davidd31415 - 27 Aug 2005 23:12 GMT Either not many people have had their cats sneeze in the long term or my subject line of "Achoo Achoo Achoo" didn't convince many people to read the message...
Just wanted to double-check here, since my previous message about biting received so many responses. My cat has been sneezing for about a month, has had two trips to the vet, has been on two different medications (nose drops and an anti-biotic (amoxacilin)) and continues to sneeze. I'm just looking for anyone who has had similar experiences with their cat. Has anyone else had a cat that has sneezed for a long time? Should I keep taking him to the vet and throwing money at this every two weeks until I can not afford kitty litter anymore?
Any information would be great!
BTW, he appears to be in great health at 1 years old; running, playing, eating, drinking, using the litterbox... Except for the occasional sneeze he seems to be doing fine but I just haven't heard of mnany other cases of long-term sneezing and read that the sneezing can lead to serious bacterial infections.
Thanks,
David.
tsr3 - 28 Aug 2005 00:46 GMT David--our cat, Bart, is approximately 11 years old--and he has been sneezing for years. He has been on antibiotics, and is currently on Clavimox (liquid) plus an antihistamine that we rub on his ear flap (we can't pill this cat).
Last couple of days he seems to be doing much better--he isn't getting into so many sneezing jags.
Like your cat, Bart does not have watery eyes--and is very active and playful. I think he probably has allergies.
Have the vet perscribe an antihistamine along with the antibiotic.--becky

Okay, so perhaps he is not quite that bad, but he does bite. He's a year old, indoor, neutered American Shorthair and I love him so, but he
bites. I'm okay with him biting if I invade his space; I understand that if he doesn't want to be petted that I should just stay away. He terrorizes my fiancee though. We were living together when we got him so it is not like he is responding to a new element in his territory.
The problem is that we can both be ignoring him and he will do this: he
will sit a few feet from her and then just attack and dig in with his teeth. Sometime she will be pull her hands away and cower away from him, but he still does it. It's unprovoked and I'm wondering if anyone
has advice on what we might do to calm this cat (he is neutered).
Thanks,
David.

