Hail fellow FAA'ers --
The AntiPam's challenge has fired up my imagination. Perhaps we can suggest some sensory delights to help her since she has to go PetTalk /Fur Addict 'cold turkey' while at work.
Which do you think would be most helpful? The 'pro' approach or the 'anti' approach shown below?
Pro:
Sight -- flash cards of our cuties for quick fur breaks
Sound -- maybe 'purrs' on one of those little keyring memo recorders?
Feel -- One of those little fake fur samples they used to send in catalogs. I kept them to sew together for a sleeping bag for my niece's Barbie. Anybody seen these recently?
Smell -- An empty Fritos sack!
Taste -- ??? I, for one, don't want to go here. :D
Or should we go Anti-FAA (In the hopes that she won't feel _so_ deprived?)
Sight -- Photos of our babies having a "Oh heavens, my pet human is INSANE" moment? Photo of an heirloom being whacked off a table? Close-up of upholstry that's been ... shredded?
Sound -- Recording of a hairball displacement challenge? An endless 'digging to China' litterbox moment? A distant, nameless thud or crash?
Feel -- Dried kibble to be placed in her shoe? A straight pin to apply to a tender nerve? A simple shredding of one leg of a pair of pantyhose?
Smell -- We can ALL go here, but do we want to? I think not.
Taste -- Ditto.
