Thanks Nesse. He is a prety kitty. His fur is very silky.
His father's coat is short and coarse by comparison.
I got to the drugstore today and the pharmacist wouldn't
sell me any polysporin eyedrops without a prescription.
He got mad and sort of yelled at me when I said I didn't
need one because it was for my cat. (You can buy
penicillin and other antibiotics at vet supply places
without a prescription, but it is about forty miles to
the nearest vet supply. I have never done it, but I know a
lot of poor people who get their medicine at these places
because doctors are so expensive. It is the same stuff,
just marked for veterinary use only.) He yelled at me that
he didn't care WHO it was for and that I should get a
prescription from a veterinarian. So I went home and
ordered it from a Canadian pharmacy over the net. They
said to fax them a form with physician's prescription on it,
but of course I didn't. So I will see if I get it or not.
So anyway, the cat may be cured by the time I get it. I
have been squeezing colloidal silver out of a saturated
cotton ball into his eye and it looks a WHOLE lot better.
I think the form is for US customers who are looking to fill
their prescriptions in Canada because the drugs are so much
cheaper there (the American drug manufacturers sell their
products to all other countries for a third of what they
charge Americans.) So anyway, if a prescription isn't
required in Canada for these eyedrops, maybe I will get them.
These two cats are very small guys. Papa is much smaller than
Sunshine. I have always had GIANT cats before. I figure these
two are so small because of generations of feral cats not
getting enough to eat.
I may have a hairball problem pretty soon. Papa, the tiny old
father cat has been trying to groom my enormous and very old
Brittany Spaniel. I am glad that they have become friends,
because Regal (named Chevas Regal because his orange spots are
the color of Scotch whisky) is very lonely. He no longer has
the energy to even walk around except to eat and go outside to
potty, and he is a sweet loving dog. So I am glad that Papa has
decided to be his friend, but it is a little ridiculous to see
that tiny cat trying to wash that enormous dog. Should I put
some olive oil or something in the cat food every day?
I am glad you like my Sunshine. Thanks again for the
encouragement.
