I have stumbled upon a new training aid ! IVAN the TOEABLE has defeeted even Bitter Apple in his quest for toes and finally, I believe I have stumbled (no pun intended) upon an answer for those beleaguered folks out there owned by pea brained carnosaurs intent on amputating any and all digits found under the sheets or otherwise naked on the kitchen or bathroom floors. Oil of Peppermint extract! Generic is fine..found at your friendly local neighborhood Safeway or PigglyWiggly or WinCo...it DOES have a bit of Alcohol in it as a carrying agent as does Bitter Apple, but that does evap quickly and besides...our fuzzies aren't gonna drink it...trust me on that one. Ivan got a whif of it on omy toes and hasn't been back since except to scratch on my feet where he cannot now nibble, looking up as if to say...what up with this Wriggly's effect, dad? He REALLY doesn't like it. Just a dab'll do!!! Oh, and DO NOT use peppermint toothpaste as it has flouride in it and THAT is POISON!!! Putorius with the sweet smelling and intact toes (and a frustrated IVAN) PS...I have rubbed it on a few cabinet doors and it seems to work there as well...hmmmm... [Posted in FML issue 4698]
