Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005Louis piss remediation, Day 1:
Bought a Feliway diffuser yesterday, and suspect doors are all open. No spraying incidents since then. I'm not satisfied yet that this will cure all - but it's encouraging. Took Louis to the vet today. The vet said he looked ridiculously healthy, and got a urine sample. Sample looked fine, so we can rule out any urinary tract distress. (it's so nice to have all the vets and vet assistants swooning over how beautiful and well-behaved your kitty is) He did bring up a sort of pet theory he's been attracted to lately - which is that cats in distress will sprout nodules in their unrinary tract that cause them to pee inappropriately. He's had success with treating these cats with anti-depressants to calm them down. Interesting possibility. At any rate, if this is stress-related, I'm hopeful that the diffusers will help. Notwithstanding Mary's crack-pipe hallucinations.

Go here to look stuff up, you just type the word in the box: http://dictionary.reference.com/ I always thought of the meaning as "a very stupid, crass, ham-handed, heavy-footed, loud-mouthed idiot" but in fact, your question led me to look it up and the meanings are fascinating. It actually refers to a physical condition, and I had no idea about that. Live and learn. :) > Bought a Feliway diffuser yesterday, and suspect doors are all open. > No spraying incidents since then.

Cats under stress have been known to pee inappropriately for a long time and the use of Elavil to correct it has been used also. One theory is that it creates an interstitial cystitis-like condition in the bladder where the lining is not functioning properly. Elavil is also used to treat humans with IC. > At any rate, if this is stress-related, I'm hopeful that the diffusers > will help. Notwithstanding Mary's crack-pipe hallucinations.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > of the best medical colleges in the country, this draws lots of money, > Richmond is saturated with old money. It's an acquired taste, Barry. I like the dirt. I love the old shoe feel of some of the old east-coast cities. I dislike shiny yuppified suburbs. (So what am I doing in Raleigh, you ask? Hahaha. I can't tell you.) I also hate modern looking cities, but will put up with them if the people are neat. Or if there are people from all over the world. To like Richmond, like any other place, you have to understand it. Now, Baltimore I actually do not like. It's sort of the same but there, unlike Richmond, there is a very strong anti-intellectual quality. A glorification of ignorance, if you will. And, though it is old, I really cannot stand Charleston, because for all its beauty it is essentially brain dead. When they have the Spoleto festival every year, the more interesting avant garde music or art gets these hilarious reviews--hilarious because the reviewer is so completely ignorant, yet often a local professor. I do love Charleston food--and Baltimore seafood! In the end, I celebrate the diversity of all our very different cities, worldwide. I hope it all never blends into the suburbs. >Now, >Baltimore I actually do not like. It's sort of the same but there, unlike >Richmond, there is a very strong anti-intellectual quality.

I'm talking about the Baltimore outside the universities. Highlandtown comes to mind. There is a huge blue collar presence, which is fine. I am not a snob. However, it comes with an ingrained sneering at what the ignorant often call "book learning" and a glorification of underachievement. In my experience growing up in DC for part of my life and visiting there a lot. You are allowed to disagree. In my experience, Hopkins and UMBC are two oases in a vast, scarred wilderness of glorified ignorance and racism. I found it to be the most racist (white to black and black to white and etc., between all the elements of society) place I have ever been. Everyone in little ethnic or religious or racial pockets squared off against one another. Of course if you live in Stoneleigh or the other old money areas, or out in the suburbs you may not see it as much. I am talking about the City of Baltimore, not the Greater Baltimore Area. And for the record, I have met many more black people I liked than white people I liked there. And, I hated DC too, but for different reasons. Different strokes. (I do not mean to define the city--just to give my impression of it. And of course there is a range of different kinds of people there.) >I found it to be the most racist (white to black and black to >white and etc., between all the elements of society) place I have ever been. >Everyone in little ethnic or religious or racial pockets squared off against >one another.

I think that the "pockets" are disappearing more and more (and I don't know when you were here last, but the gentrification of various neighborhoods and the prices the houses are bringing is getting bizarre!). My husband's family was from "pigtown" for instance, which was heavily Lithuanian, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone there anymore. I don't disagree with you that there was, and is, racial and ethnic unrest (did you ever see Barry Levinson's movie "Liberty Heights"?). I had been visiting B'more regularly since 1967, before moving here in 1979. A lot of change has happened since then. I was a city-dweller (no, not Roland Park or Guilford) until 1994, when commuting time forced us to move to the 'burbs (well, DH's commute time - mine USED to be 3 minutes!). If it weren't for that (and somewhat space for the dogs, but that's not primary), I'd move back into B'more City in a heartbeat.

I do have friends in Federal Hill and Fells Point, though, so I do know about the housing prices in the gentrified areas. I love to see the old places fixed up--but it is a shame when the RE prices go sky high! >My husband's family was from "pigtown" for instance, which > was heavily Lithuanian, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone there > anymore.

