#Bonus points if you add Angie to the mix

[plaindangan]

Who from the V3 class has the best twerking skills? Perhaps we should have the resident detective ‘investigate’?

Disclaimer: Below is content that's more on the racy side! If not for you, you probably shouldn't read!

When Shuichi was asked to judge a competition for the girls, he expected something typical like baking or singing or just anywhere near the realms of your average test of skill between friends...

Still, Shuichi couldn't back down at this point. So he plopped his own fat booty at the chair to get the show on the road!~ So what were the results of this?

Well, the eight didn't make things easy. Himiko (in a red leotard and fishnets that exposed 3/4 of her own bottom) was a strong starter. Tired as she was, she tried incorporating her new 'spell' into the mix - mainly giving a slow, yet rhythmic shake that Shuichi could swore was putting him in a trance. So much so that, by the time Himiko was done, it took Shuichi a moment or two to come back to his senses.

For Tsumugi, she was nervous about this from beginning to end. Yet, even she had a nice trick up her sleeve to give her some appeal. Dressed as some blue-haired detective a certain JRPG, the blue pants that she wore absolutely hugged her jiggling rear and helped make it stick out in the sea of booty....okay. Well, that, and the fact it sort of ripped halfway through. Exposing the fact that not only was it made in a bit of a rush, Tsumugi apparently decided not to wear panties today!~

Concerning, Angie, who had opted to just wear her usual outfit sans the skirt and jacket, decided to incorporate a bit of her own homeland type of dance before twerking. A rather lewd one given how much it involved shaking her hips right in front of Shuichi, peeling off her own shell bra, right before delivering the main course of shaking her caramel booty!~

Maki was another one who was somewhat wary about this whole thing. But...the fact that it was Shuichi of all people doing the judging meant now was time to at least try to prove that she had just the right stuff as the other girls! In a red crop top and tight black shorts, Maki put all her aggression into clapping and shaking her fatty cheeks, even more so than what Shuichi ever would have expected.

While Tenko initially seemed to scowl and scoff at the very thought of twerking for a man...she made an exception for Shuichi. Blushing, Tenko's initially anxiousness of doing such a feat, quickly turned into excitement!~ Matching her blue sports bra was initially a pair of blue sweatpants...but as her bottom bounced with vigor, Shuichi saw how much they drooped and slipped - and he can very well see her black thong and firm cheeks underneath.

Kaede was next, the musician wearing a pink crop top and a shortened version of her usual skirt. Knowing exactly how to rile up the judge, huh?~ With each clap, with each wobble, with each jiggle, Shuichi was getting a peak of her pale bubble butt and lacy pink panties to go alongside with it. To help matter, she tended to glance at Shuichi's way with a cute wink!~ No doubt causing blood to rush both ways through Shuichi's body!~

Of course, Miu wasn't going to settle for holding herself back anymore!~ Pink pasties were the only thing covering her ample boobs, jean shorts that didn't even come close to covering most of her fat ass, and the added bonus that it didn't seem like she was wearing underwear. Truly the inventor at her sluttiest!~ She spent the entirely of her performance making lewd gestures and comments which, while normally would just get him flustered, when you add in how much she was shaking her behemoth bottoms, how much it visibly came together in an enticing mounds that had the detective, admittedly, salivating a bit.

At this point, he had a clear winner in mind...up until Kirumi took the stage. Compared to the others who were in relatively tight or revealing clothing, the maid seemed to have done the opposite in wearing a black coat and dress pants. What did she have planned?

Well, Kirumi startled most by carrying with her a large bottle of oil and slowly pouring it all over herself. From the jacket, to her hair and, yes, especially to her dress shirt that was underneath it. Removing the jacket, Shuichi felt his heart skip a beat as he saw just how much the liquid has made her shirt seeing through - showing off the woman's violet, lacy, bra.

Turning around, Kirumi began swaying her curvy hips about, her tight pants really emphasizing just how large her own rump was. It might not be the size of Miu or Kaede's, but it was still surprising to know what the maid was holding underneath that long skirt of hers. Slowly, Kirumi began stripping off her shirt, Shuichi getting a good look at her back, shiny and eye catch thanks to her oil. When she finally turned around, her hands were just underneath her sizable mounds. Because of how long she spent working with her oil, such boobs were now all glossed up and looking as desirable as before. But...this wasn't a boob shaking competition now was it.

