kitty
So glad he is okay. Had a similar episode with Stuart a kitty we adopted in July. He had cold-like symptoms and weighed less than 1 pound. Took atbc, Lysine and eye drops and is now fine. Hope you have the same results.

not sure what heppened - validated email and my post did not appear - anyway - kittens and cats are susceptable to blood disorders, tragic but true - I am an avid cat lover, kitty blood from my grams in me - keep us posted - OK?
Your kitty is beautiful!!! (nm)

Possible Solution For Kitty
I have a female cat who does the same thing. She tries to use her box and never attempts to do her business anywhere else in the house. She just has a little problem determining her positioning in the box. I have a big roll of 33-gallon plastic garbage bags and use these under the box. If Miss Kitty misses and pees over the edge, I just remove the plastic garbage bag and dispose of it and put a new one down. These cats are trying to do the right thing, but they just have a little trouble...LOL. Also, I agree that a bigger, uncovered box might be a good idea for your big boy. Good luck!
Big kitty troubles...
I also have a big kitty though not quite as big as yours. He does not quite seem to get his rear in to do his number two business either and it always ends up on the floor in front of the box. I have a regular size litter box and my mother has said they come in larger sizes and has suggested trying this. I plan to purchase one ASAP! He never goes on the floor and is very clean otherwise.
To the other poster who suggested just throw him outside, to some that would be like throwing a family member out of the house; I could never even consider that. There are other options and I know my kitty does not do this on purpose, he just needs an adjustment made to meet his particular needs. Good luck in finding what works for you and your big furry friend!
Sorry about your kitty, glad he's better. (SM)
I have 2 cats. When they were kittens they sat in my lap together, then they switched to the monitor. One of them still dominates the monitor and is hovering like Snoopy in Vulture Mode right now! I could not venture a guess how much cat hair must be in there! Anyway, it is one of the reasons I will try to stay working at home - KITTIES!
LOL I can relate. I have a naughty little kitty, too.
The house can be so quiet during the day with the kids and husband all gone. Then kitty decides it's time to play. He likes to try to get my Betta fish out of the bowl. He pounces on my dogs to get them to chase him around and around the house. He tries to claw the walls, furniture or carpet. He rubs against me and wants to be held. He jumps up on my keyboard or lap. He can't play with his toys. Oh, no! He's got to bug me. Sometimes, he's so frustratingly attention seeking that I have to stick him in "his" room until I'm done working. He used to sleep in a cubby hole on my desk when he was a tiny kitty. Now, he's so big that he knocks things over. The worst one was when he jumped up on my desk and knocked over a vase full of flowers and water. Crack, splash! All over everything.
Your kitty is a beauty! Enjoyed your
blog. Like the others, it made me appreciate what I have so much. Your "little corner of the world" where you work looks so much like mine. I, too, have my bird feeders and bird bath to look out at. I also have two kitties who are my "co-workers". Tip (angel in Thai), my ?-percent Siamese kitty is sleeping right next to my keyboard right now. Taz (yes, a little black and white devil) stepped away for a while. Sometimes I get so mad and hate transcription, but we really have to count our blessings. Working in the comfort and safety of our home with our animal pals and family close by is worth its weight in gold!!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face, MTBlab. 
Kitty prayers needed!

MissouriMT - could we have a kitty update?
I posted below, not sure if you saw it though.
My kitty is sick and I don't know anything about cats.
He's about 3 or 4 months old. He is a very playful kitty. Usually attacking my ankles or feet when I work, attacking the dog's tail, etc. A couple of days ago he just wasn't himself. Laying around, not playful at all. Yesterday and last night, he threw up three times, and today he basically laid in the same spot all day long sleeping and barely moving. I'm not sure when was the last time he used the litter box. I took him to the vet and they are keeping him overnight. They indicated he was pretty sick because he didn't resist having his blood taken or being poked on and he didn't try to groom himself after they were done. We haven't had him long. We adopted from the animal shelter. He was the only survivor of his litter and the momma cat was killed by a car.
I am really bummed for my kids. We just lost our cat and dog this past winter in a house fire and I just don't know how my kids are going to react if something is wrong with our new kitty.
My kitty drinks out of the toliet as well!
This is my first cat so I'm new to all of this, having dogs all my life. I bet your cat will come back home. My mother's cat goes off all the time and comes back weeks later.
cord biting kitty
I have a cat who has chewed through my foot pedal cord, and I had to go to the store and buy a cored protector to put over the original cord. I have black electrical tape on most of all my other computer-related cords. Finally, I purchased some stuff at the pet store called Indoor Bitter End. I cut the power to everything and carefully sprayed it on all my cords, obviously avoiding exposed wires, plugs, and outlets. I can say that she hasn't chewed on any of them since I sprayed them! I type in the basement and know that sometimes it's impossible to confine a cat or kitten and since they have a short attention span are not easily trainable. Maybe this will help.
My vet told me kitty has to be over 3 pounds--sm
before it can be spade, but since most kitties don't get adopted as soon as they are 6 weeks old, I think that is just a standard on the SPCA site you visited. I waited until my little girl kittie was 6 months old before I had her spade. If the SPCA is specifying six weeks after adoption, it is probably because they are offering some kind of discount if it is done by then.
My kitty likes to sneak under my chair.
He'll brush the tip of his tail every so softly on my leg so I think it's a bug or something. When I smack at it, he rubs under my hand for pets. Little weirdo. He likes to lick my toes, too. Icky sandpaper tongue. LOL
Is she ever precious! Looks like she's the deli owner's kitty.
I was hoping she had a home and it looks like she does!
That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

Update on Tom kitty - we brought him home Saturday and he is back to his playful self today. SM
I brought him home from the vet on Saturday. He was still running a temperature, but it was much lower - 103. It had been 106 when we took him to the vet. He was still lethargic, but had started to groom himself. I have antibiotics I have to give him twice a day, by Sunday afternoon he was becoming playful again and was drinking a lot more and started to eat more. Today, he is back to his old self. Attacking my PC wires and walking on my keyboard, trying to get my fingers when I type.
I am so relieved!

