I don't know if this thread ever got around to answering the question, but I
think the snot is a result of an allergy to something on the side of the
road. Certain times of year, I head out on the bike and can't even see
straight, let alone breathe. (My nose gets completely stuffed and my eyes
get all watery.) It seems to be when all the trees are in bloom.

I remember reading Tyler Hamilton's column inVelonews, and he was describing
the allergy season in spain and how it affects him. He said sometimes it was
like trying to breathe through a straw. LOL.

I produce weird amounts of snot in all conditions at all times of the
year when I ride hard. I don't regard this as a major debility. Coping
is a bit like kissing: you just close one nostril and blow.

So do horses. And y'know when they make that blowing-through-
flappy-lips sound? That's them sneezing. Horses sneeze a lot.

I like horses too. You know if you are friendly with a horse and "huff"
from your nostrils into his he will react vigorously and affectionately
(but likely kind of rough) ?? It means a lot to the horse. Try it.
You may form a new and special friendship. No joke.

I guess it's better than blowing in the end where
you're likely to get kicked :)

Actually I find best not to befriend critters too much,
or else they'll never leave me alone. Already I've got a
skunk who pays me regular nocturnal visits in the back
yard. So, there's another social obligation i'm stuck with.
Skunks are kinda like girlfriends, in that ya don't dare
**** them off. She's very fond of taco chips (I think it's
the salt she likes), and has an obsession with the aromas
emanating from my shoes. She looks pregnant. Maybe some
day I'll get to meet the family.

I have a recurring nightmare where overly-affectionate sea
lions crowd me off a wharf. I think it all began when I,
as an infant, was humourously cast in the midst of a
puppy litter and got licked & tickled to death. And also
was adopted by my mom's old nulliparous cat (Trixie). I
wasn't a real kitten, but I guess she figured I'd have
to do. So now I'm fluent in Cat.

Animals sure know a soft touch when they see one, better
even than panhandlers. But I think usually they just want
somebody to listen to them and take them seriously, without
condescension or prejudice.


cheers,
Tom

Gives a whole new meaning to "nocturnal emission".

>to do. So now I'm fluent in Cat.

If my 19 year old, ailing cat was saying anything, I'd record it and
send you a .wav for translation. I left her at the animal hospital
this afternoon. :(

19 years is certainly an old, long, and dear friendship.

You don't really need translations because, as you know,
cats are telepathic anyway.

It certainly is. She occupies some of my earliest memories.

Which direction? I wish she'd tell me what's wrong, and I wish I
could tell her that she needs to eat and drink, and that she needs
to have some patience while we get her fixed up.

I have had sometime luck getting cats to hydrate by putting
water in a fresh empty tuna can.

They will also usually swallow any liquid food you squirt down
their throat with a dropper. We had a cat injured around Christmas
time a few years back and ended up feeding him with a baster,
blendered cooked goose liver and egg yolk. It sure puts weight on
em! We could tell he was better when he learned to sit up on
his hind legs for basting.

Rick - if you go over to rec.pets.cats.anecdotes, it's a very friendly &
welcoming group and if you put a post there with the details of your cats, you
may get some useful information back quite quickly.

In the meantime, good wishes are heading her way across the cyberaether. On the
advice of my vet, when one of my cats was ill & off her food, I gently poached
a skinned & boneless chicken breast. I boiled some plain long grain rice. I
then minced up equal quantities of rice & chicken in a blender, with some of
the cooking water from the chicken, until a soft paste was formed. My cat would
eat that in small quantites - little & often. No salt - as that can dehydrate.
Another thing which might help is you can get dried "milk" from a pet food
store that is what is used to make up formula suitable for kittens & puppies
(it's had the bit of cows' milk removed that can make cats & dogs have the runs
& upset stomach). That can be made up as directed and dropper fed to the cat to
keep her hydrated and with some energy.

Hope this is of some use.

Cheers, helen s

From first-hand experience: cats know when their time is up, and that's
when they stop eating and drinking. I.V.'s may keep them going for a
while, but when it gets to that point, it's time to let go. It's tough,
but don't prolong the agony, for either yourself or your cat.

Yes beasts are noble and honest. They definitely feel joy too IMO.
If you really want to cement the relationship with your sweet and
interesting skunk, give her some healthy protein, like a dead mouse now
and then. You are better off with a skunk in the yard than a rat or
raccoon. Skunks are not destructive, respectful, and just want to visit
your garden to eat the grubs.
Best, Bernie

well, all i know is that i read somewhere that cats are far more likely
than dogs to eat the bodies of their deceased owners if stuck in the house
with them after their demise.

i am much more of a dog person myself.

And not just "late". Wasn't there a case about a year ago of a partially
paralyzed sleeping boy, a family dog, and a few missing fingers.
