Default The cats of SE4G

I am so mad right now I am seeing double! I got my baby back from the vet two weeks ago, he went in to get neutered and de-clawed. Today I had to take him to my regular vet (they don’t do the above) because I noticed he was acting strange. Not only did they find a flea on him but he also tested positive for tape worm. If I could prove it was those jokers at the other vet I would go there right now and give them a BIG *** piece of my mind!

Yeah, and nothings says fun like giving a cat a pill. Of course, giving droppers of liquid medicine comes in a close second.

I'm sure there's someone you can call to check if there have been any other complaints about that particular Vet; somthing similar to the Better Business Bureau. Maybe the local animal shelter would know.

In any case, I hope your kitty is fine. When one of our cats contracted crystals in his urinary tract, I just about freaked. He was bleeding lightly from down below, but when the doc at the local Cat Hospital took him out of his cage and sat him onto the exam table, he gushed out blood and urine like someone turned on a water tap and then turned it off again. That wasn't easy to see. Fortunately he's alright now. And thank god the Cat Hospital is just around the corner from where we live.

He will be ok but I am going to check into that advice Katchoo. I had the same thought but have not had time to yet; most likely I will have to wait till Monday. I am glad to hear that your cat made it, I don’t know what I would do if my buddy got that ill. Giving him the pill was not all that bad, he was mad at me but he gets spoiled so much he thought it was just another “love on me” session, by the time he knew better it was all over.

On the subject of giving a cat a pill, someone posted a real funny joke on that procedure here on these Boards, but I can't find it with a search. Little help guys?

I saw a friend of mine, with deep purple gashes on his arms and chest. He tried to put his cat in the carrier for the first time for his move -- without opening the carrier first. Clearly, he's never given his cat a pill.

How to give a cat a pill:

1. Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered ornaments from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

9. Check the label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink beer to take taste away. Apply band-aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Drink another beer then get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with eLastic band.

11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put door back on hinges. Drink large tumbler of whisky to take away pain. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of Last tetanus jab. Throw Tee shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

12. Ring fire brigade to retrieve the bloody cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take Last pill from foil-wrap.

13. Tie the little bastards front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed, pry cat's mouth open with small spanner.

Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour a pint of water down throat to wash pill down.

14. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call at furniture shop on way home to order new table. Arrange for RSPCA to collect cat and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

Our cat is currently taking furball medicine. To give it to here we just smear it on her paws and she goes off and licks it off. I am told to give her pills we hold her mouth open, put the pill in and stroke her throat so she swallows. From what I see maybe we just have a nice cat, although sometimes I am patting her and she seems to like it but after a while she gets bored and shows it by suddenly biting my hand.

Cats are always at risk for fleas. In fact my female cat is known by the flea community as the Party Barge.

If they injest a flea, they will develop worms. That is just the sick arse way God set them up to be.

She has worms and no matter what I do, she will always have the disgusting little white rice like buggers popping out at the most incredibly ackward times.

They for the most part are harmless to us, but still it is digusting to say the least.
