Cat News and Baby Climbing

I have some pretty good cat news.  Neko has been coughing for a while.  She gets this cough about once or twice a year when the weather grows colder.  It usually clears up within a week or so.  This time, though, it didn't go away.  Since she has feline leukemia, I worried that she had a tumor in her lungs or something.  We took her to the vet and tried antibiotics.  Nothing.  Today she had x-rays.  It looks like it is kitty asthma!  This is a rather good diagnosis if you ask me.  We can keep her under control with medication.  And her cough isn't that bad, just persistent.  She doesn't seem uncomfortable and still runs all around the house.

The vet is so impressed with her health (asthma aside), so I'm really thankful that she has reached three years doing so well with being a FeLV kitty cat.

While we worried about Kitty today, we took Eliot to the park to burn off some of his energy and new-found ability to climb.  Well, he has been climbing stairs for months, but now he wants to climb all of the furniture too.  Oh goodness!

At the park, he ran all over the place and climbed up the equipment.  We explored the splash ground (which has been taken down for the season) and Eliot found some water to splash in anyway.
