*** Quoting Danny Ceppa from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

 CS> Charlotte grabbed one of the cats chew toys (a very sturdy one) and
 CS> slept through the night that way once.  Next night, it wasnt there but
 CS> later I distinctly saw a cat drop something in and she got quiet.  I
 CS> checked.  Same chew toy.  Guess she was keeping the cats up . 

DC> Now that is funny!   

We thought so!

 CS> worked. 

DC> One problem with that is getting your finger out before it's used as 
DC> a chew toy.  

That too 

 CS> A friend used a baby bottle filled with crushed ice and said it worked
 CS> for her little ones to help out.

DC> There are teething rings that can be iced down.  You just need to be 
DC> careful and select a reputable brand.  

I remember seeing those but they scared me a little.  I wasnt sure what the
¨stuff inside was and if she had managed to make a pinhole, that could be
bad ¨news.

Oh, I do remember freezing her 'baba' (those little sucking things that
kids ¨use and are better as they give them up naturally much earlier than a
thumb and ¨dentists recommend them or at least, used to).  Doesnt last long
that way as a ¨cooler, but we had tons of them ad Charlotte obviously
enjoyed it.
