Do cats get strep throat?
"Victor Martinez" wrote in message
... I've been running a fever since Saturday, and when I went to the doctor she said it was probably strep throat. I got antibiotics and told to take it easy and drink lots of fluids. I'm staying at home today because I had a terrible night and I'm pretty sure I'm contagious. Question. Can I give the cats an infection? Should I avoid snuggling with them? -- Victor M.

What's the difference between an Italian mother and a Jewish mother? The Italian mother says, "Eat your chicken soup or I'll kill you!" The Jewish mother says, "Eat your chicken soup or I'll kill myself!" LOL. And you have a bit of each in your family, don't you? Which brings up the terrifying thought about what a Jewish-Italian mother might do if you didn't eat your soup. But with all the ragging on these stereotypical mothers, I have to say I feel somewhat deprived, not having had either one. I did grow up Jewish, but my mother was a convert. And while you can convert to the religion, you cannot convert to the culture. You have to grow up with it. My mother grew up Protestant, and will never be a Jewish mother! I've always been sort of sorry about that. Joyce |

Beth Israel Hospital offered a course in Yiddish once they started admitting a lot of eastern European Jews, and of course, being a language nut, I signed up for it. I now know more Yiddish than my Jewish friends. LOL, I'm sure you know more than I do. I do make a mean Matzo Ball Soup, if I do say so myself. My WASP ex taught me to make chicken soup. When I visit with some of my Protestant friends' families (they're Yankees, on top of it all) I'm amazed at how "quiet" it can be at the dinner table. They don't talk about ANYthing. No one yells! They don't all talk at once, either. It's so bizarre. :-) LOL, remember the Annie Hall scene with the split screen, that showed his dinner with Annie's family on one side, all quiet and repressed, and the other side showing a dinner with his family, where everyone's complaining about their health? I grew up in one of those noisy families. At holidays, we'd get together with the extended family (on the Jewish side - mom wasn't close to her family), and yes, everyone would be talking at once. It was sarcastic and competitive, though, and as a kid I was totally intimidated by it. In fact I didn't learn to open my mouth in groups until I joined discussion groups (as an adult) that had one-at-a-time talking rules. *Finally*, I could speak without someone interrupting me! So when I hear people who grew up in loud, talky cultures get all nostalgic about dinner tables where everyone was talking over each other, I just scratch my head. Been there, done that, managed to survive, but I don't look back on it all that fondly... Joyce |
