Hey Bruce,
Glad to hear you're better now. I guess the fact that you recovered proves that if there is a God, he wants to inflict you onto the rest of humanity, and we can abandon any hope that he's good.
By the way, did you get to bring your kitty in when you had your CAT scan, or did they use some other creature and give you a PET scan?

I insisted, and they had to search far and wide, but they eventually got hold of an Aardvark.

Glad to hear you're ok now Bruce. The forum and website wouldn't load 24 hours ago so I'd feared the worse!

Good to hear you're better now Shen.
Curious, was this a domestic or wild cat ? I have a pet cat myself, she always receives vaccines and anti-parasite pills. I just use alcohol antiseptic for her deep scratches.
Do you plan to use KSHD in your recovery period ?
One more thing, given your experience with the wildlife can we now refer to you as "feral" ?

Also since you are recovered I can say. Stop trying to get cut. You look fine at your bodyfat percentage

Glad to know you recovered. Infected wounds, small as they may be, can kill you no matter how big and strong you are. Bacteria and fungi are still some dangerous little motherf•u•c•k•ers.
How did it all happen? Was it a pet or a wild/feral/stray cat? Pets tend to be cleaner and vaccinated, but they can still have some seriously dirty and infectious claws and fangs if their owners are not careful.

............................................ *sigh*Anyway, it was a stray cat. This cat has been seen roaming the neighborhood for years and no one seems to know who it belongs to. It's a long haired yellow cat. A few weeks ago I heard it crying at night. It sounded as though it was in distress. So I put some cat food and water out on my porch. The crying stopped and the next day the cat food was gone. So I've been putting cat food out every night for Yellow Cat. For the last week he's been coming up onto my porch and reposing. Lately he started rubbing up against me whilst I am sitting out there. He seems to do that more vigorously when his bowl is empty. When I pass my cats inside the house, they will sometimes reach out and grab my leg. That's what Yellow Cat did to me, only he is stronger with sharper claws, and he got me good. I bled profusely. He wasn't attacking me, he was just trying to get my attention. From now on I'll make sure he's got some food in his bowl. As far as I know, I might be his only food source, so I'm not going to let him starve. I don't want to adopt Yellow Cat, but there's no reason why I can't help him survive. I think he lives underneath my neighbor's porch. I don't know if he's male or female, but I learned that long haired yellows are generally male. BTW, I have an appointment with my doctor next week. I am going to ask him about the hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. He has me on steroid and anti-biotic pills for the next week, or so. And, yes, I've decided to do Chow Flex isos and KSHD for awhile. I did that this morning. I didn't get around to it yesterday evening as I had planned to, because we had a visitor.

Hey Brucie,
We can't call you feral now that we know that Yellow PussyCat has you twisted around his little sharp claw.

"feral". That was once all the rage on the Blow. Everyone wanted to be feral. Wonder what ever happened with that. It was probably replaced with the latest rage - dense. Now everyone wants to be dense. Not that they all aren't already.

I'll tell you how I trained my indoor kitty not to bite or scratch. Once when he first came to be an indoor cat, he nipped at me and scratched, and it drew blood. I hooted, hollered, cried, screamed, stomped around the floor, and created a big drama. I showed him the blood and said "No!" "No!".
Then, for about half the day, I withheld attention from him. No baby talk or pets. When he came up to me, I turned my back and tossed him a quick dirty look.
For the rest of the day, I fed him, made sure he had water, and cleaned his litter box, but gave him no social interaction. Then, the next day, I was my usual fawning and charming self.
I think we had to go through this dance twice. It was over five years ago, and I can't remember now. But he quickly got the idea that biting and scratching the great apes was a no-no.
Now, if he's displeased with me, he'll take a swipe at me but with claws retracted, or nip at me but not hard enough to break the skin. Usually, we get along pretty well.
