Comments on: Oh, Hai. http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/11/10/oh-hai/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

Also, if you do wind up going the antibiotic route the probiotics and some canned pumpkin (for fiber) can help with digestive upset from that. One of my kitties was a digestive mess for a while after her deworming etc and that combo was the only thing that helped. I read all sorts of advice online about how to get her to eat the pumpkin but it turned out that she loves it straight from the can. Now every time I make pumpkin muffins I have to give her some of the pumpkin :). Re: the farting

She just spun around and stared: "My god, I didn't know it could do that!"

My gosh, the cat could clear a room faster than anything I've ever seen! My vet eventually diagnosed her, after a couple of food switches, with gastrointestinal issues, and now she's on a very low dose of steroids every week -- and no more farts! Now, however, we call her Yuna SMASH! My mom told me I had the weirdest cat ever when I got Yuna, who used to have a terrible farting problem.
