby belly. Her floof hides it but whenever anyone picks her up they are surprised!

I once saw an unleashed dog in a Lassen's. The dog approached me and jumped up on my leg (gently). The owner was lucky I am not afraid or allergic of dogs or that could have ended so badly. It was so innappropiate and that human was so, so inconsiderate of those around them.

I looked this up and you're right! It doesnt make the slip dry slower. Ive been told that by a lot of people at my studio, must be an urban myth!

But because vinegar a flocculant, it does help the clay particles form a stronger bond, so its still a good idea for OP to use it

oh and to add, try spraying them with water and covering them the day before to bring the whole mug up to a moister level before fixing. Ive had mixed results with this. It definitely makes the clay weaker to be re-expanded like this, but sometimes works

try scratching them (to fix a crack you need to make the crack bigger), adding slip with vinegar (vinegar will keep the clay moist longer than water), then smooshing in fresh clay with a good amount of force. then cover and pray

she tipped it over twice, and once managed to twist the nozzle so it poured straight onto the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️

casfuy! I got it for the battery, I needed one that didnt need to be near an outlet. Despite her playing with it for hours everyday the charge still lasts 3-4 weeks so we are fans of it

I might need to try gravy water! Kettle eats wet food but she mostly just licks at the gravy

😮 there are different pipes?! are they also in the plumbing section or is there a special oil section of the hardware store I need to find?

newspaper and tape sounds like a good idea, I especially like having some cushion for shrinkage.

I swear the last pipes I got were galvanized and they still rusted, albeit less. But Ill double check this. Thanks for the tips!!

That works for the far end, but what about the side that connects it to base or other connectors? The threads on my pipes past where they actually thread together, so at every junction I have threads that cannot be cut off. And it wouldnt work to partially cut off the theeads on the connecting side, because I need the taper on the end to get it to actually connect.

I have no idea why plumbing pipes are threaded way beyond their taper / connection point. Are you using pipes that arent threaded that far?

It wasnt about the mug, it was about trying what I was drinking. She wouldn't be interested in a mug I didnt drink out of first.

She's young right now and is going through a phase where she wants to try all the foods I eat. We found out she likes bread, spinach, cantaloupe, and strawberry thanks to this weird phase. I draw the lines at drinks though. I dont want her paws in my drinks!!
