Got these in e-mail from an Orztralian friend ... -+- Cooee Cobbers!!! Subject: TDJ-- PETS & HOT SAUCE, 12-2-03 TODAY'S TIPS: PET Department PETS & HOT SAUCE We have 2 new kittens and they are the devil incarnate. I have caught them chewing on electrical wires, plants and anything else they can get their little teeth on. I have tried different things to keep them away from their favored chew toys to no avail. Recently I decided to fight back with HOT SAUCE! Now I sprinkle hot sauce on the wires, plants and anything else they decide to chew and it works! I wish I had of discovered this before they ruined my answering machine! --submitted by Pat Hudson-Sommers Tim says: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Certainly gives me some ideas how to deal with my neighbor's SIX CATS who take turns marking their territories on my deck and furniture and chair pads. On hot, steamy days the ambiance is quite "mellow", to say the least. I wonder if Tabasco sauce comes in 50-gallon drums? The same neighbor also has THREE free-range dogs. Maybe my next pet should be a cuddly wolverine. + + + + + My Shih Tzu pup was obsessed with the cat's Litter pan, a tablespoon of cayenne pepper mixed with the litter stopped that in a hurry. Only one trip to the pan and the pup gave it up! --submitted by C. Rose -- ENJOY!!! Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen Home of Hardin Cider & Yaaaaa Hoooo Ahhhhh Hot Sauce!!!
