:huh: Okay so here's my problem! :doh:

The other day in my A & P class we had to skin & disect a CAT! No big deal I thought!

Background info on me: I work as a fire fighter EMT for the last 6 years and still do it full time! I see and have seen alot of *crap*, nasty stuff & down right scary stuff in my days.

Back to topic: So as I began, with my partner who was basically flippin out, skinning this poor skinny cat I still thought it was no big deal. (I have a cat & I really didn't think this project was bothering me.) I went through the whole entire 3 hr lab class with out a hitch no problems (at least not on my end). My partner thats another story! :hysterical: I go home that night & have a few adult beverages & low N behold go to bed! As I sleep in my slumber I hear the screams of a (what else) CAT. I woke straight out of my sleep thinking it was another stray cat outside our door hollarin. (Again another story in itself.) However as I sat in bed looking around, my cat, the dogs & boyfriend laid dead asleep! Ok so I thought maybe a silly dream. Again fall asleep ~ same thing happens. I swear this time its coming from outside! Get up look around, nothing pee and head back to bed... Finally end the night with a horrific dream of this cat x 3 stuck in my ventalation system screaming at the top of its lungs! Day time when I wake up & refuse to go back to bed!

Next night ~ I lay sleeping & wake up to this "dream" cat jumping from my dresser & bouncing on me & screaming at the top of its lungs! GEEZZZ can't a women get some sleep... Fall back asleep same thing. Night continues like this.

Following night As in (real life) I'm visiting my brother and petting his cat. His cat is usually really nice & lovey ALL the time. Attacks me!! Scratches my arm, face & rips out one of my earings!

So apparently the disecting & skinning the cat in A & P class bugged me more then my regular life job does!! Out of all the crazy stuff I have seen humans do themselves & others I have never had nightmares about my job!

Or am I going crazy? LOL.

:popcorn: Hope you enjoyed my dreams... .LOL

Oh my gosh! You do mean that your brother's cat did that in real life, right? Did I read right?

Woah! And yes, it seems like you'd have had some other dreams somewhere along the way, right? Sounds like your project cat may have had some unfinished business here on earth. :D

The cat dissection was one of the hardest parts of nursing school for my mom, she said. Actual wounds and injuries didn't bother her, she could go right to work on it. Making wounds in a poor dead cat really did.

Yeah, I'd have to fail that class - no way would I be able to do that.

I love that palla - Kitty Karma!

I think you are haunted!!!!! Try to take a Tylenol PM and get some good hard sleep!!! Yikes!!! We had to do dogs and cats and in meats class had to slaughter animals!!! It was HORRIBLE!! I went to the first slaughter lab but conveniently got 'sick' during the next ones. . only labs I ever missed in college.

Thanks everyone! Yay my bro's REAL cat actually attacked me! LOL. I was so ticked off. Good thing is my kitter still loves me! He has no clue!

Kitty Karma is right! I'm totally freaked out & usually things like that don't bother me!

Adult beverages are gonna help me sleep tonight! LOL>

On that note i'm off to bed! I'll let you know how it goes!

Can't wait until the Pig lab comes. I might have to be "sick" on that! LOL

EWWWWW. The physical Education majors at the college I went to had to do the same thing for A&P. They would not have enough time in class so they would bring "Fluffy" back to their dorm room. All the non Phys Ed majors steered clear of their rooms!
