Jeez, they should at least recycle that cat!
What interesting markings - all that dark "makeup" around her eyes.

Uhm...from the look on your cat's face, it's not too happy about being in
the bag. I can't decide if its eyes look sleepy or upset. I certainly hope
it's the first one. I'm also going to just assume that the kitty climbed in
there of its own accord and that you, being the human, took it out as it's
not safe for a cat to hang out in a plastic bag. The fact that it looks
just like my cat in the face and then seeing it in a bag is just disturbing
to me.
223rem
Of course she climbed in there to sleep (the bag is full of old clothes).
She looks like your cat? Well, Google is not declawed.
Beth
Yes, she looks like my cat who is declawed in the front only. The state of
my cat's claws were not up for debate. Yes, I now know that declawing is
not a good idea and any future cats I own will not be declawed. And, last I
checked, in general you are not the best cat owner, as many here have
pointed out. Come to think of it, that fact was the reason I was concerned
for Google in the first place. Google may have all claws in tact, but not
declawing is not the only thing that makes a good owner. For starters, I'd
stop letting the cat hang out in plastic bags unless you have a desire to
wake up to a suffocated cat.

Beth, the cat's inner eyelid is showing, which nearly always means
dehydration and usually some sort of illness. This is the freak who enjoys
watching his cats kill mice etc. that he posts photos of the dead animals.
He's an asshole--and now we know that he is an asshole who does not take
care of his cats.
To the asshole: your cat needs to see a vet. Her inner eyelid is showing.
Maybe you could take her to the vet instead of photographing her in stupid
and potentially dangerous situations. Asshole.

This is the most ridiculous thing you have ever posted. Cats' "inner
eyelids", called the nictating membrane, also show when they are in a
half-sleep, drowsy state, or when they have been snoozing and/or are
content. An apparent nictating membrane is only a sign of illness
when it shows continually.

Not always. Do a simple search on "nictating membrane" and you will
see I am right. The nictating membrane sometimes shows when the cat is
drowsy and/or content. It is not always a sign of illness.
It *can be* a sign of illness if it remains exposed, however.

I have never seen it in any of my cats, and the cat in the picture is far
from drowsy or content, he is being suspended in a garbage bag.

Showing everyone your charm, once again, I see. The cat's nictating
membrane *could* easily be showing as she just was awaken from a nap.

The cat in the picture is not "suspended" in a bag at all but, in fact,
was *sleeping* on clothing in the bag, according to the OP. Ref:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.pets.cats.anecdotes/msg/23da890dfc0c470b?dmode=source
Furthermore, she looks completely content. :)
If you have never seen your cats' nictating membranes you must not
spend very much time with your cats. When a cat is sleepy or content,
they often will open their eyes and the nictating membrane will be
showing for a little bit. I am sure many other posters here have seen
their cats nictating membranes when their cats are drowsy. My cat
does it when she kneads on soft clothing. She also drools. (But In
your world that MUST be a sign of POISONING! Ack!!! - get her to the
ER quick!!!)

Hillary Israeli, DVM is a known Usenet entity. She is a DVM in Philly
and a "sometimes" poster to alt.med.vet. I have no association with
her other than I know she posts there infrequently. You can Google her
and see she is indeed a board-certified vet. There are other vets
around who post there, as well. I am sure one of them can enlighten
you, since you are too pig-headed to put away your biases long enough
to learn something.
BTW, your friend Candace said essentially the same thing I did in a
previous post:
"Yes, cats have a nictating membrane or third eyelid as it is commonly
called.
Some cats have a little of it visible at all times (my experience is
that
round-eyed cats have it less visible than almond-shaped eye cats) and
it is
frequently visible when they have just woken up or are very sleepy.
But if it
remains visible and starts to cover more than just the inside corner of
their
eyes, it is generally an indication that they are ill." Ref:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.pets.cats.health+behav/msg/6ccf28e811d9c993?dmode=source
But of course, if she had replied to your comment instead of me, this

