I love having 5, though our ordinance is for 3.  Silly, because we are
allowed up to
3 dogs as well, which would make six total.  Guess I'll just count the "play

Re: ot - Ever ubiquitous pee - and still more pee

2007-05-22 Thread Kelley Saveika

My vet says once you get over 3, it isn't optimal.

I have so many I won't tell him how many I have.  He's told me that my
cats are stressed from overcrowding and I'm not being fair to them,
and I tend to agree with him.

Fortunately I have one going to his forever home Saturday.  A senior yet.

Excellent!  That reminds me--there is some kind of coffee bean that  
costs an arm and a leg because it has run through the digestive  
system of some small animal.  Personally, I can think of a better  
marinade than that.  Honestly, make it a rarity and people will buy  
anything!


Maybe you could use your dryer to roast and sell rare cat pee coffee  
beans--just needs a better name for marketing purposes!

One thing though... I wouldn't advise doing a load of whites or  
light colors in the dryer immediately after a load of coffee beans.

From watching crime dramas on tv, I've learned that coffee grounds are
used to disguise the scent from drug sniffing dogs.  Excuse me while I
go throw a pound of coffee in my dryer :-) .

You can also take your used coffee grounds and put them around the  
bases of your hydrangeas to give the soil the acidity that they  
need.  Good for the color.

I don't even try anymore - well, I do, but clearly it is ineffective.
They actually moved me at work so that I have a 2 seat buffer between
me and the next closest person in any direction.  *sigh*.   I have two
cats on behavior meds for inappropriate urination and it helps to a
point, but only to a point.

around the opening of the door, but I guess it could be in the air 
filter.  All I know is that I've scrubbed and sprayed and scrubbed 
some more.  Every time I think it's safe to dry a load of clothes 
they come out of the dryer smelling not springtime fresh, but of 
fresh kitty.  Whoever marked the dryer must be thrilled, everything 
smells of their scent now.  Any suggestions?  Do I have to get a new 
dryer and house it behind chain link?

Have you considered putting some wet and vinegar soaked towels in the 
dryier and running it for a while??
