Alpina's blog post - ADS

It's been a quiet day so far, there is not much to tell. The sun is shining and it is quite warm, and the unusual masses of snow melt ... well ... like snow in the sun.

I went to the vet's again today because of my cat; she still behaves strange and develops different kinds of rashes, and in addition to that she has stopped eating her ordinary food. The vet asked me if I cared for a second opininon, he would ask a new colleague in to have a look at my cat (and me ... LOL).

Now it turned out that this new doctor was a woman in her late twenties, and, what is more, she is some kind of a cat psychiatrist. She does not exactly say that she can talk with animals, but stops rather short of that. She knew pretty fast what my cat lady is suffering from: ADS - attention deficit syndrome - caused by the change between my sabbatical, when I had a lot of time for her, and the fact that I go to work again every day and leave her alone for some hours.

So I finally know what the problem is: I am not an owner with a cat problem, but I have a cat with an owner problem. So as soon as I adapt my behaviour to her desires, she will be normal again.

And - what does this teach us?
