🚩Your Cat is Sending You Warning Signs - Don't Ignore Them!🚩 

The vet made me fill out a form demanding my DOB as "DEA required" WTF does the DEA NEED my personally identifiable info one one sheet of paper to get veterinary care for my cat? "Hee- hee well that's for 'opiates.'" The DEA believes I'm using MY CAT to doctor-shop for opiates? You are gleaning an identity theft database demanding my date of birth before you even examine my cat! Now the scum janitorial service and all employed can go to town. "Oh Goodness, NO! Nobody (except our crooked employees and vets) will see this cause it's confidential. You KNOW that you'd NEVER prescribe my cats pain meds! Dear God, not opiates!!!

@lau S, I don’t know what your problem is dude, but I’d say it’s probably got something to do with you trying to get opiates for your “cat”. The people who work at or for and who are vets aren’t crooked, you flipping weirdo. 🙄

@@gaynorgregory2528 What a paranoid and bizarre reaction!!!!

@@victoriachapman1790 I’m assuming you mean lau’s? If so, I agree, it’s also bullying a vet’s assistant which I hope you also think is not on?

@phil donahue This is not veterinary advice, but... If you're able to, get them both checked out by a vet. It sounds like you got a pretty good idea of what Baby's normal behavior is - any deviation from the norm is worthy of a vet visit, even if the vet just tells you that nothing is (medically) wrong. Then you can go on and look at any behavioral issues. Getting Max neutered is likely a good idea, regardless of whether or not it's the root of Baby's problem. This is especially important as you're letting your cats out - while a neutered male cat will still likely fight in order to protect himself and his territory, intact males roam further afield in their search for a mate, and thus tend to have larger territories, leading to increased chances of fighting. The fights can lead to certain diseases being transferred to your cat (especially if they're not vaccinated), and the deaths they face are honestly long, slow, and painful. If Max contracts an especially contagious disease through fighting (panleukopenia is a big one!), there's a very, very high chance that he'll pass it on to Baby (even if Max and Baby don't fight), and then you'll be faced with having to either pay a very expensive vet bill, or euthanasia. Neutering also means you'll be reducing the chances of him contracting certain cancers, you'll likely see reduced spraying (if not having it be eliminated altogether), and his regular pee will just smell less. And yes, it may ultimately solve your problems with Baby (although it's hard to say at this point). The neutering process in most healthy males is super quick, and recovery generally goes smoothly (you'll have to try and keep him calm and as still as possible for a little while, though!). I hope that answers your questions (or at least gives you some food for thought!)

That warmed my heart. He sounds like such a darling.

@@mikoto7693 thanks. He's my good boy

Yes! I recently had major surgery. My girl of almost four years old, a Siamese mix, was so upset, she cried and howled non stop. I had to cuddle with and reassure her that mom was going to get better. She calmed down and could see me struggle, so adapted to the temporary new me. Aren't our kitty kids amazing? 🐈

This is not the first time I heard of a cat warning a human because something was wrong. One of my sister-in-law's cat fell of the window and another of her cats run to her very alarmed to tell her.

I agree completely! Mine jump on me and pester me mercilessly when my blood sugar crashes. Or when I badly need to go to bed. Definitely good to listen to what our babies say! 💖🐾💖🐾

That's amazing! Smart kitty

And you killed the scorpions why? They are alive too

@@captnwinkle Oh my god lol

@@captnwinkle you know that microscopic creature you killed while getting on the toilet? Or how about that harmless microbe your immune system killed? They clearly have the same intelligence and level of conscioussness as a cat, you little b***** you are going to h**** f*** y*** Y*** F***** D******

how did you kill 3 apparently "large" scorpions on the wall i'd just flood the room with my piss

Unfortunately some vets are incompetent. The patients and the owners pay the price. My poor bff and I did. :(

Omg relief

@@jthomas3773 Oh I definitely have experience with incompetent vets. I know this is a cat video, but my mother asked a vet about a small bump on her dog's lower abdomen and was told "oh don't worry, it's just a hotspot, it'll disappear". This would continue for the next couple visits. Fast forward six months, the "hotspot" has not only not gone away, it's grown, won't heal, has begun to fester, and the poor dog is now in obvious pain. Obvious spoiler alert: it was cancer, like my mom initially thought. She caught the problem half a year before the so-called "professionals" did. Long story short, we got the tumor cut out and our little dog is coming up on 14 years old and is back to having a spring in her step. But we never looked back at that useless vet whose ineptitude almost killed our pet.

