	Well, if you take it apart, it's fu-venus-rs, or literally 'venus' inside 'furs', a reference to "Venus In Furs" by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. ... I had too many of those logic-puzzle books when I was a kid, what can I say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ahhhh! See, I was reading it as 'fuven-usrs', so 'fuven' users, and I was wondering what a fuven was/stood for that was clever. But you're right, that does win. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

If you really want to let your cat outside, and he keeps coming home beat to all hell, maybe he should stay inside?

Or maybe he shouldn't, because keeping a 7-year-old cat that's used to getting out suddenly inside all the time will result in a)the cat becoming miserable, b)the cat going insane, c)the cat driving you insane by destroying everything in your house, or d)a delightful combination thereof.

	We took in a semi-feral cat six years ago. We tried our damndest, but there was NO WAY to make him into a fully indoor cat. It was impossible, so we eventually gave up and let him go in and out, but wouldn't let him stay out at night. Goddamn cat. (He was pretty mean to our existing cat, too, and she's my baby.)

Same here. We have had our feral cat, aptly named Spike, about six years and there is no way in hell he would ever settle for being an indoor cat, not that we've ever had indoor-only cats. He wants in and out of the house constantly all day and night and sprays if he's in too long, and he is very confrontational/territorial with my other two cats. He drove the cat we had when we got him (we rescued him at about 4 weeks from his neglectful mother) to live with another family down the street. He is quite a beautiful creature, though, and can be extremely affectionate and purr so loudly you hear him across the room.

More OT, my family's had a long history with scrappy male cats, including him, so we've seen more than a few abcesses. Aside from two that required drainage tubes from the vet, we've lanced them all at home and had no problems. The hardest thing about it is holding the cat down so he doesn't claw your eyes out.

(I hope that rabid pitbull lady doesn't find this and start flaming me. Snatch.)

	Sometimes I think that unless your pet's condition is bad enough to end up on one of those oh so dramatic reality cop shows on Animal Planet, that everyone needs to shut up about everyone else's goddamn pets. (Reply to this)

People in New Zealand say "Vet Nurse". It may not be right in the States, but then neither is Gay Marriage, and in some parts of the States interracial marriage is frowned on. That doesn't make it right. Your way of saying things is not the only way of saying things, and just because it's different it does not make it incorrect.

... I... ack... glah... FUCK?

Um, hi. Unless your cat recieved the abcess while attempting to marry a fellow tom, I think you might need to re-evaluate your comparisons of oppression, here.

	Yeah, I was following her line of logic until she came up with that. I mean, one of the perks of being a Vet Tech (or Nurse, in this case) is that you really can do certain types of medical stuff to your pets, like lance an abscess. But bringing Gay Marriage into it is just strange. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	elektra3 2005-10-03 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	I think what she was saying was that we don't use the phrase "vet nurse" in the states, just as we don't have gay marriage either. But that's a rather stupid analogy, because word usage =/= law. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Oh come on now, let's not be wacky about it. Surely a total stranger with no professional experience is the one who is correct. I once had a roommate with zero medical experience whatsoever contradict a diagnosis that my doctor gave me and then get angry when I told her I refused to follow her advice in favor of the course of treatment prescribed by the doctor. WTF? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It continues with an open letter, and more non-stupid petowners who nevertheless do not seem that bright complaining about how the girl probably is secretly not a vet nurse, ah, and more such "flamming" and merriment. (Reply to this)
