Oh lawks this is a real set back. Can you get her into care for a couple of weeks and see if the asthma improves? It may not be her.

I suffer mildly myself and know that HEPA vacuum filters work only if they are properly cleaned, also bamboo bedding is brilliant, Petalcleanse applied to a kitchen towel and wiped over the cat daily keeps dander at bay, use in a spray liberally around your environment too and anti-allergenic wipes handy to clean up after petting sessions are a must. Have you tried an air filter? http://www.webmd.boots.com/asthma/news/20111123/new-machine-brings-night-time-asthma-relief

Meanwhile, keep her out of your bedroom, have your family deal with the litter tray and have them groom her frequently to reduce shedding and dander transfer. All these things will help reduce your symptoms but whether it's enough to minimise your asthma symptoms only testing will tell.

I'm so sorry, I know what this little tabby darling means to you.

I really hope you can find some way to keep Martha As an asthma sufferer myself virtually al my life, 50+ years, I too had a severe reaction to cats when I was very young so I know what it's like. I still have a reaction now and again but only in the summer. Maybe antihistamines can help, worth a try. Do you have inhalers?
As you may know it's not actually the cat that you are allergic too but the dander, saliva and urine and things that they can bring in with them, mould spores and the like. I read somewhere that there are some wipes you can get to help keep the dander down. I will see if I can find it again.
I really don't know what else to suggest and that you can overcome this and keep Martha

It is with a heavy heart that I write tonight.
I have developed Asthma quite badly in the last month and ended up in hospital last weekend. The inhalers aren't really helping and having been free of the condition for about 15 years I am really struggling. I love my kitten, and was bereft at the thought of rehoming her last weekend. This week, whilst I've tried to fight it, my symptoms are not improving and I cannot continue like this for her sake or mine. I'm in utter turmoil but not being able to breathe is literally killing me. My husband will be beside himself even though he's sensible and recognises my health is most important. I can't go on like this, so if anyone can offer any health advise so I can avoid my worst fears please do share with me.

Very happy Martha is doing so well. Love the pics

If I remember right, my lovely gurl cat Lulu was only just over 6lbs. Zoonie is a bit like Alfie, 1 year old and nearly 5kg of muscles oh and he's a wuss too

Astrophe is about 4kg and not so much of a wuss as the Loon.

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #133 on:** February 10, 2015, 22:09:41 PM »

Alfie is 6.5kg of wuss!

Cleo is a little princess at 3.5kg.

sheilarose · « **Reply #132 on:** February 10, 2015, 20:29:23 PM »

Its taken 18 months but our tiny gurlcat Kuki is now a healthy 4kgs. I thought at 6 months and 1.9 kgs she would stay tiny but she has thrived and is now a perfectly formed pantherette

with the most amazing tail and huge paws!

Her big brother Kato is apparently 6.5 kilos of solid muscle who goes out looking for fights with foxes

and has a permanent black eye (this despite the fact he is all black!)

Marthas Mummy · « **Reply #131 on:** February 10, 2015, 18:36:04 PM »

You're so right Sue!!!!
She's full of character and we worship the ground she paws on!!!!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #130 on:** February 10, 2015, 15:17:47 PM »

Oh that's great - I can stand down from worry duty now.

Moray is also a small cat - he's got some maine coon ancestry and by rights should be a big handful of a lad, but because of his poor early start, he's only wee, but I dont mind cos there's so much of him to love. I'm sure Martha's the same - what she lacks in stature she makes up for in personality.

Marthas Mummy · « **Reply #129 on:** February 10, 2015, 15:13:43 PM »

Hello gang!
Martha doing super well. Nurse at vet pleased with her progress ..... She needs to use her tray a bit more (she's not eating tonnes just yet so understandable)!! She's just 2.3kg now at 6 months and is probably going to be a small kitty always which I'm hsppy about!!! She's still the apple of my eye and currently dnoozing in her bed on top of the sofa!!!
Hope everyone's else's 4 legged friends are well and happy!!
Love Marthas Mummy

Hello everyone!!!!
Soooo much been happening I've just not had time to post!!
Well little Martha is now nearly 6 months old, and is been chipped and spayed tomorrow

Hopefully she will be a good little pussy cat and everything will go smoothly. I let her into the back garden for the first time yesterday for about 10 mins..... Too cold for Mummy to stand out with her any longer!!!
Hope everyone is well and I'll send some update pics to Rosella!!!

Marthas Mummy · « **Reply #114 on:** November 13, 2014, 18:17:01 PM »

Hello lovely Purrfect People!
Just wanted to post a little update on our princess!
Martha is out of the woods now. At 13 weeks she weighs 1.33kg so is where she should be! She eats mainly on her own a mix of wet and dry food. She's affectionate and fun in equal measures and my constant companion! So her rocky start is over finally.....next trauma....the Xmas Tree saga!

She is gorgeous

Misa hooks his paw round my arm in bed, ttells me stroking with one hand not good enough

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #112 on:** November 04, 2014, 10:39:30 AM »

Weren't they just!

Still - they're never too big for a sneaky cuddle when they get older.

When Tinks honours us with his presence on the bed, he'll quite often hook his paw about my leg and pull me in closer. Clearly I do suspect it's simply as a comfy perch, but my OH tells me that I'm so bony, it can't possibly be for comfort, so it must be for love.

Marthas Mummy · « **Reply #111 on:** November 04, 2014, 10:03:48 AM »

Sue....I'm sure it's only a matter of time when she snubs us! Especially after long working days (she gave me the brush off yesterday but came round by the end of the evening).
When someone coined the phrase Slave to, they were spot on!

What's not to love......?

I remember when I used to get cuddles like that.

Now I get a fleeting glance and maybe a tail curl from mine own when they have a spare second

mad_lilli · « **Reply #109 on:** November 03, 2014, 23:24:13 PM »

Martha is a very cute little lady. Xxx

If she keeps doing it, she may have to wear a litttle vest. Do not scratch, Martha!

That's reassuring. Didnt think it could be razor rash because of course 9 out 10 cats prefer whiskers (allegedly)

Hi everyone,
Little Martha had just caught her chest with her dew claw so needs a little barrier cream a la Vaseline to keep it moist and not scabby (nice)!!!!
She's been loved to pieces by her big sisters Amelia and Lily so a very happy scrumbly pussy cat!!!
Vet even said she's got a little tum so ease back on the feeding lol

Very happy Marthas Mummy

Could be razor rash. Happens to us blokes all the time.