With a seductive smile, Kirumi began slowly working down her pants, show off more and more of her head smashingly sexy thighs and royal purple panties underneath!~ Just as lacy as her bra...and just as sexy. To top it all off, she kicked off her pants, sending them hurtling right into the arms of Shuichi - who looked just as surprise from the move as did the other contestants.

Time for the main event!~ Kirumi sauntered up to Shuichi's desk, and turned around slowly once more. Bending over alluringly, she grabbed her oil bottle once more and sent more of it dripping down onto her body. Shuichi getting a closer eyeful as the liquid soaked her underwear to the bone, gave added emphasis to how appealing her curves were....and especially how the few droplets that made it past her back, now covered her bottom. As she felt the oil on its mark, Kirumi began her twerk session.

Bending over so that her ass was fully in the air, she shook her rump with surprisingly high energy that rivaled even Tenko's or Maki's. Clapping her meaty, juicy, pale cheeks, she ensured that Shuichi's world would be nothing but a blur of pleasure that he wouldn't want to take his eyes off of anytime soon!~ A performance worthy of such a dutiful comrade that the maid was!~

"....K-kirumi wins...." he called soon after the maid was done. Much to no one else's surprise, the stage filling with applause from several of the other participants who were impressed by Kirumi's work. Other sighed in disappointment but seemed to have accepted the ruling, if begrudgingly. Though the only truly grump was Miu. "F-fuckin' fat ass skank cheated...." she grumbled...but her own flushed face spoke of another story.

"Why, thank you so much, Shuichi!" Kirumi said, complete with a formal bow. Only she could pull off acting graceful while near naked. "For such a victory, how about I meet you later on at your place? I'd be happy to repeat such a performance for you. You...look as if you might need it, so to speak!~" she said, a small smile appearing on her face.

Hiding the strain in his pants quickly, the shy detective gave a nod of agreement. Yeah, that might not be such a bad idea after all!~

2020 ALL-INCLUSIVE GUIDE: how to manage airbnb remotely during coronavirus pandemic and thrive

This is the perfect time to streamline your process and how to manage airbnb remotely during coronavirus lockdowns and stay-at-home. Limit contact or going contactless is the goal. In this guide, you will learn how to setup your remote management system now so your business runs smoother and provides you with passive income and more valuable time back for you.

1. Cleaning - This is key to manage your airbnb remotely

Why and how to communicate with your cleaner and maintenance staff How to manage airbnb property remotely starts with cleaning. Your cleaning staff might be as confused as you're about this whole process. With cleaning is more than important than ever (travellers are more germaphobic than ever), you need to nail down this process, as well as provide a system/guidance for your cleaning staff. The last thing you want is your cleaner not want to show up when you've a checkout. This can cost you money and stress to find someone else to come at the very last minutes and potentially jeopardize the next reservation. If you work with a cleaning company, ask them what cleaning procedure they use. Set clear cleaning instructions that protect your staff and disinfect your place well.Ensure you've enough disinfectants, gloves and other supplies for your staff.Communicate your care and effort to protect the health of your staff.You might need to train them "virtually" on the new cleaning procedure. SEE MORE: 6 Actions to take NOW | Airbnb stimulus package The "New" cleaning protocol Airbnb has a new cleaning guideline for Covid-19, you can check out their template here. This is based on information provided from the CDC. You can download the checklist and share with your team as well as posted it in your unit so guests can see that you're taking this very seriously. Download the cleaning checklistDownload the welcome letter

Airbnb will begin requiring that rentals stay vacant for 24 hours between check out and when a new reservation begins. The new requirement is based on a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control to "address the possibility of particles that may remain airborne for a few hours." What do you feel about this? Cleaning products The CDC posted cleaning and disinfect your home guideline specifically to COVID-19 that you can add to your tool kit on how to manage airbnb remotely during coronavirus. Products to use: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2. When choosing a disinfectant, make sure to read the label that it actually kills germs and bacterias. You can also prepare a bleach solution by mixing: 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or4 teaspoons bleach per quart of waterBleach solutions will be effective for disinfection up to 24 hours Alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol may also be used.

