My sister just called me and she is home from the hospital. She sounds SO much better than the other day when she could hardly breathe. Her daughter is staying with them and she has completely washed down her entire bedroom and everything in it and is shampooing the carpet in the whole apartment and just getting rid of all the dust and stuff that could trigger another spell like Sis had. I really feel like that is going to help more than anything because Sis has been feeling so bad for so long, she didn't have the strength to clean anymore. I think as long as the house gets cleaned GOOD like that on a regular basis, that the cats will not be a problem for her. Let's keep fingers, toes and paws crossed that this is all that is needed.

She has phnemonia (sp?) back in the fall and the doctor told her that is what caused this, that the phnemonia did not go away with the treatment she had for it and has been there getting worse and worse, but that she does has asthma.

rg.. this is funny. When Sis first got Fred, it had been SO many years since she had a kitten that she forgot the trouble they could get into and how active they are. She would call me and complain to high heaven about his antics and my answer to her was that he was just being a kitten and wasn't it so much fun to have one in the house again. Finally, she realized that was what was going on and began to enjoy his antics and started calling me bragging about what he had done now!! She said he is a good cat now and NO trouble at all, can even be every so sweet. She adores him and we never have a conversation that she don't have "Fred" story to tell me.
