@rosemarya, @alive, @becsbuddy, and all...Rosemary, I'm not sure what I can do to help with this issue. I'm using Symbicort 2x daily to control the coughing and reduce phlegm.. But, don't know if this is a good thing over time or if I may be able to get the hair under control??? May be able to clean better and more often as I get stronger, although my housekeeper has back problems and has left the job. Don't have a new one yet, looking. More vacuum, dusting, getting rid of the loose hair on the bed, etc. will surely help

She adopted me several years ago, had 5 babies on my patio as a tiny kitty herself. She's somewhat of a slut kitty, as she got pregnant while nursing the babies. I took her to the doc after finding the litter good homes and had her spade. An abortion that broke my heart. I didn't know she was pregnant,but I couldn't have raised another litter so I took her to the vet. She is much happier and a great companion. She talks, calls me 'mama', tells me exactly what she wants me to do or not do. She understands and follows my instrutctions re 'lie down'. 'no', 'ok', 'hop up; or hop down and on and on. I can't believe this. Didn't know cats could talk and have so much interaction that makes sense to humans. I sinerely believe she was sent to me by God to help me through tough times, to help me deal with the illness and loss of my dog of 14 years, to give me love and support. I'm very thankful!

Be well. Blessings as we meet this new year with hope and prayer. elizabeth
