Long story short, daughter is doing a science project and needs both blood
pressure and pulse readings of people prior to and after petting a cat. You
would need to pet the cat for about 5 minutes. Doesn't have to be exact.
If you have a BP cuff and can send me the results, she would appreciate it.
The logistics of finding people who are willing to do this before she needs
to turn it in (Wed.) are proving to be a lot more difficult than
anticipated. Thanks to anyone who can help her! If you don't want to put
your results here, you can email me.

What kind of cat? A wild cat, a mountain lion, a plain old angry house cat? We need more facts, ma'am.

It may be of comfort to you to know that I used to pull this kind of shit on projects when I was going to school too - but I doubt it.

Good luck on this research. If all else fails, just make up fake data. Believe me, your daughter will learn more about how this world works by going that route.

More accurate results might be obtained at a cat house.

Don't know where that would be. We do have a pet store that normally has
cats but at present they only have one older one that is fearful of people
and doesn't much like to be petted until she knows the person. So luck is
against us at the moment.

Yeah. I think we may have found enough people now but not sure we can
depend on the high school kids. I could think of many other things she
could have done that involved only the cats and not people but... At this
age, they don't listen to the parents.

Yeah. We know lots of people with dogs. Not so many with cats.

Can't help you as I don't have that gadget, but bet my BP is low right

Oh boy. Gotta wonder why, since Julue has cats and apparently every
medical issue on the planet, her daughter can't conduct this "science
project" at home. She's probably too busy driving electric shopping
carts at Target.

Imagine the Method section of the report..... got my mother to ask
people on the internet to send their blood pressure figures.

Too bad it is not a psychology class. She could do a case study without
leaving the house.

I would think the experiment would work better with dogs than with
cats.

there's this new technology that would help you find them...it's called
the internet or even a phonebook or worst case I'm sure any local
hospital would know...but then you'd have to find one

just out of curiosity, how long has she known about this science project?

I can't even imagine what sort of science class experiment this is. Why
would a teacher ask people's kids to find people with cats and take
their blood pressure?

Perhaps but... The parameters of the experiment was that it had to involve
something that she liked. And she likes cats.

They each had to come up with their own hypothesis. Could be that there is
a dog one. Her friend is doing something about how well or not well people
sleep.

I got a special treat this morning! Jetta (the feral) was sleeping at my
feet. She's really Angela's cat so almost always sleeps with Angela. But I
woke up to find her at my feet. I then turned the other way, put my head
next to her and petted her for a while. She was really sleepy. Just kept
on sleeping and purred. That rarely ever happens.

Then of course, Jazzy got jealous and hopped came down to that end of the
bed. She normally sleeps by my side, if not on top of me.

Because we can't find people to come over. Yes we have three people here
and for sure I will be picking up two kids from school on Mon. But it is
hard to get kids to do it. Most of her friends have jobs now and many also
have other activities.

She thought she could have one family that lives behind my mom to do it.
That would be 6 people right there but... They went out of town today. And
we can't really go over there Mon. or Tues. because it is in a different
city and we have to be here due to other commitments.

A big part of the problem is that she didn't get started on this sooner.
Somehow in her mind she thought she had a long time until it was due. But
she was wrong.

So? She doesn't personally have to use the cuff on them although she will
be doing it on some.

She will be taking that next year. Family psychology no less. We can't
wait!

He didn't. The kids were supposed to come up with their own experiment and
they had to base it on something that they liked. I tried to talk her into
doing something else. The one I did when I was her age was stolen from the
neighbor girl who was older than me. She grew green beans in her bedroom.
One with a standard plant light. One with a blue light. One with a red
light and one upside down. As you can imagine, the one with the plant light
did the best. As you can also imagine, I didn't get very many beans to eat.

But she did a similar experiment in the 4th grade where she attempted to
grow nasturtiums, giving some water and others some other liquid like
lemonade or tea. Alas, she did this outside and that year we had horrid
rain. Nothing grew at all except for a lot of mold.

The only people I know who use phone books are the elderly. And hospitals
would not know this. Trust me on this, I know. The place where my mom is
moving to does allow pets. I know of one woman with a dog. Don't know of
any cats but then... I don't know too many people there yet.

Don't know but she didn't know of it when the others did because she was out
sick. The teacher didn't bother to tell her about it until I wrote to him
and said something about the missing assignment. So likely the other kids
were given more info. on it than she was and... The teacher also had some
sort of disconnect on that. I won't get into that but it took many emails
and her having to stay after school twice. Only after she stayed for the
second time did he say, "Oh yeah! You DID do that part!

I don't know if the teachers at her school are overworked or what but... I
have had trouble with them all year. We are supposed to check a part of the
website to see how their grades are coming along. Most of the kids show as
having failing grades most of the time because it is to some extent an
automated system. The teachers don't upload things to it so it shows as
missing assignments or tests or quizzes or whatever. Same thing happened in
Jr. High. But this year they dismiss the kids early on Wed. so the teachers
can catch this up. And yet, most of them don't.

What about people who are allergic to cats?

That's a whole nother tough science-research homework project for

A bright ambitious student would submit comparisons..how about
measuring pulse rate when petting a spider.

Could be tricky if she has to find a family she likes.

That doesn't fit the parameters of the experiment and the science teacher
doesn't allow the use of spiders for anything. These days there are so many
rules as to what they can and can not do in school. For instance, they can
not do an experiment involving caffeine as that is a drug.

Why indeed, as if they could even expect kids to have access to a BP
monitor. Congratulations to the group for getting sucked into the
vortex of Julie's bullshit once again.
