The Animal Clinic of Kalispell - September 2023

Hello, my name is Finley, and I’m a 1-year-old ragdoll. I’ve spent a lot of my life so far sick with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), but Dr. Ball and Dr. Clark worked hard to make me feel better. Now, I’m a very happy cat who loves to play and snuggle. My family includes my brother, Purrcy, who is about my age, and an older sister named Belle. Purrcy and I are best friends! Belle is serious and doesn’t like playing with us, but she sometimes cleans me. We all like to go out in our yard together when the weather is nice, and I’m the ringleader. It’s my job to paw at the door until Mom and Papa open it. Sick to Snuggly

5 Unexpected Uses for Dryer Sheets UNLEASH THE MAGIC

Dryer sheets, thin pieces of fabric coated with softeners, fragrances, and lubricants, are a game-changer when it comes to freshening and softening your laundry! However, did you know these thin sheets of magic can also work wonders in your kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom? Check out some of these awesome dryer sheet hacks! Clean your pots and pans. It’s a real bummer when you have food stuck to a kitchen pot or frying pan.

The silicone coating on the dryer sheet will help to soften and remove all the crusted food and particles left behind. Remove pet hair from clothes and furniture. If you have pets or visit a friend with pets, then you likely know the hassle of being carpeted in dog or cat hair. The same properties that reduce static on your clothes in the dryer are perfect for helping lift fur off your clothes and furniture. Just take a clean dryer sheet and wipe the area to loosen the hair. Then, follow up with a lint roller. Freshen up shoes. Nobody likes the funk of well-used sneakers and dress shoes. If your shoes have gotten a little ripe over time, add a scented dryer sheet to each one before returning them to your gym bag or shoe rack. Just remember to remove the sheets before slipping them on!

Since I’m a ragdoll cat, Mom says I should like to be picked up, but being held is not fun for me. I like having the freedom to move around! But when I want to be pet, you’ll know! I’ll bonk you with my head and shake my tail so you realize it’s time to pay attention to me.

Clean your car. There’s nothing worse than having a bunch of dead bugs all over your vehicle’s windshield and grill after a road trip. Dryer sheets have abrasive properties that are strong enough to remove the insects but are still gentle enough not to damage the paint and finish on your car. It’s a win-win! Remove soap scum. If soap scum coats your shower door and the corners of your tub or shower, use a damp dryer sheet to wash away the soap residue. It also works on hard water stains. The result is a sparkly clean shower without harsh chemicals!