@@Ebon_Sean Excuse me??? Diarrhea is one of THE Red flag in cats from the time i've worked with vets in animal shelters, and the vet just shrugged that off? complete incompotency.

@@wandereringshadow8658 I think it was the vet's assistant. Either way, she definitely shouldn't have that job, she clearly doesn't care to actually do it.

Did you tear strips off your friend, who works at a vet clinic and told you it was nothing much? I would have. I would also speak with her boss and let them know ALL their staff need training on what signs in animals mean something is seriously wrong. If she doesn't know which signs are serious, she should not be working around animals.

@@HollyOak It's a little more complicated than that, but I didn't want my long comment to be even longer. It wasn't that she thought it was no big deal. She didn't think he was fine and dandy, but she didn't think it was an emergency. There were reasons why she didn't want to take him in sooner, which were valid if it really hadn't been a problem. In the past, he'd had an issue with constipation because of his back injury, so she thought it was that. She also saw him urinate and erroneously believed it couldn't be a blockage. I think she was just a little too confident about what she thought it was, and though I argued with her a bit, I was less certain and ended up relenting. When he was dragging himself, she thought it was due to the gabapentin she gave him because she thought he was just in pain. That can happen at times, temporary paralysis of the back legs. And to be fair, he went downhill very quickly, so it was only a day before I realized she couldn't be right about the pain response, and when I said he needed to go in now, she dropped everything to take him. That being said, I admittedly was furious with her. I was so angry that I hadn't trusted my gut, and she'd been so sure about it that it made me second guess myself. I never told her just how angry I was with her, so yeah, I did want to lash out a bit. But he lived, so I didn't. I think if he'd passed, it would have permanently damaged our friendship. But he's standing on my leg right now being obnoxious, so I'm willing to forgive her. This was years ago, too, and she learned from her mistake. Like I said, it was more complicated than her just brushing it off, but my comments are already short novels.

@@HollyOak Also, the reasons she didn't want to bring him in earlier were for his own benefit, I just didn't want to get into the issues there. But yeah, she misunderstood what was happening as a previously less severe thing that had happened in the past and thought it would be better to bring him in when his usual doctor was back in the office.

Dear god, if your animal can not walk anymore and u still didnt take him to emergency? I m very happy the poor animal survived such a bad owner

​@@bambinaforever1402 I explained that part in the comments that followed, Karen.

AND we have to advocate for pain relief for our kids. They can't ask for it! lf we would be in pain from something, so will they be. After surgery, pain relief meds should be automatic - but they're not. You have to insist. Anti-inflammatory AND opioid meds!

Most vets are butchers. If you meet an honest one, that's 1 in a million!

My old cat was so depressed when his teeth were removed because they were rotten, he didn’t eat, but i syringe fed him and he started to eat on his own. He also was diagnosed with early kidney abnormalities because of the blood work before his teeth extractions. If he wasn’t diagnosed that early it would have been too late by the time the symptoms showed. He lived for 17 years, from 2016-2021 after being diagnosed. Going to the vet is important to maintain their health.

Also if you have the slightest doubt, get a second opinion. Two of my cats have been misdiagnosed by two different vets from the same clinic. Went to a different one, one of them got the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Unfortunately it was too late to save the other one.

💖

My first ever post here on YT. Please can I encourage you to research the carnivore diet. If humans can completely reverse diabetes and get off all insulin, surely feeding cats their natural diet can do the same.. Wishing you and your little one perfect health. Blessings !

