Does my veterinarian need to know I had cancer?

Thanks for the chuckle Meow. I hear ya! There have been many days where my eyes glance between the frying pan and the side of hubby's head. Cute, but dumb I always say. 

Oh, Solen....the picture I got in my head of the fern and the bald head! Ch-ch-ch-chia 

Actually it is a good idea to let the vet know of your health status - or of any member of the family who may need to take special precautions - depending on the health status of their pet.

Q324 - My cat turned two years old and has become MEAN!  She is really aggressive and we all live in fear of her!

The vet says at age 2 cats become territorial!

If any one has any suggestions I will welcome them because this situation can't continue and we all love the cat.

She is an indoors only cat - no chance of letting her out the apartment.

I also wondered if human health issues could trigger crazy behavior in pets.

LOL!  I had a cat named Claude when I was a teenager!  Can you guess how he got that name?  When he was a kitten he would wait for me to exit my bedroom, take a flying leap down the hall and attach himself to my arm!   I still have scars, but they are blended with my scars from my Doberman when he was a pup.  Both pets mellowed out completely, but babyhood was rough.

I had a sweet beautiful calico named Josephine who never hurt a fly........maybe it is the males that are the issue........oh and we circle back to the beginning of this thread.........men.

These posts made me laugh! WHen I was a kid I had this big black and white cat named Patches. He had huge yellow eyes and such a personality. He would bolt through the house like a mad man, running, skidding on the hardwood. He would dash full speed right at you and just when you thought he would hurl himself into you - he would leap in the air  and box his front paws like a fighter and take off in a sideways direction. My Dad would shake his head.."there is something very very wrong with that animal... he is not right in the wiring department."  At night he would cry off into the livingroom. I would be upstairs near my bedroom. I would call and he would answer... long yeooowl. Then I would say. "Time for bed and I am shutting the door." The Patches would fly to the end of the stairs and look up at me twitching his tail wildly. Ok then and I would turn to walk to my bedroom and that cat would scream bloody murder up the steps and fly right past me, leaping up on the bed - "beat-cha again!" We did this every night for years. What a nut case.. Patches loved his games. He would lay on my back and knead it with his paws...purring like a motor boat. Loved that furball.

Bounce- if the cat has really become "mean" then you can't fix it. We had a feral kitten, tuxedo long haired only 6 pounds - gorgeous cat. We raised her since she was itty-bitty. The kids loved her. She was still more wild then tame, slept in the garage and wouldn't go in the house much. A neighbor found the kittens and the mom never came back, so we all took one. Mia was a killer to mice and birds. She also beat the crap out of our other cats sending them several times to the vets. She would follow our kids to school and once at the crossing guard would turn and go home. She would follow us on walks and howl bloody murder if we walked too fast, so she could catch up. Lots of neighbors thought this cat was hilarious because of how vocal she was on walks every night. You could not pick her up or she would scratch and bite, but she would follow you around the yard. She would jump up on the roof and cry at us looking through the sky light! Our Golden and border collie we had at the time were terrified of her. She was hysterically territorial and would attack other animals. I was sitting on our bench out back and didn't realize our male tabby was under the bench. Mia flew into a rage and attacked our mellow Tabby, with me sitting right there!  I never heard a cat scream so loud in terror in my life. I swatted Mia and grabbed Percy. He was terrified. Mia went to the humane society as a no other cat animal and strictly outside barn cat. Every animal in the house breathed a sigh of relief. 

I know it's been a while since your post meow13, but I'm curious how things are with your husband now. My husband is telling everyone also. I only wanted family to know. Not ashamed but I don't want this to be a badge for sympathy or a crutch. I want to deal with this and live life. I feel he loves the sympathy and the attention. We've been together 28 years and this is really disgusting to me. I don't like this side of him. I've told him from the beginning not to say anything. Just the other day he had to drop off paper work to realtor and when he came home he said he told her too!!!! I feel it's all about him. He made a comment about drawing a happy face on my boob after I get surgery. It hurt my feelings. We faught and he said he doesn't know what to say. I ended up apologizing for hurting His feelings. Just don't know how to feel about him and his actions anymore.

thank you for responding. Hope you feel I wasnt prYing to much. Just wanted to see if I'm over reacting . This is just not what I expected. Not sure if I want to stay or if I should see what happens. He is my best friend but he's not acting like it now. It's funny how people react after knowing. I've come to the conclusion no one really knows what to say so why would I expect any different from him. ....yet I do.

Hi Scared. Out of all the irritating traits men possess, I have to say blabbing information is my least favorite. I really do think they're looking for sympathy and "poor you" comments. My husband did it at first too and I can't even begin to explain how angry I was....and I found out completely by accident, which made me even more angry. I bluntly told him to STFU. Don't know if I got through, but I'm hoping...no new incidences.

I have zero patience for people who can't mind their own business. The worst I experienced was this dumbass surgical nurse, who unfortunately was on duty during my surgery. Our kids happened to be at the same school in the same grade and bitch took it upon herself to tell the teacher I had cancer. I seriously wanted to punch her in the throat!! Best I could manage at the time was a very unpleasant (for her) phone call. Really regret not getting her nosy ass fired. She caused so much chaos.
