Update: the vet called saying she can have an injected antibiotic for her infect, so we don't have to wrestle with her anymore.
Clueing for looks.

This is good news. All our cats hated medicine, no chance of giving them something orally. I hope your cat gets well soon.

Re: Free Rants
In Charleroi near Brussels (the seat of the EU) a Slovak citizen - Jozef Chovanec - was tortured to death by police, Naci-style. The helpless man, both hands bound behind his back, was held by the group of policemen face down, with the rag around his head, for 16 minutes and probably choked to death slowly. Policemen were laughing during the process, one of them even made "Sieg Heil" gesture and generally, they had a great time torturing the "lowly" East-European.
The link to the video of the torture:
The link to Belgian articles about the whole case:
Belgian police and the politicians responsible deliberately kept their tongue about the whole affair and tried to sweep it into oblivion.
That are your "EU" values. I´m sick to my stomach!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Free Rants
The group of our MEPs had sent a letter over the Chovanec case to the president of European Parliament:
About time!
