Fireworks - thankfully it's all over till New Year...
Hopefully.
Anyone in the UK with nervous pets will no doubt be welcoming the hopeful end of the Bonfire Night carryon which usually starts 2 weeks earlier and in many cases goes on way after the 5th as well. My cat has spent the last few nights in hiding behind the settee and not even the choice of sitting on the warm Sky+ box (normally banned to her) could tempt her out. I like to see fireworks - but not hear them. The day they make them silent, or with nothing louder than a 'fizzing' noise I suspect a great many people - and animals, will be most happy. Oh well. Not long till it all starts again for New Year. chas |

They've all been sitting in the window giving the fireworks marks out of 10! Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Add that to the Mercedes with the American accent (no disrespect intended) telling to stand away from the veee hic le (or that's how it sounds), all bloody night long. I wanted to go and smash it's windows to give it something to really moan about. I woke up and thought someone was in the house at first then I realised it was this car, if I find out who owns it.... |

It's now Monday evening, and I'm at work in Holborn, and the bangers
have just started again, honestly it's like a blimmin war zone in London at this time of year, grrr, I'm not a killjoy but I don't think people should be allowed to buy them until the week (or day) of bonfire night, it makes me mad to think about the cats and dogs suffering. |

Allergies can be lived with - as I found out.
I am very allergic to cats but love them too much not to be able to offer a good home to one in need. My current puss has affected the me the worst so far. (She is a short haired black cat). In fact, within 2 weeks of getting her I was seriously contemplating giving her back because I was so bad with the allergy. I had never realised it was the allergy until my doctor had me tested. However, having had a cat in my life for over 20 years I was not about to let an allegery win. I admit there are times when I wake up with my nose running, my eyes streaming and just sneezing. However, I live on a daily dose of anti histimines which helps - plus my bedroom is a cat free zone during the day. (It used to be cat free at night as well but after a real health scare with her when I thought I was going to lose her I let her have what she most wanted - which was to sleep with me). She is now over the health scare but erm... still sleeping with me! It's so nice to hear there are people who care about cats (and other animals) - even those who don't have one but who care enough to take one in during the fireworks. chas |

Generic Claritin saves me, plus frequent showers. Like you, my black cat is the one with the most potent allergens, be they in the dander or the saliva. I really notice it when I come home from a week out-of-town, when I stay in a hotel. (I mean I notice the reaction when I come home.) |

I had heard - probably incorrectly it now seems - that black cats were the
most allergyfree type cats? My last 2 cats were white or tortoiseshell and I did not suffer nearly as much with them. chas |