2. Check In - (keyless, contact-less entry)

How to manage airbnb remotely? Use keyless entry to offer digital check in for your guest. The less human-to-human contact the better.

SEE MORE: Lock Setups

3. Automated airbnb check in instructions

Set up your template for all communication checkpoints and send it out manually. Or you can use an automatic messaging service like YourPorter. The whole point is to provide your guests with all the airbnb check in instructions they might need to eliminate the need of you having to go there in person. You can use the airbnb saved messages feature and save your airbnb check in instructions template there. Companies that offer automated messaging that you can set up your airbnb check in instructions: iGMSSuperhost ToolsYourPorterUplisting

4. Airbnb check out message (minimize hassle)

Use automated message to send your guest a check-out reminder. This will save your guests from any confusion of what's expected of them and a surprised cleaning bill afterward. What to include in your check-out reminder: Check-out date and timeCheckout procedure - what to do with linens, dirty dishes, etc.

Airbnb check out instructions sample

5. Remotely manage supplies for guests

Use delivery services to manage airbnb remotely Look for where you can get wholesale airbnb supplies as well as delivery convenient. Here are our favorites (membership fee applies): Use Amazon Business Prime, you will get free shipping and pricing is better on some items than regular Amazon Prime. Look for "Business price."We like Amazon Business or Amazon Prime because you can even get Amazon Key to make the whole process even more contactless.Another retailer that we use is Sam's Club. We love the Plus membership for $99/year. We get free shipping and with cash back, we got more money back than the $99 membership fee we have to pay. Alternately you get Costco, depending on which retailer services your area better. In Hawaii, we get free shipping with Sam's Club Plus but not with Costco. Welcome gift

Consider a welcome gift or a welcome basket for your guests such as 2 masks, hand sanitizer if you can still find them. If you leave out fruits, make sure to wrap them well. You want to show your guests that you care about them and their well-being. If you like to sew, you can make cloth masks for your guests. See our instructions here. Or you can purchase them. A good source we found is Etsy and Facebook Marketplace.

6. Provide local info for guests so you don't have to be there

Add to your house manual all the details that you would normally tell guests if you meet them face-to-face. Not everyone is familiar with the local services and places and know how to find the best and the right one (that's still open in your city) online. Take the guest work out of this for your guests and manage airbnb remotely. Parking informationAccess code needed for the front gate/entrance doorGuest Wifi passwordYour contact infoEmergency services contact info (maintenance, requests, whom on your team can they call if there is an issue, etc.)Instructions where things are in the houseHow to operate items such as how to turn on Cable TV (believe it or not, this is what we get the most calls about)House rulesLocal transportation information (taxi, airport shuttle services, maps of the location areas). We include coupon codes for Uber or Lyft if we have those for our guests.Other important info your guests might needDelivery service (ex: Shipt, BiteSquad, etc...): services they are familiar with and used at their home city might not be what is available in your city. Emergency info like the closest hospital, poison control number, etc.The property address - if they need it for delivery or when they call the hospital, they don't have to tumbling through the app or messages.If your city or state has a dedicated web page or app with info about Covid-19, you might want to let your guests know too.The local news or government might have a website or info about what's open and closed in your city. Tips: record a short instructional video and upload it to YouTube. You can add the link or QR code to these video in your house manual or you can message them to your guests when needed. If you're concerned about privacy, you can make these video Unlisted. This way, only the people who have the link can see it. Other people cannot search for your video on YouTube.See an example of cleaning instruction video. You don't need fancy camera, just your phone should be good.

7. Remove high maintenance amenities that guests don't need right now

Do you have amenities that guests who are in quarantine or working from home at your place won't need? Consider not providing those at this time to cut cost. Usually these are amenities or services that might require someone to be there to maintain it. We stopped offering cleaning between stay service to guests due health concern for our cleaning staff. Also think of surfaces that it harder to clean like carpet, upholstery, etc. We have clients that changed out their carpet for laminate because they needed to replace the carpet anyway and took this opportunity to replace it with a more durable surface and easier to clean like laminate. Disinfectant and bleach are very damaging to furnitures. If you have expensive furnitures or expensive items, consider putting those away. We are seeing longer stay 14+ days to a month and we see more reservations with children. Making your unit kid-friendly is a good idea. Do a walk through and see what you can do to proof your house for kids (easy to break or expensive decors should be out-of-reach for kids, etc.).

