Cats Get Asthma?

Hello most humans and many others,

Mr. Mushu was really sick last week. He had a really runny nose and was sneezing and sounded like a truck without a muffler when he breathed. (Missy Linda said that about the truck. I don't even know what a muffler is.) Anyway, he was sick enough to go to the vet.

It turns out that Mr. Mushu has asthma. Missy Linda said that she thought that cats just caused asthma. She had never heard of that before. I think there are probably more than a few things that Missy Linda has never heard of. Anyway, he also has an infection right now which has to be treated with pills.

Oh, my. You cannot even imagine the carrying on and the hollering sometimes when it's pill time---and that's just Missy Linda. I think, though, that they are finally getting the routine worked out better. I haven't seen as many scratches on Missy Linda the last day or two.

Missy Linda is hoping that Mr. Mushu will not require more medicine after this batch of pills. She said that she is not going to learn to use an inhaler on a cat!
