Splendid placebo effect

My neighbour, the one with the aggressive cat, gave me some cream she had applied to her cat when she had bald patches. She suggested I try it on my cat too. I immediately did. The cat purred, so she didn't mind it, but I wasn't very successful in applying it afterwards. If I approach her when she is lying somewhere, she often jumps up because she thinks she can convince me to go to the kitchen and give her food. And, of course, she always lies on at least some of her bald patches. And sometimes I just want to leave her alone.

Strangely enough, her hair was starting to grow back, and she didn't seem to remove it as much. It looked like the most powerful placebo effect ever! There is no way the few blobs of cream I applied had all this effect. But I am really happy she almost looks like a normal healthy cat now. I have no idea what exactly was going on, but as long as it's getting better I am not complaining! And now I have to just hope it doesn't come back…

Beautiful healthy cat
