She took him to the vet, who gave her cream to apply to it and some tablets for him but also told her that the cat could be depressed and this could be the source of the problem. My sister asked what could be done about it, the vet replied that she would have to drive the cat to Bristol (about 100 miles from where my sister lives) to see an analyst - a pet psychologist, and it would cost £300! I won't tell you what my brother-in-law said. The tablets and cream worked. My sister’s cat had a sore spot on his neck which he kept scratching.

She said when we adopted the two new kittens that she felt she was becoming ignored, what with all the attention we paid to the kittens. I assured her she was still my cutie pie and that she is still queen of the house. This made her feel better and she immediately ran outside to bark at the mailman like she used to do. Thank god she can be reasoned with, otherwise I would have taken her to the doggy psychiatrist and had her put on prozac, along with welbutrin to help her not to sleep too much from the prozac. Hmmmmm.........but that welbutrin, maybe I will get her a prescription for it. I hear smokers who use it actually smoke less after beginning the drug. I will have to do a cost analysis to see if it would be cheaper to just let her continue to smoke a pack of Marlboros a day or if it is cheaper to get the welbutrin.

Who's a pretty boy then? Squawk! Who's a pretty boy then? Squawk! Not me. My negative body image and subsequent lack of self-esteem has left me in need of anti-depressants. Squawk!

Not me. My negative body image and subsequent lack of self-esteem has left me in need of anti-depressants. Squawk!

Who’s an emotionally crippled boy then? Squawk! Squawk!

Yeah, my sister has a parrot that gets stimulated every time I'm around it - with a spray bottle. It's not depressed, just psycho. Psycho parrot. Yeah, that's it. “It would be better, he said, for people not to get parrots at all if they cannot provide them with the stimulating environment that the birds need to be healthy.”

I won't take them myself so I certainly would not give it to my pets... Must be because everyone is to poor to pay for the drugs so we have to find fools that will pay...
