I need hivemind help: can cats be allergic to bee stings? Tzepesh was just stung while trying to be a fierce hunter cat. I told Pete to call the vet, because I have no clue.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Huh. Guys, help me out here -- doesn't The Scarlet Pimpernel end with him having been whipped and her having bloody feet, for some reason? I'm not making that up, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know the answer to either of those questions. Sorry.

Jilli, I don't know about cats, but one of my sister's dogs is allergic. (We know this because Fenway had tried to eat bees more than once, and they have something like an epi-pen for her.)

Yeah, Google is telling me that cats can be allergic, and gives a list of symptoms to watch for. Which is why I told Pete to call the vet right away. So, not-allergic ~ma for Tzepesh would be great.

Jilli, dogs can. Nothing about cats.

Fenway is a Boston Terrier, and has those bug-eyes that Bostons tend to get, but when she's been stung her face swells up so much that her eyes become deep-set. In my DH's words, "she's even funnier looking!"
If the gods are dog lovers, my DH is going to Hell.
eta: ~ma for the kitty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I suspect that the vet will tell Pete the same thing, but afaik, bee-sting allergy symptoms in critters are much like they are in humans; in other words, if there were a problem, you would've known pretty much right away thanks to more-than-local swelling and distress.
(But Pete, do check in and say so!)

Our wings are not tired.
I love that the dog is named Fenway.
Too bad "AT&T Park" doesn't have the same um...ring.
