I didn't see the point in starting 2 different threads, so hopefully people who can help with either of these questions will stumble upon this thread!
First:
I noticed today at the pet store (I seem to be going there a lot lately!
Spoiled cats!) that they have a tartar removing liquid that can be added to water. Does anyone know if these actually work, or are they are marketing scam? I have the toothpaste and toothbrush for the cats, but no one (us, or that cats) seem to have much interest/tolerance of brushing those tiny little teeth! I thought maybe the liquid would be a good alternative. Has anyone used them?
Second:
I'm not complaining, but it's darn cold in our apartment. We live in a basement apartment and the upper neighbours have control of the thermostat. I don't really want to ask them to turn it down because, having lived in basements before, I know that there can be a huge difference in temperatures on different levels of a house. I have just been putting on a sweater and some socks. Should I be providing a source of more warmth for the cats, and, if so, what can I use? There are blankets in some of their sleeping spots and I'm not comfortable keeping a heating pad plugged in all day while I'm at work. I can't think of anything else that would provide heat for an extended period of time. If anyone has any suggestions (or just want to say not to worry about it!), that would be great!
Thanks!
