I've got something a bit more worrisome, a sneezing cat, like yesterday and today, On Thursday I'm calling The Barstow Humane Society to see how much it'll cost Me to take Her in for a diagnosis & treatment, I think She caught something from the dumped cat litter next door, maybe, if she went near it the one time She got out a few weeks back and away from Me that is, I wish I could get Her to blow Her nose, but Grace doesn't understand that, nor will She understand or like the car ride. Sigh, I get done with one problem almost and this comes up. Well the plastic v-strip weatherstripping will have to wait some.

These were my choices for the Royal Baby, but I didn't get a chance to send them. I respectfully submit Percival/Penelope Sweetwater, depending upon gender.

I found the old and beatup cat carrier, a dog(Thelma) I know of did the beating up, the dog used it as a chew toy at one point, but its out, I wish I'd known of feliway spray, supposedly it will make the cat more amenable to traveling to and from the vet or elsewhere, She hasn't been finishing Her dinner lately.

She needs to go to the vets pronto Vic, you must know that, cat flu is dangerous. You can get cardboard cat carriers for almost nothing.

The carrier will as is do, soon I'm going to be calling, but right now something else wants My attention, don't ask please.

I think Grace is getting better, since She has sneezed less today than yesterday or the day before and Her symptoms do follow a cold as I've read Here, on the upper part that is less serious, but then She has not had any Coughing or more serious symptoms at all. Under Comfort Measures, I don't have a vaporizer, but I do have a swamp cooler and a warm place away from drafts, the bedroom where She and I sleep, which is where She is now. Plus She does drink water whenever She eats Her dry food, which She hasn't slacked off of at least, tooth problems could also cause sneezing in cats, I don't think Grace has any tooth problems thanks to Her continuing to eat Her dry food as that requires some crunching ability, which I hear I all the time when She eats Her dry food, plus She doesn't have bad breath.

I always got clues about my kids health by testing their
body temperatures. The body temperature of a cat is
between 38 and 39 °C. Try to do the pulse rate a couple
times to see if you can get an undisturbed rate.
A normal cat heart rate ranges from 140 to 220 beats
per minute, and is largely dependent on how excited
the cat is. For a cat at rest, the average heart
rate usually is between 150 and 180 bpm, about
twice that of a human (average 80 bpm).
Good luck with it.
Aside:
My resting heart rate has never gone over 70 BPM, ever!

She's only sneezed once or twice today, I haven't seen Grace since Her dinner. Speak of the devil, here She is now, She's eating Her dinner.
