Another trip to the ER

Brandy Alexandre - 21 Oct 2005 17:05 GMT Poor Kami, every say "awwwww." I got home yesterday and found her scrunched up under the desk and practically screaming. I thought maybe she had injured herself, but then I could see she was clamping at the tail end. And she's never done this before--ever--but she got up and squatted right there and passed two drops of bloody urine. Another infection, and a bad one. She was fine when I left that morning.
If I had come straight home I could have taken her to her own vet, but believe it or not I stopped there on my way to get a bag of k/d. There was a wait and in that amount of time I would have gone home, found her, and swept her off to the vet before they closed. Instead, we had to drive to the more expensive ER, after, of course, she tried to take off my arm for, first, touching her at all when she was so upset, and second, putting her in the carrier.
Anyway, When we got to the vet, I told them that the last time what they diagnosed as UTI was determined to be a kidney infection, and if they can't get enough urine for a sample, to treat for kidney if only because she tolerates the Baytril more than the Clavamox. I turned into one of *those* parents.
In the end, and $255 later, she got a shot of antibiotics, a shot of steroids, and sub-q. I actually asked them to do the sub-q even though it was pricey because I just didn't want to be the bad guy last night. I was concerned that we were going to have a food problem now and she would really get into trouble, but when we got home, she was a lot more comfortable and she snarfed her food.
Now I get to give her a pill everyday for two weeks. What fun. ;)

What's funny is they're purple coated, and each time she spat it out it landed in her ruff. Now she has a purple stained front. LOL!
But we got the next one in first try.

I crush Otis's tablet between two teaspoons and give it to him with just a little of his breakfast (to make sure he eats it all), then when that's gone, I give him the rest of his breakfast. His pills are apparently yeast scented which my vet assured me they like, luckily he eats it, good luck.

She knows when her food as been spiked. LOL! I will add that if people don't already know, crushing between two spoons is the simplest way to crush a tablet.
Why can't they be like dogs in this regard? You just offer a plain pill to a dog and it'll eat it.

Everyone must be brought to the same sour mood if she's in one. Because her eating is so important, I just don't like tampering with her food.
BTW, she's feeling better. Not only is she eating the whole can, but she's asking for more. Of cvourse she gets it, even when it was 4 o'clock this morning. She knows there's a small window when she's ill that she can get away with all kinds of crap.

Kami never knows what the rules are living with a Dr. Jekyll / Ms. Hyde personality.

If the CRF is caused by stress, then she certainly would not survive beyond the two year average mortality if such stress were in existence. The very fact that Kami continues to thrive in spite of her ailments lends only to the fact that she lives a pampered, stress-free life and receives only the best care.

Not quite as pampered as you would have us believe since you have flip flopped on the early morning feedings issue.
In one post you claimed you did, yet in another you claimed you didn't.
You were very clear about one thing, that you leave canned food in the bowl until it gets dry.
I can understand why you don't want your posts archived.

Yes, it's hard to hear that a cat suffered from a UTI and got instant care, as opposed to those who consult the newsgroup with idiocies like, "My cat is bunched up in the corner screaming. What do you think I should do? The vet isn't open and the ER costs three times as much."
Or would it be that because she has food issues, I've given into her asking for food in the middle of the night?
Or are you going to be another one of those beating to a bloody death the idea that before there was internet there was a declawing?
Just bite me. I come here to vent so that I don't take it out on Kami. Hold it against me. See if I care. Who are you anyway, but some dork with an internet connection?

But, no, I took the hit and was docked the session for an extra $70 on the whole tab.
Yeah, Kami is such a stressed out and abused cat, cast asude, never given first thought, never a priority, shoudl just be letting her die because, really, Friskies canned food seems good enough and is significantly cheaper.
Stop being so gullible to the trolls of the world.

She is accustomed to taking things out on Kami; in fact, she did have the cat declawed for her own convenience and has stated over and over again that she has no regrets and would do it again.
The issue is simple. Declawing a cat at any age is heinous, but even moreso at seven years old. It isn't about what "Brandy" did for a living, it is about what she did to her cat. If you are going to defend her, fine, but know what you are defending. You are apparently in favor of declawing and think it is fine to declaw a seven-year-old cat simply because you could not be bothered to train her not to scratch. You--and "Brandy"--are entitled to your opinions, of course.

