Hil, I commend you on your restraint in not beating this guy to death with a four-ring binder.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My apartment is a ridiculous mess. Like, I don't think there's anywhere that I can take more than two steps without having to step over something. I think I'm going to need to take either tomorrow or Friday to stay home and clean.
Can I give my cat some Benadryl? I think he's being bothered by allergies. I mentioned it to the vet last visit, and he said he'd rather not medicate if it wasn't too bad, but I feel bad for the little guy. He's been unusually quiet tonight, and he keeps, like, starting and then licking himself frantically, just as if he got bitten by something, but there are no bugs on the cat or in the house. He did get outside briefly a couple days ago; maybe he's just allergic to something out in the wild outdoors.
Anyway, yeah. Benadryl for cats, yes/no?
I know it's okay for dogs, but I don't know what the dosage would be for cats.
I know it's okay for them, but not the dosage. And I'd bet it's way, way smaller than the smallest human dose. I'd call your vet, if that is an option. To be sure it's allergies and be sure you have something resembling a safe dosage.
Thanks. I think a call to the vet is in order tomorrow morning. He seems okay, just quiet. He's never quiet until he's worn himself out.
Nora, I cannot believe the situation with your boss. This passed "logic" about 100 miles ago.
All that I can wish you is sanity, calming, and a boss that respects that your a human being in the future. It's a basic. That's all.
Zenkitty, cat~ma.
ION. Dead tired, but. Con! Really fun con! And in J-lm, so you don't have to ride to Tel Aviv to be in it!
Today I'm about to hear about:
Astronomy and Cosmology during the Renaissance
String Theory
The Ecology of Alien
"Wild Scenarios for the Future" panel
The Passion for Space: A Psychoanalytical look on 2001, Space Odyssey
Another Panel, called "Robinson Crusoe in Space"
And a lecture called The Stars (Aren't) My Destination.
Plei, house-selling~ma to you guys. I know this has been a long and tiring process. Hopefully the new owners will see the house soon and jump on it.
Damn, damn, drat. Just saw a typo on a pdf that announces a Christmas gift. Mom is getting a marked up printout, I tell you what. How did I not see this earlier? Why can't I just unsee it now?

Dude! Jealous.
{{Nora}} sucky situation, but it sounds like you handled it really well and gave a text-book perfect response.~ma for new-better-job-finding.
Benadryl for cats, yes/no?
Yes. I do advise talking to your vet about it.
IIRC, my vet told me I could give it to my Harvey at 1 mg per pound of body weight (children's liquid is the easiest way to ensure accuracy, but the flavor is not a cat's favorite). A quick check of the Merck Veterinary Manual puts the dosage at about twice that.
