My cat was losing patches of fur and there were these horrible scabs on her skin where the patches were. I took her to the vet cause I thought she was suffering from mange, but it turned out she was over grooming herself also cause of a flea allergy. Luckily we were able to get it taken care of and it hasn’t happened to her since.
Here is a link to Georgia’s Instagram. Baby pictures of the Boys. Thought I would post it before the Twitter link at the bottom of the page is replaced by a link to today’s strip.
Your Honor, ladies and gentlecats of the jury, Puck’s first statement is strictly about something he has observed first hand. The second and third statements contain general information about a possible solution for problem that affects quite a few cats as exhibited in the comments section of Breaking Cat News for Wednesday, January 28, 2021. The cat in the drawing is a gray, striped tabby; whereas. Elvis is Siamese. The sample sweater isn’t even the same color as the one Elvis is wearing. There is nothing to indicate that confidential medical information was obtained by the defendant. Furthermore, your Honor, I’d like to submit exhibit 101 as proof that Puck has been in the vet’s office along with Elvis during examinations; thus Elvis has no expectation of privacy.
Being a Canuck it’s difficult to figure out what the United States acronyms mean. Thank you for information. My condolences for Emerson. Hugs to you & yours.
I think sometimes HIPAA is carried a little too far. I worked in the kitchen of a nursing home. One day a long time resident was whisked away to the hospital. A day or two later I asked if anyone had heard how Flo was doing. Well, you’d have thought I was working for the Russians. My boss said it was a violation to ask questions about a resident. I said that I had known Flo for several years and it’s a sad thing that caring is not allowed. He agreed but said that’s the way it is.
One of my mom’s cats had that issue for awhile. The shirt method didn’t work. He’d be out of that thing in less than 5 minutes. Can’t recall what she did, but he eventually got over it.
My Angel sometimes over-scritches herself; when she does this, it’s usually on the spot between her shoulders. Then it scabs, the scab itches, and the cycle is set up.
I had her live in a pretty pink leather harness (with rhinestones!) for a while, to get past a nasty spot.
I’ve also found that a bit of topical A&D ointment helps the skin heal, too.
As I was getting my breakfast this morning, I heard yowling out on my porch. When I opened the door, there was an orange and white cat on my porch and I caught sight of the tail of a gray cat heading out through the front “door” to my porch (I have a half finished enclosed porch and there is a place for a door on the front while the back is completely open).
Since the orange and white kitty stuck around, I put some food out for him. He let me pet him after I filled the dish. This kitty looks a lot like Visitor, except he’s orange instead of a gray tabby.
Instead of “Elvis” in the first panel if one were to say “Some cats” you’d be safe. The use of a non-colourpoint cat in the drawing is also good in keeping with HIPPA. We had a cat who was always licking a paw and brushing/cleaning over his left ear to the extent that soon the fur was gone and the skin was ribbed raw. A small “cone of shame” for a few (5) weeks put an end to that. Just don’t talk to me about the Manx rescue.
Back to conversation of yesterday: comment on coffee, regarding reflux – A hiatal hernia is one thing; some stomach protruding into the esophagus because of a weak sphincter muscle. It will indeed give you reflux and that wonderful bile flavor. But a comment on coffee drinking – even a healthy sphincter will be affected by coffee. A very good gastro-doc gave me a simple idea to remember: the acid in coffee isn’t initially what gets you. The caffeine in the coffee will loosen your sphincter and the acid then will have free reign to come up into the esophagus and burn. Cut down on the caffeine, reduce the acid that can come up. I now drink no more than 3-4 cups a day, and those are half-caff, or decaf (don’t like the taste of decaf). Having the head of the bed raised is good too, but watch the caffeine! Get better, Georgia, we all need you.

Maybe Elvis would be happier with a more fashionable sweater…..just sayin’…..the “big boy” sweater just doesn’t cut it.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Beatrixia, have you seen Elvis-Anum lately?
Beatrixia: He’s been in his chamber all day. I’m afraid he has the groomies again.
The Queen: Oh dear, he could be at that for days. And it really makes him feel sore.
Beatrixia: I have a suggestion.
Sometime later
The Queen: Royal courtiers, tonight I have *declared a banquet to be served. Please come in your best finery.
Elvis-Anum: But I haven’t a thing to wear.
The Queen: That is alright. I’m sure Sophititi and Maat-Tilda can prepare for a lovely outfit.
At the banquet
The Queen: You all look splendid. I am proud of you all. Tonight we celebrate a special occasion. Thomios, bring in the surprise.
Puckmosis: You did it! You and Trevor were successful!
Trevor-Hotep: Yep, here is our first pizza tree. Mangia!
