You could always explain the entire story.


If you really want to know, there are probably very few people in the
world
that love cats more than my fiance. She was crying last night because
she
was worried about her cat. I told her I would post on here to see if
someone knew what may be the problem. If you people are that dumb to
think we aren't going to go for a second opinion, then I guess I thought
the intellect on this board was a little higher. The post was simply a
means to perhaps comfort her by possibly knowing what may be wrong, not
as a substitute for a second opinion.


So after all the posts, not a single thing addressed my question. Thanks
for nothin'!

One does have to wonder when their cat obviously has a medical issue why
they run first to the newsgroups for answers instead of going to the
obvious place for this... the VET.



Yeah, once again, superior intellect on your part...NOT!!

You won't get the help you want by being insulting.

You do want help don't you?

There are several knowledgable people here who can offer that, but
generally people are turned off by insulting comments.

Excuse the ****
out of me for trying to take advantage of all the resources available to
me. I'm sure whenever we find out what the cats problem is, that our cat
is not the only cat in the world that has experienced it. Consequently,
maybe if someone on this group had a cat with the same symptoms, they could
tell us what the problem was. The newsgroup post was simply to find out
what the problem was. Not a substitute for a second vet appointment.
Besides, if you looked at my original post, it was at 1AM and we weren't
going to go to the vet at 1AM.

If the animal is in serious need of medical attention then going to the
vet at 1AM is most definitely advisable.

Many clinics offer emergency after hours vet services.

Instead of knocking someone for trying to
use all available resources,

That is just it, you did NOT use all available resources.

maybe you should commend them for going above
and beyond to try to understand what the problem may be and perhaps
research that problem to find ways to prevent future occurances. A vet can
fix things, but only the owner can provide an environment that is less
likely to create future problems. So to you I say...BITE ME!

The bottom line here is that consulting a newsgroup for an obvious sick
animal is very poor substitute for going to the vet.

I noticed shortly after your post about your cat, your concern shifted
rather quickly to your garage floor with your post in alt.home.repair

Some of that cash going into fixing up your unfinished garage in that
home you just bought should be directed to the medical needs to your pet
cat. It isn't a matter of not enough cash, it is a matter of correct
allocation of the funds.

You need to work on your priorities.

Have a nice day.
