Mixing pos and negs and the use of honey.. I have 3 cats one pos and the other two are neg, I use the ultra violet water bowl, and the cat genie litter box, All three are great and healthy, I also have 2 ferrets, 2 kids with Aspergers autism, military homeschooling household, hectic to say the least. Foods I am using Blue wilderness salmon, with added broth for water to keep down dehydration, cans I am using are Blue or Wellness, I check ingredients and they get one can a day, the ages of my cats are 3 Princess, she is pos, she wondered in to the house one day, the other two we adopted from the shelter, Jessie, 6 mth, Lolliepop is 2. I know what a name for cat, the ferrets are3 and 2 yrs old, Soda and Popper, with Princess everything is good the vet thinks she is in remission but she is balding, is that normal? Around her ears and the collar so I took off her collar. I also use honey when I brush their teeth as a reward and to make them drink after, if I don't they do not drink to wash out their mouths, should I use a bulb to wash it out for them ? Maybe instead. Also I use a Vicks type when they get sick and echinacea goldenseal once a week just one drop in canned food, the Vicks is for small animals upper respiratory health and I also but them in the bathroom for the steam relief , the bottle is labeled ferret R x but it works great just a dab on the chin and top of the nose. I didn't know if any one else had tried home remedies, and am very glad I found this site because my neighbors are upset for me keeping her alive and around the other 2 cats.now she does not play or clean the other 2cats she is very loving and loves to be inside, I still don't who she belonged to before but she does not want anything to with outside, thank goodness, all my neighbors have dogs, I think that is how she ended up in my backyard. Just don't know if any of this will help any one but the vet thinks that is why they are all doing so well, now if I can address my sneezing and itchy eyes, I rub them down with dryer sheets that have not been used and when brushing I use half downy and water in a spray bottle, it is more the hair falling then flying in the air, saliva is what is said to cause cat allergies for humans, so I don't know really I just know it helps me live with them since they all like to sleep right at my head and no one elses, no one else is allergic why do they target me.....? Oh well, a very good lesson for the kids and a good addition to them family, I can't afford the best of care so I do a lot of research, any help would be great , Princess has stolen my heart, I want her to make it, she is the first animal I have been able to bond with since my dog was killed by the neighbors dogs in 09 he was my mother s day present when we moved to Texas in 07. Ok well thanks for listening anyway
