Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008SHOOSH!
I may have mentioned that Bucky is a *noisy* cat. When he comes in, he complains more than a Siamese. When he wants out, he meows constantly until we let him out. When he's hungry... well, you get the picture. Tonight, Bucky and Little Boy came in together. After they came n, Bucky started his "meow meow meow meow..." tirade. Little Boy stopped, and swatted Bucky. Bucky wanders on into the kitchen, talking all the way. Dulce Mae swats him. As Bucky leaves the kitchen, talking again, Little Feet swats him. I think the other cats are getting tired of the noisy one (evil grin). No, I didn't train or encourage thm to do this... Hugs and Purrs, Mark > I may have mentioned that Bucky is a *noisy* cat.

When HE wants us awake, he runs across the bed at 25 mph, runs over my knees, which hurts like he-doubletoothpicks, and starts meowing loudly. We're late sleepers, (11 am) and he'll go over to DH's side of the bed, swat at him, DH will half-asleep pet him, them Mosey will come over to MY side of the bed and YELL at me. He has to announce when he uses the litterbox and when he does, if I don't either pay him enough attention, or clean the bawx right away (4 am?) he'll poop on the rug :/ I;ve tried to have talks with him about this but it's 'his' terms not ours. Cats!!! lil stinkers they, but what would we do without them? When Pookie gets mad, he slams the bottom cupboard doors in my bathroom. Kyla --and the fuzzy brats gonna give em some skritches, some nip, and then off to bed. hoping my pooter will work tomorrow. please send purrs for my pooter to keep working > I may have mentioned that Bucky is a *noisy* cat.

Dulce Mae > swats him. As Bucky leaves the kitchen, talking again, Little Feet > swats him. Bucky is adorable :) Quite the little character. Dulce Mae and Little Feet sound like me and my middle brother reacting to our older brother! In my brother's case it's NOT funny. (He's *always* been this way; he's 55.) He is perpetually manic. ADHD? He talks non-stop, about nothing. He constantly interjects comments about whatever he sees or whatever someone says. (A lot of times he means them to be funny; too bad he's not a natural comedian.) He just goes off on tangents about whatever pops into his head. He'll also sit in a room and talk to himself. (I'm pretty adept at tuning him out or simply finding a reason to leave the room. But my middle brother exacerbates the situation because he won't refrain from telling him to shut up, saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, etc. It escalates into shouting matches as they try to talk over each other. Mom got very, very upset every time they were over here last week. It was a huge relief when they left to go back to their hotel.) He needs some kind of medication but I have no idea what. He quit his job in early February over some (probably imagined) slight. Mom is worried he'll never get another job given the way he babbles on all the time. He always manages to find something but the older you get the more difficult it is to find a job, you know? She told me she'd pay for him to go to a doctor and get whatever medication he needs. Should we suggest he go to a GP? Or should he go to a psychiatrist? (He doesn't have to worry about following any managed care system rules.) I'm pretty sure his problem is clinical; a chemical imbalance. He just needs to find the right medication. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Friend, relative? How do we deal with it? Jill > > Bucky wanders on into the kitchen, talking all the way. Dulce Mae > > swats him.

I just keep yakking. People who don't like it end up leaving me alone. Will in New Haven -- > Jill >> Bucky wanders on into the kitchen, talking all the way. Dulce Mae >> swats him.

Yeah, well good luck with that (him, not you). It may not be ADHD. All I know is he talks obsessively, even when there's no one else in the room. Someone once said he just needs tasks to perform to keep him occupied. Yeah, right. Doesn't make a bit of difference. He could be rebuilding a circuit board; he still babbles the whole time, leaping from one subject to the next. I honestly have no idea how he's ever managed to hold down a job this way.

All I > know is he talks obsessively, even when there's no one else in the room. No, that doesn't sound like ADHD, that sounds more like either schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) just feels like you're ready to jump out of your skin - you're doing 95 miles an hour while the rest of the world does 45 (I always explain it thusly: imagine that your brain is like a little hamster running on his little wheel - well my hamster is on acid ;>). A person with ADHD doesn't have any problem controlling his/her behavior, they just want to do things a lot faster and have trouble focusing their attention on anything for any length of time. > Someone once said he just needs tasks to perform to keep him occupied. > Yeah, right.

He should be able to do an evaluation and recommend either a psychiatrist or other treatment. Joy