8. Add amenities or furnishing that guests might need

Recently we have experiencing longer term stays and even Chesky, Airbnb CEO, is also betting on the mid-term stay reservations going forward even post-Covid. These guests will tend to spend the most of their time in your home working or distancing themselves from others or obeying stay-at-home order. Summer is approaching, as it's getting hotter and hotter, if you don't have an AC, considering adding that. We also make sure our units have working space like a work desk and comfy chairs. Your guests will also stay at home and tend to cook at home more than the typical tourist before that just sleeps at night and goes out and about during the day exploring the city. Pay attention to what you might need in the kitchen. Amenities that accommodate longer trips: KitchenWifiWasherEssentials (toilet paper, soap, towels, bed linens, and pillows)Work space (bonus if you provide a printer)Suitable for childrenAC/heating See More: Amenities Checklist for Superhosts

9. Local vendors you can trust

We are talking about maintenance need here. You will want to have a list of local vendors (ex: plumber, electrician, handyman...) that you can call and get them to come out right away when you need them. NextDoor is a good source to find local handyman. You can also search on Yelp, Angie's list, HomeAdvisor, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or local Facebook groups. Backup cleaning servicesPlumberHandymanElectricianHVAC repair servicesLandscaping servicesPool cleaning service (if applicable)Pest control

10. Devices to help you manage airbnb remotely

Consider sensors or digital tools that can help you manage your unit remotely. We use leak sensors next to the washer and under the kitchen sink and bathroom sink to detect leak. When it detects water, it will sound a very loud alarm as well as send you a message on your phone or via email. When choosing appliances, if the owner's budget allows, we recommend smart appliances that can connect via wifi and be managed from far away. In one unit, we use LG washer that can connect to wifi and send us an alert if there is any issue or if tub clean cycle needs to be ran. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs1aNspxHIk&feature=youtu.be Smart plug - control any appliances like window AC, lights, etc.Security cameraDoorbell with cameraNoiseAware or Party Squasher will send you instant alerts if things get too rowdy. Measure noise level in your unit and alert you if the your guest is too loud (or there might be a party going on).Smart thermostat - save money by conserving energy. Also after your guests checkout, instead of worrying whether or not the AC is still running, you can check on your phone and turn it off if needed.Smart light - simulate someone being home when the unit is vacant.Flood sensor

11. Bonus Tip: Add these efforts to your marketing mix

All the things you're doing here to manage airbnb remotely are great, make sure your guests know that! Tell guests about your enhanced cleaning procedure Guests will want to know about all of the additional steps you’re taking to reduce the spread of infection. So it’s a good idea to mention your enhanced cleaning routine in your listing description. If you do, please be careful about the words you choose—while it’s okay to say that you’re taking extra care to disinfect your space due to COVID-19 base on CDC's guideline but you can’t make unsubstantiated claims, such as calling your space “COVID-free.” See More: Marketing guide to boost your listing.

Testing for optimal messaging Consumer's needs have changed during this time. Recently, for example, searches for longer stays nearby have more than doubled worldwide. And in the U.S., bookings for four to six weeks have increased 30% since last week. We've noticed that some people need a little more room, and many are searching for spaces where they can be alone or with family. Adapting your messaging to their needs and don't be afraid to test out different ideas with the goal to manage airbnb remotely.

Conclusion

It might seem like a lot of work up-front but once you set this up, it will be less management time on your part. Your airbnb business will run smoothly, your guests are happy and you can get some spare time back.

[imagine--drv3]

Can I have S/O teaching the girls how to dance? What kind of dancing would the teach them? (PS: Love you guys!)

Well…as soon as we got this the other mods screamed at me to take it, and if that doesn’t sum up my love for dance, I don’t know what does.

Maki Harukawa

You don’t know what to teach her at all.

She’s athletic, and her body is gorgeous, but you don’t know if she has the patience or willingness to listen to you instruct her how to move.

