Pretty slow morning around here, fly-fishing for cats...
http://www.creativefeathers.com/pics/102_pic.jpg
That's a Fly-O. I use them to teach kids to cast a fly rod--they're a 3-foot section of fly-rod tip and a handle, with 12 feet of heavy orange yarn attached. They duplicate the action of an actual fly rod. Lay out 6 feet of yarn, and it's the equivalent of 30 feet of fly line. Nobody actually buys these things, we just make 'em.
Cats love them. Drop a good cast in a difficult lie somewhere in the living room, and you're pretty much guaranteed a heavy strike and a good tussle until you land the thing. Catch and release.
The kitten's adopted one of them as her special possession--she drags it all over the house like a fresh kill.
Idleness is the devil's tool. Looks like I'd better find something to do, eh?
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Sounds like you and kitty are getting good practice in.
I love cat's hunting instincts, watching their concentration and intensity, sometimes they can leap up to catch it before it hits the ground.
That was great reading, George.

I push my fingers into my eyes, It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache, But it's made of all the things I have to take, Jesus it never ends it just works its way inside, If the pain goes on, I AM gonna make it.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xps7AM8HbjE

I agree my cat torments the ground squirrels and mice don't stand a chance.

the only part I hate about my cat's hunting skills is when it brings the left overs at my front door
