Yes. Baby wipes contain potentially-toxic chemicals that your cat
could ingest as he grooms himself. How about a damp tissue or washcloth instead? dragon |

oups.com... Yes. Baby wipes contain potentially-toxic chemicals that your cat could ingest as he grooms himself. How about a damp tissue or washcloth instead? dragon I'm glad this topic came up. I keep a box of baby wipes in the bathroom and have used them on Tiger. She's almost 15 years old, and she only uses the box for urination once a day. She's done this her whole life. Since she uses the box only once a day, when she goes she REALLY goes. She tends to sit her butt right down in the litter and as a result her backside can get soaked with urine, and then litter sticks to it. When she gets really wet I use a big handful of toilet paper but when it's just a small area I had been grabbing a wipe. I'll just stick with the toilet paper from now on. -- Liz |

I was commenting on your foolish assumption: "I figure if they're safe for baby, they're safe for kitty". Do you also assume baby foods containing onions are also safe for baby....? The other thing is, babies do not lick their butts. At least no babies I have ever seen. |

Actually, this issue is like the onion issue. Everyone had done a "Henny Penny" about the most miniscule amount of onion making cats drop dead on the spot. I will admit that the state of mind I am in with Jasper and his health...I dropped everything and cancelled my appointment to tutor someone after work so I could run home and make sure Jasper was okay. As I was driving, I thought to myself he probably could not have licked enough bad stuff off him from one or two wipes with the baby wipe to make him sick. Nonetheless, I got really nervous! So, I am home. Jasper is fine. And it looks like he did some eating today. Whew! I feel kinda bad about the tutoring appointment, but hey. What can ya do? I lied and said I didn't feel good because I didn't want to say that my real reason for cancelling was to drive home and make sure my cat wasnt dead. :\ Pam |

So I'll correct it: Do you also assume baby foods containing onions are also safe for cat....? |

Ick! Heh, it seems Luna has taken a fancy to Jasper's low residue dry food. That is the stuff they sent me home with, btw. Eukanuba (not Iam's as I had stated before) low residue canned food. I also asked for some of the same stuff in the dry version, even though Jasper doesnt usually eat dry food. I did see him munching it when he was in the hospital, so I figured it was a good thing to leave for him during the day. He needs to eat! Pam |

Your were commenting on only a portion of what I wrote, snipping the specific product I mentioned just before the statement. The product is *irrelevant*. I was commenting on your asinine *reasoning* for assuming that *any* product is safe for a cat simply because its safe for baby. I wasn't commenting on any particular product - I know that. You would not have otherwise been able to indulge your insecurities by being a know-it-all. Just about everyone in this group is a "know-it-all" compared to you! LOL! You couldn't even teach your cat where to scratch or learn how to trim her claws! So you made your cat paid for your ignorance and ineptness with her blood and bones. But the fact remains, that I *was* commenting on a specific product that you snipped. ....and I was commenting on your dangerous and asinine reasoning that if *a* product is a safe for a baby its safe for a cat. LOL! I'll leave the showing off to you since you love showing off your well trained gaping asshole. Oh, well, you certainly hurt my feeling and sent my credibility up in flames. You have a lot of credibility in peep shows and porn theaters, but not much when it comes to cats... Have you maimed any more cats recently? Gee, if you can't win on facts and intelligent discourse, Ahhh, butt I did win with facts and intelligent discourse. You just refuse to accept your reasoning is ludicrous. You should *never* ASSume *any* product is safe for a cat just because its safe for a baby. throw in sexual acts and body parts. You did bring "showing off" up, did you not? That's what you show off, is it not? |

After all, judging from the looks of this place it must be a full moon, and the kitty gods are especially receptive during the full moon. |

After all, judging from the looks of this place it must be a full moon, and the kitty gods are especially receptive during the full moon. Hey, we'll take whatever we can get...even if it is some wacko doing the Eat Jasper, Eat dance. I did feed him some plain chicken breast when I got home. That seems to be what he wants most. People food. (that we can thank his previous owner for!) But fortuantely they did tell me I could feed him that, so I am going to. While gone today, I left him quite a bit of food...all of which he sampled. He had multiple bowls for the choosing. 1. the low residue dry kibble, 2. a mixture of turkey baby food and the wet low residue food, 3. a dollop of beef baby food and 4. a dollop of chicken baby food. LOL. I should have labeled the damn baby food as I cant tell if it was the chicken or the beef he prefered. One was barely touched, but at the end of the day, that crap all looks the same. Pam |
