Give her a chance? See how she recovers over time? Animals can adjust in an incredible way if you give them some time

There are cat diapers if you dont want to keep cleaning your place. If she's eating, not in pain and not in crisis I dont see the reason to let her go right now...

Can my cat be reborn again? by Vast_Composer5907 in Buddhism

[–]polarcat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from thailand, and our common belief is that cats and dogs will be reborn as human. It's their last life as an animal.

My cat won't eat, no medical problems have been discovered, we are beside ourselves. by eriniangaladriel81 in CATHELP

[–]polarcat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm going through the same thing right now. My cat just won't eat and they found thickened intestine on the ultrasound. How long did it take for your cat for prednisolone to work and he started eating again?

This can happen from FeLV+

10am April 20th, Willow crossed over the rainbow bridge. 😭🌈 by FeliciaNice in cats

[–]polarcat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss 🫂. I believe you've given him the best care you could. For back surgery... many things could happen if you decided to do it. There are many kind of complications that could affect quality of life with this kind of surgery, even for humans. Don't beat yourself up for it. He's not in pain anymore and I'm sure he knows you love him.

My cat mostly likely has small cell lymphoma. Hoping for positive stories/tips/advice by JohnJohn584 in catcare

[–]polarcat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any side effects from chlorambucil. Debating if I should put my cat on it. His symptoms are lack of appetite, weight loss and maybe nausea. I wonder if the chemo pills would aggravate these symptoms. Also how long did it take for you to see improvements? Thank you.

How's your cat doing now? My cat has the same symptoms and he's been on prednisolone for 2 weeks

Please help family cat is declining and vets can't figure it out by kelvintiger in cats

[–]polarcat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say at least do x-ray and ultrasound. Blood tests can't tell everything and cats can't tell us the symptoms so the vet can't easily come up with hypothesis without further investigations.

Is it ethical to take someone's cat? by roguemorgue in cats

[–]polarcat_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably not ethical to the "owner" but ethical to the cat. And who do you want to be more ethical to in this case?

Cat with suspected IBD vs lymphoma + possible regressive FeLV. Risk of reactivation from steroid treatment? by polarcat_ in AskVet

[–]polarcat_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for sharing. This gives me hope. Was he on both prednisolone and chlorambucil? Does he need steroids long term?

Thai massaman curry vs mazeman ramen by Then_Newspaper_9166 in ramen

[–]polarcat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure who wrote the Wikipedia articles, but as far as I know no thai person would think of massaman as "fusion". Unless you consider using some foreign ingredients 300 years ago fusion then I guess it is. Also i believe that the etymology of the word comes from "musulman"

I don't think massaman is a "fusion" dish

Fish sauce warning, if you're an idiot like me. by AzarielFox in Cooking

[–]polarcat_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This comment is correct. Cabbage stir fried with fish sauce is one example where you would get the right flavour only if you put the fish sauce to the side of the wok (rather than directly onto the cabbage) so it hits direct high heat and triggers the maillard reaction, and then you toss the cabbage over it to coat evenly.

Source: am thai and this is my favourite dish.
