Well, I probably shouldn't be commenting since we have two relatively

new kittens (they are 6 months old - two brothers - named Oreo and

Smudge). Of course they'd love nothing more than to bat our boys'

hearing aids around.

Our audi actually warned us about having cats as pets, not dogs. They like

to chew on Q-tips because of the ear wax (ICK!!!) so the ear molds have a

similar flavor. Apparently ours have always pulled Q-tips out of the bathroom

garbage -- I just thought my kids had bad aim at the garbage can. My husband

thought that was really funny since he's seen the cats do this, but I never

have. Ah well.

Anyway, the audi said that if Ian's aids were to left lying around, the cats

might chew the molds. He's had several clients needing new molds asap

because of kitty chomping. And once the aid itself got seriously chomped by a

cat.

But he had no specific doggy advice. Since we have not dogs, I never pursued

that with anyone else.

That's very interesting - we're always careful about putting the boys'

aids and implant processor in the Dry n' Store. Ear wax - eeeeewwwww!

I knew our kittens were weird! Although they don't seem to (as yet) go

after q-tips in the garbage.
