The life of a working mom.lol! But the question got me thinkingWhat do you think? Or know? Would sunscreen on silver prevent tarnish? And no, he does not have permission to test the theory on my silverware.
fake bananas and crinkle balls Smart Cat Peek A Prize Cat Toy Box or a ping pong ball
I have a former stray cat at home and we cant let her out because we live just by a heavily traffickedd road, she did get a bit depressed for the first months, but is alright now and loves to play with almost everything, especially toilet paperTry to lay the feather on the plastic stick on the floor andslowlyy pull it away from its sight a few times - does work on all cats ive tried it withYou could also try to leave a few small balls on the floor for it to play with, and buy some proper catnip to rub its toys with.
Well My Cat Was A stray Before I Found Him And He Doesnt Like Toys So Much But He Plays With Strings And He Likes To Play With Shoes And PlantsMy Cat Likes Cups Too! Also He Loves To Attack My Dog(My Cat Always Wins) So Any Of That Stuff Might Help.Some Of The Best Toys Arnt Actualty Cat Toys Just Stuff Around The House!
SureLet him try itThat's what science is all aboutBut consider the attention span of a 9-year-oldThis will be a long-term experimentIt takes a while for silver to tarnishYou will need a control, a piece of silverware that is uncoatedAlso be aware that sunlight has little (if anything) to do with silver tarnishing since it is usually away from the sun and UV sources Silver tarnish is silver sulfide, Ag2SThe silver (Ag) combines with sulfur from the air or from the hands of the usersOf course, you wouldn't want to use a sunscreen that contains sulfur, if one should existSomething that has much more immediate results is the removal of silver tarnish using aluminum foilDissolve some table salt in a plastic tub of hot waterCut some aluminum foil so that it will cover the silverware and place it in the tubPlace the silverware on top of the aluminum foil and wrap the aluminum foil around it while in the tub of hot waterWait a whileWhen you unwrap the silverware the aluminum foil will be black and the silverware will be tarnish freeDry and polish the silverwareThe sulfur was transferred from the silver to the aluminum This reaction won't happen if the salt is absentDon't use baking sodaThat won't helpThe reason is that aluminum forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide on the surface (Al2O3)The presence of chloride ion from the salt breaks down the oxide coating producing the complex ion [AlCl4]^- and allows the underlying aluminum metal to react with the silver tarnish2Al(s) + 3Ag2S(s) - Al2S3(s) + 6Ag(s) Just some Saturday afternoon fun with chemistry.
