I have never in my life had a kitten react this negatively to swaddling. Fully feral 8 week olds tolerate it better than this 10 day old kitten. Warning: he is LOUD and sounds like he's being tortured.
You can imagine how much fun tube feeding him is right now....
This is the same baby that was growling at me so it appears to be a native personality thing. He's going to be a delightful adult cat at the vet.... Maybe I should change his name to "eternal gabapentin"
I'm watching Monk now that it's added to Netflix in my country, and it's ironic how I sometimes find it difficult to focus on the plot when:
On the 4th episode, Monk is trying to hide his OCD and other symptoms as well as possible in order to be accepted to officially help the detectives. The amount of continuity errors in this is insane, tho:
Someone threw a trash on the floor which is seriously bothering Monk. In close-up images the trash is right next to the bin, but in the bigger, different angle the trash is like 1 meter away from the bin. And it keeps jumping between these cameras -> the trash's placement changes the whole time.
In a scene where Monk starts cleaning up as he's having a conversation with someone, the placement of those plates do not add-up. He's holding a plate, but in the next close-up he puts a frying pan into the sink. The frying pan, which he already put into the sink earlier, but in the previous scene it was again on the stove. Finally, when the scene ends and he leaves, the frying pan is back on the stove.
I'm pretty sure the flowers look a bit different too.
And I'm just 15 minutes in. I'm really pondering here if these are just normal continuity errors that happen in film industry all the time, OR if these were made on purpose as some sort of easter eggs to the viewer, to contrast Monk's attempt of controlling his OCD.
Whatever it is, I just notice these things more easily than ever before, because I'm a media student and I've trained to notice such errors in my own work when I'm filming and editing stuff. So it's kinda funny how much there are these minor errors in films. I've always been very fascinated by them, but this episode has been so loud about those that I'm actually wondering if they're on purpose and easter eggs.
Oh and another technical thing that annoyed me a bit: The audio and video are not 100% in sync sometimes, especially with the first two episodes. I think in this 4th episode they got their shit together and it's fine now. Audio and video not being in sync is one of my biggest pet peeves in everything, and I'm super passionate about that when I'm editing stuff myself!
This male (top) and female (bottom) have been a mated pair for years and currently have a 1-2 year old offspring still with them. The ʻAki only breeds every other year and only has one chick per breeding, which they spend the next year or two raising. This contributes to the challenges already faced (habitat loss, invasive predators, and introduced diseases) in saving his endangered bird.
