nk.net... Attaway Elaine; way to help your kitten. Sounds to me like he's lucky to have you as a (grand?)parent. Elle, I know you want to be nice - especially if you think by being nice could help a cat. And I know you have reason to distrust *A* vet. But a couple of points... first, you are being an enabler to Elaine. You are giving her validation that what she is doing is right when it's *NOT*. Everyone else here is telling her differently, but since it's what she wants to hear, she is listening to you and ignoring good (though, to her ears, harsh) advice. Second, you are not helping her cat by enabling her. If the cut on the kitten's tail gets infected it could get serious. If the tail *is* broken the kitten is probably in a lot of pain. Third, you dealt with a *very* incompetent vet and I'm sorry you lost a dear one because of it. But you are wrongly generalizing from that experience to come to the conclusion that all vets are incompetent. There are bozos in every profession and we have to watch out for those, but to tell people that vets are bad and you shouldn't take you cat to a vet is unconscionable! |

... I just get ****ed off at people like the OP who won't pay a few bucks to take care of a pet, but will go out next week and drop $100 'cause she's just GOT TO have a new pair of "**** Me" shoes. AMEN! But to clarify, it's not just trailer trash who do this. I live in a fairly upscale neighborhood and I can't tell you how many scarred, sick, unneutered cats I feed twice a day - and most of them are "owned" by neighbors who drive around in gas-guzzling SUVs and wear Versachi (sp? I've never paid a single penny more for an article of clothing just for the privilege of wearing somebody else's name on my ass!) Hugs, CatNipped |

So Mary stfu and mind your own business if I wanted your opinion after your first post then b.tch I would have asked for it and I didnt ask now leave me alone ya freak! And Mary if I were cheap I wouldnt have to go to the library well for your info I dont need to go to the library as I just asked my fiancee to use his computer today when he came to see me and he said yes and guess what he told me to tell you to back off b.tch! Your fiance won't give you the money for a vet? Does he care so little for the kitten also? [Mary, look out, her *fiance* to you to "back off bitch"!

She had to put out for her "fiancee" to get computer access. |

"Nomen Nescio" ] wrote in message ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Elle" The only trash in this thread is the idiot who posted the above. Well, unlike the OP, I can write a sentence. Over 40 million Americans are without health insurance now. The reason is that the insured well-to-do have pushed up health insurance prices ridiculously high by accepting every procedure their doctor prescribes, regardless of proven efficacy (because, ya know, 'more is always better'--not), and completely ignorant that the insurance-medical profession is a monopoly whose principal interest is lining their own wallets for as long as ignorant middle and upper class folks buy into the Ponzi/pyramid scheme the insurance-medical profession promotes. All to the greater detriment of the poor. Damn, is that what the voices in your head are telling you? "Monopoly"??? Check a dictionary! "ignorant middle and upper class folks"? As opposed to the poor who all have a Masters degree and a 180 IQ? "Ponzi/pyramid scheme"? Do you even know what that is? "All to the greater detriment of the poor." Ever heard of Charles Darwin? This has similarly translated to a sick mindset with regard to one's cat's or dog's health. Sure! That "sick mindset" that says people should be willing to pay a few bucks to take care of their pets. Those *******s!!! The vet does not know all, or if s/he does, s/he won't necessarily tell you, because it may hurt his/her profits. You know, there are some good medications for the treatment of paranoia. Oops. I'll bet the drug companies are in on the scam, too. And here's a newsflash for you. Walmart makes a profit, also. I just get ****ed off at people like the OP who won't pay a few bucks to take care of a pet, but will go out next week and drop $100 'cause she's just GOT TO have a new pair of "**** Me" shoes. It really is that simple. |

"Catnipped" wrote in message ... "Elaine Lilly via CatKB.com" wrote in message ... I will be getting him nutered but...he is full breed persain a blue one that is and I have had others that want me to use him to breed with their cats when he gets older but I am not sure thats what I want to do at this time so I am thinking hard and long about breeding him out and stuff and his litter mate I am doing the same hard and long thinking and Elle I want to thank you for your help and not b.tching me out like Mary and I have done what you told me about the cleaning and all and it looks a lil better All right, I was determined to stay out of this, but I just have to ask... you could afford to buy a full breed persian, a blue one, but you can't afford to take him to the vet? Let me guess, someone gave him to you, right? Well could the person who could afford hundreds of dollars on a cat to give you and was generous enough to do so possibly give you the money to take him to a vet??????? Breeding? Does he have papers going back 3 generations? Did you know that only "backyard breeders" breed without papers and just try to get what they can? Have you read any of the horror stories here or in other cat groups about backyard breeder??? -- She doesn't care. It's "oo, kewl, a fluffy little thing and it will make me money all I have to do is feed it, and the "fiancee" (more likely the ****-of-the-month judging from her email address) will think I am sweet and love cute little fuzzy things instead of a coarse ignorant slut." I wish someone could get this cat away from her. |

Second, you are not helping her cat by enabling her. If the cut on the kitten's tail gets infected it could get serious. Did you not read her posts? She's in touch with a vet and they are monitoring the wound. If the tail *is* broken the kitten is probably in a lot of pain. Read her posts. Then read the links I posted on the subject. It is unlikely the kitten is in pain. Third, you dealt with a *very* incompetent vet and I'm sorry you lost a dear one because of it. But you are wrongly generalizing from that experience to come to the conclusion that all vets are incompetent. Not all vets are incompetent. However, I have made very clear that one should not blindly trust a vet or any health professional. One is one's best advocate, for reasons Candace, Phil, and I have given, and with which Mary at least partly concurred. There are bozos in every profession and we have to watch out for those, but to tell people that vets are bad and you shouldn't take you cat to a vet is unconscionable! I never said this. Your failure to read my posts and attempt to slander me is unconscionable. |
