Late night drama

We live in the country.
This time of year, the whole house just smells like skunk. (mating season.)

The other night, one went off near the house. (A skunk, I mean)

I mentioned to DW that this one smelled particularly strong, and she
just replied, "welcome to spring". She then decided the furrballs
needed to come in for the night.

I settled down in the sofa, and started looking for something to watch
on the television.

About then, She started screaming "Tootsie is foaming at the mouth" and
my smallest came dashing around the corner, just glistening from the
skunk spray. (right in the face.) Mama running after her, slipping and
sliding around the corners.

DW is a city girl, and has never before had the pleasure of having a
pet being skunk sprayed. She thought the kitty was sick, and didn't
connect the overpowering stench with the kitty sickness.

Before I could stop her, she had scooped up her sick kitty and now "I"
had a problem. (I have to sleep with this woman.)

Suffice to say that the evening ended with mama and kitty both standing
in the tub, both bawling while I poured anti-skunk solution over the
both of them. (mix hydrogen peroxide with baking soda. Works
amazingly well)

(They both still stink some.)

My deepest sympathy to all. Purrs that they may smell sweet again! MLB

Thanks for the laugh. Now you owe me a new computer
keyboard since I spewed diet coke all over the one I
had while reading your message.

You'd be amazed at how much abuse some keyboards can take and still
function. Mine's a Compaq and it just keeps on going. It's gotta be at least
6 years old. (I could use a new one cuz the keys often get stuck in the down
position but my funds are incredibly low right now. Been going to have a
yard sale again but we haven't had a clear Saturday for quite some time.
Maybe next week... meanwhile the laughs keep me going in spite of other
troubles!)

You have my sympathies, but LOL, all the same! Poor kitty, what an
unpleasant experience!


My cousin's dog, Theda, a short haired brown and white spotted mutt,
had an unfortunate encounter with a skunk also, necessitating a
great deal of tomato juice bathing to de-skunk her. For a week after
that incident, Theda was a PINK and brown, slightly smelly mutt. =o)

Long time ago I taught myself to relish skunk odors. Think about it for a
minute... All our lives we've heard from other people - and it usually
starts long before we ever have the experience of smelling skunk odor - that
it's a "very bad" smell. But the truth is, it's just an odor, and it's
equally easy to enjoy it as to despise it, if one makes the effort.

Reminds me of one of the Stink's great hoolikitten escapades-- the day
he got a cocoa tin out of the kitchen cabinet, somehow pried it open,
got cocoa all over the floor, then rolled around in it. My eyes
almost fell out when I saw I suddenly had a (very chocolatey) calico.

I'm sorry, I can't buy this. We can train ourselves to "enjoy" all
bad smells? We evolved this way so our ancestors would know enough
not to eat things like rotting flesh, waste products, things loaded
down with bacteria and naturally-occuring (and other) chemicals that
aren't good for us. If a smell makes me gag, I somehow don't believe
I could "train" myself to like that smell.
