She had it.


We are home. And wiped.


This is the latest installment. On cell. Brief.


This is m: it will kill her if she comes home and we don't let her sleep with us. She will die of a broken heart. I would have preferred she die with us. Untreated, and secure in our love for her. Investigate the risks to us. I'm old. I don't care about sterility.


So. The internet talks mainly in terms of giving orders, commands. You shall not let your cat closer than 3' for more than x number of hours a day. Etc.


But this is also true. Cats receive only 2 percent of the dosage humans get and there are no quarantine requirements for humans. Cats in my state are quarantined 3 Days.


Two historical facts.  One. When I was young the risks to x-rays were not known. They were given routinely for everything.


And. I did not know this. It is posited that the majority of breast cancer risk to women in the last part of the 20th century was due to this.

We are permitted in the USA 620 milli rems of exposure to x-rays on an annual basis. Radiation workers are permitted 5000 milli rems.


A cat coming home emits .5 milli rems at 1' distance from thyroid per hour.


A chest x-ray gives 10 milli rems exposure.


I do not want cancer. But I agree with m. Thoughts??


Thank you people. I am so grateful to have you.
