Yes Rusty was a good nature cat and tolerated a lot from me.
Teeth brushing, pilling,claws clipping, fur brushing.
He complained loudly with the last two but let me
did it. He would nipped at me but never drew blood.
I didn't realize his good nature until I saw some of my friends' cats.
But then Rusty was a different cat at the vet clinic.
He had a sort of bad reputation there.
He yelled at the vet with his last breadth before going to RB.

You can get saline nasal spray at WalMart - it's really very cheap and
you
don't have all that bother of mixing.

he mixes it in a glass of water and snorts it, gross but he has reduced
his sinus infections to almost nil, and he really needed to wokrk on
thhis as he is allergic to several antibiotics so tries to limit those
he
can take in case of some serious life threatening issue in the future,

dh does use it now for clearing his sinuses, works very good to avoid

infections, Lee

Recently my doctor told me to spray saline solution in my noses when
I
was on a plane. Usually it gets very dry in the plane and I was
recovering
from a sinus congestion and cough.

A friend told me she used a neti pot to flush her nasal cavities with
saline soultion.
So salt does has other uses besides seasoning.

waving hand Another salt freak here! I also don't cook with salt
because pretty much everyone I know prefers a lot less salt than I
like
to put on my food. If I salted to taste during the cooking
process,
I'd be the only one who would want to eat it.

Also, I've heard that when you salt food while it's cooking, it
tends
to lose some of the salty flavor - but it doesn't lose the sodium
content.
So then you might want to salt it again at the table, resulting in
more
sodium. If you salt food just as you're about to eat it you don't
have
an extra dose of it, at least! (Experienced cooks: any truth to
this
theory?)

I mainly use salt for gargling whenever I have a sore throat, not for
cooking
or seasoning.

When I sort through Rusty (RB) stuff, I came upon an old bottle of
saline nasal
spray from the pharmacy
I recalled once Rusty had a cold and the vet told me to use saline
spray on him.
But I don't remember how I sprayed into his nose or how he reacted to
it.
