I am knackered. Been a long weekend, and as usual I didn’t do the sensible thing and crash out early last night. Damn internet. It’s all Al Gore‘s fault.
Thank you to the birdman on his advice about goose grass. I’ll try and get as many of the damn things out of her fur as I can. Turns out it was a *stone* wrapped in the fluff on her foot. Impressive.
Incidentally, for those with cats – don’t buy lillies as they can kill the poor buggers. Actually, there are shitloads of Evil Plants Of Cat Doom – please check this comprehensive list. Note that this includes a lot of common plants, such as daffodils. The difference with lillies is that their pollen is highly toxic and this can brush off on a kitty easily. Other plants need to have bits of their leaves chewed which is a lot less common.
End of public service announcement. And time for my beddy-byes.
See you in the funny papers.
That’s a rather outstanding list of Felitoxins (I claim rights on my made up word!)
I was surprised at the Onion, Horse Chestnuts, Mushrooms (!? Not exactly a plant). What the hell am I going to feed the neighbour’s cat now?
Hmmm…probably the same exact thing. That’ll teach the little bugger to keep sitting on my freshly washed car!
I’m off to Homebase.
Hi, Dr Jim – don’t think you’ve posted here before. Thanks for popping by! As for what to feed that cat… erm… cat food? 😉 At least if she’s sat on the car, she’ll scare the birds away!
Ss – it’s Tuesday. I await Tuesday ****.
It’s not just cats that lillies are bad for, its Caz’s too. I’m very allergic to them, we had them in our reception area at work a few times and I had to complain, because I couldnt even walk through there let alone cover reception.
No wonder they’re toxic!
Remember you saying, Caz. OK – no lillies in households with cats or Cazs.
I sometimes wish Al Gore had invented the internet. It would explain a lot of the world wide weirdness.
I sometime think the internet invented Al Gore and that he’s not a real person. It would explain some of the **** he came out with.
