So. My cat just pooped in the very expensive yarn I'm currently using. How do I recover from this? I have half a hat and half a ball of now quite smelly yarn. I shook out all the crap but what do I do now? Ignore it and hope it airs out? Hand wash the yarn and let it air dry? Spray with febreeze and never look the person I'm giving this to in the eye again? Burn it and give up knitting until i no longer have a cat?

I would look at soaking the yarn in an enzyme cleaner. My personal favorite is Skouts honor. I would also highly recommend putting away expensive things in the future. The container store has plastic shoeboxes that I use for current quilting projects. They are pretty much waterproof and hard to get into, so I don't have to worry about cat hair or poop or other demonstrations of spite.

Snip a small piece of yarn and test-wash it in the enzyme cleaner first to make sure it doesn't damage the yarn or change the color!

Hand wash! You got this

I would go for regular laundry soap or bar soap

Assuming it’s wool, use a wool wash or Eucalan and gently hand wash with minimal agitation, and hang to dry.

Been since May 23rd that I’ve completed my background check. Called the 3rd party company and they said the background check has been sent to the hiring company for review as of last Friday. Should I wait another day before following up with my recruiter about the status of the background check? I don’t suspect there to be any crazy thing, but I’m just anxious. I’ve just never had a background check take at or over a week. Advice?

Hi all! Has anyone developed a cat allergy after owning cats? For context, I grew up with cats and have two cats but recently have been getting rashes / hives for the past month. Flare ups happen mostly after carrying my cats etc.

Got a fat cat who has a timed/measured feeder. Still gaining weight. We were all stumped. Turns out my cattle dog shares her food with the cat every morning. Someone recommended a water spritz to get him away from the food. I basically soaked him for a few minutes while he stared at me and continued eating. Looks like I'll have to lock him up while the dogs eat from now on.
