This is just funny.

American "Family" Association decides to boycott Google, as well as continuing to boycott Oreos. Good luck with that!In other news, I just had to wrap my cat up in a towel and sit on her* to get her to let me apply her dental spray. Miss Kitty is almost as bad, because she's slippery as a worm, but I manage to get her without her going fucking nuts

Dental spray for a cat sounds like most horrific torture for the human caretaker ever. o.o Clipping their claws is bad enough most times, and they want us to spray something in their mouth? Yikes!

Congrats on getting it done. ^^ How often do you have to do it?

[ladydreamer]

Supposedly daily. I'll see how their teeth start looking, then I might give them some days off from the spray.

Oh dear... O.O

I suppose it would preclude the purpose of the spray to also give them treats for having it done? I've found my cats can learn to tolerate most obnoxious things (though not without protest still) as long as they know there's a treat at the end still.

Either that or ambush them when they're asleep. Catch them before they're awake and it's amazing what you can do in those few seconds before they realize it.

I've been giving them a treat afterward. The "dental" treats, which the like and I kind of doubt spend enough time in hteir mouths before they inhale them to actually clean anything. I think Miss Kitty will learn, and Yume will fight me forever.

Yume the fighter! At least Miss Kitty will learn.

Good luck!

The treats I used to buy for them were supposedly "dental" treats. I think the quantities required for it to make a difference were waaaaay greater than the amount I actually cared to give them.

(They did go crazy over those things, though. It was pretty impressive.)
