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.

How's he reacting? Poor wee hunter-kitty.

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.

Yep, that's pretty much what the vet said. Apparently Tzepesh is gamboling around the kitchen, and only occasionally stopping to lick at his paws. So it sounds like he didn't actually get stung, thank goodness. But Pete is going to keep a close eye on him for the next hour, because the first 45 minutes or so are when the reaction would set in.
Silly hunter cat. Bees are not toys. Go hunt the spiders in the basement or something.

Fenway has two sisters, owned by my sister and my mother: Sox and Durgin. I have a daydream of getting my own Boston and naming her Yastrzemski (calling her Yas).
