Things we've learned on Pet Talk

[krazyaboutkatz]

I've learned so many things about cat health which have also helped me in caring for my own.

I've learned that there a lot of compassionate animal lovers in this world.

I've learned that you don't have to meet some one face to face to be friends with them.

I've learned many PT terms like: whitecoats, furkids, zoomies, LES, port-o-prison, lap fungus, airplane ears, elevator butt, headbumpies, scritches, hooman, meowmie, pee biscuits, clingons and many many more.

[Lady's Human]

Learned how to (or how NOT to) boil eggs?

[Marigold2]

I have found great advice on many many subjects, true kindness and caring and some incredible friends that I will have forever.
I have learned that no matter where you are or where you come from your pets are the sweetest, cutest and most precious as it should be.
I have learned that I am not the only one who looks into an animals face and sees heart breaking beauty, love, loyalty and devotion be it a rat, cat, mouse, dog, rabbit, mule, horse or any other of this earth's creatures and I have learned to be proud of being the crazy animal lover and that is ok with me.

Taz Zoee,

I can take a hint. Tell me your secret cuz I've tried just about everything but a little warm water in the butt.

Gotta go feed the poo (no pun intended). I'll be back.

[Medusa]

I've learned about the B vitamins and how helpful they are to anemic cats. I've learned what cerebellar hypoplasia is. My Creamsicle is a CH baby and I never knew what her illness was and, believe it or not, neither did my vet. (not my current vet) I've learned that I can administer subcutaneous fluids to a cat all by myself; that Calicos are always female. I've learned about ametryptilene and how it can help w/inappropriate urination. (It helps for a little while anyhow.) I've learned what LES and "poofing" are; that people I've known only on PT are generous w/their resources and their love and compassion. I've learned lots more but I'm hard pressed to think of them at the moment.

I've learned how you can make life long friends out of people you've never even met (and how exciting it is when you meet them!)

[Pinot's Mom]

I've learned the term LES as well. I've also learned about Clomicalm & Feliway (which I haven't had to use, but it's good to know), the use of canned pumpkin, why to have ceramic instead of plastic kitty dishes, that night zoomies are normal & what actual disease my Pinot is a carrier of (all we knew was a virus, I now know which one).

I've learned there are people (some I'll meet, some I won't) all over the world whom I consider friends (very good friends in some cases) because of the common thread of caring for their furkids in the most loving and caring way they know how, which is what I strive to do, and that these people will more than go out of their way to do whatever they are physically capable of to help me and my kitty.

Thanks PT!

[Catherinedana]

I have learned more about cat poop than I ever thought I would or even cared to.

I've learned that people who are many miles apart can share a joy or a sorrow as if they were in the same room and cry together or laugh with each other.

I've learned that it doesn't matter what your political, religious or esthetic views are, if you love the animals you share your life with, it can bring you together with folks you might otherwise not have anything else in common with! And so the line in my signature "We do not all have to think alike to love alike"

No secrets. I've never had to even try it, but I learned here how to do it and when. I probably wouldn't have known when a kitten even needed to go.

And I'm glad to read that Pheonix Destiny did finally go.

I don't think I could add anything that anyone here hasn't already said. Many MANY wonderful friends from all over the world, that makes me feel like part of a real family. Some I've met (and have very fond memories of, Davidp) some I have not, which doesn't make them any less of a family member.

God gives you great friends to apologize for bad relatives. THANK YOU KAREN and PAUL!!!!!

I love all of you very much!!! You've all helped me through some really bad times and I'll never be able to express my gratitude enough.

I apologize to anyone I might have pissed off, offended or hurt. One thing I have learned is to be humble.

Thank you all for being there.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I have learned that a wide variety of people have pets. Everything from over-zealous nutjobs trying to throw their arms around the world, all the way to people who just don't "get" that properly caring for an animal means more than tossing it a bowl of kibble twice a day....or the importance of spaying and neutering.
