I called the vet today and he is calling in some medicine that you can rub on their ears. It is amitriptyline, an antidepressant in ppl. It helps some cats with behavioral problems. I hope andit will be the answer for me!!

No, but he pees on the floor and baseboards. Or, at least, I think it is him. I know he is the one ...... on my bed because he has peed on me while I was in it
The amitriptyline helps with that sometimes.
I understand both sides of the situation.....insurance makes us a good living (actually it is because hubs is good at his job), but we do not get any discounts and our homeowners' insurance has doubled since we moved here 10 years ago. In fact, he has threatened to go to another company and get a quote.
The insurance companies are not making money on home insurance any more, and Tink is right, there are a lot of natural disasters hitting highly populated areas.

I hear you....and know exactly what you are going through. You can love and hate an animal at the same time! I hope this works for you Tink.....keeping fingers crossed. If the kitty prozac does not work.....maybe you can rub it behind your ears in order to cope.
So Glam and (lurking) JJ… are you supposed to get hit with the winter storm "Vulcan" (or whatever they are calling it - I know it starts with a "V" ). We are supposed to get a lot of rain/wind from it tomorrow.

My issue isn't limited to just home insurance. It's any insurance. You get two and three policies, so one covers what the one before it doesn't, and then come time for a claim, none of them will pay until they drag it out forever, deciding who is Primary. Primary was the one in the first place, the others are secondary and tertiary.
I'm not attacking anyone. I just think it's a damn shame!

I told the receptionist that maybe I needed some of it for myself!
Do either of them want another one??
My client would have an entire house full if she could. Every pet she ever had is in a spare room in her house - their ashes contained in beautifully decorated boxes with their pictures in front and and plaster of paris paw prints. It is called the "cat room."
I meant to say my DD's cat's name was also Oliver - forgot the ending r.
Sorry I'm lagging tonight ... got too many things going on around me ... phone ringing ... Friday wanting a cookie (pigs ear) ... laundry for Friday.
Good night jj!

Yes....it is hitting us right now. Originally they called for 8 to 9 inches of snow to fall after the rain/ice hit first. Now they are saying 3 to 6 inches of snow on top of this ice, and high winds tomorrow. And it is tracking east where it is supposed to dump a foot of snow in some places....extreme northeast, last I heard.
Well, I know insurance companies can be pretty shady....but I do not know what you mean by two or three policies. On the same risk?
Oh. I thought it was coming from the south and so would get you guys after us. I hope the wind is not too strong here. The ground is saturated and any trees that weren't brought down by the ice (many, many were) could fall with the wind.
LOL....if I open a can of tuna, my cat will come running from her bed in the back of my closet way back in our bedroom. I use a manual can opener so it is noiseless, but she can smell it from anywhere in the house.
When I was growing up I had the best cat in the world! When we used the can opener, no matter what we were opening, he came running!
Also, we put him out at night (although I would sneak him back in sometimes ) and he would grab onto the refrigerator near the door with both front paws, trying to keep from being put out.
Glam, Tink, jj ... that weather sounds terrible. I can't even imagine 9 inches of snow ... like how would a person walk or drive even? I've heard of it in Alaska, but not in the U.S. I guess I live in a glass bubble ... just can't imagine it.
I hope you do not lose any trees, Tink. That is one loss that cannot be replaced...once a big old shade tree is gone, it is gone.
I think Vulcan is kind of like Titan....there are several fronts that are going to come together...from the north, from the south, and from the west. The southern one is going to push the western one north into the northeast, and the north one is going to hit that rain and change it to snow. And there is supposed to be lots of wind with all of it. Just ask Weather Glam!

That's funny.
We rarely get that much snow. But this last storm was a LOT of ice. Trees were down everywhere, so the power went out for a lot of people, for days. One friend at work, who is a huge animal lover, filled 125 jugs with hot water (over several days) to keep her pets warm. She posted a picture of an iguana laying on a hot water bottle
Hello Beach(ers) I'm sure most of you have gone to bed by now . . .
I'm just stopping by for a greeting, and then I'll be heading to bed myself. We're expecting the storm on Thursday, so one more day of "acceptable" weather
Have a great Hump Day!
