Hey.. I use vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda as my cleaning products too!

I'd like to learn more about cleaning with these. Does the house smell weird when you use it? Does it kill germs? Can I use it on floors and bathroom or kitchen counters without issues?

The house smells of vinegar for a bit, but its alcohol so it dissolves into the air quickly - the others have so scent issues, I use them on everything from the bathroom to kitchen and cat's litterboxes

interesting read. Can I just use the regular white vinegar that can be bought in stores? I think I am going to give it a try.

The cheap stuff actually works best.

If you want something really really disinfected, mix vinegar & rubbing alcohol (1/2 & 1/2) & use that to clean.

um..good to know...p will hate it if the house smells like vinegar

[kittyc]

Okay okay, I am a dumb dumb.

Bleach is on sale at Food Basics and when Peacester told me about it, I told her that its so far away from me...so she offered to buy it for me...

THEN, today, when we got off hwy 404 to woodbline, P said, if you ever want me to pick up anyth from food basics...then i was like OMG! I never notice this one here! Every weekend I go to work with him and we always take that exit to go for dinner afterwards...and I was thinking of..poor peacester.....

yeah Peacester, i know u hate me now...

And sunraven is gonna send me to timeout....

Now peacester got to carry it to DT for me and I got to carry them back home.....

omg, you are both too sweet! I was actually joking about the antibiotics.

I have some antibiotics for my cat that she just flat out refused to take.

Ask your vet to write the prescription for you and get it filled just about ANYWHERE but the vet's - it's highway robbery, I tell you...you can get most of them filled at SDM or WM or whatever.

Call me when you get the prescription, I'll find the name and dosage. If they're the same, then by all means, have at it...Quincy already hates me!

Quincy doesn't hate you. He sat nicely with you when I went on that aluminum foil quest (& failed miserably). lol

I'll get a scrip & contact you. Thanks so much for the offer! You are such a sweetheart.

I probably have cat antibiotics around too

I agree though, take the prescription to a pharmacy instead of getting it at the vet - my local pharmacy, when we had a sick cat, would compound all of the meds into one for him to take easier (and to save my fingers from pilling him with 4 separate pills 3x a day) - my vet wont do that

Thank you, I really appreciate the offer! You are a sweetie too!

I don't think I'll have too hard a time with the pills. We do "pretend" pills once a month, just for practice. I insist both of them open their mouths (dog has to put up with my nonsense too) & put a little bit of cheese about the size of a pill at the back of their throats & insist they swallow.

Yes, clearly I'm crazy, but when the animals are smarter than I am, it's called self-preservation. With the dog, she was on a ton of pills (antibiotics, deworming, vitamins, then probiotics after the antibiotics) when I first got her from the shelter. She got very clever at stripping the yummy coating from any pill & spitting the yucky potent part out. Then she got even more clever & started keeping the yucky part under her tongue (cause I'd check) & then spitting out & hiding what was left of the pill.

Have I mentioned that I'm the one with the lowest IQ in this household?

But make ABSOLUTELY SURE to put that in a special spray bottle and label it accordingly - it should only be used on stuff that won't react w/alcohol, and to be safe, after letting it evaporate once you've cleaned whatever it is, if it may be used for food prep / consumption, I would go over it again w/just plain water.

Screamy gonna hit me

At Peacestar's leisure...you'll never see it coming!

I have pilled so many cats now it really doesn't phase me, I find if they know you aren't messing around they just swallow.

I once had to give my old cat a banana flavoured (and coloured) liquid antibiotic, he projectile vomited it back onto my white shirt - now I only want pills for them LOL
