Re: Squinty..

Well... she seems to be getting back to normal. But it's been a worrisome time. She still sneezes, but she's also more active [doesn't sleep quite so much; wants to go outside more]. She's also gone back to complaining when her food bowl is not as full as she would like it.
Personally, I still think she had a reaction to the allergy shots the vet gave her. Vet said "no" but, then, he's not a cat. Fever's strange, but maybe Jesse's right--reaction to strange stuff in her bod.
Speaking of strange stuff in the bod, did anyone read Michael Pollan's [long] essay, "Unhappy Meals," in the New York Times Magazine today? A good read. If you haven't, I urge you to; if you can't get it, I've saved it as a Word file and can send it.

I had a cat that did that once and thought it had a hold. It had an
allergy, which made it sneeze, then made it not feel good. I don't know
why that would bring the cat's temperature up....but I do know that I am 
a BIG allergy sufferer and sometimes I get a sinus infection from so
much aggrivation. Maybe that's Squint's problem.

Poor Squinty!  Extra prayer for the baby.  Keep us posted.
And poor you - I understand the getting torn up deal.  Been there.

Jim, what exactly did the vet say was wrong?  My vet says cats don't

get

colds.  Is it an infection or something?  Is Scaredy helping out

for
her? The boys and I will be sending good thoughts her way.

She'd been sneezing and kinda lethargic for a day and a half, so I

decided

to take her to the vet. Vet took her temperature--on a scale of

1-to-10,

an 8. Temp was high. Vet gave her a couple of shots. Then cleaned

her

ears--same scale, a 12. Since I was holding her, I donated a pint

of

blood

in the process. This evening she's sleeping on the settee in the

parlor

and not sneezing as much.

Poor baby and poor you...........I wonder what's causing it. I've never
heard of either a dog or cat getting a cold. Interesting.

I certainly hope she is feeling much better -- you, too.
