Ah crud, I've already maxed out the rift.
Much appreciated regardless, though.

Oh no. Stream codes are probably expiring quickly -.-

I finished too but I'm glad they still do them. I'd rather get them and not need them than not get them and need them.
Oh true, I'll update my post as a heads up.

I'm currently mad at Holly because she was SUPPOSED to go to the vet this morning so I could get her shots and finally ask a vet the questions I really want to ask (since Holly is my first time kitty, I have questions about diet and what weight she should be at and what is best to feed her, etc etc etc). She wouldn't go into her crate, bolted, and hid under my bed and I had to cancel the appointment because even her super treat didn't coax her out again.
But I am contractually obligated to provide a Holly pic when codes are posted so here's a picture of her but the least adorable I could make her look
Yeah, I'm talking about you! You lil #########...

Sad because she's still adorable

I know!
I did my best to make her less adorable but it's impossible 😠

Thank you!

She's soooo cute. Keep her carrier out even when you're not taking her places and put treats in her carrier so she gets more comfortable with it. If she only sees it when she goes to vet she's going to bolt moment she sees it. If it's just normally out and gives her tasty treats she'll be like "it's my treat box that sometimes brings me to bad place" 😂

That's kind of what I do but I think I need to up my efforts. It is currently under the table where her heated bed is (so like...it's out but it's not really "out" because there's no reason she'd go there. She doesn't bolt when she immediately sees it though) so I think I'm going to move it out to maybe just the middle of the damn living room so she really gets used to it.
I had been giving her her "Jackpot Treats" as Jackson Galaxy calls them (these GoGurt lookin tubes of meat) in the carrier but I haven't done that in months. I didn't really have any rhyme or reason for giving her those treats so I just kind of stopped giving them to her so I might need to get a pattern of some kind to get her more treats AND put them in the carrier to get her comfortable with going in without me having to force her.
It was actually a different JG video I saw that makes me really want to make sure she sees the crate as not only a good place but a place to actively go to if she's scared or whatever. Today, if we were leaving because everything was on fire and not to bring her to the vet, she'd have been toast. And while I am currently irked at kitty, I do not want a toasted kitty :(

My sister lived in the same town as me when I got my old cat as a kitten so I would bring him with me there when I'd go over her place, which was pretty often. Her cats didn't like him but her ferrets loved him (they were like same size when he was a kitten) so he would have a good time going over there. I think being able to take him somewhere with me when I left the house made him think "if I go in here she won't leave me behind" 😂
He loved his crate, saw it as like his safe space. I used one that was bigger than most use for cats so he had room to stretch out. It helped when one time at my old apartment there were manholes exploding nearby due to an underground gas main fire - they were causing the building to shake and we lost power so we decided we weren't going to stick around to see if it got worse, my cat went straight in his carrier when I called him over and we were able to just take off.

Thanks, I'll add that to the main post for those that don't read the comments. 😁

That's something I also wonder about (crate size). Like...the crate she has is supposed to be her size. She can't stand in it or anything without brushing the top but it's not completely cramped where she can't move.
Some say that's exactly what you want (kind of like a box, they feel safe and secure when it's "cozy"). Holly has never been into boxes or anything like that, she's definitely more of a Jungle Cat than a Cave Cat (back to my boy JG, a Jungle Cat likes to sit up high and survey the land and see predators so they can run/react accordingly where a Cave Cat likes to burrow and be in tight spaces to stay hidden from predators).
So part of me wonders if getting a bigger crate would help. This one is big enough that it does have a little bed in it and whatnot. I figure I need to do my treats thing for a while and see how it goes. The next vet appointment is now early July so I have a month to get her good with this crate. As you stated, in a moment of emergency, I really don't want to have to worry if I can get Holly into her crate.
I don't need her to be see it as her home (I think she might be too old at this point for that particular habit, even if she did like small cramp spaces) but I really want to feel safe that if we need to go right this instant, she won't fight me. It is nice to now though that at least anecdotally, I know someone who actually did have this success (JG talked about it in his video but it just seemed...kind of unrealistic to me but if you got your kitty cat to do it, no reason to think I can't get Holly to).

It's not a good thread on the DBD forums if someone doesn't post a picture of an adorable animal
That should be a forum rule somewhere 🤔

I'm doing my part!
(Although generally I only do it in code threads. They rarely ever stay on the first page for very long and I noticed that The Internet really likes cats so I started posting pictures of Holly in them and now I sometimes get tagged in the threads creation as people now expect Holly to show up :D)

Just to quickly add to the thread - the BP/Rift codes expire Sunday 11am ET (that's this Sunday, 12th June).

She's a cute fuzzy-baby.

My cat was a Mainecoon so he was a big kitty, like nearly the same size as my beagle. Here's old pic of them laying side by side snuggling.
I didn't like the fabric carriers - way more expensive and I didn't want to deal with zippers getting stuck. I went with the plastic carriers and the ones that are generally for cats (xx-small and x-small) were WAY too small for my cat that was long and 20 lbs. I've seen people use those crates for big kitties and I just feel so bad for them. The size difference generally is pretty big between x-small and small for the crates - I used a small and it was so roomy for him and he was so comfy in there. Here's a pic of him hanging out in his crate. Can see he had pretty decent amount of space.
With older kitty will definitely take more effort and patience than it does with a kitten but it is definitely doable.

Thanks Mandy, I'll update that post to say that. 😁

The last code is THANKYOU for 150k.
Was a lovely stream - some really tight games, too. And I was lucky enough to walk out with some David drip to remember it by!

Holy Hell, that is a big crate (and a big kitty! I know Mainecoon's are one of the biggest domestic breeds you can get) :D
This is her on the way to my house with my Dad's crate. I don't have a picture her in her crate but her crate is slightly smaller (like...maybe an inch lower).
So she's snug in there but she can move and whatnot if she wants to. I also right now have a little bed in there but I might remove the bed and put one of her blankets in there instead. I think the bed is taking up too much space...

Your crate looks like the one that's a size down from what my cat had - like I said, it's a hilariously big difference between xsmall and small when it comes to the plastic crates. 😂
Check out your pet shops sales on crates but maybe try crate that is size up. While it will be bigger it may encourage her to go in more often if she can easily walk in/out of it without crouching. Also a bit easier to get the kitty in to the big crate. My brother ended up taking my crate for his cat that is normal cat size because it was easier to get him in and his cat HATES the crate - bolts when he sees it and goes to hide in pool table or inside a couch depending on the day. 😂

Here is a picture of my dog standing up leaning against a table.
Sorry about the rubbish in the picture we were empty our house a bit.

Thank you for being in the Stream -- it's great to see forum names in the chat there <3

And thank you and the team for keeping it safe in there! Always sad when it's necessary, but you guys were so on top of it that I usually didn't get a chance to see what the drive-bys were saying.
Also, mandatory cat tax. Moosh is a ragdoll and a big boi. He had a spate of vet concerns earlier this year, and let me tell you, this cat was not having this whole 'crate' idea. Luring with treats or his favorite brush didn't work - you had to pick him up while someone else held his legs in place so he couldn't kick (and splay them wider than the crate door.) That was not a fun month.
Had to bow out halfway through this post because he wanted cuddles :3c
5 -
Your reasons for bowing out are acceptable. Please give the cat the necessary pets until they are satisfied

Free BP and cute pics? Yes plz
