"Catnipped" wrote Lyn is The Victim, Lori. She portrays herself as such, and that is apparently what Sherry believes. All I can do is shake my head. This is true. Like you, when I see someone like Suz, who really does have challenges in her life and *NEVER* refers to them much less complains about them, that's when the perpetual "victims" of the world turn my stomach. The really ironic thing is, she has been the aggressor, to the point of carrying Usenet discussions into RL with me, and with you, simply posting any filth she can for the simple reason that you do not follow her lead and flame me. Where the hell was Sherry's sense of outrage then? |

Yeah, I committed the most awful crime of not jumping on the "let's hate Mary" bandwagon thereby inviting the eternal wrath of the paintywaists! ; But really, I think that all happened when Sherry was having computer problems and wasn't following the group. At least I hope so, because I can't think of any other reason why someone I really liked and respected would suddenly turn on me and call me the lowest poster she's ever encountered on Usenet (which, going by the nature of Usenet, is *REALLY* low - LOL). That I couldn't understand because *I* wasn't the one who called someone a half-rotted dildo, or accused someone of burning their cat (ugh, that still makes me ill after the emotional turmoil I went through when Bandit was injured!). It's really, really puzzling, but I guess that's the nature of newsgroups. Well, it may be puzzling, but it *SURE* ain't keeping me awake nights! ; Hugs, CatNipped |

"Janet B" wrote in message
... Do you think Janet is going to run out to the corner Opiate Store and buy painkillers just becaue Lyn said to? LOL - trying to picture the "corner opiate store"! Before x-rays were taken, a substitute vet had me give her 1/2 baby aspirin. No noticable change. She also sold me "Wellactin", a fish oil supplement. Only the cats turned their noses up at the food when I used it. Finally gave up on that one! My current vet said she had several clients test is (by feeding it to their cats! ;-D) and none of the cats liked it either. Again, Janet, I'm not taking issue with how you're treating your cat - from the posts I've read you are a *really* good cat mom. What I *keep* having problems with is Lyn's advice to everyone here to give their cats drugs just to "rule out" things. Advice like that is a staple of her posts and, to her mind, seemingly, makes her sound like a medical authority because she knows the names of drugs! No, there's not a corner opiate store out there... but vets, even more so than human doctors, can be talked into doling out drugs that are not needed. And if you urge someone to ask their vet for a drug for a "possible" illness instead of a definite diagnosis, and you portray drugs as a panacea to all problems, well that's *NOT* good advice and people need to know that that's not good advice, especially in today's world of "quick fixes". (Again, I'm not saying that you're looking for a quick fix I'm saying that Lyn is trying to push a quick fix.) Lyn likes to be seen as the expert on everything she posts about, and I'm just trying to couteract that act with a little common sense. As I'm sure you know, giving drugs is a last resort when nothing else has worked. When a definite diagnosis has been made, and all other options have been tried, then drugs are the solution, but, in my opinion, not *until* then.

These days, it's when she wakes up, almost like she's disoriented. This is common in elderly animals. She also does it early in the morning ("get up and FEED me"). It used to be in the middle of the night primarily, and when we first settled in the family room for the evening. Both seemed to be satisfied when she "found" us. She's been doing that to some extent, for her whole life. Oh, ok. It doesn't sound like pain-induced vocalization then. I was just a bit concerned when you said she vocalizes a lot since that can be pain-induced and/or a sign of hyperthyroidism. She actually usually has a pretty good play session with the other cat in the late evening. But then he comes and sleeps with us. The reason I mention it is because if she is really tired she's more likely to sleep most of the night and less likely to urinate inappropriately. There is also some school of thought that cats who don't get much exercise tend to be prone to develop IC and other LUT issues. X-rays have shown no signs of arthritis. Humm...she is a hard case! You have pretty much exhausted my ideas on what might be causing the strange behaviors. Most of the time when people call me for behavioral issues it's pretty easy to track down the causes, or at least to get some relief. Since the Elavil worked for a short time, I'd be inclined to think about the IC diagnosis more and see if there are any other treatments your vet recommends. I know keeping the cat as unstressed as possible goes a really long way in keeping IC episodes from flaring up. Maybe the Prozac will give some releif once it kicks in (which should be sometime in the next two weeks or so - it tends to take that long for serum levels to get to therapeutic highs.) I also wonder about the late birth - it probably has something to do with her strange behaviors. It's pretty rare for a cat to birth kittens that far apart. If you'd like to discuss this further (or anything else about your kitties), feel free to email me at the address in the header. I hope you can get some solution! -L. |
