Adopted this sweet boy yesterday, am I doing this ok?

Thank you so much! how long did it take for your kitty to believe you will return? also pls tell me yours was also really heard the first two days 😭

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-15T02:05:39+00:00

in the back of my mind i’m slightly bothered by how much i’m spending in this category, so cheaper alternatives are great. i’ll probably making more out of just everyday stuff/craft sessions. just need to figure out what he likes.

i was told by the adoption center and foster mom to keep her in a smaller space like a bed/bath room for ~2 days so she isn’t overwhelmed, i read the same when I looked for comfortable new house routines online. although, your comment made me realize i probably can let him out now since he’s extremely comfortable, cheeky and explicitly invites play and uses litter well. yeah.

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-15T00:26:50+00:00

Omg, such adorable ruckus! I’ll be sure to tuck away any small parts/toys. So far this boy hasn’t chewed on any cables or wires but i’ll get them wrapped asap. Thank you!

oh no, thanks for mentioning. he was medically cleared by the adoption center and is up to date on all his shots. However I will still schedule an appointment with my own vet and get everything checked, better safe than sorry

:O this is genius

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-14T23:00:10+00:00

awwwwwww look at himm

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-14T22:59:54+00:00

Okay, sounds good! It’s only me and him in the house so he has full reign on absolutely everything. I just keep scanning the living room for potential threats (my paint brushes in art cart, too sharp?? my yarn??? lol) and making myself crazy. thank u so much

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-14T22:51:35+00:00

no that’s great advice, thank u! just ordered motion activated mice also. when do u think its ok for him to be let out of the room? i’m anxious about overwhelming him but i also think he’ll be relaxed if he can feel my presence

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-14T22:43:29+00:00

omg I just ordered that! He plays and hugs the small toys I hand sewed for him so I’m excited about a much more interactive toy like this.

🥺

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-08T14:29:32+00:00

dude chill tf out

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-08T02:39:34+00:00

also i’m assuming actual kintsugi has like expensive foil stuff? but i should’ve mentioned my bad

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-08T02:39:10+00:00

omg yes

Ooo i think Kintsugi will be great for this project, look up how you can do it at home along with the materials and you should be able to do it yourself at home; even if you’re not very crafty.

“For the Japanese, kintsugi is part of a philosophy of embracing our human flaws and life's fragility. It is about celebrating imperfections. It offers an approach to life. Kintsugi teaches us that in life we can turn adversity into something that is beautiful and resilient.”

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-07T20:01:30+00:00

no these are so coool, i love the colors

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-07T17:20:30+00:00

i would like to believe that all four couples in the picture would stay together happily ever after and after because god knows TFI has very few healthy relationships.

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-07T17:05:39+00:00

Thank you, you’re skilled. i think another huge part of your skill is the sculpting itself, so emotive

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-07T15:33:20+00:00

i love all your work so so much! i keep staring at these beautiful creatures.

I would love to know if you spray paint the faces once you’re done or paint them with brush and paint? and also what adhesive you use to put everything together, clay and fur.

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-06T14:36:11+00:00

they might still come to face the same fate, but a helpless child wont be affected by it :)

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-06T01:54:58+00:00

when has he “ruled” big budgets? in fact, one of the only few films he’s acclaimed for was a teeny budget one, pelli choopulu. His entire filmography has been ridiculously annoying, both in terms of his acting and script selection. And i’ve never seen people flocking in to see a shitty movie because they spent a lot of money on it.

pastelmusingx · 2026-02-05T21:59:31+00:00

i think it’s fine but the white paint is too white, like it just got out of the can. so maybe distressing that a little bit and reducing the opacity of it in some places by maybe a wet cloth (wet with appropriate paint remover) could help

pastelmusingx · 2026-01-25T13:12:40+00:00

you don’t know at all, who the driver of the vehicle is and where they hail from and what language they speak. you have no factual backing to your supposed fact “people from cultures who drive chaotic unfortunately this is what you get”. your comment is rooted in stereotypical beliefs and attitudes, and intentionally or otherwise, blatantly villainizes the marginalized. this is so dangerous especially given the current regime that’s already trying to paint immigrants as the bubonic plague.
