When Archie was little he was a nightmare chewer. We tried bitter apple spray which really worked. No other stop chewing spray worked.

I’ve tried the spray stuff but he just licks it off. This chair as you can see is bu**ered the greyish horizontal line used to be a tasselled fringe thing, which lasted approx 2 minutes after Dennis saw it ( old fashioned I know - it was my dads chair) then he set about destroying the rest of it.

I had something similar and it turned out to be caused by Sodium Lauryl Sulphate which is in absolutely everything. My dentist diagnosed it. Initially it only caused lichen planus in my mouth. Dentist advised switching to Weleda toothpaste. Lichen Planus cured.
A year later l started getting itchy skin so experimented with cutting out SLS. It worked. no more iching. Started back on it - itching and rashes came back. Thank goodness for Weleda and Ecover products.
We are all different and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate may not be your problem - but it might be worth checking if it is or not.

Update on the stressful situation at my building --
This morning I left a voicemail message for the Minister to Seniors at the local church affiliated with this apartment building, telling him briefly about my concerns.
A couple of hours later I got a call from the director here telling me not to worry about the KittenCat, that I will be given several days' notice when work will be done in my apartment, and to let her know when I receive the notice, as she will take care of my cat and me.
About 5 minutes after this conversation the Minister to Seniors called me "just to get back to me about my voicemail message." I have a sneaking suspicion that he got my message, called the director here and talked with her, and that that is why she FINALLY called me.
She has not proved herself reliable in the past but I have logged our conversation, an outside "authority" figure knows about it, and thankfully the KittenCat knows nothing about it all and is right now purring and making biscuits on my lap.
And I am utterly exhausted.
Thank you all for your kindness and support and feedback with my venting and worries.
Thank you, I get so many cheery comments from people wherever I wear it. Today I can count 8 the final one being from a lovely Irish lady who showed us around a care home for MIL, she used a phrase I had not heard before, "that's a very chatty hat, love it" .Love the hat.
I was slightly more fortunate than you MC I realised as soon as I switched the upstairs light on...so got back to bed immediately...good luck with the search for MIL's residential place it's never easy but I agree we have to find some humour in the most unexpected circumstances at times.must be something in the air, I woke at 3am and like you thought I had slept well, it was not until I got down stairs I realised how early it was so went straight back to bed.
Morning...woke up earlier stretched out thinking I'd had a great sleep...switched on the light it was 2am...straight back to bed...off to Wood Green for 9am Charlie & Lola's third injection then that's it for another year...I hear ya @DJC3 with the Christmas presents & Dennis already had to do my 'No we don't do that naughty' as Lola hauled herself up to the presents twice now...London & our office later to drop off the tarts/cakes then will meet my niece & her daughter for a spot of supper before heading home...Olivia next door is kitten sitting she is so excited to be in charge of them...a couple of days ago she tidied their room all their toys were in a straight line...their food bowls were lined up all their blankets were folded neatly...needless to say that didn't last long...woke to a 6.5
DJC you know it didn't work but it made me feel I am doing my best to bring them up rightAnd did the ‘no we don’t do that, naughty’ work? Or were you studiously ignored like I am? Dennis has a great ‘hurt innocence’ expression. I bet Olivia can’t wait to be in charge.
Hope the traffic is kind.
No it's a great feeling to be needed & wanted OBB...be grateful & accept itthis is Purgatory
