Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005cat ate plastic--now what?
Wendell ate a piece of a plastic streamer that came off of one of his toys. Usually he just chews on this type of thing but by the time I got into his mouth he had eaten it. He has not had a bm since. (This was Saturday night, and it's Monday at 5 a.m. now). At what point do I start to worry? He is eating normally. He spends most of his time sleeping anyway but woke up at 4 wanting to play (not weird for him). He's been crying but does that a lot, too, for attention. The crying stops when I play with him. So, he's been acting like himself. . . but what to do about that plastic streamer inside him? > Wendell ate a piece of a plastic streamer that came off of one of his > toys.

Call your vet and explain it as your have here. Kami ate many long stringy things and they always said to give her mega-doses of Petromalt and see if it came out within three day of having been ingested. Your vet's opinion may differ, but a call is definitely worth your while.  SignatureBrandy Alexandre® http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you? No, I wouldn't. I'm too old. But if you want to post naked pix of yourself and Kami and your milled ceramic teeth, I'll look at them and offer candid feedback. What is the story with that web page anyway?

Some of those chicks look like ringers, eh? I thought so too. I clicked on the link a number of times, actually, trying to navigate the site without filling out any forms etc. If Brandy gets points, great. I'm just curious about the site. Is it the web adjunct of a text-messaging system, for example?

Joe's just being his usual head up mine and his own a.s self. I don't even need karma points since I'm a premium member just because a friend of mine owns the site, hence my helping him out having it in my sig. I've explained this a number of times, but Joe likes his lies better, I guess.

You are very fortunate. I saw that one of the young ladies can't afford a premium membership, so she is having to petition the more generous patrons to buy her one. Poor thing. I shouldn't be giving you such a hard time, because your posts here are completely reasonable, but that site... yikes! I hope for your sake that your friend doesn't decide to start selling fishnet stockings and black lipstick. I also notice you and Peacemaker follow the same path from teranews/nntpserver to easynews. You're using a different client though. I guess you're both on the W. Coast.

I've been in SoCal since February on assignment. I'm a traveling profit recovery auditor. Ooo! Exciting. ;) I get to go home first week of June.

My bosses are cool. Yikers. I used to live like that, not too long ago. I was on and off airplanes all the time. Eventually I got fired for gross incompetence, overbilling, theft of office supplies and shitty attitude, but it took 'em awhile. Now I work from home. I buy my own pens and keep my attitude to myself. This week, as coincidence would have it, I am writing a marketing screed about revenue leakage. Companies must take a holistic approach, with management at all levels promoting a culture of revenue assurance. Siloed processes must be redesigned and integrated to promote transparency and accountability across the transaction cycle. Etc. etc. etc. Life on the road takes a toll, and Usenet is a good outlet for weird impulses. It's nice you have Kami with you.

She's a native SoCal cat (as am I) and has been doing better since we've been here than she was back home, save the asthma attack. Revenue leakage ain't the word. Gross incompetence in the case of this client. I mean, we were here just over a year ago and identified over $2.5 million in overpaid sales tax, duplicate payments, etc., covering a three year period. At first the A/P director was happy, but then he started to disclaim some of our findings and tried to find ways not to pay us for our collections. This trip, he said he didn't want the same team (it's my bosses. He seems to like me well enough), but the VP Tax said she only wanted us to touch her tax stuff. So one team did A/P, found virtually nothing (about $15k), and I've been doing tax (by myself, it seems). The A/P director seems not to have bothered to train his people about spotting the tax exemptions the vendors should have given after they were notified, so it's still a huge leak. Make him look like a moron, but will make the VP Tax look really good for having recovered the funds (I'm looking at about $500k for one year). As I've been doing this, it's such a shame I've identified a bunch of overpayments and cost savings areas and I "can't" do anything about it. It's not my audit. I'm just making copies so my bosses can go over A/P's head and prove what a dick he is to the Controller. Needless to say, your "screed" has merit, but how do you battle a corporate culture that seems to allow management to have their little fiefdoms and not communicate with other areas in order to solve the issues? I have never even seen this A/P director have meeting with his own people. This is one of the more poorly managed organizations I've worked in be it as a consultant or an employee, and the scary thing is it's publicly owned!

Damn. This is really weird. When I paste the whole "From" header including the "Brxxxx Alxxxxxxx" name anywhere in the post, PGP does some strange encryption to the message. It's like there's some backdoor to PGP that's triggered with Brandy's full name. Ok, Brandy, admit it! You're really working for the NSA,. Aren't you? :) OOPS! Last minute discovery......When I type "Brandy Alexandre" there seems to be no problem. But if I paste it from the headers, things go berserk. Are you doing anything unusual to your headers when you post? Particularly the "From" line. Anyway....that's why the previous post was encrypted. Just not sure who it was encrypted to.

So what did you actually write? The only thing I can think of is I may have a hard space in it (alt+0160), but that shouldn't cause any problems Beats me.

And you help yourself out some with this in the link as well "?refer=BrandyAlx". If it was to just help out your "friend" you wouldn't bother with the referral addition to the link. > I've explained this a number of times, but Joe likes his lies better, I > guess. Unfortunately, your explanations don't cut da mustard and you always end up sticking your foot in your mouth... or perhaps in your case up yer a.s. > Wendell ate a piece of a plastic streamer that came off of one of his > toys.

A) Ask about it on a newsgroup. -or- B) Seek immediate medical attention. Hint: A is the wrong answer. Correct course of action: -Seek out a vet immediately. -Check all his other toys to ensure nothing else is going to come off and be ingested. > > Wendell ate a piece of a plastic streamer that came off of one of his > > toys.
