It wasn't diarrhea...it was brown and formed, like usual...I think she just stepped in it and then shook her foot to get it off and splattered it all over her. But it wasn't diarrhea, trust me.

And I blowdried her cause I didn't want her to get cold and it's a quick and easy way to get her dry.

Everything doesn't have to be an issue or a debate...I was just sharing my story...it's not something I was needing advice about, just thought I would share.

thats good to hear.

ah, understood...thought i would offer my tactics since you mentioned your cat was "freaked out"...i know how that is.

fine, use a dryer if you want...i mentioned something else that i found to be easier in my case, i was not judging your tactics...you mentioned your cat was "freaked out" by the dryer so i thought to offer my experience.

im not debating anything, this is a health forum and im trying to be complete about what your posting....i've done otherwise in the past and have been sorry i didn't mention.

ease off the defensive button, its getting old.

I wasn't being defensive, I was just trying to be "complete" to let you know that there wasn't any health problems, just telling my story.

did not need to be there....it's easy to read into that. how are my comments a "debate" or "issue" and yours are not? im confused.

Because I post to tell my story and you follow with unwanted advice....not necessarily bad advice, you just make it seem as if your way of doing things is better than anyone else's.

Like, just because you choose to let your cat's dry naturally, does that mean I should too? And if that's not what you meant, then that's how it sounded.

And just because my kitten got poo on her, you automatically assume she has a health problem - "PROBLEM....TAKE HER TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ok, so maybe I am exaggerating, but you know what I mean....or maybe you don't....who cares.

ok, the late hour is not the only reason im getting tired of this. your not paying attention to my words, or if you are then your attitude towards me is overriding better judgement.

i will respond to you one more time, if you want to keep on with this in your current direction, then it will be your last.

i mentioned using a towel since you mentioned your cat was "freaked out", thought it might eleviate stress...its not the best way, but its another way and it might actually deal with a potential problem.

i mentioned diarrhea (how appropiate at this point huh?) as a possibility since cats who have that will get what you mentioned initially (you really didnt clarify so i was left to wonder and thought i would at least touch base with it to be safe).

i never mentioned seeing a vet, said to investigate...but that might mean a vet visit if the symptoms were happening for extended periods of time or were getting worse. since your cat has no problems, it did not apply for you but it very well could for others who may read this later.

your not only exaggerating, your being defensive for no good reason....stop.
