My cat had an accident - I'm sick with worry!

Well, actually I can be a real asshole sometimes. Ask Melinda Shore,
with whom you skirmished a couple of weeks ago. I used to call her
"strap-on" in reference to her lesbianism. That is pretty neanderthal,
right? But Melinda is an old warhorse, posting from panix.com since the
1980s. Some of these google people don't have a clue as to what they're
getting themselves into, and I think it's good sportsmanship to give
them the benefit of the doubt.


So you're also a better sport than I am.

I guess bottom line is, I do not forgive bad judgment when it involves
something like not getting an animal vet attention first thing when it
falls out of a window and has blood coming out of its nose.

I don't understand it, I don't forgive it, and I don't really care how
sorry the OP is. The reason the cat is alive is just chance and luck.

Her cat deserves a better shot than that.

it depends on the treatment, and who you ask.

i think it also kind of depends no which health authority you are with
and where you live inthe country, also what exactly it is you are
suffering from.
for example my aunt had retinal cancer last summer (cancer of the
eyeball basically) and it was only caught when she went for an eye
test for some glasses. anyway, this particualr type of cancer is very
rare, something like 3 people in this country had it last year to that
extent she did, and so she was in hospital the very next week to have
her eyeball removed at the moorfields specialist eye hospital in east
london, no mucking around there.

i think the speed of treatment was because 9a) the cancer was very
likely to spread quickly if the eye was not removed asap and that
woudl probably then cpst the nhs more if they didn;t act straightaway
(b) it is a rare type of cancer so no long waiting lists and (c)
possibly also where she lives, maidenhead, where perhaps the health
authority have more money, or rather the people are fairly wealthy so
more go private and leave more space for nhs patients. Anyway i don't
really know, this is all supposition on my part.

anyway , she also got a really nice glass eye too, free on the nhs.

anyway think about the differences in attitudes between us; you have
your cats declawed and have pristine furniture, we have lots of
scratch marks all over our ancient tables and chairs and deal with it
(and have happy cats as a result), says somethign about the different
ways in which we look at our animasl for me

Sweetie-pie, _some_ people have their cats declawed. It's
controversial, most vets refuse to do it in most circumstances, humane
societies and breeders generally include BOTH "must be an indoor cat
only" and "must not be declawed" clauses in all adoption/purchase
contracts.

I have happy cats, that have all their claws, AND mostly undamaged
furniture, because I've always provided appropriate scratching
surfaces for my cats, and taught them where they are.

As usual, when blathering on about the USA, you have no idea what
you're talking about.

Lis

i said 'some' people, i didn't mean all.

so i have no idea what I am talking about eh? so you are sayign that
when i state that some people in the US have their cats declawed that
I am wrong ? are you sayign that noone in the states gets their cat
declawed?

said that the only thing worse than being laughed at was to be
ignored, and at least I am not ignored if someone is actually going to
the lengths of killfiling me.
you have no idea how much that amuses me that I irk someone so much
that they go to such trouble, ha ha ha! i truly think that to be
universally liked would be a curse, emans you are dull and samey and
forgettable, but at least I have riled someone so much with what i say
that they do this and they won;t forget me.

oh dear lord, you do not know how much that has made my day, very
funny, i am so pleased that you do not consider me to be on your
wavelength and that you have killfiled me, especially considering how
boring and pre-menstrual you yourself have become lately. Just
marvellous!