Now you are changing your story. What did you do - finally Google the

*I*, in fact, am the first one who said if the nictating membrane
*shows continually* it may be a sign of illness. You told the OP that
his cat's nictating membranes were showing and so she was sick and
needed to be seen by a vet. You cannot backpedal now, asshole. You
have been caught doleing out the *wrong* infromation, and now are
trying to squeak out of it. No way - the thread is extremely clear.
Here is the original thread:

This is a good question for the vets. They are here to disseminate

The fact is, what I said is true. I said "To the asshole: your cat needs to

I can see the asshole who enjoys posting pictures of his cats torturing and
killing
little animals objecting, but for you to is beyond priceless.
When we see the third eyelid with any regularity it is time to see the vet.
Especially
when we are a single-eyebrowed piece of shit that encourages them to kill
animals that might have been exposed to anything. How do you think the dead
mole he posted a photo of got into his house? Had the mole been subjected to
any pesticides?

Why don't you two do another turn around the room. The kneejerk Greenie

You are lying because you have responded to every post I have made in

read the post? If that is the case, then it figures - you very often

Nictating Membrane"
Glossary
Definition: Noun. An inner, third eyelid, which serves to protect the eye
from dryness and/or damage. When a cat is sick, the third eyelid will
partially close, which is a signal to get him to the vet immediately,
especially if other symptoms are present. Curiously enough, a very happy,
drowsy, cat will sometimes show that nictating membrane.

Yes, it is. But that is not the case with this cat, and that is not
what you have been arguing. You have been arguing that the cat needs
to be seen by a vet simply because the "third eyelid" is showing.
Showing the nictating membrane is not, in and of itself, a sign of
illness, as you stated above. The cat just woke up, is sleepy and her
nic membranes are showing which is not any need for concern.

I don't care. I am not concerned with his animals catching rodents -
plenty of cats catch rodents - that is what cats do. What I *am*
concerned with is you giving out wrong information.

First of all, the guy's name was Hoss. You probably don't even have
any idea where the reference came from. And if you think it is an
insult, it's not - Hoss was a very likeable, gentle character whom
everyone loved. Furthermore, unlike you, apparently, I am completely
comfortable in my body. You may think fat phobia and disparaging heavy

extremely sophomoric. But that's not surprising coming from you.

The cat is not hanging in a plastic bag. How can the cat be "hanging"
when both strings of the bag are showing?

I don't care if he brings rodents into the house - it is his cat and
his rodents. For all I know he buys them at a pet store and supplies
them to the cat. He wouldn't be the first on the ng to do so. I bring
rodents into my house and feed them to my snakes. This is not any
different, as far as I can tell. My only concern to him about the mole
is that they can carry lice. It isn't something I would do with my
cats, but hey - I am not a control freak enough to care whether or not
he does it with his. Geez! If the cats get poisoned or get worms
(most likely outcome), so be it. Maybe the guy will learn it isn't
that great of a practice.

I'd rather err on the safe side. And when I see this is a cat enouraged to

That's the point. Nictating membranes in and of themselves are not a
sign of illness. Cats that are obviously sick, lethargic, or ailing,
will *sometimes* have their nictating membranes showing. It is very
easy to spot a sick cat with nic mambranes showing - they are not
alert, responsive and they act sick. A well cat with nic membranes
showing almost always are content or sleepy.

That's because you're an idiot. Common sense when it comes to cat
health and behavior is not your forte. You're also the bimbo who
brings the cat to the vet for every minor scratch or wound.

The cat just woke up, according to the OP. It's highly likely the
cat's nic membranes are showing because it is sleepy.

Why do you think this is a fault? A fool and his money are soon
parted. Besides, I do not use disposable diapers. As you well know, I
use coth. I have posted about the coupons as I clip those coupons for
my friends who do, which you also know. And while I have purchased
shoes at Payless and see nothing wrong with doing so, the "faux
Birkenstocks" you are referring to are Simple clogs. Simple are far
superior to Birks for a number of reasons, and they certainly are not
cheap. But of course, none of the facts of the truth of what I post
fit into your tiny little world of "make fun of Lyn at all costs". You
claim you "rarely read my posts" yet know the minute details of my
daily life as posted to a.i.parenting. Hummmm...how can that be?
Psssst....Your continuous pugnacious behavior and lack of integrity is
why most people have you killfiled.

