My cat is bipolar...seriously

[Aaron]

My cat (Pinball) has been acting really weird for the last few weeks. He's been meowing extremely loud (constantly), running away every time the door opens, and other eccentric things. He's 8 years old and never acted like this before. He was acting even wilder today, so I gave him a low dose of one of my hydroxyzine pills to sedate him long enough to get to the vet without him clawing my eyes out. They said he has some sort of mild infection, I forgot what. I jokingly told the doctor that he's acting like bipolar person during a manic episode, and the vet said there was a very good possibility that the infection was causing minor neurotic symptoms that can mimic human psychological disorders. He told me that Pinballs' neurotic symptoms were actually similar to human manic depression. His neurosis is only temporary, so the manic depressive symptoms should start to subside when the antibiotic starts taking affect.

My cat is bipolar. How awesome is that? I'm sure that this happens to animals all the time, but I was loling hard when he told me.
