Cats are very sensitive to gas smell

Posted By: KMT on 2007-08-12
In Reply to: Odd cat behavior - sm

It wouldn't hurt to have it checked. They always have stories on the news of how animals(cats especially) save people from gas leaks when the people had no idea there was one.

I think you need to be a little more sensitive.
People grieve in different ways and just because she never got to hold her baby doesn't make her grief or pain any less.  There is a time and place for the dust yourself off and get back on the horse type of thinking.  I don't think this is it.
sensitive teeth
Is there a baking soda toothpaste out there that might work? Is baking soda mild on your teeth?


No, I don't think so. Too sensitive? You can't say things like sm
you did (which was so rude and, well,I won't say it) by the way, but just MHO,and then say, "gee, some people are so sensitive!"

This is a sensitive subject, but is anyone else SM

Tired of the commercials advertising products for feminine odor?  I just heard this again several times yesterday and it is degrading.  If anyone has an odor bad enough that you are offending others there is a simple remedy . . it's called soap and water.  Is it me, or is that disrespectful to women?  Why don't we discuss some of the more delicate matters regarding men on TV?  I could name a few. 


Quit being so sensitive...nm

I think cats look beautiful - love pics of cats

They can also be he!! on wheels to live with and a major PITA.


I say this as my dog is barking at a leaf blowing by the front door.....


Loved Montego Bay but I have very sensitive
nose. I would certainly return there but only with a clothes pin. I think toiletries such as soap and deodorant might be an expensive thing to buy on the island.
Have you tried Crest for sensitive teeth?
I used it and it tastes just like regular toothpaste. May want to give it a try.
I am nearly as bad as he sounds as far as having highly sensitive skin -
I get a red, itchy welt if a mosquito even lands on me. I have also been bitten by horseflies. My doc has recommended just Benadryl lotion on the offending bite and then 2 of the pills. I also put ice on my skin to help with the swelling and itching. You might try this before you take him in. Best of luck. :-)
Ohh, Cetaphil, try their soap for dry and sensitive skin!
Wonderful products!
Any suggestions on a MILD toothpaste for sensitive teeth?

Seems like every toothpaste on the shelf any more has MAXIMUM strength this, that, and the other thing. Well, some of that stuff irritates the heck out of my mouth and gums.


I'm currently using Sensodyne but it a) tastes nasty and b) irritates my mouth.


Any suggestions? TIA.


Makeup question - mascara for sensitive eyes

I don't wear makeup every day, but I do on the rare occasion that I go out.  It seems like my mascara has been really irritating my eyes lately when I wear it.  I've tried a couple different brands, but they all seem to do it.  My eyes get dry and itchy and I've been getting little annoying styes.  Can anyone with sensitive eyes or contacts recommend a mascara that doesn't irritate your eyes?  Thanks!!

I can smell it now

  Food= Prune cake (tastes like a chocolate chip cake with pecans in it)  My grandmother always made it for me I now make it for my kids and friends but it is now called ChocoChip cake.


Present=  Still to this day I LOVE the coupons my daughter makes.  Free baby sitter.   Run your bath.  Cook Supper. Clean the Kitchen.  and my favorite my reusable unlimited hug coupon good for the next year. These presents are the ones that make me cry and she always seems to come up with a new coupon that has a special meaning for me.


Christmas isn't all about the money to everyone.  If you dont like the way things are then start by changing them at home and you'd be surprised how far reaching those changes can be.  MERRY CHRISTMAS.  


I can smell those now but
which ones, if any, would I be able to have inside my home? Payday today and gonna head out later to get something sweet.
Tried it! Now they smell like cat poo.
Still, it is in improvement.

< just being silly >
Another way to get the smell out s/m

is using vinegar.  My cats no longer have accidents in the house, but when they did, this worked wonders!  I have one of those Bissell green machines and mix it with water.  I have to make sure the litter box is cleaned daily and I also have 2 boxes.  They aren't that picky on the type of litter that I get, so I'm lucky on that part. 


