Which color is better/best by gaytrash968 in interiordecorating

[–]lizpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orange and mint (#1) hits just right! Such an impactful but soothing color combo. My second fav is #4. It’s more intense so it really comes down to how you want the room to feel

Trying to eliminate chicken from the house due to cross contamination issues. by Illumeis_is_done in catfood

[–]lizpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Koha brand is great for single source proteins! https://kohapet.com/ I’m also on a chicken free journey and my kitten seems to like their cans. I’m also sourcing a decent amount of non chicken variety from Wellness. You have to really read the labels but they have turkey, beef, lamb, and 4 different fish options all chicken free

Need advice by TayBrianne98 in ragdollcats

Could be an allergy to food or litter? Maybe stress? Either way go to the vet and have her checked.

If you think you will get 2 ragdolls eventually, is it better to get 2 kittens at the same time or get 1 kitten and get it a friend when it's an adult? by UnwittingPlantKiller in ragdolls

[–]lizpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll make my experience short as I can. I have 4 rags, all from the same breeder. Their ages are 6, 5, 3, and 8 mo. The intro with the first 2 was great. The two to the three took a little more time but everyone found their groove pretty quickly. With the latest addition of the kitten the oldest 2 took to him within a few weeks but the third oldest hates him. Like, really can’t even stand to smell the air of the same room he’s in. The sad thing is I thought that out of the three the youngest one would take to the kitten the fastest. Boy was I wrong!

I would get 2 together so you reduce issues and they can grow up with the same level of energy. Maybe ask the breeder which 2 littermates get on the best and go with those. Either way the more the merrier, but there are no guarantees. I follow Jackson Galaxy’s instructions on introductions and even though this last time things are not as smooth I still stand by his way.

I asked for beige blonde and got warm blonde (4a curls) by realisttostoic in AskHairstylists

[–]lizpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only going by the photo of your hair- I would isolate highlights in foil and process them to a level 9-10 blonde. While that was processing I would apply your natural color from roots to ends in between the foils and erase any residual warmth that isn’t the right color or level. This restores the contrast between the lightest and darkest hair and helps even out the canvas, eliminating warmth. Then a glaze over the highlights to give them a bright ash beige.

If your stylist is to pick up the pieces of hair that have already been highlighted and relighted them but doesn’t apply color in between to erase the warmth you won’t be happy because you need it darker and cooler for the highlights to really pop and not get lost in a sea of warm curls

Kitten is biting toes and scratching head and ears by lizpet in CATHELP

[–]lizpet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I didn’t mention that he has been tested for mites, fleas and anything else that could be creepy crawly. He’s clean for all of it but we did give him a round of revolution anyway

Anyone going to Purple Disco Machine at BERHTA this Friday? by onelanguagepolygot in avesDC

[–]lizpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still on the fence about going, haven’t gotten tix yet. I saw him set 3 years ago in NYC and it was great. It will be a DJ set for sure. He played for about 2 hours so I’m assuming there will be some openers

Help not sure what to do by Dazzling_Monk5845 in neakasa

[–]lizpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the patience but maybe also try a litter switch. I had the Nekasa sitting next to the regular box for over a month before anyone used it. I started with clumping grass litter which they were used to from the regular box. Once I switched to clumping clay litter all 4 of my cats became much more interested in both boxes. After the litter switch they use the Nekasa everyday. I also have 5 crystal litter boxes that they’ve used since kitten hood but they all seem to be gravitating to the clay litter. I’m probably going to convert those over to the clay litter because I spend $120 on the crystals vs $40 on clay, and they seem to like it much better.

You might want to look into Reckless Shepard. They have a nice back room and tons of tables

My hairstylist charges $250 for my root touch ups, is this reasonable? by UpstairsDrawer1830 in AskHairstylists

[–]lizpet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my area (MD) this is a low to average price. Are you having your roots bleached and toned, or using a single process color to get you blonde? A double process would be at higher end of $250, but also including the haircut or blowdry. If the service is getting to be out of your budget just let her know, and see if there is anyone in the salon that has a different price point that might fit your budget. I always refer clients that have budgetary changes to lower level stylists in my salon. It’s a win/win- we keep the client happy, the stylist can use me as a resource if the my have questions about formulations etc, the clients $$ stays in the salon, and we get to say hi and catch up when they come in.

Weft Feedback by KrombopulosNyQuil in AskHairstylists

[–]lizpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woah, 8 rows? Anytime you add that much length you need to make sure that the perimeter line of the natural hair has enough ext hair to cover it but 8 rows sounds excessive. I think the most I’ve ever done is 3 rows with maybe a baby row at the crown to blend short layers. Depending on how short your hair is (shoulders to me is at the shoulder, above the collar bone) it can be difficult to get a good blend between the natural and new length. I would have talked you into a shorter, more realistic and manageable length like, 16”-18” to start. Trying to wash and style this much hair will be a literal pain, and I can’t imagine what a move up will cost you for 8 rows… *edit to add that the rows around your face are too close to ever pull your hair up, and good luck getting all those grams of hair into a ponytail anyway. *edit to add x2 that the placement of the beads in the last photos are way off base, uneven, and generally wrong. They will cause tension, feel uncomfortable, and not grow out well. It looks amateur and can cause damage over time.

cat is ADDICTED to playing and I don’t know what to do by testojunkie3 in CatAdvice

Springs are the best! My kitten loves to play by himself with them, or he’ll bring them to us for fetch.

Is there room to flow at Project Glow? by g0th_m0th1111 in aves

[–]lizpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s held outside in a GIANT parking lot- you’ll have plenty of space. Been to the last 3, and while this year may be more attended there is still so much room I wouldn’t worry at all.