For the joke of it all, you decide to ask her to listen to you teach her flamenco, knowing that she would likely disagree .

Though, when you prompt her with the idea, she stares at you and to your utter disbelief, tells you that she is willing to do so .

You flush at the idea of her moving in such a hip, fluid way and agree, setting up a time to meet with her.

She picks up the arm and wrist movements quickly, and doesn’t seem to put much effort into it at first.

Once you get to the hip movements, she blushes and immediately excuses herself for a moment.

She eventually gets the hang of it, though she doesn’t seem that into it from what you’ve seen.

But when you turn your back on her, and discreetly watch her, you see that she’ll perform it full out, getting extremely into the movements when you are not watching.

You feel yourself heat up at this, and laugh before turning around, getting a kick out of her shocked expression and her denial that she was not just dancing.

You spend the rest of the day catching her in these little moments, before her finally opening up and doing the routine to the best of her ability.

Kirumi Toujou

Surely you would believe that such an elegant and mature woman would be suited with a style that would fit those tastes.

So, you decide on ballet as a good way to start, envisioning how beautiful she would be dancing in such a timeless, elevated form of movement.

Besides, you can just imagine those long legs extending into a développé and you guiding her foot into a dégagé.

Alright, so maybe you are just a tad bit envious of her figure, and just a little attracted to the beauty she possesses.

And so, you invite her to a studio, and set her up with a gloved hand resting daintily against the barre.

You go off in a small rant about the art, in which she listens to politely with a couple nods of her head, and a smile.

Though on the inside, she is likely freaking out, if only a tad.

Frappé, fouetté, coupé, cambré, cabriole, battement, adagio, assemblé, attitude?? Pas de chat?? Passé? Penché? What does all this terminology you’re saying mean?

You reassure her gently that you’ll go slow, and teach her how to do everything correctly.

Then, you need to warn her that it takes /forever/ to be able to master the /simplest/ of movements, which she assures you is alright if it makes you happy.

She flushes pink every time you have to grab her hips to center them, or run your hand along her spine to help her straighten her posture and tuck everything correctly.

She’s a smart and quick learner, and she seems to enjoy the entire experience, despite it being mostly barre and slow waltzes and such.

She asks you to teach her again sometime, which you are happy to agree to!

Angie Yonaga

You have a bit of difficulty deciding on what to teach her.

She could never stay still enough for tap or ballet with her boundless energy and happy, overbearing attitude.

It takes you a bit, but you decide that such a creative soul needs a canvas that can be twisted into any style she pleases, so you decide on a contemporary/modern mix.

Until it hits you

Contact improv

She’s fascinated by humanity has been gifted with such a fine body that can be used as a vessel for blessing and pure hope.

So why not let her appreciate it through movement with another person, and let her express God’s love and emotions with another person?

Plus, it’s an opportunity for you to directly dance with your cute girlfriend

You ask her to come dance with you and she is simply overjoyed, and won’t leave your side until you’ve gone outside to move in the warm, bright sun.

You warm her up, helping her stretch her limbs to the sky, before taking her hands in yours, beginning to explain exactly what you brought her out here for.

Her expression only lights up in delight before she wraps you in a bear hug, asking if that it sufficient enough for contact improv.

You chuckle and say yes as you pat her head, before swooping the lighter girl into a bridal carry and placing her softly on the ground.

The two of you continue to interact with one another and simply just dance with the other, using the other’s limbs to inspire movement in your own.

She has a fantastic time, and tells you that you should help her express her God’s will through pure, blissful movement again sometime.

Kaede Akamatsu

You decide that ballroom would be the best for her

As a bonus, you could try to teach a routine that goes along to one of her own songs!

When you tell her this, she blushes, and asks if she has to dress up in fancy garb, in which you laugh and insist that she doesn’t.

You ask her to meet up with you one evening, and takes her hands, beginning to walk her through the steps.

You think she has the basics of it, yet you find it amusing as her blush deepens whenever you take her by the waist.

When you turn on her music and start choreographing to it, her face is an unexplainable mixture of shock, excitement and joy, and she seems to have newfound energy in her movements.