You--and "Brandy"--are > entitled to your opinions, of course. Of course it is about Brandy and this is why I participate. I don't know her personally, she's just a newsgroup poster. But I do know there are and have been plenty of un-repentant declawers on this group over the years and nobody made an issue out of it unless the person was being obnoxious about it. Seems to me the only one who has been singled out for special treatment is also one with a past that people like *you* refuse to put behind you. Never since I have started posting her in the last 7 years has anyone been reamed so hard for having a declawed cat. We've had the worst breeders you can imagine on here and many of them got better treatment.
My best friend declawed her cat against my wishes. What can I do about it? That was 7 years ago. I pitched a fit and she did it anyway. I had to move on, if we were to remain friends because nothing was going to change it. None of my cats are declawed, never will be either. No cat I ever have will be declawed. So for you to say that because I defended a person against unrelated and hypocritical attacks that somehow I am in favor of declawing is every bit as asinine and stupid as everything else being said on these threads.
So yes, it is about Brandy because I have never seen this kind of thing on this group in the years I have been coming here. And I'll bet you that Joe has seen her work plenty and probably enjoyed it shall we say to it's full conclusion. That's what makes me annoyed enough to post - it's all just so much self-righteous hypocrisy. And it has exactly nothing to do with her cat.

:::giggle::: How is venting about Kami on the newsgroup creating stress in Kami's life? It's not easy to care for a sick and elderly animal. Some things just bug me, and I mention them to vent. It's fanatics like Joe who like to make up entire backstories and state them as fact, and I see the poor ng sheep picking them up and quoting them as fact. That's his goal--to manipulate others to his personal little war. I'm hated by some for things based in someone else's delusions! LOL!

That's what happen when you had her declawed- you probably threw a coke-induced tantrum and declawed her out of revenge- that's your mentality.
And some people wonder why I think you're a piece of sh.t. The fact that you're a coke-whore really isn't the reason.

You see, that is one of the reasons why you are not credible... you keep changing your story with respect to the well-being of Kami.
Quoted above, you say she isn't fed during the wee hours of the morning, yet in the post quoted below you tried to make us all believe you *regularly* get up in the wee hours of the morning to feed Kami.
About the only thing that happens with regularity here is you tripping over yourself in attempts to redeem your credibility when you are tripped up.
It seems *you* are the fool.

A UTI has nothing to do with it. It damn sure does, bimbo. Hematuria (blood in the urine) and/or dysuria (difficulty passing urine) and/or stranguria (difficult and painful discharge of urine) sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain are *classic* symptoms of interstitial cystitis- *not* a UTI - moron. The *only* way a UTI can be definitively diagnosed is by microscopic examination of the urine sediment followed by bacterial culture of the urine. I seriously doubt your incompetent and clueless vet even knows how to culture urine- or would bother even if by some remote chance he did know how. The vast majority of cats have no clinically observable signs *whatsoever* when they have UTI.
You declawed Kami when she was *7 years old* after having her claws for half of her lifetime. Did you even bother to stop and think about the confusion she must feel when she thinks she extends her claws to grip or balance but all of a sudden couldn't? She doesn't know what happened- or why- and that affects her confidence and security- and that causes *stress*. Stress is the *leading* cause of exacerbation of symptoms of feline interstitial cystitis- the *exact* symptoms you described. Instead of tramping around in the porn and gossip newsgroup- do a little research on FIC.
You *yourself* said her biting *increased* and her behavior got worse after you declawed her. Gee, now what causes behavioral problems to get worse in cats? I know you don't have a clue. Its stress- you moronic bimbo. Stress in cats is manifested by behavioral *and* physical disorders- *especially* urinary tract disorders. So, yes, a.shole- declawing *does* have a lot to do with her symptoms *and* behavior- not to mention the stress caused by your drug-induced tantrums.
Who are you trying to convince with all your anecdotal cat stories that you're such a 'loving' and 'caring' cat owner ? Us or yourself? You sure have some people fooled.

And probably a lot of other people, too, who just don't want to get into a flame war with an amoral coke whore who abuses her cat. And I say "amoral" in the sense that she declawed her cat without any regrets because some bimbo make up artist complained about scratches- not because she's a coke whore.
She tries to come off like a loving cat owner who spoils her cat when in reality, the cat has probably been living in hell. The cat is probably a nervous wreak and never knows what to expect from the a.shole. Her psychotic drug-induced tantrums are probably the cause of the cat's behavioral and certain medical problems in the first place. Then, she probably forced herself on her cat because the cat was probably afraid to come near her- not knowing what to expect- a slap, kick or pet.
People who've been working in rescue and adoptions for a long time develop a sixth sense and pick up subtle hints about how people treat animals that other people miss.