I find them so evocative, you can just feel the old stories floating around you. I just had unhappy experiences as a 20-something in Baltimore-- it is the people that made me unhappy. You know what it might be? On the whole, nerds have an easier time of it in other kinds of cities, especially in college towns like Raleigh. :) More eggheads here to commiserate with? Anyway--I did not mean to trash the whole city. Maybe I am like a jilted lover! >No, but I have been to Liberty Heights! Do I need to see the movie? Oh yeahhhhh - it's a very good movie. I like most of his movies, especially the "Baltimore" ones. They filmed the opening scene of "Tinmen" in back of my house (an old Cadillac dealership that had been vacant and is now gone). > With Govans right >next door, gunshots ringing out in the night. It was wild. Govans is next to Guilford, and it is indeed where opposites collide. It gets better, then worse, then better. A lot of change once Memorial Stadium was torn down. New housing and a new YMCA. Still, stark line of have's and have-not's. >There are so many things to love about old cities. I find them so >evocative, you can just feel the old stories floating around you. >I just had unhappy experiences as a 20-something in Baltimore-- >it is the people that made me unhappy. I understand. I know that I HATED it when I first moved in 1979 (from 'burbs of Northern NJ). I love cities, love NYC, and Baltimore seemed so damn primitive in so many ways. I think things changed a lot, not only with progress for the city, but when I bought a house (rowhouse) and I loved my neighbors/neighborhood. As much as I enjoy some privacy and space, I liked a part of having to park on the street (instead of pushing a garage door opener) and saying hello to the neighbors when we were leaving for and coming home from work. Then there was the wonderful camaraderie that got built due to living on a tiny one-way street, and having to shovel 2' of snow from the street by ourselves, or be stranded! ;-D >You know what it might be?

Anyway--I did not mean to trash >the whole city. Maybe I am like a jilted lover! LOL! More likely, you experienced B'more at a different point in your and B'more's life.

I would venture to say that you might have a better chance finding a nice large house in Baltimore than many other cities--however, it might be hard finding a nice one that is affordable in a decent section of town. >I would venture to say that you might have a better chance finding >a nice large house in Baltimore than many other cities--however, >it might be hard finding a nice one that is affordable in a decent >section of town. Prices are through the roof, and then there's the property tax (twice as high in B City as in any surrounding county), and higher car insurance, etc. "They" sure do make it hard to be a homeowner in the city. And all of the people who WORK in the city (and drive) live in the 'burbs with lower insurance. Makes no sense at all. And city residents get to pay property taxes AND have to pay for private school, since the public schools are too awful for words (on the average). My goddaughter goes to the HS for the arts, which is wonderful, but not easy to get in to!

For those who don't know Highlandtown, rent the John Waters movie "Hairspray". Hasn't changed that much since then. I used to work at a physical therapy office in Essex, so we served that side of the population. Even though I lived in the city at the time (Fells Point), it was a bit of a culture shock. I was all fancy because I had been to college and used big words and my husband had a job and wasn't trying to claim disability. Many of the people I met had no desire to make something better of themselves, go anywhere else, see other things, etc. I invited a co-worker to my house, but she wouldn't "drive in the city". I lived 10 minutes away! Race relations were tense when I was a kid in school, it was a hard time for me. Don't want to get into it, but I hope things have improved. Baltimore has really grown and changed. I don't think it's the same backwards town you remember. I lived in Fells Point, which was a great arty/music scene. Mt. Vernon and Charles Village are also hopping. Federal Hill is nice, but it's a little quieter. I really can't wait to move back. Signature-Kelly > > Janet.

I saw a lot of misery on all sides. It broke my heart. It was a great relief to move away from the Baltimore and DC area and see how others were--let's just say the racism seems less ingrained and less open elsewhere. Although those who say the most insidious form is in the south because it is so veiled and polite have a good point. (And no, Baltimore is NOT a southern city! I don't care where the Mason Dixon line is! There are some eastern MD places that are certainly sourthern, but not B-town! > Baltimore has really grown and changed.

When I was in school in Baltimore I spent hours at the Peabody Library in the rare books. Bet not many "Hollantaown" people do that! I loved how the music drifted over from the conservatory, I loved the open-air jazz cafe on the roof of one of the buildngs, and I remember a GREAT restaurant but not the name of it, near that intersection. I have heard people grumble that Mt. Vernon is now full of trannies and other "weirdos." When I heard this, I thought, "Cool! Maybe it's time to go back!" :) I have very charged feelings about Baltimore and DC. Which way they go depends on the day, you know? > I have very charged feelings about Baltimore and DC. Which way > they go depends on the day, you know? The reading room sounds very nice; a good place to find your center, or to have a field day in the playground of your mind. In Richmond, Maymont Park is a good place to get jaded. I'd go there to practice my Svengali. Maymont Park has lots of warm grassy hillsides, flowering trellises, hidden brooks, and lover's lips being kissed rain or shine. My accomplice could not resist laughter or the springtime. The place is so huge, you walk forever, you wind up hungry, hot, sweaty and bored (I mean that in the good boredom way). I never visited the Poe Museum because the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts was right around the corner. You can spend three days in the VMFA and never see it all, although they are lacking in art from the renaissance period (which is my favorite). Ah! The solace we find in like tormented minds. If you couldn't find me here, I was at the James River defying death, leaping over swift currents from rock to rock. There is an old power plant still standing down there, if you're brave you can go inside; it's really neat because the river has grown around it and through it. Once I took a date there, it was our first date. I don't know why, I never questioned this, but we ended up in a huge mud fight. From the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet we were caked in a grey clayish mud. I took her home like this.it was 2 in the morning, we sneaked ourselves in, but her Dad was standing at the top of the stairs glaring down at the two of us. There we stood two creatures made of clay, snickering and scared to move because we were drying out and coming apart on all sides except for our pompodores. > > Well I love Richmond.

I rather like Boulder =) Can't afford to live there, though, so we have a house in Longmont, which I call (not exactly affectionately) "Cowtown."

It is also true that there are icky people everywhere, and if that is all you met in a place, then that is all you know.

Was it Baltimore? From http://www.online-literature.com/poe/: "Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were itinerant actors. His father David Poe Jr. died probably in 1810 and his mother Elizabeth Hopkins Poe in 1811. Edgar was taken into the home of a Richmond merchant John Allan and brought up partly in England (1815-20), where he attended Manor School at Stoke Newington. Never legally adopted, Poe took Allan's name for his middle name." > Newington. Never legally adopted, Poe took Allan's name for his middle name."
