Yours isn't exactly a great neighborhood where people are known for their charitable acts towards cats, as your own wife told me. But you're right, it's not my business. I do hope they at least got their shots from that vet fund. Being outdoor cats might be fun for them but it's not great, health-wise. Jill I think many of us do overreact, Jill, but it's out of caring. I know I was thinking of my own cats in this situation if it comes up while I have them all and have to leave them to someone else, and Julie did make a good point that I won't know or have a say after I'm gone. Sorry for the run-on sentence. I just like to think that someone's dying wishes are honored only because I'd want mine to be. Allan, I apologize too. |

A few questions about Christy
wrote in message
... Yeah, you did. You don't post much about yourself online here and neither do I. Thinking out of the box, as they say, there are many others in this ng who are very different from me, that way. I live mostly in the RL dimension and not in cyberspace...that's why I have trouble thinking of names on a PC as real live people....unless I communicate wth them using any of the five senses (forget smell and touch, LOL). I am not criticizing those who are far more into cyberlife and cyberfriends than I am..I am just not one of them. However...you don't have to be one to share the cat fanatic gene. To quote Merle H...."when you're runnin' down my kitties, hoss you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me" but you're a calm, logical thinker........ ======================== Yeesh, I can't even quote your post correctly, but you seem to be looking down your nose at a lot of people with that malformed paragraph. Just curious, do you think that someone who posts more than you do lives in the cyberworld, whatever that is? No matter what you wrote here, you put down a lot of people in at least 2, possibly 3 categories. Congrats. Death sucks. It brings out the worst in people left behind. |

She didn't know she had it until they did her blood work at Mayo.
They found her liver enzymes were astronomically high. Then they discovered she had hemochromatosis. She told me that they then called her and told her that she had brought it on herself by drinking. I don't know if that's the case or not. Some doctors really need a course in sensitivity. I think they forget they are talking to a human being. Bobble |

"Matthew" wrote in message ng.com... "ScratchMonkey" wrote in message .. . "Sharon & Smudgie" wrote in : I'm now butting in to say I have been rather shocked at all the accusations that have been thrown around the group about her husband. Our political threads have been pretty tame compared to this one. Maybe we should ban talking about cats in this newsgroup, too! This is one time I am glad I had to work all weekend and was not here to jump the gun The cats are still in danger, Matthew. They look think too. They have to be covered in fleas, they live in the sand down there. I am no stranger to death or grief. This is inexcusable. It's obviously up to those who allegedly loved Christy to take care of it. They're just cats, anyway, right? |

wrote in message ... I was not referring to what the fund/credit *IS*. I was referring to what *he* might *attempt*. He might possibly be quite intimidating to front-desk vet lower level employees. Or maybe he looks like Jesus (not Madonna's ex, Jesus). You never thought he's do what he did so far, did you? ********************** Alan? That doesn't jibe with the man that I met last June. Alan adored Christy and made friends with the cats at the gathering. He was very solicitous of Christy's strength and caring about her problems. I just can't see him as doing any thing to harm the cats. The video shows the cats outside, but it doesn't indicate that this is the only place they are. I got the impression that they were now indoor/outdoor cats. This is not a crime against nature, and, if it works for them, great. You could call mine indoor/outdoor as they have full access to the kitty gaol. I cannot let them have the full out due to city regulations and sanity due to traffic, dogs, and other critters.

She told me that they then called her and told her that she had brought it on herself by drinking. I don't know if that's the case or not. It's an inexcusably vicious and misleading way to describe the situation. Haemochromatosis is a genetic syndrome which is worsened by alcohol, but at a level that would not be a problem for most people. Since most folks with haemochromatosis don't know they've got it, it's ridiculous to blame them if they drink. I totally agree. For that matter, I think it's pretty horrible to talk that way to a bona-fide alcoholic who doesn't have hemocromatosis. I expect a *doctor* of all people to understand that alcoholism is a disease, not a moral defect. The patient really doesn't need that kind of condescending lecture, especially when they've just gotten the news that they're dying, for God's sake! I'm not saying that Christy was an alcoholic, just that the issue of blame doesn't have any place in a medical setting. That doctor makes Greg House seem like a diplomat. -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

Like I said, if she had known of her liver disorder in time, she could have done something about it. As it went, she was in tears telling me that everything she'd been eating for the last 20 years that she thought was so good for her was killing her. That is heartbreaking. I can hardly bring myself to watch the video... -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

"Yowie" wrote in message ... Having watched the two youtube videos, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFURD5dp_QU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QCHIZQmiOY all *I* see is two cats who seem to be enjoying the outside, and male voice that seems to hold them in some affection. Since when was it a crime to let cats outside? When was calling a cat 'Retard' considered abuse? I know that two youtube videos is hardly the 'whole story' but there is nothing in those videos to suggest that the owner of those cats is in any way abusing or neglecting them. They look like healthy happy cats that have a good relationship with the person behind the camera to me. If folks have any concrete evidence that Alan is abusing and/or neglecting the cats, then it needs to be reported to the authorities, not posted about here. Despite personal opinions of him and his character, posting to a public newsgroup implying he is an animal abuser is innapropriate at best and libellious at worst. Yowie Thank you. I know I should have snipped this, but it bears repeating. There is NO PROOF that Alan is harming those cats in any way. I met Alan last year, when he knew that there was a limited time left for Christy, and that person would NEVER harm her beloved friends. Please either find proof and contact the authorities or stop maligning a person's reputation. In other words, either put up or shut up. Pam S. |
