Thanks!  There are already plans to lay the Feliway on, but I don't
think anyone is allowed to give him anything by mouth before the trip --
certainly not mood meds and possibly not even RR.  I'll have his mommy
double-check on that, though.

Wendy, thank you so much for your reasoned and graceful response.

Do I believe in animal communicators?  I'm not sure.  Do I think that
there are people who can communicate with animals on a deeper level?
Yes.  Do I believe it's something that might be worth a try under some
circumstances?  Absolutely.  It's not like the AC has to put electrodes
in the animal's brain, or in some cases even lay hands on them or be
anywhere near them.  What's the harm?  I realize there's a huge
potential for scam here, but I also know that many ACs don't charge for
their services.  When I was volunteering at a Katrina pets shelter, an
AC was called in and her impressions posted on the animals' cages.  Some
of them were general enough to be generic -- doesn't understand why
she's locked up, wants to go home -- but some were heartbreakingly
specific -- remembers being hurt, can't remember ever playing -- and
these were enough to make me believe that there *can* be something to
it.  Also, the wonderful listmommy of the ferals list believes
absolutely that we can communicate, and always says things like tell
her her story, she loves to hear it because even if there's a language
barrier, our tone and body language are as plain for our animals to read
as theirs is for us to read.  One of my best friends is in England now,
and her 11-year-old stripey boy, Spike, will be joining her sometime
next month.  I'm helping his aunt he's been staying with get him into
the carrier for his last vet visit just before he goes, and you can bet
I will be talking to him about how he might have a scary day on the
plane (it's an animal transport flight, he will be in the main cabin
with other pets) but when it's over he'll be with his mom again.  And on
the day he flies, will I be vibing with all my might that he gets there
okay and isn't too scared? God, yes.

Since joining various cat groups, I've sort of come to believe in vibes
-- whether they're called vibes, or Kitty Cones of Power, or prayer, or
meditation.  Again, I'm not remotely sure they work, but there's more to
us than science knows about yet, our brains have powers we can't even
begin to tap, and if shooting a few seconds of positive energy, or
visualizing a light around a sick kitty, or whatever, might possibly
make a difference, why wouldn't I just do it.  Hell, I even vibe at
roadkill, just telling them I'm sorry they died because of one of us.

Do I believe that there's REALLY a place called the Rainbow Bridge where
pets go to wait for us?  I really want to.  It's a sweet, tangible and
comforting image, and if there's a Heaven, how could it be as great as
everybody says if there aren't joyous reunions with everybody we've
loved?  Rainbow Bridge is as plausible as a lot of other stuff we are
told but have no proof of.  And again, what's the harm?

Phaewryn, I'm sorry you're in such a bad place right now that you feel
the need to be hurtful.  You are free not to believe in any of this, and
even to think that those of us who do or who are at least open to it are
fools, but nobody here is using vibes, AC, meditations or the like
instead of sound veterinary care.  Sometimes somekitty just needs that
little extra thing to turn a corner, or to be found when lost, or to be
less stressed, and I figure there is no harm in seeking help from an
undefinable power, be it God or Gaia or the universe or the human mind's
will.

Then she may want to check on the spray RR.  I understand them not wanting 
anything in his stomach but RR drops???  However, rules are rules.
