Oh oh - one of the resident skunks got Chester tonight.

He stinks. Badly.

Fred points out that washing a dog in tomato juice has got to be
vastly preferable to washing a cat in tomato juice.

Has this happened to anyone else's cat? Any ideas? Will he just
groom it off?

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Get thee to a pet store and buy Nature's Miracle Skunk Kit. It
neutralizes the odor by breaking down the (stinky) enzymes. I have 3
bottles of it in the garage at all times. I've used it twice on Happy
the Basset Hound... it is indeed nature's miracle!!

I was going to suggest spraying Chester with regular "Nature's Miracle".
(I should have known they would have already come up with a solution
for pets who've been "skunked"!)

The family dog got skunked when I was a kid and we tried tomato
juice...didn't really work..

But it looked REAL funny becasue she is an American Eskimo

I believe my mom used some time of remedy involving baking soda or
Hydrogen peroxide. She found it online

Now bathing a dog is one thing but bathing a CAT.....

Please give us a DETAILED story once finished...

purrs,

Kristi

nuts with various projectiles!

I hate that show for those reasons. The producers seem to think that the
worse the injuries the funnier it is. I'll leave the area if Rob insists on
watching it. Aw well, at least the kids can tolerate it and Rob isn't left
to his own devices.

I love it. I don't think of myself as a mean person, and I certainly don't
practice it in life, or I try not to. But those incredibly stupid videos
just make me LMAO. I don't know why. It is my guilty pleasure. I think
there is something a bit "Roadrunner and Coyote"-ish about it. You'd think
that after all the horrendous videos that have come out of dopey teenagers
doing stupid stunts with, say, golf carts, people would get a clue. But no,
there's always yet another dopey teenager with a golf cart, ready to go.

The guys on "Car Talk," Tom and Ray Magliozzi, always say that disaster
invariably follows the words "Hey guys, watch this!"

www.stupidvideos.com is FULL of dopey teenagers (and some adults) from
all over the world, some with golf carts, some with bikes, mortorbikes,
cars and segways....

That's pretty funny, and so true. I love those guys. In fact, I just
received a CD of Terry Gross interviewing them. That should be priceless.

Those guys are a hoot. I got to talk to them once about our van. All went
well until they asked a question about the color of the oil or something and
when I said, I would have to ask my husband" they say why can't you look? I
said no and told them why, they started to say something then went off mike,
I was laughing and told them to go for it. It was funny from there.

I'm really sorry, but LOL!! That has to be the understatement of the
century.

When I was in high school, our dog got sprayed by a skunk, and she
came inside afterward and totally stunk up the house. This was in the
middle of the night, and the smell was so bad I couldn't sleep. (It
did go away in a couple of days, though. And I don't think any tomato
juice was involved.)

De-stinkifying purrs sent your way!

Both you and Chester have my sympathy in the circumstances, Susan.
Poor guy! And poor Fred, if he was the designated tomato juice
bather. I'm sure poor Chester didn't appreciate it at ALL! (It is
mean and I apologize, but I have to echol Joyce's LOL at that image,
here.)

I'm sure it's hard to tolerate the smell of skunky-tomato cat, but
remember, Chester has even more sensitive smell than we do. And he's
right at the source of the smell, poor guy! I'm sure he's thinking
this was not one of his favorite days in his life!

Thanks Melissa.

Fred went to bed and *I* bathed the cat. Used hydrogen peroxide, dish
soap and baking soda, as per the Net. Worked pretty well.

When I come back in another life, I want to be married to me ... get all
my computer problems fixed and the cat bathed while I sleep!
