Title: Another sneeze post
Post by: lisa77 on October 04, 2007, 10:01:55 AM
Leo is sneezing now.. well I think they are sneezes but not propper sneezes if you know what I mean ? Its not all the time just now & then.. It sounds like if you put your lips together & say the letter 'F' really quickly thats what it sound like (Not a propper sneeze)

I hope he hasnt got a cold ? also is it a myth or is it true that if a cat has a dry nose he is poorly ?

Thanks again

Do you know how many of us are sitting here actually trying to do that to see what it sounds like LOL  :rofl:

I think that dry nose thing refers to dogs, not cats.

and the dry nose thing with dogs is a bit of a myth too. Shadow often has a dry nose but is perfectly well. It if was dry and cracked I would be worried. But not-wet is a different texture... if you follow me. Oh, and the noise i make when I try to do that does not sound like a sneeze, unless it is coming from the wrong end of the cat :rofl:

Are you sure it is a sneeze? I thought Xanthe was sneezing until I realised she was asserting herself and spitting at me when play fighting.

I was trying to do that sound too  :rofl:  It's not a cough is it?  Like he's trying to bring up a furball?  Mosi makes a sound a bit like a cross between a cough and a sneeze when he has a bit of hair stuck in his throat.

well I'll admit that I did actually try that  :rofl:  Maybe he's just been sticking his nose in a dusty corner and had the sneezes.

Is Leo still sneezing, Lisa?  Or was it just a one off?

Na he is only doing it very occasionally.. I think its when the little monster hides from me under the kitchen units.. there are spiders webs & stuff that I think is making him sneeze !

It was funny last night.. a centipede crawled out from under them & he didnt know what to do.. it got away & came back but he just stared at it !!!!!
