I'd guess you're in the .0001% of pet-owners that are *never* annoyed by
your pets.


Isn't life far too short to spend even a tiny portion of it annoyed?

I think so.

OK, I want lessons from you on how to spend my entire life never getting
annoyed by anything, 'cos you must be a Zen master of the highest order,
Buddha, on some *amazing* drugs, or something else because life just
ain't
like that for about 99.9999% of the population.

Our cats annoy us on an almost daily basis, and I'd venture to say that
nobody else that reads this newsgroup has *never* been annoyed by their
pets.



I'm sorry if this offends touchy people, but I have to agree. Jasmine is
*annoying* me right now. Cats do it deliberately, in order to get what
they
want. So do children. She's annoying me because she's pregnant, I've
changed
her food, bought the wrong flavour too, and I won't let her outside to
kill
the birds (she's an ex-stray and still not reconciled to inside life). I
know she was doing it on purpose because when I didn't give in to her,
she's
gone off to have a nap...but cats practise being annoying...and aloof
and
scary and cute and lovable. That's why we love them!! We don't not love
them
if they annoy us by jumping on us at 3am, claws out. We still love them,
that's why we roll over, get out of bed and feed them. Lighten up, this
is
just a newsgroup.

I don't think cats practise being annoying, they just exist and go about
their kitty business.

Our emotions are choices. No one forces an emotion on anyone else. One
makes a choice to be in a certain mood.


The only person I see having a conniption fit here is yourself. I believe
you are engaging in what is known as projection.

For tips n' tricks regarding CRF you'd be far better to rely on Phil in
this newsgroup.

I did, very heavily, and Phil was a great source of help on choosing
foods, and other aspects of CRF. I was just starting to really delve
into the education.

But Brandy and Kami are going through CRF right now, and I know she's
dealing with sub-q and other CRF issues *right now*. I thought we'd be
dealing with very similar issues, kind of traveling the same road, same
time.

But before Dmitri's CRF (very early stage, had just been diagnosed and
his numbers were fairly low) progressed to the stage of needing sub-q
or anything but a diet change, he passed away in his sleep.

I suspect you already know how highly I regard Phil's advice and info,
but were just looking for something to snipe at Brandy with. I guess I
missed it in other threads, but this thread it's obvious: you don't
like Brandy (or else you do, big time, and this is your mating call).



...notwithstanding previous comments, I say this without bias.

Uh huh.

Your perceptions be wrong.

Do elaborate, Doctor.

What I like is how Brandy summoned all her nerve and declared that
she does not agree that cats who are declawed should be allowed
to roam outside.

The "old boy" comment really bites. I just celebrated 50.

Thanks, Juls, but it's fruitless. I also starting finding some use in
Phil's information until I found out, by his refusing to answer
questions, that he had no education in veterinary science. Plus,
seeing the way he treats be, and the vile language and innuendo he
uses, I find it hard to put any faith in him at all. Even if I had
only been an observer of the coarse and vulgar attacks, I wouldn't how
right or wrong he was, I just wouldn't take him seriously as he is
obviously disturbed in some way.

LOL! on the "mating call." I've experienced worse but non so
amusing. Just after I posted to you about her doing fine, she had
another brief asthma episode. I started thinking about what Phil had
to say, but discounted it as a ranting. He rantes at me for attention,
his "information" can be just as faulty as just another rant for
attention.

Dudley annoys me all the time and anyone who has been reading about him
over the past year knows how much I adore him.


I think the annoyance makes me love him more.

I don't really agree with that. Sure, no one forces an emotion on anyone
else. But by the same token, we can NOT always help how we feel. For
example, it was REALLY hard for me to NOT feel scared, sad, angry,
annoyed and depressed when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age
32. Fortunately for me, it is curable, but do you see my point?