I would definitely get some cat toys, maybe her own blanket rubbed with catnip to start with and hopefully she will start to give some respect.  Maybe she wants her own bed? LOL


My son has a cat that will allow no one but him to touch her (except if she is hungry of course).  She will come up and act nice, but when you pet her, she bites.  We have all just learned not to mess with her as we cannot get rid of her as it would greatly upset my son. 


If she is still doing it, go to the vet.  The other poster is right about possible urinary tract infection, etc. 


Actually, it really does not smell much at all. s/m

I also like to get the "mentholated" kind -- it makes my skin tingly!!  And don't forget, the generic brands are much cheaper!!


You can use other primers that don't smell quite sm
as bad as Kilz. I only use Kilz in the summer when I can open the windows. It can make you pass out without good ventilation. Otherwise, I use a latex primer which works just as well although I sometimes have to use 2 coats. I agree, though, the oil-based Kilz is the best.
I had one and even descented, they smell.

Ferrets smell really bad!


You are so welcome!! I was also worried about the smell,
especially since I noticed it was also for horse manes, but it sure did help our hair. So glad it helped your little one!! :)
If you are not a smoker you will be able to smell - sm
it on him a mile away. Obviously if you smoke you won't be able to smell it, and also the odds are he will smoke too (that is if you do). If you don't smoke it is possible he is telling the truth, as for punishment for having them the obvious answer is to withhold something he loves for a couple of weeks, whether it is TV, or afterschool activities, or video games, or driving if he has a learner's permit. Good luck.
they smell chemical changes...
my friend had kept a retreiver that wandered up and when my friend got pregnant, Fancy would not part from her side until after the baby was born. My neighbor had trouble with her son and his "friends". Somehow, the bull got loose and was kept for 2 to 3 days in the front yard (we're in the country) until the fence was mended. That is when she found out he made a good watchdog; he would not let any of the "potheads" in. Anybody doing drugs was greeted with earflapping and then a charge!
vaginal smell
Has anyone had any bad smell after using K-Y jelly even after taking a shower after four hours, I mean a foul smell?
smell test
I can tell when the teacher has hugged my kid because she smells like the perfume the teacher wears.

A school day is long. Better the teacher is kind to your child than mean (and there are both kinds of teachers.)
Oh, I can just smell the aroma now
I have read this and thanks so much. I have been using the drip and fussing at hubs who is usually the one to "upgrade" things around the house. I told about having the Cuban coffee the other day and yummy! I thank you for this and will print off so I can contain the information you sent. Thanks!
At least you are smooth and smell nice. LOL.

Hold on, now - not all old folks have that smell
I have an aunt who is 89 and she always smells so good, likes her really nice perfume and never a stinky. She is in 80 group. I am quickly getting to that ole folks age but I also love smelling nice although I don’t do the perfume as I love those nice shower gels.
Loss of smell and taste
Thank you so much for responding.  It is bothering me somewhat as when I mentioned this to my primary care doctor he didn't seem to think it was something to be concerned with, or at least that was my impression.  I will be seeing the ENT doc on Friday and hopefully I can get some answers.  I guess I will have to get used to eating food and not being able to enjoy the flavor.  I also read on line about smells, spoiled foods, gas fumes, etc.  Thanks again and I am glad you are doing well otherwise.
Loss of taste and smell (SM)
Hello all - I was wondering if anyone on this board has ever lost their sense of taste and smell due to an upper respiratory infection and/or chronic sinusitis.  This happened to me about 3 months ago and I assumed I would regain my sense of taste and smell but I haven't yet.  Any suggestions as to treatment would be greatly appreciated.  BTW I will be visiting an ENT specialist soon.  TIA
smell of giblets cooking
My husband got a tip from Food Network this week.  Don't cook the liver with the rest of the giblets.  The liver is what gives off the nasty odor and makes the broth bitter.  Happy Thanksgiving!
JJ says stop and smell the roses...sm
and congrats to his "cousin" for the win!
I love anything with the smell of Vanilla
I don't wear much perfume, but I love Vanilla Fields.
the urine doesn't have a smell
I don't know she has urinated until...ugh...I "feel" it when I lay down
Is there a way to get smoker's smell out of a house?
I found this amazing place to live across from the beach (the only reason I moved to where I moved) that is affordable and totally decent. Two male roommates that are totally awesome, i have already been welcomed into their family (they are cousins). The problem is they have smoked inside the condo... I asked them about it and they said they had no problem smoking outside. Two questions: Is it wrong to ask them to? and second, is there even a point if I cannot get that smell to ever go away? I REALLY am trying to look into any possibility because ive been looking for months for something EXACTLY like this, i dont think it comes available often...