Subject: Re: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat
Hmmm... I just tried to wrestle him... He got a pretty good chunk of skin out of my hand... Getting blood all over the keyboard now. He does look satisfied though. Really... I have two ways to stop the teeth from getting my hands when we're playing:
1. Put my hand around his neck (from the front) and keep it close enough so that my fingers are under his chin. Problem is that this feels a bit too tight and I am scared that if he squirms too much I'll end up squeezing his neck, causing him to squirm more, making the squeeze seriously injure him... He used to have to undergo a similar procedure when his front claws were getting clipped (we've since worked
out a two-person method of clipping his claws that keeps him relatively
free- distraction).
2. Put my hand through a thick blanket and let him dig into that. I've tried grabbing the back of his head but he puts up too much of a fight and I don't feel comfortable holding his head with that much tossing and pulling... I'd hate for his neck to get hurt.
Thanks for all the suggestions though everyone. He has been looking more like he is walking on thin ice when he goes in for an attack now than he did a week ago. Now he doesn't send out 30 seconds of "I'm about to try to eat you" before sinking his teeth in; it's more of a suprise attack lately.
Newsgroups: alt.cats From: "davidd31415" <davidd31...@yahoo.com> Date: 16 Jul 2005 01:07:33 -0700 Subject: Re: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat
Thank you for the replies everyone! I have heard the "love nibbles" remark before and I do think Buddy (my cat) does love nibble from time to time and sometimes his bites are for play, but I believe these attacks he does to Jen are a bit different. If she tries to play with him with a toy, stick, string, or anything else, he still focuses on biting her, ears back and tail wagging like a happy puppy (not good signs of course)
It seems like a dominance issue and no amount of sound seems to affect it (crying or yelling). He often opens wide and tries to grab a hand with both paws before sinking his teeth in when one approaches to flick
his nose (the nose flicking was attempted in the past) so it has been difficult to find a solution here.
We've been scared to wack him on the head or the butt (he had an FHO on
a hind leg about 6 months ago) in the past but have tried finding the degree of head wack that gets his attention over the last couple of days. He has still been going in for at least one or two good bites each day, but I think he is getting the point. Please let me know if this sounds like something that is dangerous to him... We're not hitting him with all out force by any means; the reason I think it is probably safe is because I'm sure he hits his head much harder himself when running into things or miscalculating a daring jump.
I hope this is something that comes to a conclusion soon; him nibbling my toes, although painful, does not bother me all that much, but when he's drawing blood things are going too far. For the most part he is a
playful, cuddly, head-rubbing (sebumming), adorable furball. If anyone
is home he is usually within feet and I guess my biggest fear is making
him so scared of us that he won't come around like this in the future.
I'll update the thread next week!
Thanks again,
David
Newsgroups: alt.cats From: Lawana Quest <Law...@shaw.ca> Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 04:47:14 GMT Subject: Pulling out fur: neurotic, or what?!
I need some help and advice *desperately*!
My 2 1/2 yr. old Seal-point Siamese, Minx, is absolutely miserable, and
after 4 visits, the vet still hasn't figured out what's wrong with her... I'm hoping someone here will recognize these symptoms...
Short story, there are 3 problems: (1) she's pulling out all her fur, although her skin is in perfect condition - no marks or anything, so we don't think it's an allergy or fungus or anything.
(2) she's a miserable b***h (if you know what I mean), and even though she *had* settled in very nicely with the new kitten, playing, chasing and bathing him, she's now just nasty to him and the dog. Growling and
screaming at them if they come anywhere near her, doing this weird sneezing/snorting/schnuffling thing, and just generally a severe grumpy-puss - no fun to be around at all. (she's usually a very sweet little cat :-(
(3) this weird sneezing/snorting thing - the vet doesn't think it's anything to worry about, but it's bothering me. She seems to do it mostly when the kitten or dog gets close and p's her off, but I've heard her suddenly go into a sneezing fit for seemingly no reason, when she's
all alone sleeping - and occasionally after a sneezing fit I notice her
nose is wet...
Personally, I think she's become neurotic, so for those who are still with me, here's the long story:
Sept. 25 - I took her to the vet (oh, the trauma!) to get her yearly booster, but because she had a bit of an eye infection, and was sneezing some, the vet said to clear that up first, then bring her back for her shot. I spent a week chasing and catching her twice a day to give her
eye-gel and liquid anti-biotics, which is the most traumatic thing she's ever been through (I'm not kidding, I've had many cats in my time, but NO ONE has been as upset and purely terrorized as she has when I have to give her her meds - it's like I'm murdering her). In this time, she became *very* unsociable and grumpy, hiding under the bed, and afraid to come out lest I catch her to give her meds.
Oct.10 - I took her back to the vet (trip #2) after her eye cleared up (the sneezing never really did), and believe me, the 20 min car ride each way did not help with her trauma. So she got her booster shot, and he told me the sneezing was nothing to worry about, she had no upper-respiratory problems and her lungs were clear. I was horrified to find, a couple of hours after we got home, that she had chewed a bare patch of fur from her right 'forearm'. She had NOT been outside, and there was nothing she could have gotten into, so I figured she was just
so traumatized that she chewed it off...
Oct.15 - It was a much bigger bare patch (maybe 3" up her 'arm'), and she'd become such a nasty and unsociable beast, so I boxed her up (more trauma), and took her back to the vet (trip #3). I told him I really thought she was being neurotic, and if he could just give her a shot of valium or something, and let her have some time off with no chasing and no meds, that she'd get back to normal. He disagreed, believed she somehow got something on her arm, went overboard licking it clean, and licked all the fur off. He gave her a shot of anti-allergy something-or-other, and gave me more antibiotics to torment her with twice a day for TEN MORE DAYS!!! (although 15 ml only lasted 7 1/2 days, not enough for 10)
So of course, the next week was absolute hell for us both, and in that time, she started pulling the fur out of her back and sides. I was determined to give her every drop of her medicine, regardless of how upset she got, but by the end of the week, she was no better, and was just such a miserable wench, the whole household was cringing in fear of her wrath.
So I chased/caught/boxed her up again for the 4th trip to the vet (Oct.24), and this time he agreed that I may be right and she may just be neurotic. So he prescribed liquid PROZAC (fluoxetine) - I'm not kidding, I had to get it from my own pharmacy - and he told me I have to give her .75 ml once a day for SIXTY DAYS! I only bought a 10-day dose
though, because I just can't see traumatizing her for 60 days...
The first time I gave her the Prozac, it was even worse than the other meds - she FREAKED OUT, and was foaming at the mouth, moaning, and it was just horrible. I cried. However, the next morning, for the first time in *weeks*, she crawled into bed with me. I thought, as long as she was getting a little more sociable, I'm not going to continue traumatizing her by chasing her and giving her this stuff, so I stopped
the Prozac and observed.
Although she was no longer hiding under the bed and was coming out of her basket to visit us every once in a while, she was still a growling nasty snaggle-puss - so after 4 days off, I gave her the Prozac 2 more days in a row... She hasn't had any since Oct.31st, so has had 4 days off it.
Right now, as I'm typing this, for the first time in WEEKS, she's on the bed with the kitten playing with him, although she's being VERY loud and b**chy, she's actually playing, and allowing him to grab her tail. This warms the cockles of my heart, it really does, but the thing is, she's still pulling out her fur, and still unpleasant to listen to. She's also still 'sneezing' but it's a weird sneezing/snorting/schnuffling noise, and she mostly does it when she's mad and is growling and complaining about the kitten or dog getting too close.
So after this very long story (thanks to all of those who are still with me :-) I'd like to know:
(a) if anyone has ever had a similar problem, and if so, how you handled it, and
(b) if you think I should take her back to the vet a 5th time (risk traumatizing her further and going back to square one) to see what he says about the fur-pulling and weird sneezing.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read all of this, I know it's long, but I do love my fur-babies, and I'm hoping there's someone out there who can help us!!!

