...fortunately, this is something pussies don't suffer from.
But I do if I get run down.
No worries though, whenever I feel the burning sensation, and see the emergence of yet another cold sore, I just take 3 granules of Natrum Muriaticum 30c + 2 granules of Borax 10 mns later : by the morning it's dried-up and dead.
Saved me a small fortune on cold sore creams so far.
rasputin

this cuddly little beast could actually eat you alive while u're asleep if not fed properly

Rodney, ex-diabetic puss
A friend of mines whose mother's cat had been diagnosed with diabetes--in the early stages, told me how the once fat little bastard, called Rodney ;-D, had some kind of 'remission', as in not needing his insulin injections any longer :
Her and her mom got 2 homeopathic remedies to start with, one that can halt the kidney's degeneration and another that treats both urinary disorders as well as excessive thirst. Respectively, Kali Chlor 30c and Hydrangea 30c. Worked from day one as the old tom (14) ceased to drink as much and seemed a lot brighter.
The vet had tried to push them into buying a big bag of Science Plan prescription dry food but the mommy insisted Rodney would be better off on wet food. I would most likely have said the same thing meself as it happens.
Anyway, Rodney's mam thought the likes of Denes tins and HiLife pouches would sort her beast out, but to no avail : although the cat drank less than prior to the remedies, he was still ingurgitating that bit too much water in comparison to when he had been healthier.
She then later realised that Denes contained quite a significant amount of 'cereals' as indicated on the tins label and that Hilife was fairly high on proteins--which isn't necessarily recommended for older cats with kidney issues.
In desperation, she tried the Co-Op's pouches own brand + tins ( the jelly, inexpensive ones ) which she found to be low enough in proteins and high enough in fats as to help the little bugger to put some weight back on ( since he had become skinnier for a while ).
Since then, Rodney has been going from strength to strength, is most definitely healthier and back to his cheeky chubby self too. ;-D
He now scarcely drinks, if at all I'm told.
I have seen the furry toddler recently and he appears as mischievious and lively as he ever was before the condition had developed.
This cat had been fed exclusively on Science Plan dry kibblets for quite a few years before his diabetic spell. Mere coincidence..????? you should be so lucky.
Who would've thought... that a so-called 'cheap crappy cat food' from the supermarket could actually help a diabetic cat to recover !!??
I'm learning everyday... ;-0
and so should all those high protein fanatics/raw meat maniacs/cat food snobs. That lot seem to be forever ranting at anyone who'll listen with absolutist statements that sound more like bible-bashing, all over the net in every bloody single cat nutrition article or forum I care to read--aaarrrgghhhh... This is getting on my teats a bit, even though I'm painfully aware that they do mean well..

seriously thinking...
...oh yes it does sometimes happen.
Where was I... seriously thinking therefore, about getting off the roll-ups very soon.
I only smoke roughly 6 a day in the aerated n shut bathroom as to spare my furry sprogs from the toxic smoke.
The nice thing about roll-ups though is that they don't really stink at all, nothing like the ready-made fags in any case, which is handy as otherwise I'd be forced to smoke them on the balcony in all weathers just as I expect from, and impose on my ready-prepared-ciggies-smoking visitors, since I can't stand the stench of it and most importantly nor can my dinausors'lungs and noses.
I have a serious constipation problem on my hands though: I'm sure I'm not the only one with that kind of chronic affliction and it is that whenever I quit the sweet weed, my guts seem to resign from their assigned job altogether; they obviously object to being deprived from their daily nicotine fix. I know the feeling.
I'm told chewing raw brown linseeds could help, so will be trying that one and will let you know if it does the trick.
Otherwise, I may have to purchase a good old enema from the chemist's, and why ever not. I have no sense of shame whatsoever me--did anyone notice.
I'm sure I can find some pretty good homeopathic remedies to try n fix it all if I look hard enough... I normally use homeopathy mostly on my cats but now I suppose it's my turn.
I already have tested Lobelia Inflata 30c, Tabacum 30c and Gelsemium Sempervirens
30c to reduce the cravings (when I once tried to weane myself off the fag, once in the distant past..) and soothe my nerves. It really worked for the cravings + associated nervosity but my constricted backside didn't quite follow hence I couldn't make it in the end.
Other than that, jumping from the cockroll to the donkey, if you happen to have a nervous, restless and aggressive-without-provocation type of pussy-bullycat and/or who tends to chew their fur off/scratch him/herself hard even though you know for definite that s/he does not have any flea infestation going on, the remedy that might very well save the day would thus be Anacardium 30c.
That little thug of mines (rasputin) becomes a lot calmer and ever so sweeter towards my ginger bear (Fred) once he's had a granule of Anacardium to settle his delicate nerves down. He used to chew his hair off during the first few weeks I had him, as he was so traumatised I guess after having been dumped into the shelter not knowing what was going to happen to him--like most of the kitties in there.
Anyway, he was scratching and biting himself 'til blood came out and scabby skin around the base of his tail soon appeared as a result.
A visit to the vet + a course of tablets punished him that bit further in giving the poor lill bugger massive diarrhoeas (steroids I think it was..?) and as if that wasn't bad enough those pills didn't even cure him one iota.
Anacardium did however, in just over a few days.
To this day, I still marvel at the somehow 'miraculous' efficaciousness of homeopathy as it literally saved my cats from many serious ailments and infections.