They do laugh at people like you. They have nicknames for people like
you. When they see your phone number pop up on caller ID at the vet,
they argue with each other about who will take the call because you are
such a pain in the ass and a waste of time. The vets *loathe* people
like you because you waste time that could be better served servicing
cats that are truly sick. You are the hypochondriacs of the vet world.
Educate yourself a little bit and learn something, for a change. Put
your biases on the back burner, shut your mouth and listen.

You will never know they are laughing at you. They will smile in your
face, happily take your money and let you out the side door. They will
laugh at you before and after your visit. If it is bad enough, you
will become a reference point for all other people like you. "Oh, is

The point is, you have to have some common sense when it comes to
taking care of your cat. A simple Google search will show you that a
nic membrane is not always a sign of illness. You figured that out
right quick. It's amazing that cyberdolt can't seem to do so.

BTW - any person who brings their cat repeatedly to the vet for minor
things is a hypochondriac, plain and simple. You have to have some

It has always been my understanding that seeing this so-called "third
eyelid" is not a good thing. I am eager for the vets to weigh in.

How many people have to tell you it isn't always a sign of illness
before you will get it through your thick head? Jesus christ you are
an idiot! Its not any different than a sneeze - sneezing is sometimes
a sign of illness and other times not. Are you really that fucking
stupid about cat health? Don't answer that - obviously it's a
rhetorical question...
And BTW, the vets aren't going to respond, so "eagerly" wait all you
want. Moron.

Fell better about what? About you being such a moron? Doesn't bother

Thanks--not that the pseudo-concerned oligophren who crossposted this thread
was taken seriously to begin with.
Google likes to sleep in that bag which is full of old clothes. A cat
has sharp claws and teeth, and therefore can easily tear its way out of a
plastic bag in case it gets entangled.

Thanks. I take it since I never seen it in my cats, if I do, it would very
likely be a sign that something is wrong.

Yes.
It can also show under various other circumstances. One of my favorites is
commonly known as "haws," and is a completely benign condition which will,
as my optho lecturer put it, "get better in three months no matter what
your treatment or lack of it may be," hee hee

No, cat's don't "magicaly" develop their own criteria for illness. The
appearance of the nictating membranes in and of themselves on any cat
is not a sign of illness. If they are accompanied by "clinical signs
of illness", as the good doctor said, or they are "always visible," it
is something to be concerned about.

You may have just never seen him in a half-sleepy, drowsy state or
really relaxed. The difference is, in a sick cat, it won't be fleeting
- it will continue to show off and on when the cat opens his eyes. The
cat will *look* sick. Did you see the face of the cat in the herpes
thread? There are pictures with and without the nictating membrane
showing. The cat is obviously sick - just look at his face. He is
showing *other signs of clinical illness* - weepy and half-closed eyes.
Sick cats with nic membranes showing will often sit hunched up, be
lethargic, have discharge from the nose, eyes, or mouth, sneeze, etc.
It will never be solely nic membranes showing, on a sick cat.

Obviously, but for something as simple as a present nictating membrane,
it's really a no-brainer. Cats often show them when they are sleepy or
content.

Yep, that's true. I have always seen the third eyelid in cats that have
obvious
problems--strays and cats that are truly sick. I had mentioned this before
when
commenting on KitKat's baby Jasper, whose third lid shows in most pictures.
He does have some health problems, but I hope I did not worry her
unnecessarily.

And this is obviously going to be your only response. No "Sorry I was
wrong" no "Sorry, Hillary, for doubting your credentials" No apology to
the OP for telling him his cat is sick and accusing him of neglect
when neither case was true...and OF COURSE no apology to ME for
challenging *everything* I posted which was CORRECT.
Of course not. Your agenda is all too clear.

Please be advised that Downtheroad Hospital has just hired specialist Jim
Johnson, board-eligible in specialty-of-the-week. Please feel free to