Kitty likes to wrestle. The blankets have stopped him from biting skin too! In the morning he paws at the bedroom blankets until something wrestles him. After about five minutes of wrestling, it's a few minutes of fetch, and then a nap on my pillow.
He's not terrorized like the kitty in the post you've copied though. I've seen how kitties that pull their hair out are seriously stressed.
Very impressive amount of time you wasted copying my other post though!

My dog, Dasie, Loves to chase chameleons around the barbecue on the patio. I used this system on four different occasions.
When she went out today, she looked everywhere else but the barbecue.
Amazing, just amazing.
I will write to Amanda about the video.
I am really excited to learn more, and understand. Maybe just a little reassurance that I am going about it the right way.

It's possible to teach a dog not to eat out of a cat bowl without too much difficulty.
My dogs don't touch the food in the cat bowls although Roz licks up any bits that have been dropped around the bowls :-)
I used a can with stones in it to create a distraction anytime the dogs tried to eat the cats food, followed with immediate praise.
It worked a treat.
The cats bowls are down all the time, usually there is food left over but the dogs don't eat it, even if we go out and leave the dogs with access inside through a dog door.

To my mind, "naive" is believing you can terrorize a dog into good behavior. Naive is believing that people that hide behind fake names are more honest than people that use their real names.
Naive is thinking that dilettante dog breeders and amateur "trainers" like Joey (lyingdogDUMMY, j.h.) are the equal or better than those that have studied and lived by their craft for decades.
"Stupid" is believing that people do not see kindergarten level insults for what they are.
Really stupid is believing that people like Jerry Howe and Marilyn Rammell are going to just go away because you people act like fools. Why do you act like fools? I really have no idea, and I don't really care.

