Ear mites in cats

All it takes is a few drops of corn oil in your cat's ear.  Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing. from Gina

Old socks

When your dog has burst its favourite soft toy don't throw it out. Just put it in an old sock and tie a knot in it. Or if you have a few old socks knot them together to make a great toy for tugging. - Grippy Gordon
