i live in an urban area where re-upholstery is super expensive. I'm going to pack my beloved chair up and take it to my parents over the holidays, then pick it up next summer. I'll save $300 and its a good excuse to visit :)

I learned my cat is less likely to boot if the dish is off the floor. Big books are about the right size, and it provides a more natural position for the food to go down to their tummy. i'd probably boot too if i ate with my head pointing toward the floor.

My cat never ate my (poisonous) houseplants til one day he got hungry and chomped off a couple leaves, and then I was that crying, hysterical cat mom in the pet ER. Just get rid of them. Trust me, they are not worth the $$ and tears.

Lillies (especially Easter/Peace variety) are VIOLENTLY toxic to cats. As in, they shouldn't be in the same house because inhaling the pollen can cause kidney failure, and your cat could be dead in 8 hours.

I'm now in a plant-free house, but I'm okay with that after the big scare. And the cat is still alive, but his tummy was never the same.

I use vinegar baking soda on a cotton washcloth to clean my shiny chrome canisters. It's scratchy enough to get goo off, but soft enough to not mark the metal.
