Questions

Logo for ThriftyFun Questions

Matted Fur on a Long Haired Cat?I have a long haired cat who loves being brushed, but she has developed fur clumps on her back and near her hind legs. I don't want to have her shaved. Is there anything I can rub into the mats to loosen them? I was told that SeaBreeze works, but is it toxic to cats?

Making a Travel Photo Collage?I want to do a photo collage of different family photos and also vacation photos. I want to do it in a size about 12x15 or maybe a bit larger.

Buying an iPad?I want to buy an iPad, but don't know whether to get 16g or 32g. There is about a $100 difference for more storage. Do I need extra storage? I also have a laptop computer. I really don't know which to buy and do I get iPod 2 or 3? Any feedback from current owners is appreciated.

Protecting Hosta Plants From Slugs?My Hosta plants are attacked by slugs when the leaves are at their peak! I have tried the beer in low cans which does help but they are messy to clean and when it rains they all have to be refilled again. I also tried putting eggshells around the base of the plants but this was not very successful in controlling them. Does anyone have a non-toxic solution to this problem?

Painting Rusty Metal Doors?I have Bilco cellar doors. No matter what anti-rust paint or treatment I use, the rust still breaks through the paint. Is there any product out there that will work to prevent rust from breaking through--either a special primer and a final coat or whatever anyone uses that works. Thanks.

Getting Rid Of Insects In Locust Trees?I have 2 locust trees around 20 years old in my yard. I have had them trimmed twice as they are quite large. I am noticing that there are a lot of dead branches now on both trees. I am assuming some insect or fungus is attacking them causing foliage to cease and limbs to dry out.