Where did U get my picture??
Getting the picture
NOW you're all getting the picture. You vote with your feet. Don't expect anybody else, especially government, to come to your rescue. I also tell anybody that I come across that asks (even if they don't, I'll still tell them) to find out where the heck their medical records are being shipped to. If doctors are getting questioned enough by various different people, maybe, just maybe, they'll get the hint.
So, just what is the whole picture on the

LOL...I can picture it
It's a bird, it's a plane, no....it's SURGICAL CLARENCE!!!!! Super hero, mender of all patients.
Thanks for the laugh.
My take on the big picture of VR
I really think the companies such as Dictaphone, have a very good sales staff, that talks a good talk to the powers that be at the hospitals, that they can save money, yada yada yada with the VR then the hospitals are justified in lowering the rate of pay for the VR ... so we are spending more time making sure these reports are correct, but getting less money for our time... WE LOSE OUT!
What is wrong with this picture?
You got $400 and I only got $25?????? I mean, WTF?????????????????

More like the picture at the very top on the right, I believe it is 26' x 36'. I know I can't afford the others and probably not the one I want either but this gives you an idea of the type of situation or setup I am talking about.:)
Did you see the latest picture of her (sm)
possibly pregnant, reading the junk magazines while going through the grocery store line?
So very, very few good or talented actors these days. Give me Jerry Lewis or Bill Murray any day. And actresses? I can't even list any I like anymore besides Marily Monroe. 
you are not seeing the big picture here for american MT's
Anyone can start a board, site.
What kept me here was their true dedication to US the American medical transcriptionists. Everyone is selling is out left and right.
If we dont stand up for ourselves we will be working for 4 cents a line.
All of the insulting offshoring companies in the GLOBAL NETWORKING COMMUNITY are now LAUGHING at us.
Do you think that is funny?
I don't think it is funny.
I think we've been sold out.
We are cheap labor. Nothing to bargain for.
All of your years of knowledge now count for NOTHING.
Good luck to you in the new global network.
I'm getting the full picture now. Not...
a pretty picture is it?
Oh DO share a picture with us all
We'd all just LUV to see him and please don't disappoint everyone with the old "Sorry, I don't have one" or "I don't know how to get the pic on the computer" because we just can't take no for an answer! We're sure you've got photos coming out of the woodwork on someone that cute but please, no substitutions with a pic of Brad Pitt all doctored up K?
We're all waiting ..........................................
Okay. Since you asked, here's his picture.
This was taken last week. He's the guy in large picture, dead center, ( ) and I'm over on the right ( ) in the smaller photo with pony tail. Sorry, they snapped our photos so fast neither one of us had the chance to take our glasses off! LOL!

What's wrong with this picture
If you have to work 3 jobs, something's gotta give. Lifestyle change, job change, something....life's too short to spend it all working.
A True Picture
Thank you for your post! Those of you that gave me an actual response instead of insults have given me a true picture of what MT is, and it is very different from what training companies would have you believe. It seems to be more work than I am willing to put forth.
Thanks!
I think a lot of people don't see the big picture.
For the most part MTs either had on-the-job training or have a certificate that required a year or so of schooling. If you only went to school for a year you probably wouldn't get getting paid anymore than what you can make as an MT. Those of us making upwards of $35,000/year it has taken us years to get to this point. Not necessarily because of wage increases, but because it takes a while to learn enough where you aren't looking up things constantly, takes a while to build your expander, increase typing speed, etc.
For MTs that have benefits they don't figure that into the line rate most of the time. For those who work at home they also don't figure in the clothes, the gas, car maintenance, etc.
I also feel like a lot of MTs complain (and rightly so) because these companies keep coming up with platforms that are not user friendly. If one company can have a platform that is super easy, the MT can be productive, why can't every company do that. It just doesn't make sense to me. If the MT is happy they are more likely to stay. These companies who have constant turnover have to employ several people just to deal with weeding out resumes, testing, training, etc. If they would take that $$ and put it into MT line rates and come up with a better platform they would still come out ahead.
A lot of new MTs buy into the $40,000/year that the TV commercials claim without ever investigating it and are in for a real shock.
There are lots of other reasons people complain. Some people will just not be happy period, doesn't matter if doing MT or not.
Some company, and again rightly so, that they get all the garbage reports while the good stuff gets offshored. I do 85% ESLs and don't mind doing my share, but I don't want to do garbage all day. If I get paid per line I need to be producing lines and if I can't do that then I'm not happy.
I see a bigger picture there than you do - sm
I see the state of US healthcare as a whole, which is going steadily downhill. It's a complicated mess and will take a lot of scrutinizing and picking apart to have any hope of cleaning up some of its dirtier secrets. Taking surveys in various sectors of that industry (especially in MT, a sector that for the most part is totally swept under the rug and ignored) is at least a step in the right direction. Not being interested in taking a survey is a personal decision, and if you feel threatened by it, then by all means steer clear if it makes you feel better. But your all-out attack on the idea, which seems to center around a PayPal button, seems skewed somehow, and makes me think you are MORE threatened by the thought that our profession's dirty laundry just might get aired.
Isn't that picture absurd??
I don't know what they were thinking! It's so ridiculous, it's laughable.
Go to the Gab board to see a picture
that wears a shock collar. I think he looks horribly unhappy, don't you????
By the way, he "smiles" all of the time!!!!!!!!!!!
