takes Elavil. We are a pair.
I have to take it for depression. Mouse has to take it for mega-fits. These are well beyond regular cat fits that they sometimes whirl into without warning.
She has allergies, and at times the itching will drive her crazy. She's high strung and when she really gets started, I can't calm her down. Her sister, Scat, will disappear into another dimension until its over. She makes the Tasmanian Devil look sluggish.
I don't have to do this much for her. Thank gawd!

(5,946 posts)My dog refuses to go out in the rain. I had to build her an indoor bathroom for those days when it just keeps raining, or would have suffered the consequences.
The dog won't sit on the dirt or grass, must have a pillow, prefers cooked food to raw. Likes rubber toys to nature's apples and other fruit, although she is fond of acorns, cracking them open and eating the insides.
She was bred to be a large and in charge hunting dog and all bets are off is she sees anything from the rodent family, she is an efficient killer, but prefers her creature comforts and does not eat her kills, she gives them to me whole, as presents or maybe rent. I don't think she regrets progress for a minute. Her owners dropped her off at a shelter because she was considered vicious and had "attacked" them. I find her the most loving and affectionate and trusting dog ever, her main problem is trying to climb in everyone's lap to be held, all 50 pounds of her.
The Midway Rebel
(2,191 posts)He quite literally screams at us until my wife blows him an exhaled hit. He points his chin up, squints at us and sniffs the cloud of smoke. He then stares at us gratefully until he gets the munchies and goes to take a nap on the clean laundry. If I could teach him to roll a doobie and light it, I think he would have one ready for us everynight after work.

some will say its abuse, but wouldn't hesitate to give them "legal" drugs. I have a cat who also seeks out the smoke. I think he knows it mellows him out and makes him feel better.
IMO there is a reason animals have THC receptors. It's no worse than catnip as far as I can tell...

(6,428 posts)in the 70's and he would follow the joint around. He'd sit in front of the smoker, place his head down on your lap and wait for you to blow the smoke in his face. He'd close his eyes and inhale. then he opened his eyes, looked to the next person that had the joint and sit in front of them put his head on their lap, and so on until the joint was gone. Then it was hit the water bowl, grab a few mouth fulls of dog food and then lie down in the middle of the people and wait for the next joint to be sparked.
He hated cigarette smoke though and he'd leave the room. Smart guy he was.
