I've noticed something since joining this group. Frequently, questions are asked about conditions that, while answered with what it probably is, are also left with encouragement to take the animal to the vet. Generally, a good thing, unless the cat is, say, coughing (possibly dust inhalation, possibly cardiac trouble, VET NOW EITHER WAY!), and also noting that it could take some time before you get a response. Not everyone keeps a constant eye on the NNTP feeds. Also, and seemingly like clockwork, somebody will ask if Hartz products are at all good, only to be met with a resounding "$#|+ NO!". So I got this hoopy idea here to start on a FAQ after finding out there wasn't one on the rtfm.mit.edu FAQ repository. I mean, it wouldn't be a comprehensive FAQ list by any means, but something to give people a few good answers for the archive. Besides, there are a seemingly endless number of items that one could tag as things that could be a problem, let alone an urgent problem. So... thoughts? Anybody? ...Bueller? I suggested the same thing for alt.cats a couple of years ago, but I never got it finished - or even really started. Some things that could be covered a inappropriate elimination declawing ear mites flea and tick control how to choose a vet basic feline care (with links) constipation lack of appetite And probably 1000 other ones I am too tired to think of! -L. |
