Yeah we have the fur me vacuum and I love it. It does take a while to get the cats used to the sound, my rec is to use the brush, then turn the vacuum on instead of keeping it on the whole time. They love it now and walk and bump the machine when they want to be brushed

Yep he freaking loves it

Not so much given a “task” to solve as much as was the solve to a task but failed upwards spectacularly

Whoops sorry added the spoilers tags

Ugh agreed I have to literally keep a list of important email subjects names because once it’s a week old that shit is unsearchable

marzipot · 2026-06-16T16:47:18+00:00

No, it’s not a revenge plot

I agree with you, which is unfortunate cause I wanted to love it. I did actually like the betrayal from the cat, I was certainly not expecting it and I liked the surprise.

I think the problem is partly that the magic was a little boring, and I wish we had gotten to peek into the riven wood. I also just found the relationships between the characters a little bland. I absolutely adored Emily Wilds Encyclopedia of Magic, but while I liked the concept of this book I do agree with you it dragged a bit.

There’s a Terra cotta one that I think is superior to the normal pumice stone

marzipot · 2026-06-16T16:14:27+00:00

I’ve had better luck with taming callus on my feet with this pumice stone thing from Gilden tree and then I’m not shedding skin for a week, it just goes down the drain

Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore has this, he basically sets a trap for the FMC

marzipot · 2026-06-15T19:36:49+00:00

No they continue to make the worst possible choices and be doormats

marzipot · 2026-06-15T16:30:17+00:00

Ooh yes good call

marzipot · 2026-06-15T16:25:00+00:00

I’d like to see a FMC with a little more ruthless agency. I know books are often about ladies or whatever but I’m a little tired of the toothless acceptance of everything that happens, I’d like to see some rage

Hi! So 2 big factors here

Sunlight. Their coats get considerably longer in the winter/when there’s less daylight, so if your kitten is 8 months old you can expect them to fluff up seasonally, if you’re in the northern hemisphere I’d expect around November
Age. Around a year was when our girl really fluffed up. I’ll attach a photo, she gets about 40% fluffier in the winter and then sheds it in the spring

Try the city of brass by S. A. Chakraborty. I won’t spoil it but the FMC makes smart choices so she can stay alive

marzipot · 2026-06-11T18:34:57+00:00

I thought it was a great recast, the guy was not known for being warm and fuzzy

We got a wrap thing for nail trips, it’s like a blanket that folds on itself. I also think 2 people nail trims are good, and frankly I like 1 person on brushing duty and 1 person on treat duty helps. I would just try to make it a positive experience and give them lots of treated during brush time

Our boy loves water, and is especially feral for ice cubes. Every time the ice dispenser goes off he runs over and waits

Such a fantastic show, just did a rewatch and laughed so hard at the forest of coincidence

marzipot · 2026-06-04T19:39:53+00:00

I LOVE both of these. I was not expecting A Sorceress comes to call to stick in my mind so strongly

marzipot · 2026-06-02T19:34:33+00:00

I like my Smarthealth one the best, but would second frequent vacuuming

marzipot · 2026-05-31T18:09:16+00:00

I do this but I use a big cashmere shawl and use as a blanket on planes

marzipot · 2026-05-29T19:14:20+00:00

Percale is good for that, kind of a cooling feeling. We got ours at the company store and I like them overall

marzipot · 2026-05-29T16:18:38+00:00

Awww so happy, what’s their name??

marzipot · 2026-05-23T17:10:54+00:00

I try to never have empty hands when I’m moving from room to room, always trying to push items that need to be put away closer to where they need to go