@@tinamassey3426 hey hello, as a vet tech can I suggest you not give this person medical advice about her pet when she's working with a vet? Especially since this advice could absolutely be deadly.

@@tinamassey3426 You are not this cat's vet. Do not give unsolicited medical advice. You could do real harm.

@@tinamassey3426 I hope it's your last post

@@tinamassey3426 I completely agree. Diabetes is a metabolic disease. It doesn't come out of thin air. It is absolutely manageable and preventable using a biologically appropriate diet with proper professional supervision. People don't realize that kidney disease, kidney stones. UTIs, diabetes, and more are so common because kibble is NOT safe for cats due to insufficient water content and horribly backwards macronutrient breakdown. Cats are not meant to eat dried carbohydrates, they are meant to eat fresh meat. It is absolutely reprehensible that veterinarians support kibble for cats. The consequences of an improper diet for cats are dire. Find a high quality wet food or see a veterinary nutritionist for professional guidance on how to feed a raw diet.

Love it thank you ❤️

That is great advice. My cat is indoor/outdoor and refuses to use a litter box, so I don’t have that as a gauge. I have to rely on regular touch-related checks of her body, and her eating habits to tell me if anything is wrong.

@@shandytown7019 me too.

At any time in their lives, but better when they're younger, teaching a cat paw, e.g. to present their paw for a reward, then they get used to you touching their paws over about 6 months

I'm so glad my new cat likes to be scratched EVERYWHERE, including her entire limbs and belly. Hopefully I'll know when she's hurt with this method!

Hello Mary how’s the weather over there

@@stevenhenry4227 what do you mean

@@sirr4tho819 If you follow Steve’s comment trail, he says that to a lot of women. I think it’s his way of flirting or starting a conversation. If I wanted to flirt or talk with you, I’d prob say “Sir, what was the best sandwich you have ever had?” Steve uses the weather to flirt/start conversations

Thats adorable

@@RegisteredNurseL.A. this took a really hilarious turn

How long do you go for?

I do the same. Playing for 5 to 10 minutes with everyone together or alone (depends on the mood of the cats) and then they sleep the whole night. 👍🏻

My husband has a nightly ritual with both cats. A lot of hide and seek and laser chasing. After about 10-15 minutes they both are tired and ready for bed. We don’t hear them all night. He occasionally works out of state for a few days at a time. When he’s gone I often get jolted awake from them launching themselves off of walls and running through the house with late night zoomies. I’ll have to remember to tire them out next time he’s out of town. Our older cat also knows the signs when hubby is leaving. She lays on his toiletry bag when he packs. I think she’s trying to hide it. Like he can’t leave if he doesn’t have his toothbrush and deodorant. lol When we first started dating he claimed he was 100% a dog person and anti-cat. Now he sends me pics of our cats and can’t leave the pet section in stores without buying treats and toys for them. He even sends me pictures of other peoples cats when he sees them.

@@ing4079 This is precious. ❤️

@@ing4079 k

slow blinks are the best!

@@itemushmush Definitely! We slow blink at him a lot. We also figured out how to call him by doing a low gesture like a “come here” sort of thing - hand down to his eye level, palm up, and pull fingers in towards the palm. He comes without fail!

I totally understand what you mean! Not a cat but my 13 year old Cocker Spaniel has lost most of his hearing and now he's lost some of his vision! Breaks my heart but the vet says there's nothing that be done. It's his age and the aging process.

what did you give her insteqd of chicken ???? plz reply

@@sadiasiddique852 Just cat foods that don't have chicken or undisclosed poultry in the ingredients. 🙂 If there's a suspected allergy, sticking with one flavor from a limited ingredient diet label at the start helps! Just be sure to give them a few weeks before trying new protein sources. It takes a while for their immune system to calm down.

@@valumtimes aaww thanks!💓

@@sadiasiddique852 Not a problem! Best of luck to you. 🐈‍⬛️🤍

I'm so glad you figured it out! They put chicken in so many cat foods, it can be difficult to pinpoint.