Thank you for any suggestions
Then I smell something fishy here, why would the g'mother
try to take bankruptcy with such an income like that? I would be willing to say someone is trying to scam some government agency such as welfare or the like.
Love the smell of outside drying sm
Nothing better than sheets off the line, however, most newer people in the neighborhood frown on clotheslines so we go along to get along. If you live in a plat of newer homes this may be in your purchase and sales agreement - no clothes lines, etc. I sometimes will hang out seasonal items just for the day on my deck and get remarks like, "Haven't you heard of a dryer?" I really miss the smell of clean, air-drying but use the dryer with dryer sheets - not the same. Just the feel of fresh air sheets makes me sleepy, I miss that smell, nothing like it. Yes, the towels are a little rough on the line but you can use a soap with softener built in. Where I go to the beach in the summer, everyone hangs out their wash and it dries in an hour. Guess I'm old fashioned. Have to go by the current rules, some don't know what they're missing. We have a leash law so never let pets out loose, one got away one day and got hit by a car, so we are extra careful not to let our dog near the front door as you never know. Rules, rules, but things are not the same - the world is getting more and more crowded so we have to go with the flow. In the newer developments they are not even making sidewalks, so there's no place to walk, geez!
oh yea don't forget the smegma smell
HAHAHAHA
Well I guess that would explain the rotten egg smell!
LOL, we always got a laugh about the fact it smelled like rotten eggs. A Jersey girl here too. Cute story though.
...another test, but again, I forget what the smell is supposed
s
Tried that - Montana cool air and sunshine for all day but I can still smell it. Maybe I'm more
sensitive to it than other people?
Odo Ban - I highly suggest it. The smell is terrific. sm
especially if you have animals, etc. My friend gave me hers as she bought it from Sam's Club and I love it. You get a gallon jug and then a sprayer. It's an all-in-cleaning. She even puts it in her towels when washing. I just am very pleased with the smell. Just a little suggestion if you are having guests this holiday season!
Me too..I love the smell...remember the "pearl" it used to have in it? (sm)
a looong time ago? but then I also remember a few of the sodas that had cork under the bottlecap. And I'm only 40. Things sure have changed a lot!
Expensive, but love smell of my little grandson.

I love the smell of a gravel road...sm
I think foreigners/men with accents are sexy....

I was valedictorian and voted most likely to succeed...now I'm a SAHM who does transcription to supplement our income. I wouldn't trade a single moment with my kids for the most successful position in the world...


My favorite guilty pleasure is watching stupid movies with hot guys (like Spring Break Shark Attack).
Oh, c'mon now....abstinence? Wake up and smell the coffee. :)

Anyone know how to get cigarette smoke smell out of books? I bought several
reference books and they just stink.  Any ideas?
Hand them a lemon to smell and taste and put sunlight on them

Thanks - I didn't realize they didn't like the smell of citrus
I have the feeling he doesnt have a UTI and he's trying to tell me something else, but I'll be taking him to the vets to be safe.
Cats

My only suggestion would be to have set feeding times for the cats, that way you can monitor which cat is eating what. Just a thought -


Although my cats have started to eat my dogs' food, so I guess I shouldn't be one to give out advice!
