    My cat takes Prozac for depression. I take Adderall for ADHD. I was once running on about an hour of sleep after work and school, was frantically racing around getting my shit together so I could run out the door to get to another 16 hour shift of work, grabbed his Prozac and my Adderall, kneeled down to pop his Prozac in at the same time I popped my Adderall and damned near made a VERY horrible error. Taught me to slow the fuck down.

        Thankfully the cat did not get the Adderall. He does not need the Adderall. Luckily I went to take my pill first so I had an extra hand free to pop his mouth open and as I was putting it in my mouth my brain kicked in and went “why is your Adderall blue and not pink?” That’s when I realized that I was about to take his Prozac and give him my Adderall. The last thing I need is to be more tired and the last thing he needs is to be more hyper.

        A new coworker recently asked me the age of my cat. When I told him my cat is almost 10 he said “aw, that’s so sweet, you have a nice calm senior cat.” I got home from work and that night my cat was being his normal self, tearing all over the apartment, laying on his back flipping his toys around and ferociously trying to murder them, and “helping” me sort paperwork by grabbing random papers from the stacks and running away with them. I couldn’t stop laughing, I was like hey bud, didn’t you know you’re supposed to be a calm senior?

          Thank you. I have to say I’m a bit disappointed but I’m glad your cat is happy and well!

          Our cat is around 15 years but very sick unfortunately.

            Oh, I’m so sorry about your cat! It’s so hard when they’re suffering. I cry just thinking about the inevitable end someday, I don’t know how I’m going to get through it when it happens, my cats are all I have.
