We had a Siamese cat named Taco that loved to hang around me all the time. She got into my artwork when I was painting and got paint in her fur. So, being a good Mom, I did what my Mother did to me and used turpentine to clean off the paint and then gave her a tub bath. She made the most ungodly noises, scratched and hissed and carried on. When I let her go she ran into her box into the furthest corner and not only wouldn't come out, she threatened anyone who tried to reach her. I read later that turpentine burns their skin....stupid me! Not wonder she had a conniption fit. |
