"Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a lot of ailments,
but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia."
Joseph Wood Crutch
When Sadie was a kitten, before we brought her home, she had a respiratory infection.
The shelter told us they were treating her and we could take her home when she was healthy...
We got her home and she's been a comedienne, Osama Bin Kat terrorist, and
sweet cuddle kitty...
Well...when we had the fires up by Shaver Lake and the one in Yosemite...
she started sneezing a lot...
I changed her litter from the dusty clay stuff to some stuff made out of corn
that's supposed to be dust free...
but she still sneezes morning and night...
Sooo yeah...I took her to the vet today...worried that she might have some
dreaded respiratory disease...
Lungs were clear...
no temperature...
Yep...just like mom...
she's got allergies!!!
Have you ever had a cat with allergies???
Linking to...
Ohhh Sadie look so much like the cat we had on Our farm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Picture of her
Never heard of a cat With allergies but hear more and more about dogs that have.
Wish you Both a great thursday
Hugs from Siv
Thanks Siv-Anita!!!
DeleteNever heard of it. But I must say that I love your photo of Sadie.
ReplyDeleteThanks LOL!!! I never really thought about it...never had a cat or dog with allergies!!!
DeleteNo, but we have a 11-yr-old dog with allergies and she has been a rather expensive pet over the ten years we've had her. Next time, we're getting dog insurance. Your bitty kitty is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSadie earns her keep around here...she's a great mouser!!! She loves to go in the garage after dinner and rid the premises of those nasty little critters!!!
DeleteAww, that's too bad, I have never heard of an animal with allergies. That's a nice photo of Sadie, she looks like she's about to fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteI think she was about to fall asleep Woody!!!
DeleteShe's gorgeous. Hope all is well with her - and yes, I've heard of pets that have allergies.
ReplyDeleteOther than a fair amount of sneezing periodically...she apparently is fine!!!
DeleteMy sister had a cat allergic to fleas. Poor kitty
ReplyDeleteFlea allergies I totally get...but never heard of hayfever type allergies!!!
DeletePretty kitty. Hope the allergens are identifiable and controllable, for you both.
ReplyDeleteThe doc recommended children's benedryl while in allergy season...go figure!!!
Deletesøt og pen cat ! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a face! Did the vet suggest benadryl?
ReplyDeleteYep!!! children's benadryl!!! Since she doesn't do meds well, I haven't tackled that yet!!!
DeleteI know every time I come to your blog lately I mention Boz, but you ask for it because you keep posting pictures of your pets.
DeleteBoz tended to get histamine tumors so he took antihistamine (we gave him the generic Benadryl). The pet will get drowsy at first but they build a tolerance.
Benadryl is diphenhydramine hcl. It's the same thing that's in non-habit-forming sleep tablets. Just buy what's cheapest.
Takk Dirk!!!
ReplyDeleteAllergies, huh?
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a sweetie!
She's an absolute sweetie when she isn't terrorizing our older cat William!!! And now she's a sneezing sweetie!!!
DeleteNot yet:) But our dog has allergies and gets benadryl (or zyrtec) - she loves peanut butter so we hide it in a bit of pb and let her lick it off a spoon. Your kitty has such a sweet face, hope she feels better in time!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried benadryl yet LondonLulu...but I may try it this weekend!!!
ReplyDeletePoor Sadie! She sure is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteWe do have a cat with allergies. Because of his medications for that and another issue, we have to take him with us on almost all of our travels. He snores like a sailor, and is always itching. As soon as we get home from where we are now, it's back to the vet he goes for some different medication.
Oh my!!! I hope Sadie's allergies don't get any worse!!! Our other kitty, Cleo snores too!!!
ReplyDeleteSadie is toooooo gorgeous Chieftess...attichooo! Yes I have heard of dogs and cats with allergies, but I'm sure Sadie will be fine, might just be at certain times of the year..did I mention how cute she is :)
ReplyDeleteShe's definitely a cutie PerthDP!!! Her sneezing is very minimal now...the weather's definitely changing...and I think the new cat litter really made a difference...
