Whelp, it's usually pretty quiet around our place regarding fireworks. SoCal is a different story and apparently freaks Koji the gently caress out. Oh boy, this should be a fun week.  In other news, this popped up in my facebook today. The caption read something like: Why does Spot ignore me after his summer cut? QQ

Holy crap, thank you guys for telling me to get the easy lead harness. It works SO WELL to keep Feldman from pulling constantly. It's totally worth the money! Now to find something that makes his farts not kill small animals with a single whiff. edit: Also he turned 9 months old yesterday.

The meat was delicious, but I'll be damned if I sat here smelling those things cook all day just to give them to Ooka. He wouldn't appreciate it enough. I can't remember if they splinter or whatever because they're pork or because they're cooked, but I just wanted to make sure before I threw them out.

Cooked bones tend to splinter. Raw bones are the only way to go, and if they have issues with chewing thoroughly then no animals bigger than yours (Zoso can only have duck or rabbit bones now).

Can I ask a fish question here? My son has an aquarium. He really wanted a fiddler crab, but they were sold out, so I got him an electric blue crayfish. His name is "Lightning" because he's electric and my son is 9 and though that was awesome cool. We have had him a couple months and he seems well adjusted and stopped eating the other fish. He eats shrimp and algae pellets, and table scraps. Anyway, if I were to toss a couple fiddler crabs in there, would they get along or fight to the death? I have googled up on it, and it seems like a bad idea, but I don't really trust random internet strangers (except the one's that post HERE) Has anyone done this without a bloodbath?

Even if they weren't brackish they probably kill each other.

There is a tiny babby kitten in my house and she won't get off my neck.  My best friend was visiting her girlfriend upstate and got handed this kitten at an agricultural fair, after having heard that all of its siblings and barn cat mother had been killed by a neighboring dog and the owners of the property had been planning to just let the survivor starve. The kitten is a little tabby female, goopy eyed and sneezy, and probably just under 5 weeks; she's still chubby and tiny and unsteady. My friend's girlfriend, who is now in Sweden for a summer program, begged her to take the kitten for her and she'd keep it, so that's the plan so far. The little rat will have a home with my friend if not. (Seriously, my last surviving old man rat is bigger than her.) My friend had to go away for the 4th, and she didn't anticipate having a kitten when she made those plans so she begged me to take her on for the next two days, knowing I am a useless sucker. I had no idea the kitten was so young; she mentioned she thought it was 6-7 weeks, and there's no way. She's not litterbox trained (oh gently caress me) and I caught her in the act of attempting to pee on my bed and quickly plopped her in the box, but I'm understandably worried about the possibility of kitten pee. Here's what I know from past PI threads: -I mixed KMR and wet food for her, and she's nomming on that like a pro -A bath in Dawn dish soap is in her future -I'm watching her like a hawk, and if she starts to dig and crouch, I pop her in the box, but she usually just pops right back out, little baggage. Here's what I need to know: -How often does a five week old kitten need to urinate/defecate? I don't think I need to be stimulating her, but should I pop her in the box at certain times, like after she's woken up from a nap or after eating? That's what I've been doing, but I'm at a loss as to how often or when she's likely to need the box. Caaaats. -She's got a URI for sure, and once my friend gets back from her trip tomorrow, a vet visit is booked, but what can I do OTC and at home to help combat some of the sniffles and eye goop? -Should I offer her dry food? -She won't stop attempting to sleep in my neck, and it's highly uncomfortable while also cute. I don't want a kitten parrot; last night trying to sleep like that was hell. How do I discourage this? I'm about to take some pics of her, so I'll edit those in real fast as a thank you in advance for advice. She looks like Weebie. Anyone remember Weebie? Eta: PICS!    For now, her name is Little Boots. Captain Foxy fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jul 4, 2012 |

Do you have a spare dog crate, Captain Foxy? They're super handy for parking kittens overnight, with a heat source, so that you don't have kitten-neck. From what I recall of the last time I had a kitten that age in the house, it was pretty hard to predict how often she'd decide she needed to poop or pee. The litterbox stuff tends to catch on pretty quickly, at least. When they aren't too busy playing. If she's doing well on wet food, I'd honestly stick with that since it's just a couple of days. They do make kitten kibble with extra-small pieces, though. Why the bath with Dawn? Is she particularly greasy and smelly? e. pics! Excuse me while I make ridiculous squeaking noises now.

Dawn bath is because she has fleas, and I've read that that's a safe and non-toxic way to get them off animals who are too young for topical treatments (?). Seen it recommended a few times before. I have a dog crate, and I actually popped her in my Sherpa carrier last night after experiencing the hell of sudden wake up via kitten claws. I just nabbed her again from peeing on the bed and we had another successful box pee. I petted her and cooed to her and gave her a nibble of wet food during and after. I think I just need to really watch her and get her used to it; she doesn't bury her pee so I don't think she's ever seen an adult use a litter box. I felt really dumb trying to convince her to bury it by scratching around in the litter.

I don't think my foster kittens had figured out burying stuff in the box at that point. Sometimes they'd make gestures towards it but they definitely didn't have that down--or they just didn't have the attention span for it. Sure, Dawn should be safe! I was just wondering what the situation was.

ETA: Definitely not keeping this babby, cute as she is. She has a good home with my friend's girlfriend, a responsible and sensible young lady.

Lmao there are fireworks going off and Frankie is under my desk right now with shoelaces of drool like a foot long hanging out of both sides of his mouth. I'm being mean by going "FRANKIE!" and making him jump and I should feel bad but I don't. I gave him preemptive anxiety meds he has for thunderstorms/fireworks earlier, but they never really work- he freaks out just as badly, but he's too zonked to try to jump out of windows/injure himself like he would otherwise. Moses is watching the fireworks through the window, and when one of them explodes really good and big he thinks that is very cool and he tries to bite it. He keeps smacking his face on the window when he does.

Man. Balen does not like fireworks. I'm glad they aren't allowed to shoot them off. Last time I shot off fireworks at home, I accidentally locked him in a bathroom (I thought he wasn't in it, closed the door). Came back in, walls were eaten. Door was mauled. Drool everywhere. He ran up to me and crushed his head against me, shaking, totally terrified half to death. I made it all better with a milkbone and a lot of lovins. Thankfully, it didn't matter. That was the bathroom I burned down a bit more than a year later!
