Help!  I have been searching the internet for a home remedy for ear mites for my cat.    Most of the information involves a Vet.  Not that I am trying to avoid that but I can't afford that right now.  Mineral oil seems to be the most popular thing to use the get the "debris" out of the ear but what about over-the-counter medications?  Any suggestions from the cat lovers out there?

Does anyone have a good Corned Beef recipe?  Any family recipes handed down or something you have come up with?  I have one in my head that was how my mother cooked it with a little of my own input. She would cover the beef with mustard and cloves and smother it with brown sugar before she cooked it.  Soooo good!  Just wondering what else is out there.

Thought or ideas???

I live in an upstairs apartment with a large balcony.  I have several flower pots that I enjoy watering and taking care of.  I guess it's my therapy!  My question is I have a Sago Palm at the top of the stairs and my wonderful cats like to sit next to it and chew on the ends of the leaves.  I did a little research and found out that Sagos are highly poisonous if animals ingest them.  Does anyone have any suggestions for stopping them from gnawing on this plant?  Obviously I could move it up higher but I think they would still get into it.  Maybe a home remedy to spray on the leaves?  Any ideas???