> Hmm, and it wasn't all that long ago she was without an Internet > connection for a period of time... so there was no place to vent. She also recently began administering fluid therapy to her cat, and shortly after, her cat developed a type of urinary tract disorder that's usually unmasked or exacerbated by stress. Coincidence? or did she vent her anger and frustration from having to give her cat fluids on Kami? My guess is the latter.

That statement *was* rather chilling. What could a cat possibly do that someone would want to "take it out on" his/her fur-baby?
I've had Bandit puke up a hairball on a brand new $600 quilt (I should have known better than to buy a pastel colored quilt). I wiped it up, threw a pillow over the stain, and cuddled my baby to make her feel better.
Bandit bit me down into the joint of my finger when the vet frightened her. I took antibiotics for a week and needed a tetanus shot that caused my arm to swell and itch for 3 weeks. I cuddled my baby to reassure her that she would be OK after her ordeal at the vet.
I've had Sammy scratch my ear, neck and *nipple* when she got scared by a loud noise and tried to climb me. I blotted the blood and cuddled my baby to make her feel safe.
I've had Jessie put a row of "pulls" in a 3-month-old sofa. I put the scratching post next to the sofa, put catnip on it and showed her how to use it by demonstrating scratching (to the delight of my husband to still teases me about sharpening my claws).
I've had Demi jump up on the dining room table to chow down on a Thanksgiving turkey that was set out to cool before carving. I carved a big hunk out of the eaten part, diced it up for all the kitties and we ate what was left!
If you're upset by the things that cats do just because they're cats, then buy a stuffed animal instead of adopting a cat!

Well, now, CN, you've really done it. Paul is going to tell you that you have an obsession with Brandy now. Because she was a porn prop. Because it just cannot be the way she treats her cat that bothers you. Because she was a porn prop. Understand? If you object to this or to the declawing, you either hate her because you are a prude or you WANT her. Sheesh. What would you and Joe do without me and Paul to straighten you out?

I'm willing to wager you know plenty of people who have declawed cats. So what do you intend to do about it? Firebomb their houses? Maybe cut their brake lines? What?
You are engaging in a purely prurient pleasure. Probably don't have to dig very deep to find some heinous acts in your past - people who pontificate like you do are always the most guilty. It is always the fog of noise that is used to hide the worst of crimes.

Nope. :) He's blinded by her illustrious background. The Romance of the porn world has Paul by the short hairs: therefore it does not matter WHAT "Brandy" does to her cat.

We may be all of those things, but disliking a person who declawed a 7-year-old cat, does not regret it, and who threatens to "take things out" on a sick old cat is reasonable regardless of her background. Period. The rest, like "Brandy's" former livlihood, is beside the point.

This is a purely speculative statement in response to my very clear analysis of the invalidity of your argument that Joe's objection to Brandy has anything at all to do with anything but the way she treats her cat.

> Declawing a cat is wrong. But it's done and nothing can change it. Agreed, however it doesn't seem to matter how much "Brandy" is educated in this group I suspect she would have a pet declawed once again in a heartbeat.
Interestingly enough, when "Brandy" started participating in this group she commented shortly afterwards that she didn't find the group as informative as she hoped it would be... a rather inflammatory statement if nothing else.
> And > nobody here, Brandy, you or anyone, has to beg for forgiveness especially > when her previous career has been made the center of the criticism. While I have commented on her "career", my objection here has been her pseudo displays of caring for her cat that have been very tempered by comments that she continues to post on a regular basis in here such as the following:
"Just bite me. I come here to vent so that I don't take it out on Kami. Hold it against me. See if I care. Who are you anyway, but some dork with an internet connection?"
I've also seen her comments on children. Yes, not everyone likes kids... however it has often been said that having a cat in the house is like have a child permamentely stuck at the age of 5.
Given all this it would seem her dislike for kids spills over somewhat to pets as well, given that she feels the need to vent on the 'net to avoid taking it out on Kami. This also implies that it has been taken out on Kami.

I once posted about how my new cat was driving me up the freaking wall. Venting here made it easier to not lock the little guy in my bedroom, which would have been "taking it out on him." BTW, we get along just great now and I wouldn't trade him for the world. Cats can try your patience every bit as much as kids do. And I often hear parents using the EXACT SAME phrase regarding their own kids. Just go to any of the parenting groups and you'll see what I mean. What are you going to do about that?

