kitty
So glad he is okay. Had a similar episode with Stuart a kitty we adopted in July. He had cold-like symptoms and weighed less than 1 pound. Took atbc, Lysine and eye drops and is now fine. Hope you have the same results.

not sure what heppened - validated email and my post did not appear - anyway - kittens and cats are susceptable to blood disorders, tragic but true - I am an avid cat lover, kitty blood from my grams in me - keep us posted - OK?
Your kitty is beautiful!!! (nm)

Sending prayers that he back home soon and feeling all better! 
Possible Solution For Kitty
I have a female cat who does the same thing. She tries to use her box and never attempts to do her business anywhere else in the house. She just has a little problem determining her positioning in the box. I have a big roll of 33-gallon plastic garbage bags and use these under the box. If Miss Kitty misses and pees over the edge, I just remove the plastic garbage bag and dispose of it and put a new one down. These cats are trying to do the right thing, but they just have a little trouble...LOL. Also, I agree that a bigger, uncovered box might be a good idea for your big boy. Good luck!
Big kitty troubles...
I also have a big kitty though not quite as big as yours. He does not quite seem to get his rear in to do his number two business either and it always ends up on the floor in front of the box. I have a regular size litter box and my mother has said they come in larger sizes and has suggested trying this. I plan to purchase one ASAP! He never goes on the floor and is very clean otherwise.
To the other poster who suggested just throw him outside, to some that would be like throwing a family member out of the house; I could never even consider that. There are other options and I know my kitty does not do this on purpose, he just needs an adjustment made to meet his particular needs. Good luck in finding what works for you and your big furry friend!
Sorry about your kitty, glad he's better. (SM)
I have 2 cats. When they were kittens they sat in my lap together, then they switched to the monitor. One of them still dominates the monitor and is hovering like Snoopy in Vulture Mode right now! I could not venture a guess how much cat hair must be in there! Anyway, it is one of the reasons I will try to stay working at home - KITTIES!
LOL I can relate. I have a naughty little kitty, too.
The house can be so quiet during the day with the kids and husband all gone. Then kitty decides it's time to play. He likes to try to get my Betta fish out of the bowl. He pounces on my dogs to get them to chase him around and around the house. He tries to claw the walls, furniture or carpet. He rubs against me and wants to be held. He jumps up on my keyboard or lap. He can't play with his toys. Oh, no! He's got to bug me. Sometimes, he's so frustratingly attention seeking that I have to stick him in "his" room until I'm done working. He used to sleep in a cubby hole on my desk when he was a tiny kitty. Now, he's so big that he knocks things over. The worst one was when he jumped up on my desk and knocked over a vase full of flowers and water. Crack, splash! All over everything.
Did anybody else see this poor kitty picture?
Copy and paste, you will be amazed and sad at the same time.

Your kitty is a beauty! Enjoyed your
blog. Like the others, it made me appreciate what I have so much. Your "little corner of the world" where you work looks so much like mine. I, too, have my bird feeders and bird bath to look out at. I also have two kitties who are my "co-workers". Tip (angel in Thai), my ?-percent Siamese kitty is sleeping right next to my keyboard right now. Taz (yes, a little black and white devil) stepped away for a while. Sometimes I get so mad and hate transcription, but we really have to count our blessings. Working in the comfort and safety of our home with our animal pals and family close by is worth its weight in gold!!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face, MTBlab. 
Kitty prayers needed!

MissouriMT - could we have a kitty update?
I posted below, not sure if you saw it though.
My kitty is sick and I don't know anything about cats.
He's about 3 or 4 months old. He is a very playful kitty. Usually attacking my ankles or feet when I work, attacking the dog's tail, etc. A couple of days ago he just wasn't himself. Laying around, not playful at all. Yesterday and last night, he threw up three times, and today he basically laid in the same spot all day long sleeping and barely moving. I'm not sure when was the last time he used the litter box. I took him to the vet and they are keeping him overnight. They indicated he was pretty sick because he didn't resist having his blood taken or being poked on and he didn't try to groom himself after they were done. We haven't had him long. We adopted from the animal shelter. He was the only survivor of his litter and the momma cat was killed by a car.
I am really bummed for my kids. We just lost our cat and dog this past winter in a house fire and I just don't know how my kids are going to react if something is wrong with our new kitty.
My kitty drinks out of the toliet as well!
This is my first cat so I'm new to all of this, having dogs all my life. I bet your cat will come back home. My mother's cat goes off all the time and comes back weeks later.
cord biting kitty
I have a cat who has chewed through my foot pedal cord, and I had to go to the store and buy a cored protector to put over the original cord. I have black electrical tape on most of all my other computer-related cords. Finally, I purchased some stuff at the pet store called Indoor Bitter End. I cut the power to everything and carefully sprayed it on all my cords, obviously avoiding exposed wires, plugs, and outlets. I can say that she hasn't chewed on any of them since I sprayed them! I type in the basement and know that sometimes it's impossible to confine a cat or kitten and since they have a short attention span are not easily trainable. Maybe this will help.
My vet told me kitty has to be over 3 pounds--sm
before it can be spade, but since most kitties don't get adopted as soon as they are 6 weeks old, I think that is just a standard on the SPCA site you visited. I waited until my little girl kittie was 6 months old before I had her spade. If the SPCA is specifying six weeks after adoption, it is probably because they are offering some kind of discount if it is done by then.
My kitty likes to sneak under my chair.
He'll brush the tip of his tail every so softly on my leg so I think it's a bug or something. When I smack at it, he rubs under my hand for pets. Little weirdo. He likes to lick my toes, too. Icky sandpaper tongue. LOL
Is she ever precious! Looks like she's the deli owner's kitty.
I was hoping she had a home and it looks like she does!
That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

