'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

FROTHY MOUTH SYNDROME
(Or taking your cat to the vets)
by Richard
Carlyon (UK)
My son had to take his young cat
(a ginger male tom) to the vets the other week. The cat was throwing up a white
frothy substance. The vet kept the cat in for observation. When we went to
pick the cat up we were presented with a £90 bill and an explanation:
The vets wanted to give fluids
intravenously and the first vet tried to put a
catheter into the cat’s leg and promptly almost needed stitches to hand and arm
wounds.
The second vet wrapped a towel
around the cat and thought she had almost managed to do it until the cat escaped
from the towel and with claws flailing wildly scrambled up the vet’s chest and
over her shoulder and away to freedom.
After cornering "the brute" the
third vet calmed him down and gently introduced him to the catheter and told him
what she was going to do with it whereby the cat sank four sets of claws into
her leg and would not let go!
It was at this point that they
gave up and just gave the cat saline injections (several) over the next few
hours along with antibiotics. He was charged for the wasted catheter along with
all the injections, ortho bandage, surgical tape etc. Just for the record, what
has my son called his cat? Garfield! And Pauline's Garfield would have been
proud!
It was only when my son
had Garfield at home the following day and went to feed him some kitty milk that
he discovered that the milk was "off" and curdled. The previous carton must
have been just on the turn and that was why he was sick. A visit to the
supermarket where the milk had been purchased resulted in all of the cartons
being pulled from the shelves and a promise to pay the vet's bill. Garfield
made a full recovery by the way.
Richard
P.S:
My son's cat was named Garfield because he looks
like the cartoon version and when he was a kitten he did a kamikaze dive
into a plate of Spaghetti Bolognese (ok, it's not lasagne but close).

A
Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
Lisa Malone
