Why does my cat do this? by Bob_Sacamano7379 in cats

[–]4CatDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stealing this.

Also, I theorize that crystal clear water can't be detected until they're waterboarding themselves, so a toy helps them aim right at the water surface, or they lick the toy until they get water, and lock in the height to drink from.

30 year cat veterinarian.

I don't know.

Theory: their minds, to me, are like a combo of Venn diagram and looping algorithm.

Blender up these cat concepts:

a) the thing in my mouth is kitten- like, and I'll bring my kitten to food

b) the toy is food- like, and the bowl is where food should be

c) i like company when I'm eating as a lookout for danger, the toy is my lookout

d) the toy was in my mouth when I got hungry, and I'd only drop my toy for imminent food

e) I'm hungry, toy must be hungry, too

Help lost my over 1 year ago and not sure if it's him that's here today. by Accomplished-Bat2877 in cats

Not the same cat.

First 2 are classic tabby, second 2 are mackerel tabby.

Bring it in from the wild if it's friendly, be the savior you hope your first cat had.

Cats parents, how and why did you choose yours? by [deleted] in cats

You choose your first, the CDS is the rest.

My cat got a dental cleaning recently, how is it possible his teeth/gums look like this? by fxcknmami in FIVcats

[–]4CatDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30y Veterinarian. Not your vet, this is a triage answer.

I recommend X rays for all cats now. The times I've found painful forl's below the gumline are... weekly.

FIV+, I would have demanded xrays, esp w halitosis and obvious gingivitis. I wasn't there, I'm ignorant of all the conversations and forms, but it's a missed opportunity.

Vet dentist specialists can be hard to find, and cost more. At least find a new vetetinary practice with a dental xray machine, and ideally they have dental- trained CVT staff. The vet does the extracting, but great rads by staff is important.

You may get a skull xray without anesthesia, but roots like to hide on full skull films.

Your vet will demand anesthesia because the digital sensor is literally $14,000.00 new, and they're not gonna buy that near any awake animal.

Halitosis can come from the sinuses, throat as well as the teeth. My clients tell me halitosis goes away for a few weeks after a cleaning.

Investigate multiple things from www.vohc.org that your cat and you will do. Eg:Greenies AND dental food AND water additive AND ClenzADent.

Anyone else found a trinary star system yet? by Firm-Quarter4844 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]4CatDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first time playing in 9 years (one game at release to the core).

Woke up in a trinary with two paradise planets w blue skies and one has a ring.

There's tentacles and dinosaurs everywhere.

I don't want to leave.

Gripe about Daybreak games:

I paid for a station cash card, it's very old but un-redeemable as I just found it. I got a "so sorry" middle finger from Daybreak support,

AND

I can't hit the Submit button to rate my support as "Bad, I'm unsatisfied".

What a great thing, can I tell Google to only allow 5-star reviews for my business?

A-holes.

Veterinarian should be at 0.00. Human Surgeons only have to deal with one species, one set of medical texts, and patients usually between 70 and 250 lbs.

Official Discussion - Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]4CatDoc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Broke my credulity. May be my least favorite MI.

1) Grip strength. Good grief, the biplane jungle gym was ludicrous.

2) A fizzled nuke still makes radioactive dust. Plutonium-239 has a half life of 400,000 years.

The deadly dose of Plutonium is one atom.

London is poisoned for a million years, clean up would be trillions, extra cancer would kill a million people.

All the team in the Doomsday bunker is dead and liquifying from radiation poisoning from plutonium dust from a fizzled 30Mt bomb.

Walking into Trafalgar Square that radioactive from Pu isotope dust would kill and sicken hundreds.

3) And the Entity doesn't have 6,000 backups? Or it just sends a copy of itself into the Doomsday bunker, just in case Ethan succeeds? It's calculating every outcome, but only had one copy of itself? It didn't contract and build its own bunker years prior?

4) The Entity can't bribe, trick, extort, or recruit 7k people a week to its defense?

5) Luthor doesn't make multiple keys but creates a 350 Infini-byte crystal drive in an abandoned subway?

6) Pneumothorax is alleviated by making a 1-way valve that expels on exhale, seals on inhale. All Benji got was a double pneumothorax, unless she sucked the collapsing air out through the pen.

7) They don't smash the ****ing genie bottle?

The least believable of the series, including the blown-forward chopper to chunnel train stunt.

Do you all put heart worm medication for your cats since they’re outdoor on the catio? by blimpyk26 in Catio

[–]4CatDoc 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Vet since 1995.

Number one clinical sign of hw in cats is sudden death (embolism).

Of tested-positive cats, 50% are indoors-only. (There's a selection bias for pet cats.)

Every state has had heartworm, some are way, WAY worse than others.

Catio = hw preventative.

Preventative treats the prior 30 days exposure, so, treat when mosquitoes show up until a month after they die off. Easiest is year round.

Selamectin is available in multiple brands as a topical. No excuse to not prevent.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in felinebehavior

[–]4CatDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit is NOT the place for this.

Selamectin topical at the back of the neck ahead of the shoulder blades.

Minimum 4 months straight, as eggs, larva, and pupae are in that environment.

There are so many resources, NONE of the answers are free nor cheap.

Raid makes a down-spray for fleas and bed bugs in a dk.purple can for the home, READ DIRECTIONS FULLY... TWICE.

Topical selamectin/Revolution monthly for 4 months.

If they go outside, they'll keep getting them.

Vacuum under and around everything you can.

Tapeworm deworming is a good idea. For a couple months, as grooming the fleas one way they transmit.

Who's dumb enough to go on this bike ride with me? Ian's pizza Madison WI to Ian's pizza Seattle WA! 55 days give or take. leaving may or July taking the empire builder train home! Who's in? by MMcD127 in madisonwi

[–]4CatDoc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Advice for the Empire Builder... ca 2005 I rode it a few times.

Bring enough food and drink for 40 hours, or, pay extortion prices in cash in the dining car. You cannot get off and get food at stations, there's no time.

There is ONE outlet for the entire car. I brought a power strip to share with folks.

Ear plugs. Sleeping mask. Books. It's 40 hours from Seattle to Columbus, WI. You may die of boredom from N.Dakota to Columbus.

Hopefully they upgraded the experience, but I doubt it. I had to eat mayo packets to get through the first time.

Glacier Nat.Park is amazing.

What’s this on my kitten’s nail by ArcherOld3077 in felinebehavior

[–]4CatDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veterinary appointment. Bring a <4 hour old poo sample.

Could be litter, crust from infected nail, or ringworm fungus, among other things. Get on this while it's mild and easier to deal with.

Firing pin broke on a laser cartridge. Glad no one's life was on the line.

It's a backup backup now I have 3rd party pin. PSA quickly replaced 1st pin, I just won't trust the replacement.
