All About Pets- The weather outside
But the fire is so delightful and since your pets have not place to go, bring them in, bring them in, bring them in!! Our new winter scenery is beautiful, somewhat delightful and oh so cold, even if you have a built in fur coat. So the best place for your best friend is inside with you and away from the dangers of a New England.
One of the most common dangers for pets in the winter is antifreeze. This highly toxic liquid consists mainly of ethylene glycol which tastes sweet to our pets and when even a small amount is ingested an animal requires immediate treatment to survive. Tens of thousands of pets are poisoned by it each year. Some animals find the antifreeze in open containers left after someone has changed their coolant; others from the pooling which occurs if a vehicle has a leak in the cooling system. Either situation can easily be avoided by proper disposal of used coolant and/or speedy repair of a system which is leaking. Because it is also toxic to humans, it should never be left out where children or pets can access it.
Savvy Housekeeping » A Pet Hair Magnet?
I’ve talked a lot about my struggles with cat hair on here. An update on the situation: keeping the cats out of the bedroom has worked wonders–no more cat hair on the bed. We have a leather couch now, which has made it easier to clean up the cat hair that gets on it. Tennis balls do seem to work in the dryer for getting cat hair off clothes, and the microfiber glove does a pretty good job of finishing up the rest.
All and all, I’d say I’m 55% less inundated with cat hair than I was a year ago. Those are good odds, but I can’t help wishing it was more like 90%. Impossible without getting rid of the cats, you say? Maybe so. Still, my search for the perfect cat hair remover goes on.
Which brings me to the Pet Hair Magnet, which sells for $12.99 at major pet stores. It is being touted as a green alternative to lint sheets for getting cat hair off of things. Here’s what it looks like:
Apparently, it has ribbed rubber blades that pull up the cat hair for you, which you then rinse or wipe it away. It is a “greener” solution than lint rollers because you are not pulling sheet after sheet of sticky roller paper off and throwing it away, thus saving money and pressure on the landfill. While that’s nice and all, I have to point out that the microfiber glove is the same concept and costs half the price of the Pet Hair Magnet.
However, one advantage to this gadget I can see: because the surface is rubber and not microfiber, it might be easier to get the pet hair off the Pet Hair Magnet than the glove. With this, it sounds like it comes right off. With the glove, you have to push the hair off by working it in the direction of the fiber. And because I hate doing that, the Pet Hair Magnet is intriguing, indeed. But the real question is, how well does it work?
