I feel really bad when that happens. My little Sophie is so trusting, she loves pats and she leans into them for all it’s worth when she get a pat. And the poor little thing gets rewarded with a zap! She’s not the only one. I was patting the other cat and as my hand moved down her back, I could hear the crackle and feel her skin twitch under my hand.

This cold winter has been so dry that static has plagued my life lately. It seems that everything I touch is likely to either zap me or get zapped. I’m up to the point where I’m too scared  to touch metal door handles and the car. These two seem to be the worst.

I’ve sprayed the carpet and my clothing with anti-static spray but it doesn’t seem to help any. I try to keep my hands moist with hand cream hoping that it will help with the static. The cold dry weather is also affecting my skin, the hand cream is soaking in but getting dry again soon after. I’m getting tired of this winter.
