My sister told me about a story she read where a guy was sitting reading a newspaper, and his cat zoomed into the room, jumped onto his lap, and got its claw stuck in his eyeball. The cat was just doing a normal kitty freakout. Doctors had to remove the eye.

| kellychaos | A friend of mine had a cat with a urinary infection which, at first, he didn't know about. He took the cat to the vet because it wouldn't use the litter box. After arriving at the diagnosis of the infection, the vet explained that the problem was that the cat was associating the pain of urination with the litter box and; therefore, discontinue the use of it. Perhaps the cat is misassociating his seizures with different tasks and situations that he's in. If this is the case, I don't see his relationship with you and your family get anything but worse. | ||

That's too bad, but really the cat may just have substancial health problems that no matter where it is it just can't be fixed. My cat was 21 years old and started pissing everywhere and hissing at us, I think it's a common thing for cats to become senile. Maybe it's time for it to go to Kitty Heaven.

Sorry, Max. One of my friends had to give a cat back to a shelter after it didn't work out, and that was really sad. But we went back yesterday and she brought home a different one (hopefully without the same problems), and while we were there I met one that I want to adopt too, so I think I'm going to become a first-time pet owner soon.

Last night it bit my older daughter when she was trying to help it spaz down off the couch withouth bashing it's head in. This morning it peed and crapped in several places that were not the litter box. I think it is trying to tell us things aren't working out. I feel terrible, but he's got to go back. The girls cried like crazy last night. My friend at the shelter says they'll foster him there until they can find someone for him and won't ice the poor bastard. I think he needs a small confined space and maybe one person, which are things we can't give him. And while I don't think a cat could kill you, I am here to tell you from personal experience (not this cat) that if a cat really wants to hurt you, it is nothing at all like the accidental and/or playful stuff they put you through, even when they are feeling grumpy. |

Pern, yeah, awesome scars is a huge exageration. That being said, the ones on my arm look worse than they did this morning, which is pretty much the way with cat scratches. I mean I required no stitches or even butterfly bandages. I have been hurt way worse by animals. I think I must be some kind of masochist, because I've always loved animals, but have been hurt numerous times over the course of my life, twice bad enough to need stitching. Like I said, I'm more concerned about Cordie who has as little sense as I did when I was her age, and mostly because this poor cat can't give you a warning before he starts whipping all over the place. |

| Perndog | I can appreciate that it must hurt, but how do you get "awesome scars" from "surprisingly little visible damage"? Does it just start to look worse and worse every day because your cat has venomous teeth or something? | ||

| kellychaos | My posts are often spastic and unwieldly. As a message therapist, what would be your best advice, Max? | ||

| Protoclown | Yeesh...that's tricky, Max. I guess if you're afraid for your children's safety though, it's probably best to try to find him another home. | ||

My special needs cat gave me some awesome scars this morning. He'd been horribly circling the litter box, or so it seemed anyway. It was hard to gage his intent as he was not succeeding in getting any closer to it for like a half hour. It certainly looked like it was his intended destination. I finally couldn't take it anymore and I went over and tried to help him out. I lifted him up and when hios feet touched the cat litter, he totally freaked out and bit into my hand and tore two long scratches from the inside of my elbow all the way to the palm of my hand. Ow. I hollered real loud, but managed to put him down gently without instinctively throwing him. Then I had to pretend for my kids that he hadn't hurt me all that much and I went in the bathroom to clean myself up and also so they wouldn't see their dad SOBBING LIE A BABY! I'm kidding, I didn't cry very much at all. Their is suprisingly little visible damage, concidering how much it still hurts. I don't now about this, though. I mean, not for me, I thrive on getting carved up, but Cordelia manhandles that cat no matter what I tell her. Plus, since it has so little motor control, it doesn't give you any of the typical cat signals about when to stay away. It's been ultra affectionate, there was no indication it could be as violent as it got, and I have now way of knowing if it meant to be so... effective, or if it only intended to nip me a little and then it's jaws went spastic (literally). |

That is so sweet of you to adopt a special needs kitty. Dude, you can totally get any woman now. I'm serious too. Girls love sensitive guys! |

How old is this cat? I have a very beautiful all black long hair cat with bright green eyes, and he is normal. So, if you want another one let me know. |

| FartinMowler | I once knew this guy who sent this special needs cat to a message therapist because it couldn't lick it's balls. | ||

| mburbank | Yeah, it would need to be videos, but I lack the technology. We need a fundraiser to bring me (and my cat) fully into the digital age. | ||