Update on Tom kitty - we brought him home Saturday and he is back to his playful self today. SM
I brought him home from the vet on Saturday. He was still running a temperature, but it was much lower - 103. It had been 106 when we took him to the vet. He was still lethargic, but had started to groom himself. I have antibiotics I have to give him twice a day, by Sunday afternoon he was becoming playful again and was drinking a lot more and started to eat more. Today, he is back to his old self. Attacking my PC wires and walking on my keyboard, trying to get my fingers when I type.
I am so relieved!
Bless you.
Bless you. I am so glad to hear that there are still good people in the world.
Yes! Bless you!
Bless you!
I feel so much better after hearing your trials. Hope all is well now.
God bless all of you.
My finger will heal in time. I feel so small for whining when you are all faced with such bigger challenges. God bless you.
God bless you
My prayers are with you and your daughter. I have a 5-year-old, and I would be a basket case if I had to endure what you are going through.
Bless you!!
No kidding. This has driven me crazy, but I just re-listened to the wav file and you are absolutely on target!!
So.....bless you and all your children, too! (Doing a happy dance)
Just wait til the QA hears this. She really is a sweetheart, have never had one problem with her, and she and I were working on this one together. But, thanks to you......heheh......I'm one up! :)
Bless you!

Bless you
Finally, somebody that agrees with me:)
God bless you!
You are a saint for trying to rescue your mother like that. From your post, it sounds like you have been "rescuing" her all your life. If she is so fragile and you are the only child, you really do have a lot on your shoulders. I had a similar situation with my stepfather when I was younger, but I didn't handle it well either. He and my mother eventually divorced (through no fault of mine). I admire you for being so loyal to your mother. I agree with the way you are handling things in your situation, nobody knows what anyone else's life is like. Just know that you have friends and support on here when you need it. You are a very strong person and I just know that this will turn out right for you. Just thank God that you are 'there' for your mother. You will never regret that.
Bless you all so much!!
I have 2 big tupperware egg plates, so I can get them done and overwith tonight because I think I'm going to have to do all the rest of the food now....geez...it will be all worth it though, it's twins!
Again, thank you all so much!
THANKS! Bless you.

Bless you!
It is sure nice to know that I am not alone! 
Bless you Bless you
I will be starting to use Shorthand. I have seen conflicting answers as to yes you can convert to ShortHand and no you can't. I am not real puter savy. I saw directions, but I would rather start from scratch than attempt what they say to do. This will help very much.
Have a great evening.
Bless you! - nm

Bless you!
Thanks so much
God bless you!
I think eventually we'll all have some crisis like this to deal with. Our business is fairly unstable right now. You are not the only Transcriptionist I know of with work issues right now, either so low they are not working or are facing layoff or worse. I am so sorry! I wish you the very best in the job search.
God bless you
I took care of my mom briefly full time before she died last year and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. At the same time it was a blessing because we got very close - closer than we had been and we had been very close already.
You're not alone in your struggles. You'll make it through and your mom will have an easier transition because of your help.
Bless you!
Time to start dusting off your old resume, it sounds like! I wonder if that's their plan - make all the old-timers quit and then hire in new cheap labor? Maybe they're about to get bought by the Q? Sounds like straight out of the Q-book...
God BLESS your mom and your love and
respect for her. I've been that mom and have only one child, a son, who also knows what I went through to provide him with everything I could inspite of the fact that his now dead father had a portfolio of over 2 million dollars, but hid his assets very successfully. His father would never pay child support or keep up insurance on my son, would bring lawsuits against me from time to time to try to get custody of our son; he even "kidnapped" him one time and did not return him for three months!! My now dead ex knew all these things would make me spend even more money and time away from work to deal with those issues.
However, when our son was with him, he would give our son a minimum of $100.00/day just for whatever he wanted, took off to all places in the world, Israel, France and Spain and once a month they'd go to the Bahamas or Bimini. This was my X's way of trying to undermine our son's love for me. Guess what??? It did NOT work!!!
God bless you Fluffy.
I pray that God's healing energy surrounds Fluffy, that his breathing is stabilized and that he is completely healed. And so it is. God bless.
Bless your heart
I hope you quickly work your way into a better pay range.
God bless the Red Cross
And some people have the nerve to say not to donate to the Red Cross because of not being sure of where the donations are going. Shame on FEMA.
Keep those donations rolling. We had some little kids who set up a roadside lemonade stand a few towns away from us and they made $50.00 to send to the Red Cross. Isn't that sweet?
Our local firefighters were out in Wal Mart parking lot holding up their fire gear boots. No signs or anything. We knew what they were doing. Sure I only had a couple of dollars to stuff in a boot, but if every person entering Wal Mart even put in a quarter, it would make a big difference. What really shocked me was the amount of people that just walked by.
Bless your heart...
you replied with Peace out, & I replied with guns-a-blazin'...what the heck did I do, forget that great thread from yesterday
my bad...*sigh*
Bless your heart ...
Are you getting enough sleep? That's pretty important!
Also, how long are you up before you start typing? Do you eat breakfast? You need a good mix of protein and carbs before you start typing. Perhaps a little exercise..??
On your expander, slow is fine on adding to it. Limit yourself to 5-10 shortcut entries a day. Write them down and keep them posted on your screen until you can use them without looking at the list. Then take that list down and work on another 5-10 shortcuts. They won't do you any good if you cannot remember to use them. When naming shortcuts, do whatever comes to mind first, whatever is natural.
Don't spend too much time on ESLs if you truly cannot understand what is being said. I don't like blanks either but there is a difference in beating your head against a wall over unintelligible gibberish versus doing a quick (3 minutes is my limit) research of meds, instruments, terms, diseases, etc. Don't be your own worst enemy here!
Working efficiently is not a matter of how fast you are, it is how streamlined you think.
