(The cat was fine...)
This sounds horrible, but I've got to get this out or I'll keep reliving it, so now you are giving me therapy. (Bill me.)
One of my cats is older and she doesn't love to eat, so we are always trying to get her to eat more. I worry about her and if I don't see her for a bit, I go looking. She's very quiet. Once in awhile she gets allergies and coughs. I was sitting here working on "the book" today and I heard this weird cough. I started looking for the cat and I heard the cough become a weird wheeze. It sounded like the last breaths of life. I panicked and started calling the cat, which drowned out the sound. That failed since my cats don't come running on command even when things are normal! The wheezing got louder and I tracked it carefully. I finally realized it was the DUMB DOG. OK, the dog is not dumb, she's really smart, but she's a baby and acts pretty dumb at 4 months. She was perfectly healthy and fine. She had fallen asleep in her crate with her nose and mouth stuffed into her towel/bed. Apparently it restricted her breathing just enough to make her wheeze like a dying cat, but not enough to make her wake up and STOP. I sat down and let the relief wash over me as the not dying cat walked in and glanced at me, clearly laughing her ass off. Jerk. i was worried! Ok, now I can sleep. Thanks! P.S. Speaking of cats, I have to recommend a product that I just tried and plan to use again. If you have anyone in your house with allergies, I haven't tried this on other pets but on cats, it reduces the chances of allergic reactions like crazy. You can buy it through my affiliate link (which I greatly appreciate) or you can buy it on Amazon or at other stores if you prefer to get it on your own. It really does work, though. We use Allerpet on our cats!Comments are closed.

AuthorMost of the good stuff about Maddie "Be Yourself" Gee is on the About page, but that page got out of hand. Don't go there. Maddie is an animal expert, a crazy person, and a writer. Full Disclosure - this blog does have Amazon affiliate links in it for products that Maddie likes. Your use of the Amazon links is greatly appreciated, but the intent is just to help keep things running and offer giveaways. You are welcome to search for the items elsewhere if you prefer it.

Legal and other weird disclosures that people want us to make: This is a condensed version. If you really want to read the long version, see it on the About page. This is a personal blog owned by Maddie. Other people sometimes author guest posts or other content. No one gets paid a salary to work on this. It costs us something to run it since prizes are given away (and we get rare donations but we usually pay for the prizes ourselves) and we spend time and cash on creation. We are not paid directly for the reviews themselves, we do it because we want to comment. So, to complete this goofy disclosure statement, we have a material connection with most or all of what we talk about because that's just how our lives work and how we made this blog.