You switch roles occasionally, and at one point, she tries to lead you in the waltz.

Her movements are clumsy, and when she dips you, she drops you on the floor.

She apologizes endlessly after that, nearly crying, and you laugh and constantly tell her that it’s alright.

You two have a good time, and the evening ends with her kissing you and giving you a crushing hug.

Miu Iruma

When you propose the idea, she snorts, saying that she could build a machine to teach herself choreography.

But as soon as she sees the look on your face after that, she begins to yet up and apologizes, and agrees to letting you teach her whatever you want

You begin to walk her through a warm-up, deciding to go through with some classic jazz, before she stops with with a delighted look on her face.

She asks you to teach her how to pole dance.

You’re caught off guard by her request, a blush already covering your face at the mere thought of it.

But she seems too happy, and she already promises that she has something set up for it.

You reluctantly agree, and she meets up with you, pole in place, and urges you to begin.

You walk her through a few legitimate movements, mustering enough abdominal strength to show her one flashy move.

She copies them, which makes you melt in a puddle of embarrassment, before she cracks you a cheeky grin and begins to take over herself.

She cackles as she places a hand on the pole and spins around, taking amusement in your embarrassment.

It is an eventful night, to say the least.

Himiko Yumeno

You find that tap dance may fit someone like her, for it can be quite extravagant, yet simple, at the same time.

You dig out an old, smaller pair of tap shoes and dust them off before inviting her to come with you.

You help her tie them before walking her through a couple steps, taking the basic, slow approach.

Brush steps, shuffles, buffalos, paradiddle.

They may sound simple, but she’s quite proud of herself for being able to catch on, even if her movements lack a bit of energy.

She likes making noise, and begins to wear the tap shoes you gifted her around the house.

She also tells you that she’s happy that you taught her, and that she’ll have to try these techniques in her next show

Tsumugi Shirogane

She’s super willing to do whatever you teach her!

She does have a request though.

She consults you with a tablet and shows you a bunch of videos of anime characters dancing, and completely begs you to teach her the movements that her idols perform.

You’re not sure on how to exactly do so, but who can say no to those puppy dog eyes?

You ask her to consult you later, and you try your best to learn the movements for her.

You meet up after a little while and she seems super stoked! You’re going to help her become like her idols!

She’s quite energetic, for she’s dedicated to learning, and surprisingly picks it up rather quickly.

She seems extremely happy when moving and dancing, and is always ready to show you that she can do it by herself with pride in her voice.

She also tries dancing with cosplay! It’s quite cute.

Just like the animes

Tenko Chabashira

She’s active, lively, and a good learner. The perfect candidate for teaching!

When you propose the idea of teaching her something, she flushes red, and bows to you, saying that she is honored that you would trust her with your teachings.

She grew up learning defensive movement from a master, and has shaped her whole entire life around being taught by those she held in high lights.

So the fact that you want to teach her something you love inspires joy in her, and excites her greatly.

You decide that capoeira would be right for her, for she would be familiar with some of the movements all ready.

After all, it is a mix between dance, martial arts and acrobatics, and is lively and fun!

Besides, she already has the strength required for it!

She invites you to her dojo, for it is safer, and waits, practically trembling with excitement.

You show her the first few steps of the routine, which she copies near-effortlessly, her mind already trained to picking up and repeating movement

You teach her a few movements, in which she takes in and adds little things to make them their own, and’ll proudly show you them each time you pause, eager for your approval.

The night ends with her thanking you endlessly for sharing something you love with her!

The ABC’s of CBD For Cats

The post The ABC’s of CBD For Cats by Elizabeth Anderson Lopez appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it, but all of these articles were assigned, contracted and paid for, so they aren't considered public domain. However, we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article, then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com.

Not every human medical treatment is also used for cats, of course, but cannabidiol, aka CBD, happens to be one at the forefront for both people and pets. That’s because we share something in common. “Cats, like all animals — including humans and excluding insects — have an endocannabinoid system that regulates the neurological, physiological and immunological systems of the body, including the central nervous system,” says Jodi Ziskin, director of communications with Treatibles in Petaluma, California.

“When there is a deficiency of cannabinoid production in the body, the addition of phytocannabinoids — cannabinoids from plants — can help the endocannabinoid system regulate calm, balance and ease.”

