There are a number of reasons cats can lose hair: ringworm and feline
acquired symmetrical alopecia (which is a fancy way of saying "cats
losing their hair") being two of them that can clear up with no other
action being taken by the person. Was there some particular reason

you

decided to not go with the "get to a vet" advice?

I already mentioned I wanted to "play" with nature.

There are other
things that can cause hair loss in cats that will result in the cat
dying. Looks like you got lucky. And, just out of idle curiosity,

if

the cat(s) had died, would it have been because a) you made a bad
choice, b) that particular prayer was unsuccessful for whatever

reason,

c) prayer just doesn't work, d) it was just "god's will" to call them
kittens home.

I wouldn't have waited that long.

Well, if that's the case, why medicate when you can just wait a

while longer

and let the body heal itself?


Because most people (and animals) don't enjoy dealing with the

symptoms

while that happens. Ever have a headache? A cold? The flu? Ever

take

any over the counter meds to feel better? Let's say you suffer from
angina. The doctor prescribes nitro tablets. They don't do anything

to

cure the condition, but it's much nicer than suffering through a

severe

chest pain. Such chest pains can also result in breathing difficulty
which can set off a whole 'nother set of problems (particularly in

the

elderly). So, they've received a medication that won't cure the
problem, but allows them to be more comfortable and can help prevent
other problems from occurring.

What are antibiotics for?

I try, but they laugh at my arguments even though I give them what

they ask

for every time. That's weird, huh?


And by the way. I have "done a little research". No, you haven't
answered my question. To refresh your memory it was, "Have you ever
done any sort of double-blind experiment to see if your power of

prayer

actually works in a meaningful way?" A yes or no would do just fine,
thanks.

Oh. No - I don't remember the question, and no, I have never done a
double-blind experiment myself.
