Dribbly cats usually need their teeth descaled.

It's not as easy as doing the kettle, though....:rotfl:

I'll remember that. Then I can play the "bad cat owner" card next time.

I'm with you there. I don't like dribbly animals of any kind. Why some people breed dribbly dogs is beyond me. Give me a collie any day.

Or, even better, a ferret.

Seriously though, I've never understood why dogs salivate so much, when their sense of taste is so appalling.

Dogs have died eating whole packets of slug pellets, even though they're laced with Bitrex. We had a dog that stole a whole bowl of chilli con carne and made itself violently ill.

Dog-dog doesn't slobber. Other-dog has a beard and gets water in it. She drinks a lot and likes a cuddle straight afterwards: its as bad as dribble. Weirdly we've noticed with that non-dribbly breed the girls cn get a little dribbly when they've had the snip.

I've never had a drooley cat, so I find it amazing though wouldn't want one either. I have quite enough trouble battling animal hair/mud etc without adding drool to the mix!

Davesnave, our dogs have eaten terrible things in the past. I remember in my dad's attempts to stop one of our dogs stealling butter he discovered the dog adored red hot chilli sauce. The dog got excited any time he could smel spicey food after his discovery of that. NB I most definitely do not endorse trying to spice your dogs head off as a method of training:mad:

After our dog ate the chilli she had terrible skin irritation and scratched herself raw. The food also disagreed with her digestive system.......but I'm not going there this early in the day! :eek:

I suppose the greed just a survival instinct thing, rather like some people amassing 'wealth' in forms they don't strictly need, because it makes them feel secure. After a year, we are now, fortunately, much 'poorer' than the folk who came before us here, though we are still giving away a few of their treasures at the local tip.

After all, we have treasure of our own!

Yuk, nothing worse than meeting a drooly dog on your walk and then having to walk off with a wet patch on your trouser leg and have it stick to you for the rest of the walk.....:eek:

My doggy doesnt drool, bless her, but she does have eyes that run and the substance that comes out of them STINKS!

Are there any nice people left on this board? I am sick and tired of the vitriol reserved for those who were not born in the UK. I think I have more in common with those born elsewhere who are nonetheless willing to take any job to support thwemselves and work and study rto get ahead than those born in Britain who are determined to take advantage of everything they are 'entitled to' with no thought of putting in to the system. It saddens me that no one else seems to feel the need to challenge the haters. It is begining to feel very like the 1930s.

Or individuals, or people who vote differently, or people who vote.

Curiously it seems some longtermers get ...softer, build rapport with old antagonists, others less so. Its still curiously beguiling though...
