Comments on: Ask The Pool Guy https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/05/04/ask-the-pool-guy/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 04 May 2007 22:42:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/05/04/ask-the-pool-guy/comment-page-1/#comment-26021 Fri, 04 May 2007 22:42:48 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/05/04/ask-the-pool-guy/#comment-26021 The problem is that neither is the problem, it takes both, and both are in the environment. Who knows what they use to condition water in China, if anything. This may not be a problem for them.

This would explain why CYA isn’t in all of the samples, some factories may not use it in their water supply. The ferals drink either rain water, water from the air conditioner [I have a pan to collect it for them], or irrigation water. It’s the indoor cats that drink treated water.

And I’m afraid that the concentration of the other kind of CYA is liable to be pretty high in the industries and bureaucracies dealing with this.

As you know, particularly at the moment, a) cats’ reproductive “strategy” is having large numbers of offspring, not all of whom survive, and b) cats will drink from just about anything; they’re just not all that picky.

This doesn’t threaten the whole species at all, but if a human has individual cats s/he cares a great deal for, s/he has to watch where they drink. Stella closes toilet lids at her place, and I rinse the bathroom sink thoroughly after using that awful chemical my dentist makes me use on my teeth. Harmful to cats? I don’t know, and I don’t intend to find out the hard way.

God, I hope they nail this problem down soon.
