Albert - Orange Tabby, 7-8 yrs old

My cat has always enjoyed catnip. He recently got over his second bout of pancreatitis. A few days later, he started a really bad cough which so far, we can only attribute to a bronchial infection (vet and myself). He also has been asthmatic AND has Allergies to some moulds (cladosporium) which is high in the late fall.

Recently he has started throwing extremely bad allergic fits (licking, scratching, head shaking, running from one end of the house to the other, jumping up and lying on anything smooth. He normally does this with an allergic reaction, but not this bad.

Normally, there is catnip on their (him and his sister Alices') climbing toy so it was always out. Last night, after playing with a catnip mouse in bed, before sleep (his normal ritual) he threw one of the worst fits I've ever seen, including yowling, up and down stairs (which exhausts him with his laboured breathing). It scared the bejesus out of me. He was up all night, but stayed on his pillow and would not touch the carpet.

In the morning, I put some more catnip out for them on their climbing toy after vacuuming it. About 15 minutes later, he had another fit.

I'm not sure if it's a combination of the flovent and catnip, the allergy pills and catnip, his anti-biotic and catnip or what (the poor little guy is on so many meds right now), but he hasn't even had much itching since I took it away. Perhaps he just developed an allergy to it due to the situation he's in.

Sorry for the long winded response. hope it helps. I am on anonymous, my email is kyle_hagerman at hot mail dot com.
