to not want DD to touch MIL skanky bloody cat

[lucyellensmum]

While im moaning about MIL, we were there yesterday and i was less than subtle about shooing her cat away from DD. She didnt say anything but looked . I like cats and we have a dog who is always licking DD, but i KNOW my dog is wormed, whereas she blatantly refuses to worm, or let me worm her cat (the tablets are too big and might make it sick!! and it wont eat it in its food!!]

you let your dog lick your dd?

can't be doing with cats or dogs. muck machines both.

as for letting them lick you - barf!

LEM, are you sure you like your mil? Being licked by a dog is gross. How do you know your dog hasn't been licking its nether regions first?

Er, LEM, you really have a problem with your MIL, don't you!

God, I'm dreading being a mil!

LEM, you are going to need your own 'MIL' section of MN at this rate!

Don't take your hatred of your MIL out on the cat ...

or your hatred of the cat out on your MIL.

LEm, are you Les Dawson in disguise?

god oyu do hate your mil

Put vaseline on the cat.

LOLOL

Use the vaseline to give the cat the worming tablets.....

I have two cats and a baby DS. I don't worm my cats.

Quick! Call social services!

you can get "Spot-on" worming treatment (think it's called Drontal) for cats, so not wanting to give a tablet is a bit of a lame excuse, BUT if you let your dog lick your baby, you're being rather unfair to both your MIL and her cat.

Our cats have always been wormed once a year by the vet, and no more. Getting pills into a cat is very hard - they are much much more resistant (and wily) than dogs. I think that you are being unreasonable, and also that you should dissuade your dog from licking.

firstly, i love my MIL i really do

secondly, the cat is not healthy

thirdly, i am fully aware of how to dose a cat a worm tablet, i used to be a vet nurse.

fourthly, i am mental

so get some spot-on treatment and apply it when MIL is in the loo, or otherwise occupied

my ds has always played with opur cats and they are outdoors a lot so are probably riddled with allsorts!who cares builds his immunityb and character

Cats are far cleaner than dogs IMO. So long as dd isn't a thumb sucker during the day and you wash her hands well after touching it/ before eating. What is the problem? Is she allowed to pet farm animals at a local attraction, have a pony ride etc
YABU

I thought the way to worm a cat was to yank it's gob open, shove the tablet to the back of it's throat and then clamp it's mouth shut until it does that wretching, swallowing thing.

thats right laz\arou, it works every time ive never understood people who cant dose up a cat

We used to try to put the worming tablets crushed up in our cats food but she was never fooled.