Those of us who are highly sensitive are constantly being labeled as “too...” or “just...”, and this includes cats as well as humans. The everyday world can be incredibly stressful, and sensitivity is not a weakness. Your baby blessed you with the wisdom to trust yourself - and maybe some more cats. 😻

@@ginalibrizzi5204 Yes! Thank you!

Very touching.

I rescued an older cat (the vet thinks 12 years) who was a stray most or all of her life. I'm from NYC, so my cats have been indoor by necessity. Now I live in the Bay Area, but I still keep them in because I believe it's safer (and rescue orgs actually insist on it). Back to my rescue... She is sooooo happy to be an indoor cat. She's incredibly loving and affectionate and loves snuggling in blankets. She's also so sensitive she shakes in fear and wheezes when she's startled. I tried to put her by the window to get some sun and air one day and she freaked out! She doesn't even want to *see* the outdoors anymore. It makes me so sad to think how terrified and stressed she must have been living outside all those years. 😢

I'm a postman and see cats standing at there door meow moew so I press the bell so they can get in there homes some homes don't have cat flipps believe or now

Thank you for loving an ol' girl

Hello Julia how’s the weather over there

My cat had itchy skin as if she had fleas. She didn’t because she is treated for fleas. Also she had bad behaviour. She would bite me. Didn’t want to be patted. Just not happy at all. All that itching was affecting her behaviour. She started eating food without fish and I noticed a difference in her behaviour and her itch. So I’m not giving her anything with fish in it anymore. I’ve read the protein in fish is hard on some cats. Fish is not a food that cats hunt. Fish oil doesn’t have fish protein in it so I’m waiting to see if she can tolerate fish oil that is in many foods. She is now following me all around and can tolerate a lot more petting. She is just much sweeter.

yep, seems like they just don't want to make us worry :(

Hello Natalia how’s the weather over there

I totally relate to this. Thank you

@@lisazappala4381 You're welcome. Just don't give up. There are people out there who understand. And they tend to be terrific people. Not everyone will reject it. It's hard work but it's worth it.

As a fellow chronic pain sufferer, I agree! Sometimes when a flare is just ramping up, before I even realize it’s starting, my actions and behaviors will tell my husband loud and clear that my pain is ramping up. That same recognition of pain’s body language has helped me understand my 17 yr old CKD kitty much better! A lot of the time, I just know when something is not right with him. I’m able to read his behaviors just like my hubs can read mine. Gentle hugs, fellow warrior. 🙏🏻

I take my rescued pets to the doctor more than I take myself hahaha

@@rrmother3748 🙏

Vet visits don’t have to end in screaming and blood. There’s some mild sedatives such as gabapentin that can really take the edge off of kitty’s anxiety. “Cat friendly” or “fear free” vets also have additional training in lower stress handling.

👍

Or some vets come to you.

Banfield is one such provider found inside some PetSmart stores and is very reasonable. Top quality vets. They even sent my cats Christmas cards and birthday cards. Too bad my physician doesn't do that. All he sends me are bills.

My cats goes to vets once a year just to know what changed.i analyse them because sometimes numbers are good but on a higher number it should be ..like renal function..it wont ever go back to original but you can help it not deteriorate so fast.. 😻

I’m so glad you took her in even though your mom was saying no. 💚

hi Alyssa, Was

hi Alyssa Was your cat able to be saved the one that swallowed a sewing needle? i sure hope so and I pray so.. if you read this please respond...... and yes we should all be very alert and observant of our kitty cats and dogs too and any other animals we have for that matter, we should be observant and aware of any little changes sometimes they don't show you right away but if they start throwing up sometimes it's could be something very serious and sometimes not but I rather air on the side of caution... and one of the biggest things I've noticed to be aware of is if they don't want to eat there's some reason why they don't want to eat pay attention to that immediately and then of course noticing if there's taking a long time or going often to go pee or poo.. please everyone just be aware of any changes even subtle changes.

