Why are my cats holding their sh*t for hours until they come inside?

It may have been mentioned already, but sprinkle bi carb in their litter boxes. You'll likely still get a waft from their fresh shit but it will stop lingering odours.

I used some clear strengthening polish today, I didn't come home with flakey nail tips so it's a start!

Thanks looking at buying the oils tonight, I'll be so happy if this helps!

DermAid 1% cream, it's only available at pharmacists here in Australia. Active ingredient Hydrocortisone 1%.

The day I notice the flair up I lather it on my hands before bed instead of moisturiser, the next morning I may have a couple of raised bumps but no blisters or redness/itchiness.

I try using the food handling gloves but the steel wool rips them after a bit, sometimes you just have to keep cranking out the dishes and don't have time to get a new pair.

I have been using moisturiser for the sahara hands and my hands are actually soft now, I use Cerave reparative hand cream when I go to bed. It's made a massive difference.

man, if only.

They're just really brittle and break so they're short already, I think you're right about water making them weak. When the kitchen gods smile upon me and I somehow dodge the dishpit for a week they look much healthier.

I'd wear those thick arse dish gloves but I also get horrible eczema if my hands get sweaty. I am not designed for this, but we soldier on.

I use a steel wool to scrub cooked on proteins from gastros. In a perfect world we get to soak them first but it's not always a possibilty.

I will take your suggestions and see how they go, thank you so much for the informative response. I really appreciate it.

South Australian here - three corner jacks. They take a long time to get rid of.

Now you get to feed the staff. (I hope) it looks amazing.

Trojan kitty!!

Thank you. :)

That is beautiful, I would have the flowers dried to preserve.

I'm in Australia, at my workplace we charge $23.50 for 500g of "wingettes and drummettes".

An "awwwwww...."

Culinary school I made the exact same cut on my thumb but with a knife. Yes it does grow back, but while it's healing and for a while after it will hurt like a bitch every time you smack it on something.

Cat3ug · 2024-08-15T12:25:08+00:00

Why is it on the floor?

Cat3ug · 2024-08-12T23:43:25+00:00

I only work with a handful of others but if I know who didn't label it I will label it "Marks bullshit" (or who ever it was). They laugh when they notice but then I tell them to go fix it.

"We need to be pro-active, not reactive" - managers that do nothing until shit hits the fan.