cybercat - 26 Oct 2005 22:12 GMT > > [snip] > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > A personal opinion. Is there nothing you can deal with? He's "dealing." He is discussing with you. What else is he supposed to be doing? Note that I did not say, "What you want is for Joe to fold and tell you that you're right, when he does not agree." But of course I cannot know what you "want."
All that can be logically deduced from your comments here is that you object to those of us who object to people who declaw and otherwise abuse their cats, then portray themselves here as cat lover. And you have that right, just as we have the right to still object to said "people," aka, Brandy. And by the way, there is another a.shole with the same philosophy, who declawed THREE kittens at once, announced it here, and announced that he did not want to hear any criticism. When he comes around, I point out that he did indeed do that, knowing full and well that declawing is mutilation, and that I therefore doubt that he is much of a cat lover, especially since his cats come after his upholstery. As far as I know, Carl was not a porn prop. Still, even if he were a lawyer, the mere fact that he has behaved as he has toward his cats is enough for me to conclude that he is a cat abuser and therefore not a "cat lover. As with Brandy, Carl's profession, were he a lawyer, might disgust me just as much as the pr0n industry disgusts others, but it would be simply ANOTHER disgusting thing he does, in addition to declawing cats, and hence, beside the point.
Any questions?

Paul
cybercat - 26 Oct 2005 22:50 GMT > > > > [snip] > > > > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > any questions? Sure. Where did I claim not to be judgemental?
I judge things and people all the time. That is not the issue that has been raised.
(I used the term "porn prop" because I just do not think "porn star" is appropriate, and I don't see what the folks in the f.ck films do as actual acting. That is my opinion. Judgmental? You bet. But it is beside the point as what we are discussing here is whether or not a cat lover is justified in stating that "Brandy" is not a cat lover based upon the brutal acts she has committed upon her poor cat. I think one is, and you appear to be arguing that one is not--that, instead, her former career is what people are *really* objecting to.)
All I said in relation to this current discussion, was, once again, since you have not yet comprehended it, that what Brandy has told us she has done to her cat is enough grounds to find her disgusting. Therefore your claim that Joe and I and others who object to her portrayal of herself as someone who loves cats do so because of the way she used to make her living, is false. That might be ANOTHER reason to find her disgusting, but how she treats her cat is reason enough.
Anything else? I can do this for days on end. :) I really like a rousing debate. Nothing personal, of course.

> I'd really like to see what kind of attacks they can promote against my > being a forensic accountant/private auditor/treasure hunter/whatever. An animal abusing piece of sh.t by any other name is still an animal abusing piece of sh.t. Whatever you want you call yourself, you're still an animal abusing piece of sh.t because you declawed your cat for a behavior problem that *you* created and encouraged. You accept no responsibility and feel no remorse. Its also obvious, by your own words, that you take your anger and frustrations out on your cat. That clearly explains why your cat is neurotic.
You don't know enough about feline behavior, psychology and emotions to try to conjure up bullshit explanations for your cat's behavior problems.

You are hurting yourself now and

Why do you think she has the need to post messages about all the 'wonderful' things she does for her cat?

I've been in rescue and adoption long enough to spot a a real cat lover when I see one- and she's is a long way from it. Only one person got over on me in the six years I've been reading newsgroups- and that made me scrutinize posters even more carefully.

He sent his message to me in confidence. I was just kidding. I would never ask you to forward me an email. Or, if I did, I sure wouldn't do it in the group. :)

No surprise you did not respond to the previous opportunity for you to post something about your present credentials and move beyond your past.
It strikes me that *you* are focusing a lot on old issues and your past since you continue to use the pseudo name that is from your distant past and a former "career".
It is your choice as to which name you post under, no one here forces you to use that. And, as if it wasn't enough to post your pseudo name in the "From:" line you also make sure to include it as a signature... just in case someone missed the "From:" line along with a link to a site where you rack up points each time someone clicks on it.
And so your whining and complaining about people bringing up your past strikes me as rather pathetic since you *can* do something about that, yet seemingly refuse to.

Now, Joe. If you keep advancing valid arguments, the Email Task Force is going to have to email everyone and tell them that you are a Big Bad Troll.

Perhaps at that point they might figure out that it can mean a myriad of things, but with this crowd... not very likely. Good point about parenting groups. There are similar set-ups for primary care givers. Kami falls into both groups, actually. I don't spank her, yell at her, lock her in the bathroom, withhold affection or treats. I just come her and post an ARGH!!! And Kami plops down within her three foot radius of where I am at the computer or looks up saying, "Pick me up so I can get in the way." And then I do!

That is > what you want. Now you are a mind reader. There is no way you could know "what I want." I want nothing from Brandy. However, when she goes on about how she is a Cat Magnet because she Loves Cats So Much I will continue to point out that her self-professed behavior toward her cats indicated otherwise. Because it is true.
