[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 738599, member: 18958"] 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. [/QUOTE]