Okay, so perhaps he is not quite that bad, but he does bite. He's a year old, indoor, neutered American Shorthair and I love him so, but he
bites. I'm okay with him biting if I invade his space; I understand that if he doesn't want to be petted that I should just stay away. He terrorizes my fiancee though. We were living together when we got him so it is not like he is responding to a new element in his territory.
The problem is that we can both be ignoring him and he will do this: he
will sit a few feet from her and then just attack and dig in with his teeth. Sometime she will be pull her hands away and cower away from him, but he still does it. It's unprovoked and I'm wondering if anyone
has advice on what we might do to calm this cat (he is neutered).
Thanks,
David.

Subject: Re: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat
Hmmm... I just tried to wrestle him... He got a pretty good chunk of skin out of my hand... Getting blood all over the keyboard now. He does look satisfied though. Really... I have two ways to stop the teeth from getting my hands when we're playing:
1. Put my hand around his neck (from the front) and keep it close enough so that my fingers are under his chin. Problem is that this feels a bit too tight and I am scared that if he squirms too much I'll end up squeezing his neck, causing him to squirm more, making the squeeze seriously injure him... He used to have to undergo a similar procedure when his front claws were getting clipped (we've since worked
out a two-person method of clipping his claws that keeps him relatively
free- distraction).
2. Put my hand through a thick blanket and let him dig into that. I've tried grabbing the back of his head but he puts up too much of a fight and I don't feel comfortable holding his head with that much tossing and pulling... I'd hate for his neck to get hurt.
Thanks for all the suggestions though everyone. He has been looking more like he is walking on thin ice when he goes in for an attack now than he did a week ago. Now he doesn't send out 30 seconds of "I'm about to try to eat you" before sinking his teeth in; it's more of a suprise attack lately.
Newsgroups: alt.cats From: "davidd31415" <davidd31...@yahoo.com> Date: 16 Jul 2005 01:07:33 -0700 Subject: Re: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat
Thank you for the replies everyone! I have heard the "love nibbles" remark before and I do think Buddy (my cat) does love nibble from time to time and sometimes his bites are for play, but I believe these attacks he does to Jen are a bit different. If she tries to play with him with a toy, stick, string, or anything else, he still focuses on biting her, ears back and tail wagging like a happy puppy (not good signs of course)
It seems like a dominance issue and no amount of sound seems to affect it (crying or yelling). He often opens wide and tries to grab a hand with both paws before sinking his teeth in when one approaches to flick
his nose (the nose flicking was attempted in the past) so it has been difficult to find a solution here.
We've been scared to wack him on the head or the butt (he had an FHO on
a hind leg about 6 months ago) in the past but have tried finding the degree of head wack that gets his attention over the last couple of days. He has still been going in for at least one or two good bites each day, but I think he is getting the point. Please let me know if this sounds like something that is dangerous to him... We're not hitting him with all out force by any means; the reason I think it is probably safe is because I'm sure he hits his head much harder himself when running into things or miscalculating a daring jump.
I hope this is something that comes to a conclusion soon; him nibbling my toes, although painful, does not bother me all that much, but when he's drawing blood things are going too far. For the most part he is a
playful, cuddly, head-rubbing (sebumming), adorable furball. If anyone
is home he is usually within feet and I guess my biggest fear is making
him so scared of us that he won't come around like this in the future.
I'll update the thread next week!
Thanks again,
David
Newsgroups: alt.cats From: Lawana Quest <Law...@shaw.ca> Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 04:47:14 GMT Subject: Pulling out fur: neurotic, or what?!
I need some help and advice *desperately*!
My 2 1/2 yr. old Seal-point Siamese, Minx, is absolutely miserable, and
after 4 visits, the vet still hasn't figured out what's wrong with her... I'm hoping someone here will recognize these symptoms...
Short story, there are 3 problems: (1) she's pulling out all her fur, although her skin is in perfect condition - no marks or anything, so we don't think it's an allergy or fungus or anything.
(2) she's a miserable b***h (if you know what I mean), and even though she *had* settled in very nicely with the new kitten, playing, chasing and bathing him, she's now just nasty to him and the dog. Growling and
screaming at them if they come anywhere near her, doing this weird sneezing/snorting/schnuffling thing, and just generally a severe grumpy-puss - no fun to be around at all. (she's usually a very sweet little cat :-(
