Cats are ordinary people. They cuddle, and play, and sometimes get sick. They can even be allergic to some medication, anti flea medication, for example. It can itch so bad they scratch until they bleed.

What would the pluh gods do in such a situation ?

El duderino is more of a mouse person (as you may have figured thanks to his mouse users safety guide) , so he might have turned to Jarsh. Jarsh would have scared the allergy away with his ninja holiday hate warface. Rawrb would have offered the cat a good pint of beer and to started a game of Tetris with him to help him forget the itching. The boy would have arm wrestled the allergy, won, and stomped the allergy to death while the kitty would have meowed the whole Psychostick discography out of pure bliss. One day,  God went "let there be light", and Rawrb went "you forgot to say please". That's how powerful they are. I personally would have fed the cat antibiotics, but that's only because the chemist's is just down the street where I live. I'm still learning, you know ?

Anyway, none of them would have even thought about getting heavy duty grey duct tape and wrapped the cat's shoulders and back so that the goddamn feline would stop scratching, like on that cat that a Lancaster county vet found at his office with a note explaining why. The vet removed the tape by shaving the pussy cat.

...seriously, wtf ?
