If it's good enough for the cat....

[Grip_Maker's_Wife]

This morning's conversation with my husband:

John: "What did you do with the shampoo that was in the shower?"
Me: "You mean the cat shampoo?"
John "What?!?! I've been using cat shampoo for the past two weeks?!?!!"
Glad to know my husband doesn't have fleas...

It reminds me of an incident when I was growing up. My dad came home from a business trip late at night after everyone was already in bed. Soon the house was filled with a horrible odor which woke us all up. My mom came charging down the hall into the kitchen where my dad was and asked him "What the heck are you cooking?" My dad held up a can labeled "Blue Mountain Beef Stew". My mom said "That's DOG food!" Luckily my dad hadn't taken a bite yet!

A Friend used to raid My Mom's Fridge when He came over and one day He made a Tuna Sandwich,He even used Mayonnaise and told Mom it was the best Sandwich He ever had,My Mom broke up and told Him it was the Cats Food left in a Bowl She put in the Fridge to save for the Cat,I never seen a Guy run outside to throw up so fast in My life and from then on He always asked for something to eat.

Wait, WHAT?!?! You wash your cat?!?! We have 3 and one, Duke, is a main coon mix and weighs about 25 lbs. Trying to bathe that guy would be a really BAD idea...REALLY Bad.

He is a gentle soul but we go out of our way not to get on his nerves. We had occasion back when we first got him to experience his reaction to being bathed.

Though my cats food, is $40 a bag, she still insists on testing some of mine. Yesterday, I made some faux mex food and added a LOT of Salsa Verde to it. I left the plate on my end table, Shasta snuck a lick and regretted doing so. She never did that before and I had no reason to believe she would this time. No doubt, Shasta learned her lesson.

Ringo, you should know that your cat (all cats) are always on the lookout for an opportunity to steal a lick or a bite of some tempting people food. They may seem uninterested but they are always, ALWAYS lookin' for a shot.

We used to have a cat. Washing it was easy. We'd put some shampoo in the toilet bowl, drop the cat in, close the lid and flush. After much thrashing around, we'd open the lid, and out would come a very disgruntled but very clean cat! Just had to take it out in the back yard to rinse with a garden hose.

Some of you may remember this.

Years and years ago, before the brand ever "crossed over" into the human market, people (men and women) began using Mane 'n Tail Horse Shampoo on their hair. This was before it was sold in drugstores and places like that...was only sold in western stores and equestrian-oriented stores...this was way before the Internet came along.

The word of mouth advertising was so strong, places began selling out of the stuff, had to backorder it.

I used it regularly. Great stuff. Just used it on my mane, though.

Doesn't everyone do this?

Two of my dogs (both shorthairs) eat jalapenos. They like the ones in the jar over the ones I grow!

Always carried a case if corned beef hash in the saddle compartment of the stock trailer. Got rained in when working cows on a dirt road that you did not drive when wet because you would leave deep ruts and would not be very popular with other ranchers who had to use the road.

The case had wore out and the cans were just rolling around in the trailer, their labels had worn off. My dog and I eat the corned beef and it was really good, I wondered why no potatoes, but liked it better without them.

Took about a week for the road to dry out and we came back to town, I asked my son to remember to get more corned beef because we had eaten it all. He told me the corned beef hash had been gone for a long time, we were eating his dog's dog food.

I still think the dog food tasted better than the corned beef hash we were buying. Dogs have it pretty good! Wish I knew what kind of dog food it was!

We were camping one time and I didn't have glasses on. I tried to brush my teeth with Ben Gay. It tastes really funny.

Let's just say there are better uses for the stuff than oral hygiene and leave it at that.

My dad used both Desenex and Colgate powders.
Do the math...

I used liquid hand soap by mistake thinking it was toothpaste.
Nasty stuff.

Heh heh, I learned my lesson. I THOUGHT she was tamed? but apparently still has the devious evil scheming mind she always had.

Heh heh, I know Shasta doesn't, they are a major part of the heat I add to my Salsa Verde.
