"don't get a pet"
Agreed Mm. I have way too much respect for animals to cage them up in a human society for which they are not intended.
Now we have to give them our drugs, something proven not to work effectively on us ? They need checkups ?
And even so, if I were to capitulate, we are talking about an antihistamine here. Dammit, cats are the the cause of the need for antihistamines, not the recipients !

That's a good point, not only does it seem we cannot conduct our daily lives without the need for some kind of medication in pill form, we seem to believe if it's good for us, then, it is good for every living creature. Whether it is good or not, one thing is for certain, the drug companies are doing well out of it.
Understanding how drug companies arrive at a medication and then make it available, how do we know the medication is not causing further problems which create other conditions that need another cure. With human medicine, effectiveness and safety is arrived at by back reporting, what is the case with our loved animals, does anyone autopsy pets to find cause of death, is there any back reporting, how do we know what we believe is good for our little friend, what we are told by drug companies and those in their palm ? I say palm, for I refer to the practice of doctors of people and animals receiving freebies from suppliers. How often have you seen your Doctor using a pen with a drug company name on it, what about desk notepads and calenders and even those little desk toys, if getting them and proudly it seems advertising them, one has to ask, just what else is he receiving for promoting names. This goes for vets too.
Now does it occur, if a cat is not too keen to eat something it does not recognise the look of or smell of, it is going to be suspicious and there fight tooth and nail to stop it going inside of them, maybe the cat is right, perhaps it knows more than us dumb humans, it is just we have become well trained by those who say they do what they do because they care for us, whilst watching their profits.
Ever seen a cat self medicate, the eating of what we see as grass or weeds,I watched my cat mowing the garden and noticed what it was eating was basically herbs, the cat was self medicating for conditions that concerned it.
