rohaan: Hi. Thanks for asking about a Skedaddle. Yes, he’s grown some, and has a nice personality. He’s quite energetic, as expected, and I’m giving him more “ investigative” privileges. ( he’s really not all that ‘ destructive’, as can be common at his age (3.5 mos old). December 4 will be a “ Hallmark” day— finishing vaccines ( rabies) and the, uh, tutoring...( don’t let him in on it—ha ha )
I have been watching for news of the little feller, I am a complete cattist and adore the little fellows who grow up into real friends.
Please keep us updated and some more photos would be appreciated if you have time.
rohaan: Just wondering—isn’t there something about “ yellow”? I think it’s considered calming, ‘ warm’ or something. ALSO, dig this: I’ve heard that when therapists give that test with the ink splat ( Rorschach ?) in other colors besides black, the result from the client differs...your thoughts?
I don't know about the test you're talking about, Rohan?
Yellow is a nice bright sunny and warm colour, but not calming!
For calming we use light blue. But, being a cold colour, be careful which room you use it for.
Now..for healing..LILAC is used. I have it in my music room (a sunny room) and a lighter lilac a bit more pinky, for my bedroom. Very calming and relaxing. Good colour for meditation. I use amethyst for that purpose.

Good to hear Ro. I guess the cat scratching post I recommended has helped a tad. My last lot of cats were all Persians so more than content to just find a place in the sun and relax. Gismo my last black Persian had a thing about handbags and if it was on the floor he'd put his front paws in and just fall asleep. He was 18 when I lost him to cancer bless him and a real good age for a pedigree.
tomcatty: Oh come on AI tell me what you have found, I told you a bedtime story
If you’ve ever felt like someone was watching you, you may have attributed that awareness to a sense of unease or a prickling on the back of your neck. But there’s nothing psychic about it; your brain was simply picking up on cues. In fact, your brain is wired to inform you that someone is looking at you — even when they’re not.
“Far from being ESP, the perception originates from a system in the brain that's devoted to detecting where others are looking,” writes social psychologist Ilan Shrira. This concept may sound confusing, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it as a survival instinct. Gaze-Detection System
Many mammals can tell when another animal is looking at them, but the human “gaze-detection system” is particularly good at doing this from a distance. We’re able to easily discern where someone is looking.
This system is especially sensitive when someone is looking at you directly, and studies have found that particular cells fire when this happens.
“Gaze perception — the ability to tell what someone is looking at — is a social cue people often take for granted,” Colin Clifford, a psychologist at the University of Sydney's Vision Center, told the Daily Mail. “Judging whether others are looking at us may come naturally, but it's actually not that simple as our brains have to do a lot of work behind the scenes.” Body Language
When you catch someone looking at you, what is it that clued you in? Often, it’s as simple as the position of the person's head or body.
If both the head and body are turned toward you, it’s clear where the person's attention is focused. It’s even more obvious when the person's body is pointed away from you but their head is facing you. When this happens, you immediately look to the person’s eyes to see where they're looking.

"Gaze detection " or "psychic staring effect" as well as other phenomena, such as "déjà vu", "synchronicities", seeing same numbers, seeing patterns in nature, or fractals etc etc... Are all part of the same thing, Tom.
Up to you to work it out...if you look in the right place.
germanspitz: Talking of colour D my Sweet Jasmine has gone from green with flowers to this glorious Autumn colour. Just thought I'd share as I love it's depth .
Oh that plant's a gorgeous colour German, it's going to be stunning in a few years when it's filled out. It looks an awful lot like a forest flame (japonica Pieris).
Is a sweet jasmine the winter flowering one? (winter jasmine) I've searched everywhere here for a winter jasmine but I can't find one anywhere.
I have any awful lot of huge bees here flying around my windows in January. I dont know if they're solitary bees or queen bees but they are absolutely huge. Bees only come out of hibernation that early if they're really hungry and have no food left. so I try to grow plants they like and I believe winter jasmine is one of them. ditto aconite, I'd love to make an aconite lawn but I can't find that here either.

Big hugs to Skeedaddle.
Thank you...I know I talk about the kitten quite a bit—-just still a little excited about having him..

All this is very true, Tom as you've just copied it from the internet.
But...nobody is telling you why, or what is causing it? There's a reason behind it all.

Hi blathin
I have a Forest flame on the other side of the house in the back garden together with a Mahonia but a thorn less one. It was next to a chocolate sambuca which grew so big this year it took over. Now I have cut it back the Mahonia is starting to flower again.
Sad you can't buy a Winter jasmine as they have a yellow one that is stunning as seen below. Mine is summer flowering so as I said hope it survives the Winter though they are mild here.

Oh that looks lush. I like Verbena, and have had a little success. But, you get what looks like a large amount of ugly cud’s- type for just one or two pretty blooms..Columbine grows freely in my yard, and in all the colors. They don’t “ last” very long, sadly.

well where do you research then, is there some magic researching well that I don't know about, is there some unwritten rule about quoting from the internet

I didn't say you weren't allowed to copy from the internet. I agreed with what you wrote as I just read it myself. Ok..just a "coincidence "
I don't think there's any "magic" researching Tom??? It depends on what key words you enter and also discern the info you read.
Anyway...after doing some searching from various sources...I do my own personal research without involving internet or anybody.

Hiya German
Oh I bet the colour of the sambucaa and the green mahonia together were/are really striking, I have a couple of sambucca (black beauty and the lacy one) too and it's like trying to catch a runaway horse they grow so fast...and big...
I have a Mahonia too but it's still a baby ...I can't wait for it to grow to full size and to see those lovely spikes of colour. I'm going to be moving it though and am planning to put it in front of some fatsia in a dark corner..so fingers crossed lol...but now you've mentioned it..:hmm: I'm wondering should I put it with the sambucca instead..that colour combination sounds really good...
