Ricochet

Ricochet (1991) IMDB rating: 5.70 Plot: Rookie Los Angeles cop Nick Styles is at a Los Angeles street fair, where hit man Earl Talbot Blake pulls a double cross on some drug dealers, killing four men. Minutes later, Nick shoots Blake in the knee, and Blake is grabbed by Nick's partner and best friend Larry Doyle. Nick becomes the focus of the media, thanks to an amateur cameraman's footage of Nick disarming Blake. Over the next few years, Nick's career takes off: he's offered a job in the district attorney's office, and his hip media style keeps him in the public eye. Nick marries a woman named Alice and they go on to have two daughters named Lisa and Monica. While Blake is in prison, he vows revenge on Nick. When Blake comes up for parole, he orchestrates a bloody escape — which includes faking his own death. Blake doesn't want Nick dead. He just wants Nick to suffer in spades. He wants to ruin Nick's life as completely as possible, and then have Nick sent to prison for murder so Nick will know how Blake feels. Blake begins his vendetta by killing city councilman U. B. Farris and planting evidence to make everyone think Nick and Farris are running an underage pornography ring. Blake then kidnaps Nick, forces him to take drugs and have sex with a prostitute, videotapes the whole thing, and then releases Nick. Nick tells everyone that it was Blake who kidnapped him, but everyone refuses to believe Nick because everyone thinks Blake is dead. That night, Blake breaks into Nick's house, and makes a threatening videotape with Lisa, Monica, and an ax in it, but Blake didn't actually do anything to Lisa and Monica. Nick is then suspended from the DA's office, with everyone thinking that Nick is mentally ill because he keeps saying that Blake is still alive. Blake then begins the final phase of his vendetta — he kills Larry and frames Nick for it. Blake also links Nick to misappropriation of public funds, specifically, the funds he's supposed to be raising for a children's center in a building at the base of the Watts tower. Nick is forced to turn to his childhood friend, gang leader Odessa, for help in clearing his name and stopping Blake once and for all.

Why do my cats shake?
Three of my cats - Secret, Vido, and Ricochet - seem to shake a lot. They're outside right now, but even when they were inside where it's warm they would shake. Secret is the oldest, and one of the older brothers of the other two. His brother is perfectly fine, but Secret seems to shake a lot. Sometimes he's just shaking, other times he tenses up and trembles. I brought him inside today and he still shakes. He's always done this, and he's always been sort of afraid of people unless we bring him in. Vido, the middle sister, was really loud and would shake a lot when she was born. Sometimes she does it now, but it's usually when I pick her up, which is hard to do because she doesn't really like people unless she's inside. Ricochet, the youngest, shakes a lot too. She was born near the end of summer, so she couldn't have been cold, but she always shakes. Ricochet isn't really afraid of people, either. And I just realized today that all of them are siblings and not half-siblings. Their mother and father, who are brother and sister, never shakes. All of Mittens's kittens, the mother of their half-siblings and their aunt, don't shake.
All three of them have short fur, and it's pretty odd colored. Secret has short brownish-orangish-skin-coloredish fur. It's hard to describe. Vido has dark silver short fur with dark gray stripes. Ricochet has black and brown short fur that really makes her stand out.
Is the shaking genetic or something? Nothing has ever really happened to them that hasn't happened to the others. All of them are outside with the others, and none of them are really attacked by anything. Well, Jet sometimes goes after Secret and Prowler, but they always end up fine. Vido is never attacked by the other females, and Ricochet is never attacked by her littermates and mother. Is it genetic or no?
I'm afraid Ghat taking them to the vet is out of the question because as soon as I asked my bitch of a mother, she immediately said no because she's too fugging cheap to 'waste money on a shaking cat' so I'm apparently the only one that actually gives half a damn about them. I care about them more than I care about my own family. So yeah... I really want to take one of tem to the vet, but considering I'm only 14, I can't.
By the way, Secret was born maybe two or three years ago, Vido maybe a year or two, and Ricochet last year.

If both parents had the recessive trait for whatever disease is causing them to shake, it could very well be genetic. I believe that your cats have the trait for some kind of neurological disease. Ask your vet if they can do test to see exactly which one it is.

I dont want to scare you but I had a kitty who shook sometimes as he was just laying on the couch. I never thought anything of it. he was a strictly indoor cat and was 1 year and 2 months old. He all of the sudden got VERY SKINNY and very sick so I took him in asap...and he passed away that day. I had to put him to sleep cause it turns out he had FIV, feline infectious perotonitis. It only occurs in 10% of cats that are 1-2 years old. I think you should get their shaking checked out because my doctor said i should have told him about it. Good luck
