Animals feel pain in a very generalized way. While we feel pain in a localized way. This helps them to be able to manage and maintain a consistent pattern, all the while healing. They are amazing! Apparently, there is an old Zen mind training technique that can help humans do this too. It seems to work wonders and is beneficial in that it disperses and thus lessens the stress of pain. Animals do this naturally, we have to learn it....

....oh shite

During the night, butternuts (our cat) tore off his bandage.
I awoke to him growling and PANTING like a dog.
Blood was strewn across the house including all over our sheets.
I took him back to the vet at 7:00 this morning.
I'm frustrated now that the money spent the first time is now all in vain.
(I wish I was making this up).

The problem is, that the site itches, just like with us as it heals. Cats can't stand for things to 'itch' or feel out of place.. Try getting an Elizabethan collar for him. This will reduce the likelihood of this reoccurring. Also there are Calming treats yo can get to help keep him in a more relaxed state while healing. Also, ask your vet for pain meds for the first week. It will help imminsely!

Or just hot box your cat. I found that works great as well and they are more enjoyable to be around.

That's horrible! ( even from one pothead to another! THC is not healthy for any animal.. And can eventually after time cause damage that brings on psychotic episodes. So don't do it very often. Cats especially are very sensitive to medications, and THC tends to affect them
Quite adversely. It used to piss me off soooooo bad when my brother did this to our cats..

"Elizabethan collar" = fancy way of saying "cone of shame"

I've heard of some animals reacting well to (various forms of) cannibis. I don't deliberately blow smoke at our kitties but they're certainly used to being around the haze of it!

To be clear I was joking although I have seen a positive of it being done. A friends dog loved to get high for some reason and would go nuts if someone came into the place with any product on them. We would know right away when someone was lying if they had any or not.

rebandaged and cone of shame. This cone is smaller and of soft material unlike the big plastic one he had to wear when he ripped his stitches out last year.
Bloodbath was a bit overstated (not much). 30 dollars.

How much do you fear death?
I never thought I was scared of death, but I am 41 and still alive.

I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of the process of dying.... looks pretty awful unless you get lucky and drop dead or die from a "short illness". Most people rot away slowly and painfully one way or another, and that scares the hell out of me, and the only reason I am horrified about aging... and also why I am so happy about doctor assisted suicide not being illegal in Canada anymore. But death itself, and being dead? I figure the very worst it could be is nothing (me being an atheist, Hell is not a threat). Chances are greatest that it will just be total oblivion, which would be silly to be afraid of. But the possibilities of death only get better and more exciting from there in my mind. I am actually really looking forward to finding out what it's like to actually go through the moment of dying and be dead (or finding out nothing, because there is nothing). The curiosity/anticipation is killing me.

It's the idea of oblivion or nothingness that terrifies me! The thought of simply ceasing to exist. I know that sounds stupid as clearly I will have no consciousness at that point but I just can't get a hold of the concept and it freaks me out. So yes, I am very very scared of death!

Well think of oblivion as the exact same as before you were born. That wasn't so bad, right?? Before you were born is nothing to be scared of.

I'm more worried about what if the Mormons are right. Highly improbable yes, but you never know. They will have a special place in hell for some of us.

Are you Mormon?

Nooooooooo. I can't believe in anything that wants to deprive us of most of the joys in life. I enjoy pot, tattoos and being too much of a degenerate for them.

Hey.. God gave us pot!! I thank Him for it everyday!

by midnight the cat had the bandage off, through the cone somehow, by morning he had the cone off.
Ridiculous.

Seems like you need to change Butternuts' name to Houdini!

I could never keep those things on my cat either. I think the trick has to be to tie it on way tighter than you think you should?? Otherwise they just squirm out of them.
