Allergic cat doctor reveals his secrets
by BARBARA
WATERHOUSE
for The Post
"There
is
something
humorous in the idea of a
veterinarian being allergic to
cats and dogs, but here I am,
an allergic cat doctor.”
D r. Louis J. Camuti has
w ritten his memoirs as a cat
doctor fo r the past 60 years in
a lively book, “ A ll My
Patients Are Under the
Bed.”
Siamese cats seem to have
had
the
most
bizarre
behavior. There was Holly
who loved to have herself
vacuumed all over. Bunker
only ate Japanese crab meat.
Chiula was an exceptional
patient, a very passionate
husband and an affectionate
father. He was in "flagrante
delicto” w ith his sixth wife
when
he
just
toppled
o v e r. . . an
appropriate
ending to his action-packed
life.
Mr. Cat, a non-Siamese,
was the original cat burglar.
He’d come and go through
the bedroom window. He
often came back w ith a
souvenir of his travels — a
(H AAR P) and a tax relief
program open to senior
citizens. Appointments are
a must and may be ob
tained by calling 668-5569.

His owner never knew where
M r. Cat went, so he could
never return the loot.
Tailless Tom was the pet of
the 102nd Medical Regiment.
Mess hall inspection was his
job. I t was a big job, because
there were 11 mess halts for
the enlisted men and two fo r
the officers.
He had his favorite kitch
ens. Those he ignored tried
desperately to lure him over,
as though he was in charge of
the Duncan Hines Seal of
Approval. When he died, he
was placed in a sm all casket
and buried in the front yard
of the arm ory while a
m ilita ry salute was fire d in
his honor and ‘‘Taps’ * was
sounded. He was a great cat
and a good soldier.
Balaban had a mad crush
on Gregory Peck. He liked to
watch Gregory Peck film s,
but only the scenes w ith Peck
not receive packets can get
copies at the Sandy post
office, revenue department
offices and at many banks.
The
state
revenue
department and the federal
Internal Revenue Service
w ill offer assistance jointly.
‘ ‘1 m ight have broken all
records fo r mileage covered
by a veterinarian if I had
answered a wire I received
from Charlotte and Joseph
Kesslring — he wrote the
play ‘Arsenic and Old I^ c e .’
‘ ‘They requested that I fly
to Ita ly to treat their sick cat.
‘F iddle’ was an ordinary cat,
“ I called my cardiologist,
but he said it was too risky
fo r me. He didn't change his
mind when I told him that he
was invited too, but we did
figure out what our tim e and
a ll the expenses of a 48-hour
trip to treat Fiddle would
have cost them. I t came to
approxim ately $7,000.
‘ ‘The next day I received a
cablegram from Naples. My
suggested course of treat
ment had worked. Fiddle had
buried my European trip in
her k itty litte r.”
