Detailed a Taxi

[swanicyouth]

Time to take one of the cats to the vet for a check up. Its a Pet Taxi - and it's dirty. Let's see how it arrived:

Inside I found some missing items:

Some BMW brake sensors and an old Hitachi throttle body:

Clean it up with APC+ 1:10 & a Montana Wheel Brush:

Rinse well:

Some good beading:

Beads well even on lower panels:

Time to dry:

Beauty Shot:

Total time: 15 minutes. The detail was easy. Getting the cat in the Pet Taxi - not so easy.

What a difference 15 minutes make. Great work. Sounds like you've got that market cornered.

^^^Be Careful!!!^^^

That appears to be the look of dissension, an anti-establishment leer in this Pu$$y-cat's eyes:
As if it's living on the 'eve of destruction'...Ready to Riot to be Free!!

There's an awful lot of that going around nowadays:

^^^ I hear Putin and his political commissars locked up the Pussycat Dolls and incessantly played the Bad Brains for them - Banned in D.C.

In the old NKVD / CheKa days it would have been "off with their heads" or a one way ticket to the Kolyma.

For sure. It's always the government that's rotten - not the people.

Chester is not happy

He looks a lot like mine! And we have the same problem I think Gives me that "judging you" look, so feisty!

Oh well, incredible nice topic! I must admit I was concerned (a bit) during the clean/wash process, but most laughed at Beauty Shot. A LOT! ahahha

Presentation is everything, your results looked as good as it gets. Much Better than cars I detail... hahaha

Also have 5 of those Chesters here, love them a lot.

Thank you for this topic,

Kind Regards.

If there are any cat people out their or anyone else interested in this silly thread, here is what ended up happening. I took my cat Chester, to the vet for a check up. He was last seen by the vet in August for a standard check up. The reason I took him was because I noticed he seemed to be losing weight - but still eating heartily. He is about 10-11 years old (was a rescue).

So, it turns out he did loose some weight. Luckily, they were able to diagnose his thyroid his very hyperactive - the lab test showed it was 2x as bad as the vet expected. I can't recall exactly what test the vet said he uses (TSH, T3/T4), but he was expecting it to be high, about 7. It ended up being super high - 14. So, luckily I'm able to give him medicine to decrease his thyroid activity (methimazole 5mg twice daily).

I was really dreading giving this cat a pill twice a day. Not because I didn't want to do it, because I thought it would be just torturous for him to try and jamb a tablet down the cat's throat. I figured he would want no part of taking a pill. But, the vet told me to use Pill Pockets - they are treat with a hole for a pill in the center. They are a God-send, Chester goobles the pill right up in the Pill Pocket.

Chester is saying he wanted you to use a catnip smelling cleaner, LOL!

Hi, thank you for update.

I have one cat that is ~same age of yours, and same 'issue' as well. I'm absolutely having her (it) thyroid tested, I'm pretty sure your words will improve an animal's life across the america.

Kind Regards.

 

[swanicyouth]

The vet knew right away. All he had to do was feel the thyroid gland on his neck. He felt nodules. I had another cat years ago die of cancer - so I was very concerned. That cat was loosing weight as well, but not eating or acting normally. But, the thing is, I've learned if anything different starts going on with your pet you need to take them to the vet ASAP. I was quite relieved to find out it was something treatable.

I have a few questions:

1. Did you have to clay and use a ferrous fighting spray?
2. Did you need to correct any imperfections? Such as urine, drool, stool etching?...scratches from said cat's nails?
3. What LSP did you use?

Thanks and Merry Christmas
