I have chronic pain and massage therapy has literally been a life-saver. That makes me want to see if it could improve Catbot and Torgo's lives, too. It may not, but hey, worth a try.

p.s. before I get too crazy-cat-lady, I am well aware that cats are not humans. Torgo and Catbot are not my children or my babies, and I am not their parent. They're a part of my family though and I love them. :3:


Yeah, cats are in our care, and it is our duty to take care of them, make sure they are healthy, fed well, and treated humanely. This goes for any pet really. People who are like ":byodood:my babies:byodame:" and treat them like the aforementioned woman with her little dogs are hosed up. I love my cats as well, talk to them, am goofy about pictures etc but when it comes to serious business with them, I get serious. poo poo, most here remember Dexter's adventure with ibuprofen poisoning that cost me close to $6000 a couple years back.

What sucks about having any pet you care for is eventually one must come to the realization and reality that in the end it's most likely up to us to kill our pets as well. So, nothing wrong with giving them the best we can while they are here, because they give us a lot of love and happiness.

cat massage chat: skeleton touching, that's how Tattoo gets massaged. that means softly spot massaging along the bones. he generally liquifies under the treatment, as in while the brush excites him, the bone rubbing calms him down like he's been bathing in liquid valium for hours, under da sunbeams

FYI for those who don't know this is Jackson Galaxy:





The intro says he is "a musician by night, and a cat behaviorist by day" and he drives a classic pink Cadillac and carries a guitar case full of cat treats and toys

Sadly I cannot seem to find any of his music, though to be fair I didn't look that hard

yeah, that. I've watched like three episodes last year and ran far, far away. the man is not the problem, the almighty guys in suits who devise their TV content as if the whole population was hopelessly stoopid are

they should rely more on cat TV programs to generate realistic, valid and interesting content* :colbert:

just quoting this because yeh

my friend just had to put down his cat due to heart failure in about a 2 hour span. went from fine, to heaving and having trouble breathing. he took it in and the vet said it was heart failure and there was nothing they could do.

i just cant imagine having to do that. every time ive had to put a cat down its been a few months coming, but maybe thats worse, just knowing whats going to happen. then again it gave me time to do as much for the cat as i could. i burned a lot of vacation days before i had to put one down because i had only had him for a few months and it didnt feel like nearly long enough.

and apparently he didn't really play with the two cats at my parents' place and mainly sought attention from people, so i think he's fine

i really was sorta worried about "wow my cat is gonna be a weirdo" but then I realized he's a loving cat and who cares he's fine

All I'm hearing is YOSPOS needs to set up a "adopt a calico buddy for Walt" fund thanks to disappearing neighbour relinquishing potential ownership of cats on his property.
