Question on physiology. We have a cat in our storefront - BT the brown tabby - who has been acting congested and sneezy since he came in. He sneezes large boogers from his nose from time to time and I think I even heard him cough once or twice. The snot (I know, TMI) looks infected and had some blood in it. In humans, that is a sign of sinusitis- sinus infection - I don't know about cats. I am having a hard time getting our rescue director to take action on him. She said he seems fine to her!
Could it be allergy? I know I don't like the litter dust! None of his litter mates has the issue to this degree - just an occasional sneezie.
Also - ongoing problems with blood on the stool. I think its a parasitic infection -we've already had issues with kittens in this storefront. Hard to keep it clean because so many people are cleaning in there with varying levels of ... um... consideration. Also, PetSmart chose to use cheap powder-coated metal in its new stores instead of stainless steel.
