Ya know, If I wanted to be judged, I would have entered a

popularity

contest. Perhaps you people could stick to answering the posts

and

keep

your judgements to yourselves, since you probably don't know

the

entire

story.

Perhaps you could take your cat to the vet before she dies.


Perhaps you could kiss my ass!

Do you want advice, or are you just here to p*ss people off?! This

cat

_really_ does need to see a (competent) vet, immediately.

I have been envisioning "Big Daddy" stopped up like a corked bottle
and unable to pee for a week, (we'll give him two broken legs so he
can't take himself to the doctor) trying to explain to some BFI (big
f***ing idiot) like him why maybe it is time to take him to the
doctor. I'm not saying this ought to happen, but I am enjoying the
picture of him pleading while the BFI does a couple of nights of web
searching.

*People* who have surgery need to be up and having a bowel movement
within a few days or they can die.



Haha, that was funny!

I have another vision. "Big Daddy" not being fed and no scraps available
to him. He pleads with his keeper for food.

All the while his keeper is searching the Internet for definitive
evidence this "Big Daddy" life form actually needs to be fed.

When such evidence is found, the keeper says it is too late to get
anything for today. Will get food on the way home from the office tomorrow.

Food finally arrives, but "Big Daddy" life form is now lifeless sprawled
out on the floor. It was obvious in his last moments of life "Big Daddy"
had been chewing on the newspaper ad with the picture of the hamburger
and fries.

Okay, you turn it around so we can get a good shot at this okay?

I'll put on my steel toed boots and try to make a field goal with you as
the football.

rubbing hands This will be fun.

just mystified as to why so many dog owners let their dogs bother cats in a
waiting room.

It is for this and other reasons I go to a cat only vet clinic.

No scary monsters around upsetting fluffy. ;-)

Yes, the other cats in the waiting room can be scary enough, if they are crying
in fear themselves, but at least they are all in carriers. Another reason I
prefer a cats only clinic is that overall I think they tend to be more
knowledgeable and up to date with the latest research in feline medicine. The
dog and cat clinic I went to had posters on the walls urging people to have
their cat vaccinated with the new FIV vaccine, something I doubt a responsible
feline specialist would ever promote.

In any case, I talked with
someone I work with, and he mentioned that his cat had similar
problems and
that it was a kidney problem. The cat eventually died from it.
Anyway,
Sammy is at the vet overnight tonight and she's having some tests
done.

Well good. I would like to suggest that not EVERYONE would fail to
understand that a week of not eliminating in and of itself is
life-threatening. Not everyone would need to check around with friends
and newsgroups. In fact I would have to say that MOST people
understand that not eliminating at all for that long is very
dangerous. It is why people used to give laxatives and enemas to
children on a regular basis. Sometimes the laxatives were things like
Bella Donna (no kidding) and people did not understand that a little
bit of poisonis medicine and a lot is, well, poison. I have an 1800s
ancestor who died from a laxative overdose. [Yes, go ahead, laugh, I
did too.] This is why it seemed you might not care about the cat,
and/or were trolling us.



Hope all goes well.



I do too, as does everyone here. Let us know how it works out, pardon
the pun.

Same here. I've been to the vet at 1 am just because my cat was
stuck
there scared overnight, and it was an emergency vet and opened
any ways,
and let me come by just to sit with him.


Ditto. More times than I can even remember anymore.

WELL PIN A MEDAL ON ALL YOUR ASSES!!

I don't know, folks, I kind of like this guy.



As long as his cat lives, that is.

I smell a troll.

The vehemence of the replies, combined with the lovely language,
sure
makes me think it, anyway.

Kaeli--I think he is just a hothead, and a bit of a bonehead on top of
it.

Rather endearing, at least in small doses. Sometimes people who will
prove to be good contributors to a group stumble in kind of ,,, errr
,,, AWKWARDLY, shall we say.
