Removing Facial Hair?
When there are just a few hairs on my upper lip I use an emery board. Nothing is going to be permanent except maybe electrolysis, so the emery board is a good backup between shaves or depilatories. I dont have a lot of hairs so sometimes I pluck, and sometimes...

Tracey (Cat)
To Lyonpridej. I would not give more than 2 heaping tablespoons at a time, maybe 3 times a day. Spread it out so he gets the benefits of yogurt but it doesnt give him the runs. Keep an eye on things and youll be able to regulate to suit you and your cat. Tracey...

Madame, Spot, and Pugsley (Cats)

Try to be sure you rub in the ointment well so the dog cant lick it off (if he/she can reach it), which could cause even more problems. And dont use the harness as is. Readjust it or use something else. You know what its like if our shoes dont fit right and...

Why Would a 10 Month Old Cat Go In and Out of Heat Repeatedly?
I had 2 sister cats and before they were fixed someone was always in heat. It was relentless. Its not uncommon that it happens frequently; I always thought there was more time in between each bout, but thats not necessarily the case. Dont be concerned that...
Resident Cat Aggressive Towards New Cats?
KansasCindy is right ... they may never become friends. I have four spayed females and one in particular is always the outsider. Its taken almost two years for her to be tolerated (just every once in awhile) by two of the others. If they get into a scrap, spraying...
Keeping Cats Off Counter Tops?
Cats dont like aluminum foil either. Try taping some to the counters where they usually jump and they should get the heck out of there in a hurry, and hopefully, never go back. Worth a try ...

Thanksgiving Turkeys
Ive never understood how someone could raise a living creature and then kill it. Im not a vegetarian and I understand this is all Gods plan of the food chain. I know we all have to make a living and farms are very important, but damn if this doesnt blow my...
Thanksgiving Turkeys
Please! to wacky camper! Lots of things have been done for years but it doesnt make them appropriate or acceptable. Raising an animal, feeding them and taking care of them with the ultimate goal of sending them to slaughter for your consumption does not sound...
Thanksgiving Turkeys
Ok everybody. I want to publicly apologize for any flare-ups I may have caused. The turkey situation is something that is done and acceptable in many parts of the world -- just not in mine. I was really taken aback by this and didnt mean to start a blog or...
Oatmeal Bags for Itchy Skin
Dabbing on vinegar (white seems to be the best, but others work too) helps relieve itching and the burn from a sting. Sometimes just one application does the trick. Always worked for my kids and me. Dilute it for sunburn and spray it on. It balances the pH...

Photoshop works wonders as well. Its expensive, too, but these are wonderful tools to have and use. Good job!
