We have been replacing the ceiling in the living room. A messy business since the old ceiling was plaster and lathe, and we had to remove the old crumbling plaster before hefting up the sheetrock. The guy that has my needle threader soldered to his van has been helping. He is your typical "manly man" sort that tends to work harder than he really has to most of the time, which really makes him perfect for pulling down plaster. In typical "manly man" fashion, he scuffed his knuckles up pretty good in the course of things. I directed him to the antibacterial soap and the peroxide, and suggested he use some of the antibiotic ointment with painkiller in the first aid kit. He came toddling back out with a spray can in hand and said "Hey Ma! This stuff rocks! Where did you get it?" I told him it was a post-surgical med and pointed out that it had a prescription label on the side. You would have thought he would have noticed a big white sticker with a paw print completely covering one end. He read out loud, "Thorncat Bemis, spray incision and under tail area at least twice daily or as needed for pain" That was when he freaked out a bit. Apparently putting something that had been sprayed on a cat's backside on one's hands is not in accordance with the "manly man" code. We had to talk him out of dousing his hands in alcohol. I assured him that what she had was not contagious, so he was very unlikely to get feline vaginal cancer on his knuckles. Oddly enough that did not seem to help.
It was just Dermaplast, used in human hospitals as well as veterinary. Probably quite good for his scrapes. He is so going to be reassured that everything from road salt to coffee creamer has NOT been sprayed on a cat's a** for the foreseeable future! LOL!
