oh man. my roommate's cat is like, wailing again

[minxnim]

she does this constantly now. she just cries and cries and cries.

 

[ricochet]

Give her cat nip. She'll cry while having a seizure.

 

[minxnim]

she's probably on her last fucking leg now. i mean, 15 year old cats dont wail like that if they're not sick... i am insisting he take her to the vet again.

my 15 yr old house cat broke out on Friday and stayed out all nite. We were very worried.

 

[minxnim]

older cats are a handful!
i never know what to do with this cat. i feed her, she bites me. i try to pet her, she hisses at me. i leave the room, she cries until i come back, i sit in the room with her, she makes weird moaning noises... bah.

15-year-old kitties aren't long for this world.

 

[avi]

housecats can live to be 19 or 20

 

[xfer]

unless they get feline AIDS and die

 

[minxnim]

i'm scared this cat is going to die but i am even more scared that she is in a lot of pain and we don't know it!
the worst part was my roommate's girlfriend freaking out and telling him to put it to sleep this week! it made everything like intense x 1,000.

 

[avi]

housecats don't usually get the AIDS cuz they don't interact with dirty outside cats. outdoor cats are just a bad idea all around.

 

[minxnim]

thank you for saying that avi. one of my friends always says it's 'cruel' to keep a cat inside. i am like, in brooklyn? nigga please.

 

[avi]

I can't imagine letting my animals roam free like that. Even if I didn't live on a busy street like I do - there's just too many things to worry about.

 

[xfer]

well, growing up in suburban CT, the kitties did ok outside, until my precious Cleo had to sleep around and ended up with THE AIDS.

 

[minxnim]

yea when i lived in the sticks on a commune my irish setter Gabe ran free and he was totally okay.
but where my parents live now, rita can't run loose.
i once hit a cat with my car. it ruined my entire summer. i had nightmares about it and couldn't stop crying for days.

 

[minxnim]

fuck! i just realized i really need a digital camera so i can take pics of magic before she dies because she might die!

 

[xfer]

seriously, preppy. wishlist.

 

[azal]

dude, if your cats name is magic, I'm pretty sure it has aids.

 

[minxnim]

it's not my fucking cat so i didn't name it! i never give pets names that i wouldn't also name a human.

 

[azal]

well, if the cat's owner is wealthy enough, I'm sure there's a cure.

 

[minxnim]

he was like, 4 when he named the cat.

anyway, i wouldnt even know what camera to pick i know nothing about them. and no one is ever going to buy it anyway so it'd be a huge waste of my e-time.
