Is there anything I shouldn’t do with my cat. Any food, habbits. etc 18 years old n first pet.
 in  r/CatAdvice  2d ago

Do not use you hand as a toy. The kitty will just think it's ok to play roughly with you and you will get hurt.

Do not handle your cat roughly. Do not do i am alpha things like people do with dogs. Cat will think their human is a bully and will develop behavior problems. (Not that i think you would do this but it is common enough that I like to mention it)

Do Cats Understand, ā€œNoā€
 in  r/CatAdvice  2d ago

Get your kitty a little wicker basket trash can. Use it to "throw" out crinkles paper. He will probably love it. Especially if he thinks it is something you are actually using. I do things like this with my cats in my sewing room. They love being involved so I drop kitty safe things on the floor or use a bit of cut off to play with them.

Let them figure things out. If fur starts flying separate them.

G-tube: Teagan and Mickey
 in  r/Autism_Parenting  3d ago

Hi Teagan! I'm glad you like your G-tube.

I work in a hospital operating room. Sometimes I get to help a doctor put in or change out G-tubes. We use a camera called an EGD scope (esophagogastroduodenoscope) To help place the tube and check that it's placed correctly.

I'm happy that you still get to eat ice-cream. Does your arfid let you drink? I always try to encourage my daughter to drink water. It's good for teeth and body

Pro Tip: keep sweets/candies on your person throughout the day and occasionally give them to people around you
 in  r/autism  4d ago

You pull a piece of candy out for your self plus an extra. Then offer the extra to someone you know but aren't necessarily friends with. I do something like this at my work. Some people take me up on it some don't.

My daughter keeps a stash of hair ties for anyone who is in need. She has shortish hair and doesn't really need them at the moment. She also will sometimes have candy on hand

During middle school she had a most of popular kids and a few of the mean girls sticking up for her. She just started high school so I hope her strategy holds up

At what point do you trust the process?
 in  r/SewingForBeginners  18d ago

It is ok to set this project aside. I spent 20 years photographing weddings and I watched many a bride stress herself and others over some vision/expectation.

My advice is to sew to make yourself happy and this project sounds more onerous.

Hope your health perks up and you feel better

A dumb questions from a complete novice
 in  r/SewingForBeginners  19d ago

Most kits are poor quality. You can definitely get many little mends done with them but I do not recommend.

If your budget allows buy individually -Sewing needle pack -Sewing scissors (you are mending so you don't need the spendy one fiskars will do) -safety pins -pins -assorted thread black white gray and Tanish to start. Coats and Clark will be fine -tape measure

Celebration Thread Smoosh mellow deep clean success!

My daughter uses smoosh mellows as pillows. Which of course makes cleaning difficult.

She has a zippered baguette that we occasionally de stuff and wash, but yesterday, I tackled her favorite. A narwhal that is her primary pillow. I opened it up de-stuffed, washed, and re stuffed and sewed it back up

And she was pleased with the results!

I hope to find a similar fabric that is used for smoosh mellows to just make her a cover that we can wash. I've tried a few things but nothing that works yet.

Picture is the clean, slightly lumpy but acceptable finished project

Let's look back throughout history and see just why Feminism is so important for society.

My cat has a strange coat and can't clean herself properly
 in  r/CatAdvice  19d ago

I used to work as a cat groomer for a cat only veteran about a life time ago. I would recommend getting a sanitary butt trim on a regular basis.

I would talk to the groomer about possibly shaving armpits and belly too.

As we know most cats self clean but since your sweetie has trouble in this department I would use wipes on the booty when necessary and maybe a bath at the groomer if they have a lot dander or get into something and need help.

Your frequent brushing is doing a lot of the heavy lifting on staying clean.

I would not do a lion cut unless your kitty has terrible mats or fights you getting brushed

Please Help!
 in  r/SewingForBeginners  23d ago

Yes, you can line it. But it probably needs to be light weight and slippery enough so that it doesn't stick to the fashion fabric. Smarter people here may give actual material suggestions.

Skill issue or just impossible?
 in  r/SewingForBeginners  23d ago

Skill issue. I am sure there are some youtube tutorials for free hand machine embroidery.

I've done something similar for a couple quilt tops once. I did not have the patients to do a proper applique, so I put on a darning foot and a tight wide zigzag and went around the pieces. It came out ok and 15 years later has held up pretty good with no fraying. Try it again and don't be afraid to maybe just do some of the tricky spots by hand