While CBD products have only trace amounts of THC (the component of marijuana that causes a “high”), there are state and federal regulations that restrict the wording manufacturers can use to tout the benefits of CBD. Generally speaking, many manufacturers report that cat owners have said CBD has helped with the following feline conditions: inflammation, pain, chronic anxiety, discomfort, mobility issues, digestive tract upset, loss of appetite and seizures.

Then there’s also the use for specific circumstances to help kitty cope. “Cats are far more creatures of habit than their canine counterparts, and even the slightest change in routine, diet, environment or schedule can cause anxious or fearful actions, aggressive behavior, or even improper elimination,” says Paul DiBrito, president of Paw CBD in Charlotte, North Carolina. “In fact, litter box issues and marking behavior are among the main reasons cats are surrendered to shelters each year.”

Chelsea Gennings, vice president of business development and special projects of Pet Releaf, in Littleton, Colorado, offers: “CBD is extremely helpful in helping situational anxiety, which cats often experience during travel or when there are a lot of people in the house, because of its soothing and calming properties.”

Paul adds: “Any product that can contribute to a daily wellness regimen would be a welcome option for cat owners looking to help their feline friends. CBD is a great natural option for supporting balance and maintaining overall health and wellness.”

How to give it

When it comes to using CBD on your cat, there are different form factors. “The most common application methods for cats are typically oils or tinctures, topicals, sprays and capsules,” explains Grace Kaucic, digital marketing specialist at Bluebird Botanicals in Louisville, Colorado. “Oils and tinctures are typically lumped into the same category but have slight differences. Oils are, as you might guess, an oil-based solution, while tinctures are typically an alcohol-based solution.

Topicals include creams, salves and balms that are applied directly to the skin. Sprays are another common method. They typically involve an alcohol-based solution that you can spray onto your cat’s fur. Finally, soft gels contain an oil solution contained in a gelatin capsule.”

Paul says that CBD oils or tinctures are given under the tongue, allowing CBD to release throughout the body. He adds this specific tip: “Make sure the product you choose has a plastic dropper and not glass. Sharp teeth and glass droppers are an accident waiting to happen!”

Jodi points out, “When applied directly into the mouth, the oil is absorbed both via the mucosal membranes under the tongue and through the digestive process. Benefits are often experienced more rapidly, sometimes in as soon as five minutes. That’s not to say it is more effective, just that the results can be experienced sooner.”

And there may be other issues. “You can place the tincture right in your kitty’s mouth,” says Angie Krause, DVM, with Boulder Holistic Vet in Boulder, Colorado. “This provides for the best absorption but is the least desirable for most cats.”

Food for thought

Jodi further explains the differences when adding CBD oil to your cat’s food, which is also a popular delivery method. “When placed on or mixed into food, the CBD oil is digested along with the food,” she says. “That slows down the absorption but not the benefits. It may take 20 minutes or more for the kitty to begin experiencing desired results.” She adds a food tip for extra finicky felines — mix the CBD with a strong-tasting liquid such as the water from a can of tuna or plain yogurt.

If you decide to add CBD to your cat’s food, there are still options to consider — dry or wet? “If the oil has a distinct smell or flavor that would cause food aversion, it would not be recommended to add it to the food,” says Judy Morgan DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT, of Naturally Healthy Pets, based in Woodstown, New Jersey. “Cats have a good sense of smell and can get very picky and back off their food easily if they smell anything they aren’t pleased with. I feel it is much easier to mix into canned or other wet food than dry food.”

Grace concurs: “Wet food is typically more pungent and flavorful and can easily disguise the taste and smell. Plus, many wet foods are oily, which allows the CBD oil to mix in easily.”

Go with the method you think will be most appealing to your cat because ultimately, consumption is linked to proper doses. “It is more about your pet eating all the pieces that are covered,” says Jon Neveloff, partner with King Kanine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “If cats don’t finish the food then you will not know how much of the oils they received.“

As a bonus, the option that’s best for your cat is also best for your wallet — CBD oil that’s consumed is CBD oil not being wasted.

