My first real laugh of the day! Thank you, you cheered me up!
Reply:Ha! Very true. Cats are so fun.
Reply:What's the question here?
Reply:That's so funny! I hate having to "medicate" my cats. I have to give Kinsey a thyroid medication once a day now. I'm lucky it is not a two times a day dose.





Why does that bottle of amoxicillin in the refrigerator seem to go on FOREVER. I would swear some gremlin puts more in it every night when I am sleeping. I am surprised the cat doesn't get in there and empty a little every day.
Reply:This is an oldie but a goodie! It's very similar to "how to get your cat in the carrier so you can take him to the vet". Anyway, there is a new product on the market called "Pill Pockets" for both dogs %26amp; cats. The cat ones come in chicken and salmon flavors. You hide the medication inside, seal it up and watch your kitty gobble it up like a good patient should! It's amazing! I wish somebody had told me about these sooner. Check them out at http://www.healthypets.com/pillpockets.h... .
Reply:ha. I just finished giving my cat a round of pills for a sinus infection...It pretty much went exactly like that, minus the emergency room.
Reply:Funny! How about Dogs Letters to God








Dear God,


How come people love to smell flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another? Where are their priorities?





Dear God,


When we get to Heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?





Dear God,


Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! I know every breed cannot have its own model, but it would be easy to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle!





Dear God,


If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?





Dear God,


Is it true that in Heaven, dining room tables have on-ramps?





Dear God,


If we come back as humans, is that good, or bad?





Dear God,


More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.





Dear God,


When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?





Dear God,


We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?





Dear God,


Are there dogs on other planets or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street!





Dear God,


Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?





Dear God,


Is it true that dogs are not allowed in restaurants because we can't make up our minds what NOT to order? Or is it the carpets thing, again?





Dear God,


May I have my testicles back?
Reply:Laughed about the stiches part, I have the proud war wounds of pill giving from a cat!!! As being the first step in care giving to animals coming into our shelter. I got the great and wonderful job if giving pills to all the new animals. I got to be an expert at it, but not after a few deep scratches and bites!! This is a funny rendition
