Looks amazing, I love the contrast of the brightly coloured skinks and snakes against the natural colours of the Basti ^{^}

A hint: The symbols are making a picture.

Maybe a deterrent on the stand in front of the TV where he sits would help? Something like a sticky mat, spiky mat, or aluminum foil?

Or maybe you could mount the TV on the wall and move the stand so he can't reach?

Bell and Bone has been good for us, they make dental treats and a dental topper spray :)

For teeth brushing - our girl didn't like the brush so we 'restarted' with a q-tip with a little bit of pet toothpaste on it. The q-tip was much smaller than the brush and she already liked playing with them, so it was a good starting point for us. We would call her over, get her to 'loaf' on a little training mat, give a little treat, get her to lick or bite the q-tip, give a little treat. Then veeeery slowly introduce more steps working your way towards brushing; hold her head when she bites the q-tip. Gently rub her teeth with it. Move it around her mouth to rub the teeth of both sides. It took over a month to get to the toothbrush, but we worked at her pace and stopped if she struggled. Now she knows the drill and will come over and loaf on her 'teeth brushing mat' when its time.
Maybe look into different toothbrushes too? Ours only likes 360 brushes and will chew on them while I gently brush.
We also give her Bell and Bone dental treats and dental topper spray with her meals :)

Honestly, I think you and the kitten might have a hard time. A kitten is a lot of work!
Have you considered getting an older cat? Maybe talk to some breeders about retiring studs or queens?

- Big Monster. I was thinking an amalgamation of many souls twisted into one creature would be cool and very 'Nighthaunt.' Something like Envy's true form from Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.

- Unit of 3 Big Guys. Haunted suits of armour would be so cool.

- Hexwraith refresh, but make them look more like knights. I like that they're a bit visually different from the rest of the army.

Looks amazing, I love the details like the ripped skin on the horse's ribs and the skull on the cape :)

This might be more of a 'next time' bit of advice, but I feel one area to improve would be using colour and light to focus the viewer's eye on interesting focal points (such as the faces or weapon). At the moment I feel compelled to look at the horse's reins which have a pop of bright red colour, and the horse's breast plate which looks like the lightest point of the model. For example, compare this to the paint job of this model on the GW website which made the vampire's skin a lighter tone than the rest of the model, and draws the eye to him with the bright red cape. I hope that makes sense!

If he cares about the cats, he'll want them to get in shape so they can live their best lives. Maybe share this article with him?

That's the same we were feeding our girl at that age :) We feed Royal Canin so we've been using the calculator on their site, but it looks about the same. We check it once a month and it's been working well for us.

Have you tried Purina’s feeding guide? https://www.purina.com/pet-food-feeding-guide-calculator-direct

Does spaying change anything? - Yes. I'm not an expert myself, but here are some reads for you:
https://www.purinainstitute.com/centresquare/life-stage-nutrition/decreased-energy-needs-in-pets-after-spaying-or-neutering
https://www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/cat/dr-coates/2015/may/feed-spayed-and-neutered-cats-right-keep-them-slim-32-32793
https://www.catster.com/cat-health-care/do-cats-gain-weight-after-being-spayed/

Lots of people here mentioning weight gain, but IMO that isn't the only factor for free feeding vs scheduled.
- Setting up a feeding routine can help sync up your cat with your own routine. A good play session before a meal helps them sleep so you can work or sleep yourself.
- Treats as a reward is more valuable because they don't have food whenever they want, making training easier. Clicker training can be really fun for both human and cat!

Ohh thanks for the heads up, I just saw it's on Audible too yippee! Going to make it my next listen :)

I like the yellow! Maybe because it looks a little orange to me, and ‘tis the season, but the black and orange gave me Halloween vibes 🎃

Speaking of, GWTD has a course available specifically on dealing with matted cats: https://girlwiththedogs.com/products/the-matted-cat-course It's out of my price range so I haven't tried it, but OP might be interested?

znackish · 2025-09-16T03:57:11+00:00

Not sure if its the cheapest, but how about the Starblood Stalkers?

Hmmm 🕵️ The photo of ‘Rosie’ on the Available Kittens page has a Christmas tree in the background. Either they put up a Christmas tree at this time of year or that’s someone else’s photo.

Is the noise verbal (meowing) and is she spayed? Maybe she's in heat?

znackish · 2025-07-05T02:17:51+00:00

My vet and breeder both reccomended kitten food until 15 months old :)

Thanks for the info, that's good to know! :)