@@barbmanley3114 He did survive the needle incident, but he's since died due to diabetes complications though.

My one cat had allergies. But when she had blood in her eye, I thought she scratched her eye due to it watering from sneezing. We took her to the emergency vet because we couldn’t get in for weeks. We were told she had cancer in her nose & it was inoperable. They thought we had a few months with her & we were given meds to keep her comfortable. She had less than 3 weeks. I felt terrible. I was so sick just a few weeks before. I didn’t notice if she was trying to tell me she didn’t feel well. Was she cuddling me more because I was sick or because she was? I’ve had to let pets pass over the rainbow bridge before but after I let her go…she was the only one I thought…I changed my mind. I want her back. I didn’t have the time they said I would. It’s been a few months & I’m still heartbroken.

we can prevent a lot of situations reading their behavior right?

Hello Lorraine how’s the weather over there

I also wanted to mention that hyperthyroid can be actually cured. My then-17 year old cat had it, and my vet recommended radiocat. After crunching numbers, the radiocat treatment was more cost efficient than hyperthyroid medication if she lived more than a year and half. Well, she's 18 and half now, and doing great, besides the pain/hypertension/start of kidney disease. Her thyroid numbers are great now though!

...sending LOVE and many blessings of health and well being to your senior kitty ❤😻❤

May all of our babies live as long as yours! My oldest is 14 1/2 now. And I tell him I need him to be healthy and with me for a lot more years! 💖🐾💖🐾

When my cats got elderly I noticed they tend eat a lot

@@brittany6682 My Cocoa Chanel had thyroid, meds ineffective, maybe 4 years old...Back in the 1990s I paid 800 dollars for radiation treatment. She stayed in Cary, NC for 2 weeks, at the only vet that provided that then. She returned a changed kitty, no longer testy, twitchy, vomiting, fighting, starving all the time. She lived 20 years. On the other hand, My sweet buddy Keaton, aged 16 1/2, tested for thyroid, doesn't have it. Begs for food several times a day, I feed him up, but he continues to lose weight. Vet says it is likely cancer. Putting him to sleep this coming Saturday morning. Heart broken.

Omg I'm so sorry 😭

Diana - poor you. Your little boy was obviously very special. Stay strong in the memories of times shared with your beautiful boy.

Sometimes there's hidden problems that you can only know through vet tests e.g. cancer (I lost a cat to cancer)

So sorry for your loss!! ❤

I’m so sorry…but please - no guilt. I’m sure you did everything you knew, and your love for your boy is more important than feelings that in the long run are destructive to you and his memory.Much love.

I'm so very sorry. It's the hardest thing to do 🥺😢, saying goodbye to our fur babies. I had to euthanize my boy 9 yrs ago because he had kidney issues. I could tell he was suffering so I let him go. I still miss him every day 😞. My thoughts are with you...🙏❤

I’m prone to emailing my vet if I have questions but not significant concerns. They are always incredibly helpful about whether a visit is warranted or not. The other night I sent them an email at 9:30pm about a non-urgent question and fully expected not to hear from them until some time the next day, but one of the vets emailed me at 11pm to tell me not to worry and provided detailed info.

@@sadiek8785 that’s so cool!! Sadly here the vets all take weeks to answer e-Mails if they even respond at all. So it’s way faster to just drive there or give them a call.

@@sadiek8785 Wow you have great vets. Hold onto them. Just like human doctors, good animal doctors are very hard to find.

Where I live there is a service that allows for a video call, I think it's 3 times a year per pet with our insurance. This prevents any unnecessary visits and the service is free. However, I've also learned that vets that take insurance are actually worse than the other ones and tend to recommend unnecessary procedures because of a deal they have. They still take care of the animal, but are more likely to jump to surgery or other methods that cost more because it makes more money for insurance companies and the vet office. I'm hoping in the future when I have more money to go with vet that is more focused on actual care rather than whatever deal they have with insurance companies. But for now, the free video chats are good to have an option because animal health care in my country (not the USA) is stupid expensive.

yeah, those kidney foods... my girl hated them, so, since we knew the end was coming we just let her enjoy the best food she would eat.

