Cissy has been struggling for weeks now with a very obstinate cough that just refuses to just go away. Today the doctor mentioned the possibility of a cat allergy. Now, he may be just grasping for straws because his medicines did no good so far, but it is a scary concept for cat people. Next week will be an interesting experiment with Cissy in Shanghai for business and hence cat-less. On the other hand the famously not-so-fresh air there might just make things worse.