(3) this weird sneezing/snorting thing - the vet doesn't think it's anything to worry about, but it's bothering me. She seems to do it mostly when the kitten or dog gets close and p's her off, but I've heard her suddenly go into a sneezing fit for seemingly no reason, when she's all alone sleeping - and occasionally after a sneezing fit I notice her
nose is wet..
Personally, I think she's become neurotic, so for those who are still with me, here's the long story:
Sept. 25 - I took her to the vet (oh, the trauma!) to get her yearly booster, but because she had a bit of an eye infection, and was sneezing some, the vet said to clear that up first, then bring her back for her shot.
I spent a week chasing and catching her twice a day to give her eye-gel and liquid anti-biotics, which is the most traumatic thing she's ever been through (I'm not kidding, I've had many cats in my time, but NO ONE has been as upset and purely terrorized as she has when I have to give her her meds - it's like I'm murdering her). In this time, she
became *very* unsociable and grumpy, hiding under the bed, and afraid to come out lest I catch her to give her meds.
Oct.10 - I took her back to the vet (trip #2) after her eye cleared up (the sneezing never really did), and believe me, the 20 min car ride each way did not help with her trauma. So she got her booster shot, and he told me the sneezing was nothing to worry about, she had no upper-respiratory problems and her lungs were clear. I was horrified to find, a couple of hours after we got home, that she had chewed a bare patch of fur from her right 'forearm'. She had NOT been outside, and there was nothing she could have gotten into, so I figured she was just
so traumatized that she chewed it off...
Oct.15 - It was a much bigger bare patch (maybe 3" up her 'arm'), and she'd become such a nasty and unsociable beast, so I boxed her up (more trauma), and took her back to the vet (trip #3). I told him I really thought she was being neurotic, and if he could just give her a shot of valium or something, and let her have some time off with no chasing and no meds, that she'd get back to normal. He disagreed, believed she somehow got something on her arm, went overboard licking it clean, and licked all the fur off. He gave her a shot of anti-allergy something-or-other, and gave me more antibiotics to torment her with twice a day for TEN MORE DAYS!!! (although 15 ml only lasted 7 1/2 days, not enough for 10)
So of course, the next week was absolute hell for us both, and in that time, she started pulling the fur out of her back and sides. I was determined to give her every drop of her medicine, regardless of how upset she got, but by the end of the week, she was no better, and was just such a miserable wench, the whole household was cringing in fear of her wrath.
So I chased/caught/boxed her up again for the 4th trip to the vet (Oct.24), and this time he agreed that I may be right and she may just be neurotic. So he prescribed liquid PROZAC (fluoxetine) - I'm not kidding, I had to get it from my own pharmacy - and he told me I have to give her .75 ml once a day for SIXTY DAYS! I only bought a 10-day dose though, because I just can't see traumatizing her for 60 days...
The first time I gave her the Prozac, it was even worse than the other meds - she FREAKED OUT, and was foaming at the mouth, moaning, and it was just horrible. I cried. However, the next morning, for the first time in *weeks*, she crawled into bed with me. I thought, as long as she was getting a little more sociable, I'm not going to continue traumatizing her by chasing her and giving her this stuff, so I stopped
the Prozac and observed.
Although she was no longer hiding under the bed and was coming out of her basket to visit us every once in a while, she was still a growling nasty snaggle-puss - so after 4 days off, I gave her the Prozac 2 more days in a row... She hasn't had any since Oct.31st, so has had 4 days off it.
Right now, as I'm typing this, for the first time in WEEKS, she's on the bed with the kitten playing with him, although she's being VERY loud and b**chy, she's actually playing, and allowing him to grab her tail. This warms the cockles of my heart, it really does, but the thing is, she's still pulling out her fur, and still unpleasant to listen to. She's also still 'sneezing' but it's a weird sneezing/snorting/schnuffling noise, and she mostly does it when she's mad and is growling and complaining about the kitten or dog getting too close.
So after this very long story (thanks to all of those who are still with me :-) I'd like to know:
(a) if anyone has ever had a similar problem, and if so, how you handled it, and
(b) if you think I should take her back to the vet a 5th time (risk traumatizing her further and going back to square one) to see what he says about the fur-pulling and weird sneezing.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read all of this, I know it's long, but I do love my fur-babies, and I'm hoping there's someone out there who can help us!!!

