Today I have by accident thrown a AAA battery into a bucket of water. I fished it out of the water immediately (within 20 seconds or so) and nothing notable had happened and the battery is still full according to a battery test device.
Cats Scratching Ears with Parasites. If this is not the issue, then it may be related to parasites alone. Check your cat's ears for signs of ticks, fleas, and mites. These parasites can cause obsessive scratching, as the cat makes a desperate effort to relieve pain and discomfort. If your cat is not allergic, try using natural tick or flea repellents (or mite repellent) if that seems to be the issue.
A cat doesn't scratch to give you grief. A cat scratches because it's a form of exercise for the cat's muscles from the claws right through to the legs, shoulders, and down the back. In addition, scratching also sharpens cats' claws and cleans the exterior sheath.se water to stop your cat's bad behavior. If you have a spray bottle of water, you could try squirting your cat whenever he goes near the furniture and starts scratching it. Aim to do this before he starts scratching but if not, squirt mid-scratch.
