[net.pets] Chemicals and Your Cat

scott@hou2g.UUCP (Racer X) (09/20/85)

I have a question for all you cat/house owner combinations
out there.

I recently purchased my first house, and the time has come
to perform "maintenance" on my lawn.  This will include
liming, fertilizer, and, in the spring, weed killer.

My two cats (indoor/outdoor; sounds like carpet! :-))
will occasionally munch on grass outside.  Naturally,
with all those chemicals on the lawn I'm concerned.  How
long should I wait after application of each of the above
before the grass is "safe"?  Will a good, solid rainfall do it?

Please mail responses, and if requested, I'll be glad to 
post a summary to the net.