I’ll totally get that up on TikTok and shorts/stories thx!

Poor thing, so sorry for your loss.

@ꕥ Mollyblinks ꕥ Yes, I was surprised it was not talked about more often. I wish I had known. 😓

@@JacksonGalaxy please talk about when they're grieving another cat passing in the house, especially a sibling how can we see that kind of stress?

add christmas Pointsetta's. Do check , read the list of toxic plants before you get an animal & if you have one now ..

Cosequin , is a good arthritus Rx, from vet or farm shop

my vet has me give my cat dasquin every day mixed in with her food and it’s been really helpful! also works for humans too.

My Elder Cat refuses to take her joint medication. For a while, she stopped hanging out on the bed in favor of the couch. When we got her stairs for the bed, she returned to being reigning monarch of the pillows. She can’t jump as high as she used to, so it’s up to us to adjust things.

My cat will be 14 this year so I have been paying attention to him to make sure he can still get up on things. He still does really well and never seems to be uncomfortable. But that is something I think about a lot having a senior cat. I know eventually, I'll have to make my home accessible to him like you did with yours.

This is SO important! Humans underestimate animals' pain. We have to pay close attention to them, and give them all the accommodations we would give humans.

one of my cats is 15 (we estimate) and she started to wake me up many times/night being frantic, over a year ago. I asked the vet if cats can have dementia, she said yes, because of the symptoms my cat had. Vet wanted to give pharma medication of course, I went online to educate myself. I started to feed my cat RAW meat, (good for human consumption, don't worry) and within a week or 3 my cat was getting better and a few weeks later she was 95% better!! My vet openly said she doesn't agree with giving my cat raw meat! lol, I don't care, my girl still gets her raw meat every day and she is doing great! and I can SLEEP!

Try the crystal litter (fine), I am also not a fan of the clay one and many years ago went over to the crystals, but the fine one coz most cats don't like the coarse one. I never had issues with my quarantine kitties (I rescue stray/feral cats and they are normally kept in a separate room for a period of time due to either medication/ajusting to rest of cat family before they join the rest and in the period they have to use litter boxes.

Good call. People are way too selfish and forget that just because some marketing gag (like scented cat litter) appeals to YOU doesn't mean for one second that it will be healthy or appeal to your feline.

Pine is toxic to cats!! They should not be using it in litter at all! I'm shocked that they still use it these days. Of all the options that exist too.

Sometimes there may be additives in pine litter. I tried the pellet kind and it made both my cats lose the fur on their stomachs. My son moved out and took his cat. A few months later, I noticed that her fur grew back. He was using clay litter. I figured that they both must be allergic to something in the pine litter. I went back to plain clay litter, and my cat's fur also grew back. My opinion, plain, old fashioned cat litter is best. sprinkle baking soda on it to absorb odors. Forget the fancy, high priced stuff!

I hope your cat gets better. ☹️

Hope she feels better soon. Let us know what the vet says.

Keep us updated. I hope everything is alright.

Good luck at the vet! I hope it's something easily remedied.

Kittens do eat more than adult cats, though. That's not unusual. Around 2-3 times a day. Because they are WAY more active & they are growing! My kitten eats 3 times a day, wet food, about a 1/2 can at a time. (He gets royal canin kitten food). The congestion I would get looked at, upper respiratory in kittens and cats can get bad fast if left untreated. Hope your kitten gets well soon!

I have one because I developed problems with motor control and can’t rely on being able to scoop, but I do regret the data loss. Only if they must should people invest in one - and be careful and read a lot of reviews. When this started the main and cheaper kind were big rakes that passed through the litter when the cat left the box. Those things collected sticky poop and were harder to clean than a litter box. If you have to buy one, be prepared to spend money.

i hope another frry friend come to your life wehen you are ready

Siamese' are the best!

