LOL that is funny Sarahtroy.

My cat needs his teeth taken care of but the vet wants to put him under and since he is an almost 10 year old cat I don't trust that. I am going to take him to another vet. I am worried about him. He is my hero. My cat keeps me safe. When I am having a seizure he is right by me the whole time. The other night I was laying in bed very sick and he walked up to my head and pulled my hair hard. He would NOT let me go to sleep. I guess he was worried. He was right before so I listened. Yesterday I went to the hospital and now I am hydrated and okay thanks to MDJ and my cats.

Sarahtroy, what does your dog look like?

One of my cats, Kyla, thinks she's queen of the house. She will literally wait outside of the bathroom door (waiting for someone to finish their shower) and then must be 'escorted' to her food bowl or she will just look up at you until you do so. Hmmmm.....who's in control at my house???????
Not a psychiatrist (pdoc) nor a therapist...what you read are my thoughts and there you go.

My mind is like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.

Diagnosis: Human


Equetro, Clonazepam, Clonidine, Lamotrigine, Xanax (PRN)

WOW You are lucky hypnagogic.

My cat ENTERS the bathroom while it is in use.

At least yours has the manners to WAIT!!!
