Blast,

I am so sorry to hear of your recent injury. However, this has to be the best ETS forum I have read so far. I was reading this as I ate my oatmeal breakfast. I am now trying to flush the oatmeal bits from my nasal passages. I'll be smelling oatmeal for a while.
A better way is to pour shampoo into the toilet and insert cat. Close lid and wait for the noise to quit. This means agitator cycle is over. Flush three times and rinse cycle is over. Open bathroom door, stand to the side (not between toilet and door), then open lid to toilet. This will begin spin cycle, as cat will run around the house drying its self on any and all material objects. Bandages will not be needed.
If I can be of any help let me know. If necessary I know of a few scouts needing their First Aid merit badges. They would just love to come over and change your bandages and listen to you relive the story once more!

You should love your Jack Russel. Best anti-cat device going.

A girlfriend of mine owned one by the the name of Crystal. I used to walk in, kiss her, look down. Super Mutt was always sat there with her lead in her mouth. And a look on her face that said "don't take your boots off." Always took her to the local park. Well, actually, she took me. I still ain't sure who was walking who here.

Any way. We would get to the park. Which has a pond in it. I would take her lead off. She would scoot off into the bushes. I would count to sixty slowly. Then walk down towards the pond. By the time I got there she had found a cat. Chased it down the park. Right into the pond. I would walk up. Look at the very soggy P.O.'ed moggy in the pond. Look down at her and ask "did you enjoy that?"






Oh yes, whilst I'm at it. Some people reading my posts might be forgiven for thinking that I don't like cats.

I would like to set the record straight.

I love cats.

They are a great source of protein when TSTHF.

I'd learn to sleep with one eye open for a while judging from the look on that cat.

I fear for you.

Might want to wear a cup as well.

Cats fight dirty, you know.

So I went to my doctor this afternoon and ended up with a 4 mL shot of penicillin in my @ss and a prescription for 10 days of the oral antibiotic Augmentin. He also warned if the infection has entered the bone all hell is going to break loose.

Stupid friggin cat.

Last year, after we adopted a dog from the rescue, we also acquired a large flock of fleas. We were concerend about using poisons as we have a 3 yo roaming the carpet, so we did some research and found a product called Fleabusters. I believe it is nothing more than borax, but it did the job, we've been flea free ever since.

If you want to try it with good ol' 20 Mule Team, the instructions were to sprinkle liberally around the carpet (especially under furniture) work it in with a broom and don't vacuum for 3 days. Supposedly the little buggers cut themselves on the sharp edges of the granules, and then are dessicated by it.

Good luck.

Huh, i never have an issue with my cat. She just sits there with a pissed off look on her face.

Good luck man. *crossing fingers and toes*

... also crossing legs (based on previous posts) ...

Seriously, though, hope everything comes up roses.
