I've wondered the same thing. I swear my cat had an upset stomach or a
"bug" one time. He threw up several times in a 24 hour period, didn't eat
much and was not acting his normal self. He's an indoor cat so I don't
think he got into something he shouldn't have. I called the vet, made an
appointment for the next day, fed him Hill's I/D (which is for intestinal
upsets), and gave him 1/4 of a pepcid. Next day he was fine, eating
normally, not vomiting. So I canceled the vet appointment. Vet tech did
tell me that cats can get upset stomachs sometimes. But it wouldn't hurt to
have your cat checked out if her condition continues for more than a day or
2.

S.

It never hurts to get checked. A poster on another board noticed his kitty
was lethargic and not eating and made an appointment.She seemed much better
the next day and he almost didn't go, but decided to just in case, even
though she seemed better. They discovered she had an enlarged heart and a
murmur, plus a little fluid on her lungs. He now knows to be very vigilent
and get her in the moment she seems off. So you just never know, so better
safe than sorry.

Yesterday, my cat Bear wasn't her normal self. She stayed in and rested on the
couch. At that time I just figured she was napping. Nothing out of the
ordinary.

When I got home last night from work, I could see she wasn't feeling good. She
not eating and is weak. A few moments ago she threw up but no food was present.


She is a healthy cat and always has been so I'm not sure what is wrong. Is is
common for cats to get sick with a virus or flu like people do? She has all her
shots so I'm hoping its just a passing illness.

I'm hoping its nothing serious and that she gets better soon. I will be taking
her to the vet today.


Cat's can difinately get the flu and colds. Our three kittens recently
caught a cold from either the last one adopted (from an urban dog
pound), the new dog (who came home with Kennel cough), or one of us.
They were all coughing and sneezing constantly but had no loss of
appetite or loss of energy. A trip to the vet and some meds cleared it
right up.

As long as you pose as a cat lover after what you did to those cats I will
be here to remind others that you paid tohave your beautiful, sweet kittens
mutilated for the sake of your UPHOLSTERED WALLS. I feel it is the least I
can do.

Here's some more ammo for you:

I'm protestant and caucasion.

I'm pro life.

I'm not a huge fan of the death penalty but I think if we have it, we
should use it.

I don't spank my children but was spanked as a child. It did no
lasting damage.

I don't really have an opinion on circumcision and having only
daughters, it's never a choice I had to make. However, my parents had
me circumsized. I don't resent them for it.

I don't think Pete Rose should ever be in the HOF and I don't want to
see an Asterisk by Ichiro's, Barry Bond's, or Mark McGuire's name.

I don't really have a political affiliation. Voted for Bush last time.
I'll probably vote for Keery this time.

I'm a Freemason.

I don't give a crap about gays in the military if they're good at
their vocation.

We also own an Australian Shepperd puppy, a breed born with no tail.
I'm not sure if they have always been a tailless breed or if the
workload put on them by humans caused evolution to deem their tail
unneccessary. If it's the latter, you could also in an indirect way
accuse me of supporting tail cropping.

I drive a truck that gets below average gas mileage.

I'm a Red Sox fan.

My wife an I lived together and had sex before we wed.

I'm sure if you go through this list you can come up with a bunch of
other things to persecute me for. Maybe start a petition in various
newsgroups and websites. I have no warrants or even traffic tickets
outstanding, but since I'm surly such a horrible person, maybe you
could try to get me arrested for my oh-so aggregious offenses. At the
very least, when I reply to a post on topic, you can come in off topic
and remind everyone not only how I "paid tohave your beautiful, sweet
kittens mutilated for the sake of your UPHOLSTERED WALLS" then maybe
follow it up with something like " you Caholic hating, murder
supporting, child neglecting, mutilation supporting, baseball history
hating, Kerry loving, devil worshipping, gay loving, dog hating,
ecology hating, yankee hating, unwedlocked sinner!"


Or you could just get over it and leave me alone.
