Karen,
I agree she was wearing way to much. I have the windows open (its 76 degrees here) and a fan running. The only candles I burn are apple and cinnamon ones. I tell you my pastors wife was very displeased about being asked to leave. She did not understand that my Sassy is treated just like a human family member and did not find it amusing when I told her that Sassy should not have to suffer in her own home. Skritches & Sniffles, KittyLady & Sassy |

If she's the wife of a pastor then she should understand about allergies, whether it's in humans or felines. And if she doesn't understand about not making a pet suffer, then I would question her sensitivity in general. |

KittyLady wrote: 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 Awwww, poor little thing. I have always taken to heart my mother's advice, a touch of perfume behind the ears and a touch on the wrist (only one, rub it to the other one). Never seemed to bother anyone, and I used to work with several highly allergic people. Anyway... For my own allergies, I've found that steam helps clear it up. You might try putting a humidifier in the bathroom with the kitty (I've got a warm mist one). Not sure why it works, but it does. Had a cat once (Piewackett, RB) who was allergic to human dander, and just prior to his monthly shot, he'd start sneezing and "blowing snot". I used a humidifier with him and it seemed to work wonders (helped his breathing too). Worth a try if you have a warm mist one. Smokie Darling (Annie) |

I have one of the humidifiers that they gave to my husband last year at
the hospital do you think that would help or just maybe turning on the hot shower in the bathroom? Skritches, KittyLady P.S the shower has full doors so she would not be able to get in the ho****er. |

Skritches, KittyLady P.S the shower has full doors so she would not be able to get in the ho****er. If the bathroom is small enough, the hot water running in the shower would work just as well. Don't leave her in there too long with it that way though, that produces alot of steam in a very short time. I'd think less than 5 minutes (water running) depending on the size of the bathroom, then turn it off and allow the steam to settle (don't want her overheating). You may want to sit in there with her, since the sound of the shower might scare her if she's alone. When one of my little beasties has a cold, I'll have them in the bathroom (except Smokie, the snot) while I shower, but that isn't completely hot water. Smokie isn't allowed in the bathroom cuz showers are fun, and she likes jumping on my head (ever tried explaining *those* scratches to a doctor?). Smokie Darling (Annie) |

Skritches & Sniffles, KittyLady & Sassy Hmm. Well, you could say it is *you* that have the allergies. At any rate, she was in the wrong as she should not have been wearing that much perfume at all. |

Dan M wrote in message ... Which reminds me of an "etiquette" rule from my mother a bout a hundred years ago. (Does anybody remember when they taught etiquette in high school to the girls? LOL) "No one should be able to smell your perfume unless they are invading your personal space. Your perfume should never invade theirs. " I like that! What an elegant way to express it. Dan I do too. I wish some of the members of the public would use LESS perfume. I'm not especially sensitive or allergenic, but a blast of too-sweet cheapo perfume can definitely invade one's airspace. Even good perfume can quickly feel like "too much " when used with abandon. At work, we're told when in doubt, don't use perfume, as we serve the public, and we never know if we might serve a person who IS allergic. Melissa |

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. I have a sense of smell that rivals my cats', and when I was allergic to wheat, the smell of a bakery would make me vomit. One day the teacher served cookies in class and I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom to vomit, and spent the rest of the class next to the garbage pail as the lingering smell continued to make me ill. Basically, I think that since the perfume makes your cat ill, you are justified in asking your pastor's wife to leave, providing you did so politely, and that you explained why (so that next time she visits she can avoid wearing it). If she is offended, well, she isn't the one dealing with a sick cat, so tough titty said the kitty. *** Personally I love to wear fragrance, but once I learned that fragrance can make people ill, I now do not wear it to school or work. I sincerely hope my underarm-deodorant doesn't affect people that way (I have one kind that smells like berries, another that is a body spray) and so I hope that unless people have their noses in my pitties, they won't be bothered....but then again, I could smell a cookie across a room back in the day. Oddly, now that I am no longer allergic, I do not notice the baking-smell nearly so much, because it is no longer oppressive. I can eat donuts, cake, sandwiches, etc now but I still have no desire to do so...I just don't find the taste appealing, and as for things like dutchies, I find them downright nasty. --Fil |

Captain and Stanley here. You sound like our Meowmie. She gets the sneezies and says it's because Al R. Jeez is visiting. We can't see him, but Meowmy insists he's here. She said someone named Paul N. brings him, and Paul N. comes from flowers. We can't see Paul N., either. Meowmy said he's in the air. We didn't know hoomins could fly. (Unless you give them a Cold Wet Nose on their bare foot while they're sleeping. Then hoomins fly real well, heeheehee!) Anyway, Paul N. and Al R. Jeez are annoying to Meowmy and they make her sneeze, so she doesn't like when they're around. That's when she thinks about inviting Auntie Hiss Tamine to get rid of them. But we don't know what SHE looks like, either, since we can't see her when Meowmy says she's here. Meowmy also says the auntie makes her sleepy, so she doesn't like to invite Auntie Hiss Tamine. But she says that sometimes, that's the only way to get rid of Paul N. and Al R. Jeez. But if you get a lot of visits from Al R. Jeez, maybe your Meowmy can call Auntie Hiss Tamine for you. Maybe she can ask TED to figure out if the auntie visits kitties. You never know. Purrs for you to feel better, Captain and Stanley |
