And what happens to earthworms when the rain-saturated soil dries out?
If your cat has suddenly decided that formerly delightful water bowl won’t do, there may be a reason. I love your weekly pet column and think other readers might have this problem. Our precious cat, Pumpkin, is almost 19 years old. She was a rescue kitty, so we don’t know exact age.
My husband is averse to putting her down but something has to happen regarding health conditions in our home of 35 years. It sometimes smells, but he loves little Pumpkin. In either case, there are treatments and changes to the cat’s diet that could help, but there is no definitive cure or medicine for the conditions. If Pumpkin has lesions, those can be surgically removed, and her incontinence might improve, but you won’t know until she sees a vet and gets a proper diagnosis.
This raises a question for me that I have had before: What happens to these worms once the soils become dry and hard?When the rains stop and the soil dries out, some earthworms will die, but most survive by advancing deeper into the soil to find the moisture they need. They also have the ability to go into diapause, a temporary state of dormancy, reviving when the soil is moist again.
