Hee hee....while stumbling around at night in relative's house in Denver
visits, suffering shocks from metal light fixtures and doorknobs (I soon
learned how to walk like a high-stepping drum major and not shuffle my feet
on the carpet) I often wondered what would happen if they were not allergic
to pets and had some running inside in winter. Thanks for letting me know.
Couldn't find out from visiting their friends with pets, as none have
carpets and wood floors don't seem to pack the same electric punch for
shocking you. We do not experience any of this in high-humidity south FL,
even in winter. Poor pets.

Oh, isn't that frustrating? When I lived in a part of the country where
there were very cold and dry winters, I'd get a lot of static electricity,
and it seemed that every time my cat came over to me, I'd touch her and
give her a shock. Eventually she started flinching when I went to touch
her. It was kind of sad. I wanted to be able to explain to her that it
was an accident, and I didn't like it any more than she did!

pet him we both get shocked, but he keeps coming back for more!!
