I made a single post, milder than many.
You've made a half-dozen, merrily flaming
anyone you please, repeatedly in some cases.
Why? Because they don't say exactly what you
want them to say, while their are no restrictions
on what you say, or what language you use.
Rather than take responsibility for your pointless
flaming post, you impotently try to attack yet again.
You should have tired of that game long ago.
You've made it clear you aren't worthwhile. Just
immature and foolish. Go ahead, flex your fingers yet
again, so predictable "Sherry".

No I didn't miss it.

You took a sentence out of context.

The cat didn't die due to the extreme medical
condition he mentioned. Its death was as a result
of drowning.

I asked about what the vet said and did about
the condition the cat had before it died.

And for what purpose do you need this information? To flame the poster some
more? Sheesh.

Someone asked if the cat could jump. Yes, but not well. Enough to jump onto a
chair or something but thats all. Sometimes it would take 2 tries. Her hind
legs were getting weak and sometimes going down stairs she would tumble all the
way down.

Then what did the vet say?
That is not at all normal for a cat of that age.


Most of the suggestions for objects in the pool won't work.
A cat is in a panic under those circumstances. It would have
to be a very large, stable, object, which you are unlikely
to provide, as you referred to some suggestion as "not too much
trouble, not in the way too much". When/if it happened, the
cat would have to "happen" onto the object.

The pool should be fenced. For animals, for children.
People who don't do so find themselves buried in lawsuits
when the unimagined happens -- a drown kid. A fenced yard
can definitely be deemed insufficient.


Cats aren't known for their aquatic abilities.
More likely to drown, than "swim". That's pretty basic.
If I had a cat, and a pool, and saw it drinking from the pool,
I would immediately worry about what would happen should the
cat fall in.


When you say things like "that's too much trouble" and
"oh, well, the other cat will just have to take its chances"
you shouldn't be so surprised when people lean on you a bit.
They can easily picture the panic that cat felt in the situation
that led to it's death.

Then there's the calling people "morons", as well as the other
pointless 4 letter words. Doesn't matter what the situation is, a
normal well-balanced adult doesn't do that. You didn't use
reasonable sense in advance of the incident, and you aren't willing
to do anything about the situation, preferring to just let another
animal drown if it happens. Rather than take responsibility you've
gone out on a very juvenile limb trying to justify your position,
and childishly struck out at others.


So, what did the vet say about her condition, what tests did he run,
what medication was prescribed?
