Sassy dosen't feel well
I use to wear white Diamonds Purfume, until the vet and I fiqured out
that there was something in it that Sassy was allergic to. When i would wear it she would sneeze, cough and have runny eyes. Well to get to my point my pastor and wife came for a visit last night (my youngest is getting over chicken pox) and I noticed that Sassy's eyes were watering and that she was starting to sneeze. Turns out that the pastors wife was wearing that same purfume. Sassy being the love bug that she is was not happy when I shut her up in the master bath (and rightfully took it out on the TP). My baby is still feeling pretty funky (sneezing alot and has itchy looking eyes). So was I rude to have asked my company to leave? I did email my vet but he says for me to watch her for any signs of infection but more than likely it would clear on its own. So does anyone here have any suggestions for getting my love bug past this? P.S. My living room still reaks of the purfume. Skritches and Sniffles, KittyLady and Sassy |

Absolutely not! Some humans (like me) are allergic to lots of perfumes, so it's pretty much common courtesy to wear very little or no perfume when visiting others. Dan |

Skritches and Sniffles, KittyLady and Sassy If your pastor's wife came over last night, and this morning your LR still reeks of perfume, she was wearing *wayy* too much. I don't have a sense of smell, so that's my worst fear--that I'm going to be walking around smelling like a French cathouse and be totally oblivious. I would want someone to tell me, in a kind way of course. Raise some windows, and get that stink outta there!! Purrs for Sassy's little nose. Sherry |

Skritches and Sniffles, KittyLady and Sassy Wow, if your living room STILL reeks of perfume, the lady was wearing way too much. Since Sassy is sensative to that she is probably sensative to other things. I"d be careful of scented candles, air fresheners etc. And I can highly recommend those stand alone HEPA air filters that you can get at Target and similar stores. I have a Holmes 650. Works great. |

From one scent-challenged catperson to another, having no sense of smell sucks, doesn't it? When I have to go a couple days between truck stops with showers I'm always afraid that my BO will stink from 50 feet away without my being aware of it. Dan |

Unfortunately I think society has forgotten what common courtesy is!

I am always paranoid about the litterbox and constantly asking people if the house smells like I have cats. Or asking DH if the milk smells bad. On the positive side, I can clean up *anything* and never gag. Sherry |