Perhaps the word abuse scares you, Davidd31415. Abuse doesn't have to mean you're TORTURING him or intentionally being MEAN, but you were advised to slap your kitty around to TEACH HIM MANNERS.

Dear Jerry, I paged through some of the "dog business" and was astonished at the low quality of opinions arising from professors of behavior analysis.
I had the very great privilege of meeting Sam Corson (Pavlov's last Ph.D. student) and his dogs at Ohio University. I even got to spend a night at Sam's house.
There is no question but that you are a spiritual brother to Corson and to Pavlov, both of whom knew that the dog's great capacity for love was the key to shaping doggie behavior.
Paradoxical reward and paradoxical fixing of attention are both well documented Pavlovian techniques. Even so humorless a chap as B.F. Skinner taught students like the Breland's whose "The Misbehavior of Organisms" demonstrate the utility of your methods and their deep roots in scientific (as opposed to commercial) psychology.

Scott, Jerry Howe forwarded me the letter below. I'm glad that you referred negatively to Jerry's habit of CAPITALIZING and HOWEING everything.
I personally hate this habit of his. I think it is his way of diluting his authority - IME he is a very modest fellow. However, contrary to your sneer, he is very competent at living with dogs.
I thought I'd list a series of actions which I found on the list, folk asking advice on what to do about dogs doing this and that, for example:
whining, humping, hunching, pacing, self mutilation - paw licking, side sucking, spinning, prolonged barking, barking at shadows, overstimulated barking, fighting, bullying other dogs, compulsive digging, compulsive scratching, compulsive chewing, frantic behavior, chasing light, chasing shadow, stealing food, digging in garbage can, loosing house (toilet) training. inappropriate fearfulness aggression.
The thing that is fascinating to me, as an ethologist who graduated from college 50 years ago and has spent all of the intervening time working with animals (including the human animal), is that you never see any of these behaviors in wild dingoes, jackals, coyotes or wolves, you don't even see these behaviors in hyenas (who aren't dog related).
You see these behaviors in human managed animals, especially animals who live with neurotic hysterical humans.
As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Oxford, O.) there is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving care.

NanK - 30 Aug 2005 18:16 GMT I bred show cats for 14 years and assure you that the quickest way to teach a kitty to attack you is to play attack "games" with your hands.
Make or buy appropriate toys for attack play (there are HUNDREDS on the market, and a stuffed, rolled up sock works very well) and use your hands ONLY for gentle handling, petting and treats.
Your kitty cannot tell the difference between acceptable and unacceptable demonstrations of aggression toward people, and guaranteed, as kitty gets older, you can expect a ripped ankle or torn/bitten wrist from an overexcited attack cat. What will you do then?
You are in the process of creating a problem that need NEVER exist!

Any grown cat that draws blood from me (on purpose) had better have a damn good reason (that *I* agree with) or gets a smack in the head.

As far as rough play is concerned... attack first. Give kitty the "I'm Going To Eat You!!! routine" which gives him plenty of time to figure out which way to run when you lunge. When he looks to be in an uninvited "attack mode" snap your hand out and give him a noogie.
