Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / February 2006%$@#&!* nosebleed!
I've spent most of the past week paying for the light I got during a trip to the dentist. Lots of fatigue and other annoyances before I started to feel better. Then this morning I was sitting there, the cat purring on my lap while I congratulated myself on feeling okay--wham! My nose started bleeding. Not only did I get it on the carpet, I also bled on this fluffy, all-white cat. Getting it out of the carpet was hard enough, but have you ever tried to clean a grumpy seventeen year old cat? (Yes, they're self-cleaning--but with Hiss's personality I definitely do *not* want her to acquire a taste for my blood.) The worst part of it came while I was cleaning the carpet. The cat gave me a look that said "And you get annoyed when *I* make a mess on the carpet!" --Bill Thompson You don't wash your Fluffy Cat? I do mine in the gentle cycle, with Woolite. I let him air dry and he turns out just fine. Another idea is one of these new Bissel steam carpet cleaners. It woudl clean the carpet... couldnt you just sneak it over on to the cat a little bit" This is all in good fun, I love my cats Mary > I've spent most of the past week paying for the light I got > during a trip to the dentist.

Not the stronger beauty supply stuff. I don't have a fluffy cat but your wash and dry hints sound good.

I let him air dry and he turns out just fine. Hmmm . . . how do you keep the washing maching from getting out of balance? I only have the one cat, so I couldn't put a second cat in the load to keep the tub from getting unbalanced. It's especially difficult because everyone says that Hiss is the most unbalanced cat they've ever see. > Another idea is one of these new Bissel steam carpet cleaners.

In fact, all three of Hiss's previous owners loved her. --Bill Thompson > Hmmm . . . how do you keep the washing maching from getting > out of balance?

Maybe you could just borrow a stray cat from the neighborhood. Look, it doesn't even have to be a cat. Any small children around that are about the size of Hiss? It might really help Hiss to get into balance once and for all. Best of Luck Mary >> Hmmm . . . how do you keep the washing maching from getting >> out of balance?

SignatureAndy Taylor [Chair, N E Lupus Group] See http://www.northeastlupus.org.uk for more! Hey, I have a Hiss too only his name is Frodo. You shoulda seen my shredded hands from squirting Advantage for cats on his neck last summer. Ya'know - I rescued him from starvation (literally), give him love, food & pets - don't you think he'd be the least bit grateful?! Have you ever had a flea crawling around on your scalp & you can't get it? Do you want Frodo to balance your washer? I have another rescue too, Yellow, but he likes to lick my teeth so I don't have to brush them. He's a keeper.

Hiss only weighs five and a half pounds, so it would be hard to find a child that small, or even another cat that size. I suppose I could use a poodle or other yappy little dog for a counterweight. If so, I want credit for being the first man to discover a use for little dogs! --Bill Thompson > Another idea is one of these new Bissel steam carpet cleaners. It would > clean the carpet... I tried that, and it didn't get the blood out of the carpet (which needed cleaning anyway). Several other things didn't work, either. Fortunately the Stanley Steemer company makes a spot remover (cleverly named "Spot Remover") which removed the stains but not the carpet. I hope nobody else needs this particular information. --Bill Thompson > From: "William R Thompson" <wrthomps@ix.netcom.com> > Organization: EarthLink Inc. -- http://www.EarthLink.net [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > --Bill Thompson Hey Bill, I hear ya. I got this stuff called 'PeePee' to, of course, take out urine odors. I had to wonder tho . . . WHY is it called PeePee; does it remove or add? We have a paraplegic Beagle that drags around &, you guessed it, pees everywhere. I've tried diapers with the back cut out for his tail, rigged harnesses, etc. but he drags out of everything. My carpet cleaner & I are attached at the hip. Unfortunately, PeePee didn't take my carpet away either.

Sounds like a bad time so sorry hope it gets better how wonderful you have seventeen year old cat that is how old my old sweetheart Crosby was when he passed.

I'm sure the cat enjoyed laughing at me. --Bill Thompson Yes cats do take pleasure in our not so pleasant times I swear I hear mine giggle from time to time (0: William R Thompson wrote: > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > >Yes cats do take pleasure in our not so pleasant times I swear I hear >mine giggle from time to time (0: Ours smirked.

I do hope your nose bleed is now under control. Have you checked your blood pressure? Are you the one who live around the corner from me in NN/HPT?

They only start after I've had too much light or taken a too-hot shower. > Are you the one who lives around the corner from me in NN/HPT? I live in northern Utah. --Bill Thompson |
