Static shocks

[dinahsmum]

Oh dear - Bentley and I strike sparks off each other :? . I used to have problems giving Tizzie little static shocks every time we cuddled. I've just let Bentley in from outside and he was so pleased to be in from the cold I got a good fuss made of me, lots of rubbing and preening .... then it happened

Will I have to wear all natural clothing, or trail a little chain off my waist to earth it?
Any top tips? I don't think there are any :roll:

It's quite bizarre how some animals do it and not others :? I never get shocks from my dogs or cats but one of the horses I used to have gave me terrible shocks yet I never get a shock from Bootsy :smt017 I can't think of any suggestions really. We used to rinse all of our horse's blankets/rugs in fabric conditioner which helped but is obviously no help at all to you where Bently is concerned :roll:

Maybe some fabric conditioner in your bath water DM? :-D

:-D
and I don't think the boy would appreciate being shampooed and treated with hair conditioner :?

They're doing battle with their sardines now, so peace is restored. Don't think raw fish is going to be their favourite though - they'll be happy to leave the sushi to the Japanese cats

Hi DM I have no answers - Ocar I used to have the same problem but not always - or in a senario where I could avoid or work around it, it happened everywhere then would go weeks months with nothing- odd but we lived with it.

Never get them off Cleo or the girls.

Good luck. Karen

My old furnace doesn't have a humidifier, so all my life I've gotten shocks from the cats...have to be careful brushing Leia every night, as we both hate the shocks. Unless you want to invest in a humidifier I have no suggestions,,,,,,,,
