Anna firefeet
It has been way too cold outside, which makes it dry and full of static inside. Anna is my long haired, black and white kitty. She has big and furry paws. Last night she was walking across my fleece blanket in the dark and the sparks coming from her feet were amazing to see. She didn't seem to feel the shocks through all that fur. Debbie Berry |

Debbie Berry You need to add humidity. If you cannot afford a humidifier, try placing some pans of water around. Your cat probably will drink out of them. Adding plants also helps (if you remember to water thrm). |

Hee hee....while stumbling around at night in relative's house in Denver
visits, suffering shocks from metal light fixtures and doorknobs (I soon learned how to walk like a high-stepping drum major and not shuffle my feet on the carpet) I often wondered what would happen if they were not allergic to pets and had some running inside in winter. Thanks for letting me know. Couldn't find out from visiting their friends with pets, as none have carpets and wood floors don't seem to pack the same electric punch for shocking you. We do not experience any of this in high-humidity south FL, even in winter. Poor pets. "m. L.

I wonder if you could get a picture of the sparks? Recently I reached out to pet Lacey and shocked her nose. It took her the entire evening before she'd forgive me for it. Julie |

When I lived in a part of the country where there were very cold and dry winters, I'd get a lot of static electricity, and it seemed that every time my cat came over to me, I'd touch her and give her a shock. Eventually she started flinching when I went to touch her. It was kind of sad. I wanted to be able to explain to her that it was an accident, and I didn't like it any more than she did! Joyce |

This happens every day here at this time of year. Still, Frank comes up to me when I put out my hand to him, but he flinches all the way and then he touches his nose to my hand and gets shocked. Poor baby. Yet, he won't stop touching his nose to my hand, though he knows he will be shocked. Nikki doesn't seem to get as electric. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |
