My shoe!
Who was it whose cat threw up in his shoe recently?
Okay, I don't get dressed up very often. But some of you may know I have to eat at the Club every once in a while to apply towards the dining assessment. It's a pretty nice day and tonight is Prime Rib night. Yum! So I thought hmmm, maybe I'll get gussied up and go to the club for dinner. I had in mind the perfect spring outfit. A lovely dark, rather dusky purple skirt with a matching sleeveless blouse. A jute belt with a silver and abalone shell clasp. Topped with a white lightly flowered linen jacket. I went looking in the closet for the dark purple suede slides I usually wear with this outfit. Oh no! Oh yes. Persia had vomited in one of the shoes. It was some time ago, apparently. (I did mention I don't get dressed up very often.) That darn cat! I guess I'll have to rethink my wardrobe. Jill |

Almost good as new. Jill |

I have one or two of those in the tiny bedroom that doubles as the Cat Introduction Room. It all dries up but the actual stuff that makes a hairball, which I suppose is hair. |

Persia does not like closed closet doors. She'll stand outside of them and complain, rather loudly. She was actually quite considerate. She didn't throw up on the suede, just on the inside. And yes, dessicated is much easier to deal with. Still... Gee, thanks Persia! Jill |

It all dries up but the actual stuff that makes a hairball, which I suppose is hair. I have found a marvelous solution to carpet stains (that may dry up but don't really disappear). I found it in a mail order catalog - it's called "Stream Clean". It's an enzyme cleaner that you simply spray generously on the stain and let it sit. (I had a wound on my foot that bled all over the carpet before I noticed it, and after treatment, you'd never know it had been there.) It's rather expensive - about ten bucks for a ten ounce spray can of it - but well worth it, and a lot cheaper than shampooing the carpet. |

"Judith Latham" wrote in message ... My next door neighbour had a cat, Sid, who had hyperthyroid issues and needed his medication. One day, not long after they moved here, Nicky came round to ask if we'd seen Sid as he hadn't come back in that morning and hadn't been home all day. He liked to be out at night no matter what the weather but was always there for his breakfast in the morning. As they didn't know anyone other than us yet I volunteered to go round the nearby houses to ask them to check their sheds etc. Anyway after about an hour or so Sid arrived home. They decided to keep him in that night but Sid was not pleased. He showed it by urinating in Nigel's work shoes. This was bad as he was a trainer for the customs department and had to look smart and so the shoes were expensive. He never did get the smell out of the shoes and had to throw them away. They let Sid out again at night after that. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. ~~~~~~~~ Sco Your neighbor 0 Sid 1 MaryL |
