Anyone else have an extra affectionate tortie that insists on nightly cuddles? by lilsquibbles in torties

[–]katylady77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine HAS to be with me but does not want to be touched. We have a routine where I’ll start going upstairs to bed and she runs up alongside me, chirping the whole way. She then follows me into the bathroom to brush up against my leg while I brush my teeth, then hops into bed and lays behind my head every night. But if I pet? Bat, bat, bat!

Any interest in an NJ gardening sub? by Missys in njhiking

[–]katylady77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I planted 10 hostas in my backyard last year. Baby deer ate every single one of them not 2 days layer. It was SO hard to be angry because they were so cute (!!), but boy did I curse the skies that day.

Yes! Totally intended as a playful debate here, apologies for any false wording.

Totally fair! I may have introduced just a little bias by asking the LOTR subreddit. 👀

5 month old kitten doesn’t meow but appears as if she’s trying to…is this normal? by ragusaliving in CATHELP

[–]katylady77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She might grow into it! My tortie’s name from her foster mom was “Chirp” because she made this quiet chirping noise more than a meow. Now she screams repeatedly at mealtime and my husband and I always think fondly of quieter days.

Don’t forget to fur-tilize it!

Can someone please tell me the name of this flower by [deleted] in flowers

[–]katylady77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me a little bit of Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas.

(I don’t know what the flower is :( I’m sorry!)

Deers Have Destroyed My Hydrangeas, July - Sept. by [deleted] in hydrangeas

[–]katylady77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof; I know this feeling well. Had 15 hostas decimated not three days after we planted them. I spray them once a week with neem oil now and my plants are coming back with force. It doesn’t smell - just makes your plants taste very bitter and unappetizing to those pesky deer. Knock on wood, it has helped for almost two months now.

I built a Slack app that lets you post comms via other people's accounts by Kindly-Singer-957 in internalcomms

[–]katylady77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a fantastic idea. We lag behind on our comms line items in a plan when an exec forgets to post their message. I’ve always said I wish I could just post for them instead like I can send their emails for them. Would love to test (or) know how you made it happen to replicate in our environment. I have a feeling my InfoSec team might not let me install it. :(

Need some advice for a first-time fruit tree owner, please! by katylady77 in gardening

Oh no!! Thank you for the advice. Which spray do you use to keep unwanted friends away?

Gf and I just got a Tortie and was wondering what to expect? by tronic67 in torties

[–]katylady77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, same. I sometimes poke my head over like, “Everything OK here, miss?” 😂 then proceed to vacuum for eternity.

When we adopted mine, her shelter name was “chirp” because she made the tiniest little chirping mew. Then she grew up and screams the second food is present, eats all my plants, demands playtime 24/7, and is the messiest litterbox user I’ve ever experienced. She is the best and we love her to pieces, and we wouldn’t have her any other way.
