I could rant about how fucked up it is that birth control keeps getting put on the market without proper testing.

It would be a pretty ignorant rant, though, so I'll refrain.

Felgraf: First off, sorry you're going through some horrible shit. 23 and suffering a stroke due to unknown (or undisclosed) medical side effects is inexcusable.

Isn't the manufacturer, whether Bayer or whomever, still possibly liable?

Comcast didn't even make it a week before fucking things up.

Cut off my cable because the people that lived in the house before us had an outstanding bill. On a different account and in a different name.

To unlock it they want:
A copy of my license
a copy of my social security card
and a copy of my mortgage showing I own the property now.

I told them if they want me to send ANY of that they are off their rocker.

Completely didn't remember that a box I set on my counter had elastic on it, so I get home and there are only tiny bits of elastic left and I think one of the cats probably ate it.

I guess this is another three days of freaking the fuck while I wait and see if any problems crop up.

They are both acting normal for now. I, on the other hand, feel sick with worry.

That is something my cat has totally done. You need to get some kitty laxative - it is a tube with a bunch of ointment-like substance and it is typically tuna flavored. My cat loves it and it pushed many things safely through his system (bandaids are a particular favorite of his). Cuts down on hairballs too. Just follow the directions on dosing and it should be fine. The vet will have it for under $20 for a tube that will last you years. The regular stores have a cheaper version that I haven't tried.

Don't worry at all unless you see the cat stop pooping, stop eating, or doesn't stop puking (a little is fine, especially if any elastic comes up).

So far they're both just sleeping so nothing out of the ordinary yet. They both ate all their dinner, too. I have to go to the vet to get more food anyway, so I'll look for the laxative there tomorrow.

Its tough paying attention to who is and isn't using the litter box when there are two of 'em. Will try to pay attention to that anyway.

Thanks for the advice! I hope it's just me freaking out over nothing.

If you can't track the poop, check the food. Cats will not eat if they aren't pooping too.

Cats eating non-edibles is bad but it isn't something to really worry about without any extra symptoms. Thread and magnets are something to worry about but bandaids and stuff are not great but not typically lifethreatening. Them sleeping is a good sign. Just keep an eye on their food and poop. And do the laxative. It has made a huge difference with Decibel and has pretty much eliminated his tiny throwing up spots (that were probably due to hairballs even though he is a short hair cat...).

The worst non vet requiring thing that can happen there is having to pick elastic out of your cats butt when it gets stuck. Sad

I had a dog who had many a rubber ball ....removed.

Sometimes they eat my hair and something similar happens (that was an unfun adventure, kitty was unhappy, I was unhappy, poop everywhere, gah)... Never heard of a cat dying from eating a little hair, though, so it doesn't induce anxiety quite the same.

The laxative helps with that too!!

I sort of just want to crawl up into a ball and roll away forever.
