Abbie, its too funny that you posted this! The Dr. says he thinks its allergies. I didn't know animals could have allergies. I told DH the cats are allergic to him because he is allergic to them! And I tried saying they are allergic to our apartment so now we have to buy a house. That didn't work. It was worth a shot! lol Anyway, I have been doing some heavy duty cleaning here and combined with the heat and dryness of winter, he thinks that's it. Glad its nothing serious. My one cat did try to eat the vet tho. It was amusing because he was purring away in the waiting room and then flipped when the dr came in. He only loves his mom.

kelly thats good to know its nothing serious and how weird i just told you that! glad to hear they are ok!

 

my girl cat pretty much only loves me too my boy cat is a big fat lover boy to anyone who will look at him, but if you try to pet hiz big fuzzy tummy when he flops on his side and shows it to you, he will attack!!!!! then he is all teeth and kicking back feet

I'm happy to hear that everything is ok with your kitties!! I never knew Cats can have allergies, which is silly for me to think like that, since my Dog has Horrible allergies! :-(

But Glad it's nothing serious!!

My Cat is a female who only loves me as well :-) Although if I am petting her and I don't get the "Hint" that she's done with me, she will bit...Just hard enough for me to curse her out and she runs away...LOL Feel the love!! She is still bitter at me for getting the dog I'm sure..But it was 2 years ago, get over it! LOL

I am happy to hear that everything is fine....

 

as for pets having allergies...

 

Jack our dog - can only eat lamb and rice based foods because essentially he gets dog acne all over himself. He also cannot touch any pork based product he gets violently ill.... these stories are gross.

 

Turk our cat - looses his fur every 6-8 weeks down the middle of his back (like the reverse of a skunk) and we have to take him to the vet every 6-8 weeks for a 'vetcortyl' shot...

 

YEH, Pets can have allergies... believe me!

So, its looking like its not allergies afterall. The cough continues and now one has a runny nose. So, I went to the vet this morning and got some antibiotics. Hopefully that clears it up!