Going topical

While many manufacturers recommend giving CBD orally, topical application is an option, as well. In fact, King Kanine is one of the manufacturers that makes both. “Our line of topicals are specifically made for the paws and skin issues,” Jon says. “Our CBD-infused King Kalm Soothe Spray was formulated to help pets with dermal abrasions, hot spots and dry, cracked skin.”

Grace echos the precise placement provided by skin application. “Topicals can allow you to deliver CBD to specific target areas of your cat’s body, while ingestible CBD is a good option for those looking to promote overall wellness for your cat.” Keep in mind that if you go the topical route, your cat may have other ideas. “For cats, most topical exposures quickly become oral exposures due to grooming behavior,” says Tina Wismer, DVM, MS, DABVT, DABT, medical director of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in New York City.

Because of that “dual use,” another consideration is ingredients. “It’s important to make sure any topical balm or salve used on cats is approved and safe, as they often contain essential oils and other ingredients that could be harmful for cats,” cautions Heidi Hill, Holistic Hound founder and trained homeopath based in Berkeley, California.

However, you can use the real estate mantra to deter oral consumption of a topical treatment with — yep — location, location, location.

“Generally, the inside of the ear tip is a great spot for rapid absorption that is harder to clean immediately for the cat,” Dr. Morgan says.

“If you want to put a topical CBD product somewhere they can’t lick, try right at the base of their head or on their chest closer to the chin,” Grace suggests.

And if you really need to deter licking, there’s always the “shame” option. “CBD lotions are typical for addressing skin conditions, so cats will often have to wear a cone to restrict their licking,” Chelsea says.

Whether you opt for oral or topical administration, how much is just as important as how. Most manufacturers have suggested dosages based on weight. “We worked with an integrative veterinarian who is also an expert in cannabis, to help formulate our products,” Heidi says. “We recommend approximately 1 mg CBD per 10 pounds of body weight, given once or twice daily, depending on the condition.”

But that’s just a starting point. “You know your cat better than anyone,” Jodi says. “Start with the low dose and observe the response. If your cat’s issue doesn’t seem to be improving, double the dose the next time. Some cats only need one dose per day — some two or three.”

And don’t hesitate to ask your vet for guidance — for multiple reasons. “Like with any product, you should consult with your veterinarian to determine if CBD products are right for your pet and what the proper dosage should be,” Dr. Wismer says. “There’s a lot of information online that can be misleading, and consulting with a professional should always be your first step. That’s especially important if your pet is on other medications. Mixing medications and substances can affect animals’ livers.”

The Trick of Treats

If you want another option to topical or orally administering CBD oil, we have a treat for you and your cat – treats! Several manufacturers make this option.

“For cat’s that won’t comply with either of these options, CBD-infused chews are a good alternative,” says Dr. Krause says., citing improved palatability and compliance. She adds that treats “can be more costly per milligram of CBD and might contain other ingredients that your kitty might be sensitive to.”

Grace adds that treats can be another great way to introduce CBD to your cat. “Cats typically associate treats with fun times, so you’ll likely have the easiest time getting them to try CBD in treat form,” she says. “However, the challenges come with the other ingredients in the treats. You’ll want to make sure you research the brand and product ahead of time to ensure that your product actually contains the amount of CBD it says it does and is free from any harmful ingredients.”

According to Jodi: “One of the great benefits of offering a CBD chew is that the dose will be consistent each time. The challenge is whether the cat likes the taste and mouth feel of the chew.”

There’s a pro and a con to treats, says Dr. Wismer. “CBD in treat form can be a highly effective method if the treat is tasty and of interest to the cat. The biggest downside to anything in treat form is that they may become curious and get into the bag of treats causing an overdose of CBD, which may cause issues in your pet.”

And if you’d like a hybrid solution with treats and CBD oil you already have, there’s the DIY method. “Freeze-dried food or treats are great as they absorb the oil like a sponge,” Dr. Krause says.

Remember how you and your cat share something in common? As a reminder, while that applies to many conditions treated with CBD oil — it does not mean you can share the same CBD products. CBD products for humans can contain toxic flavorings. If you have a dog taking CBD oil, you can give that to your cat. Just maybe don’t tell your cat she’s getting the dog’s leftovers.
