Topic: Sirgod's rant about Poo...

[Monty]

 

Having owned two cats myself I found myself laughing very hard at this.

<Points at sirgod and HAHA> dont know how to give Medicine to cats  

[Captain Krenn]

Seems to me if you gave the kitty some of that scotch and whiskey you'd have no problem
getting him to swallow the pill.

Dont look like your not getting much sympathy from us former and current cat owners are you.  If you did it the way you did the dogs pill you would not have much trouble with the cat, course you use a cat treat instead of bacon.

But that would be too easy, and not nearly as Funny.

But seriously folks...

Feline critters require special special handleing when it comes to oral meds.

A good friend of mine worked for a vet and swears by the following:

Pills, coat it liberly w/ plain butter (margerine), pop pill close critter jaws massage throat to encourage swallow reflex will gently holding jaws shut.

For manageing the claws if neccessary for transport or whatever, wrap said critter tightly in towel (yet another use for the towel) trust me it will save you from scratches.

A few years ago my cat had pneumonia and the vet gave us liquid antibotic Xithromax to treat it.  She told just pry the cat's mouth open and squirt it in with the dropper.  No way was I going to stick my fingers in the mouth of an angry cat!

So I cradled her like a baby and very gently poked the side of her mouth with the dropper.  Sure enough she would get PO'd and bite the dropper, at which point I squirted the medicine in.  A few days later she was as good as new!

LOL Sirgod, I guess we got lucky with our cat. She doesn't seem to mind pills or vets.

She is, however, totally brainless. She also doesn't have a fully-working tail after she managed to dislocate it at the point where it joins up with the spine (nasty injury that one, nearly paralysed her). Also, she's great around people and loves making friends. But she can't bear to be near another animal, and has to set about killing any cat, bird, mouse, dog, wolf or elephant that she happens to be near. I've had to pull her off cats before so they could escape while they were still alive - for such a cat who is very sweet-natured around people, she is utterly vicious with other animals.

Hehe, That's one cute Cat. I think I mentioned It before, But It's been years since I have owned a Kitty. Poo today, even though she will fit in one singly palm, Decided for whatever retarted reason she had, to attack My Boston , Gruntie bear.

Gruntie Bear is an old dog, Bitter, and Used to bait Squirells with Cheetoes, In order to chase them (true story actually for another post).

Poo Snuck up on her while GB was sleeping, And pounced. Needless to say It reminded me of the Pic with the eagle swooping down on a mouse, with the caption "Last great act of Defience"

Scared the Hell out of GB, and she quickly went on the offensive, Grabbed Poo by the neck, and Swiftly put her Back in her box.

this repeated most of the night, so I still don't know why the Roller Coster Derailed on CSI, as I was laughing so hard.

Sounds like one we used to have.  Eventually it out grew that, sort of.  When it became too large it would lie across the back of your neck, rear legs hanging forward over one shoulder, forelegs and head hanging forward over the other.  Tail whipping around your face and purring in your ear.  All 20 pounds of it.

Then there was our Hunting Siamese cat.  It was very large, dogs left it alone, it was bigger than our beagles.  It would go hunting (over half a mile away) and bring back full grown rabbits.  Once it brought back a live rat, into the house where it let the rat go as a gift for my mother.

Since we're talking about kittens, I've had a hankerin for a kitten for months now, and Sirgod has me finally doing something about it.  A friend of mine came accross some kittens at a farm she goes to to ride horses alot.  She got medibs on  the last kitten:

 

I'm thinking of naming him Saberfang,

P.S.  I like Latinas...
....And apparently Asian ladies as well...

Sirgod...What Poo  really does when you're not around...

   

[Scott Allen Abfalter]

Could be worse, SirGod.  Could be not-declawed with a waterbed in the house.

Don't ask me how I know.



 

[Khalee]

Now I want another cat or two or three

You know this is one issue were defense technology can save the day! You know those R2D2 looking point defense gatling guns found on naval warships? With a few modifications I'm sure we can reconfigure one of those to shoot cat oral medication. At thousands of pills per minute I'm willing to bet at least a few hit the mouth

Is that the texas school book depository...

dear god it all makes sense!! A cat shot kennedy!