@@helpfulnatural Oh! Aren’t they just! I love being a meezer mum 🥰

Reminds me of his show my cat from hell

Lucky you! Siamese are wonderful and have such endearing personalities. They tend to be very talkative and people-oriented. Smart, too! My aunt had one that lived to be 24, and he taught himself to use the toilet by watching his people. It was hilarious to go in her bathroom and see him squatting on the potty, looking like "Hey! A little privacy here?" 😸😻

As a kid my grandparents (who were Dutch but they moved lived in Australia) always had a Siamese cat named Tiffany and when I got to a teen one day I said to my mum "Geez mum nans cat Tiffany would be old by now" my mum told me" Tiffany has been replaced multiple times since then, when Tiffany died they would just get a new Siamese cat and they would call it Tiffany even if the cat was a boy" I knew they did it with their pet dog but I didn't know the cat has been replaced multiple times.

Because of the thyroid he became a lot worse and started to attack my boyfriend and I for no reason and this time usually after he attacks after a couple of days he’s fine but this time he wouldn’t calm down but after bringing him to the vet and giving him medication he seems to be doing a lot better but for now we have to keep in in a big dog cage because he’s unpredictable. The doctor also recommend to put him on calming medication and so we’re gonna try that and hopefully that’ll keep him mellow

its very important to learn to read the signs they gave us

We shut ours in with us at night; it helped her to not feel lost. Unfortunately, she got to a point where she would sleep so soundly she wouldn't wake up to use the box. Our waterproof mattress covers and spot cleaner machine were essential items for her final few years.

@@brittany6682 you had your cat irradiated? Did he/she seem the worse for wear from it? This is sth I considered but where I am it’s prohibitively expensive. My kitty would lose his mind, too.

@@ozywomandius2290 She was totally fine from the procedure. Her hyperthyroidism is now cured.

Hello Donna how’s the weather over there

Great idea - I’ve done a piece about quarantine cats but of course that was at the very beginning of the pandemic. Time for another!

Jackson may not be a vet, but when it comes to feline behavior I trust his advice over the average vet who has to know about all kinds of animals. Kitties are his passion in life, and it shows. I've gotten terrible advice from some vets I'm glad I didn't follow. About 25 years ago, my elderly cat, "Spaz" was diagnosed with diabetes. The vet told me to spend a few days saying goodbye to him, but he needed to be euthanized asap. I went home and looked up all I could about feline diabetes and found it was treatable. I told the vet I decided to try treating my cat instead of having him put down. He sneered and said it won't work, the cat will hate me for giving him daily injections and he will die a miserable death within a month or so anyway. I found a different vet who helped us. Spaz got so used to insulin injections, if I was late he would remind me by going to the fridge and meowing, then go to his spot on the couch where he always got his shot. I ran into the first vet about a year after he diagnosed Spaz, and he said, "So, how long did your cat last before he suffered a painful death?" I told him my cat was doing great and doesn't mind his treatment at all. I don't think he believed me, but who cares. Spaz lived 3 years after that diagnosis, I did have him euthanized when his kidney failure left him with no quality of life. He lived 18 years. He was with me when my fiance suddenly died in 1989, at the age of 32. Spaz was my greatest comfort when my baby son was kidnapped in 1993 and missing almost a year, and he was my dearest friend who helped me get through the shock and grief of losing my sweet dad to murder in 1996. When my mom passed away in 2000, Spaz was still with me, but near the end. A week after she died, I told him it was time for him to cross that bridge, and I would be okay, and that I couldn't feel sadder than I did right then anyway. I was wrong about that! But then, a few days later, a neighbor came over and asked if I knew anyone who wanted a kitten? Her brother found some orphaned kittens at his job site and they were near death. I took one, another neighbor took the other and we worked together to save those sick babies! It gave me something to focus on other than my grief. Both kitties survived and grew to be gorgeous floofers. I named mine "Smidgen" because she was so tiny she fit in the palm of my hand. I'll never be without cats in my life, unless I'm in a coma!

Yes thank you Jackson 😊
