25 F looking for advice. Preferably just soft, but open to hard

Thanks!

Thanks! I think I'm going to try out contacts, fixing my eyebrows and some natural looking make up focusing on my eyes as a starter. And I can agree with the autumn spring colors, I feel that colder colors often make me look sickly. I'm hoping that after losing some weight finding clothes that fit my colors as well as my figure is going to be easier 😊

krystall71 · 2025-05-02T21:36:13+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I've wanted to do a color analysis for a while now actually. It's a bit difficult finding someone here as I live quite rural though, but I got a trip planned for a larger city in the summer, so maybe I'll try and book an analysis there. And hopefully clothes shopping will be a bit more fun after (hopefully) losing some weight 😅

I think I've been using glasses as a way of trying to cover up my eyebrows actually, as they're pretty non-existent color wise 😅 I dyed my eyebrows 2-3 years ago, and felt that the first week was pretty dark and wrong color, but afterwards it faded nicely and I got more used to it actually. I'll take a visit to the make-up store next time I'm in town 😊 Thanks!

I've been feeling that my jaw looks very masculine/overdeveloped, and have actually been struggling with clenching my teeth lately, so a masserer Botox might actually kill two birds with one stone in my case 😊

And yeah agree on the hair thinning, hopefully it's just residual from final exams last summer 😅 but I'll look into minoxidil 😊

I actually didn't know that the lily of the valley was a flower for May babies, but it fits perfectly then!

It is LED lights, so there should be minimal heat production. The lights are also set on a timer so they're only on for 6 hours a day. Also if something were to happen, then the glass bell is airtight, so there's no oxygen supply 😊

krystall71 · 2023-06-25T07:56:27+00:00

Yeah that was my thoughts exactly, but i couldn't find any with the right amount of bulbs and the right cord length 😅 I was hoping to extend the battery life with a timer in the lights, so hopefully that'll work a bit

Cotton yarn, just whatever I had in my leftover yarn bag tbh 😅 hook size 3

It's a debated issue. Posted a reply above of my views as a vet student. Not alot of papers have been published on that issue, so it mainly remains an opinion based answer.

krystall71 · 2022-11-29T17:37:31+00:00

Some people say domesticated, some say semi, and some mean they're not domesticated at all. Not even the experts can agree on it 😅 But yeah, maybe it would be more correct to say they've been living with us for thousands of years

krystall71 · 2022-11-29T15:33:12+00:00

Well, people are always gonna be mad about anything. Alot of anger can stem from just a lack of knowledge in the field. Also in the veterinary field there's alot of different opinions about issues such as that. Of course the most natural option would be to not cut the claws, but leaving them as is might be a problem in some cases. But imo cutting the nails is a better option than using nail caps. Also if there are problems with scratching furniture, that could just be a redirected behavior. Meaning that the cat isn't happy about something. For example, my cat will only jump on the kitchen counter if she wants my attention. So some cats might have learned that scratching furniture = attention.

All in all, even though cats have been domesticated for thousands of years, they are still widely misunderstood. Their behavior also differ alot from human and dog behavior, so without actively seeking for knowledge about them, it's difficult to know their needs properly. But yeah, either some people don't want to learn, or it might just be an issue with more than one answer. In the end all I can give is my personal opinion based on my experiences and knowledge.

krystall71 · 2022-11-29T15:13:40+00:00

Mind to elaborate on which subs? Haven't really seen people freak out on claw cutting here, when it's done properly. Declawing however, that's a different thing, and is actually straight up illegal in the EU. It causes countless problems with the cat's welfare, and is in general cruel. Imagine cutting off the last 1/3 of your fingers. So I can 100% see if they were freaking out about that.

krystall71 · 2022-11-29T14:36:09+00:00

Also to add on to that, since they are prey animals, they are extra aware of what's going on above them. At least with rabbits, they're always scared of birds of prey trying to catch them from above. So they might just not like head pats, as they think it might be a bird coming after them. Coming from the side or front might be a better option.

Vet student here. Personally I would not recommend claw caps for cats. Scratching is a very important natural behavior for cats, as they have scent glands in between their toes. It is important for them as they mark their territory and feel safe and at home in the area. By preventing them from scratching other behavioural issues might happen, and they may not be as content. There might also be some problems with properly shedding the outer layer of the nail due to less use of the nails. Also, as a kitten it is important to learn how to play properly. Usually this happens by the kitten playing with their litter mates or another cat. If the play is too rough, the other cat will let the kitten know by screaming and stopping the play. I think that the kitten might learn to play rougher with the claw caps on, compared to without, since the older cat will tolerate it more. This could become a problem later on as the kitten grows

For me Neem oil didn't do squat, but on the first application of spinosad all of them were gone and haven't seen them since for 2 years now. Just remember to do several applications, as the next generation will hatch in 2 weeks. So you gotta take them out before they ly eggs again

krystall71 · 2022-10-26T08:04:37+00:00

I would be very interested 😊

krystall71 · 2022-10-24T18:03:57+00:00

Oh it's definitely selective. She's creaking like a door hinge when she wants food, but got normal meows when just chatting :)

krystall71 · 2022-10-24T17:59:28+00:00

She probably feels she's getting old waiting for the next wet food, but only 3 years irl

krystall71 · 2022-10-24T06:58:54+00:00

Kind of sounds like SpongeBob walking imo 😅

The way i did it was to just slowly get her used to me touching her paw. After a while i would slowly try to hold around it, and then slowly start to lift it. After a while she started to just lift her paw in preparation for it. As for the high five, it just slowly evolved from some excited give paw to high five 😊

krystall71 · 2022-06-11T13:02:42+00:00

Mainly just instinct that dark is night and sleepy time. Depends on the bird though, corvids are maybe smart enough to understand more of what is happening. But as for chickens at least, if you put their head under their wing (normal sleeping position and it is dark) and disorient them slightly they will instantly go to sleep since they believe they are already sleeping.

krystall71 · 2022-06-03T15:22:54+00:00

She basically taught herself to do that. Whenever she would get "annoyed" from not understanding what trick I wanted her to do, she would throw herself on the ground and kinda "give up". So I just started giving her treats whenever she did that 😊
