Allergic Cats

Here is what we found out about our peculiar behavior. The vet says what we have is an allergy. Both of us seem to be allergic to flea bites. She was baffled, because we never go outside, but the guy says fleas can sneak in when they are too hot outside. That also explains the big bugs that He has seen in here lately. Here is the weird part. It is not just the fleas biting us that makes us itchy. When fleas bite, they have a liquid around their biters, and that is what we are being so uncomfortable about. What causes our change in behavior is our discomfort, and trying to get away from the itch. If you have ever had something itching you, you know what I mean. It is enough to drive a guy crazy. There is some regular medicine He and She can give us that we can try before the vet has to give us shots, and He will get that for us today. My itch is worse than Kasey's, but Kasey has been doing something really new, and He and She are quite chuffed. Kasey has been getting on His lap while They watch TV, and giving Him snuggles, like I do to Her. He and She couldn't believe their eyes when she first snuggled on His lap, but it has happened three days in a row. After all these years, it took fleas to change Kasey's behavior. I guess we could learn a lesson from that. Sometimes you take every kind of care, and still you get bites, but sometimes there is a smile in there someplace. I know that I am ready to smile about having fish for our dinner. Smile, everyone.
