i finally had got tired of hearing my cat coughing... it first started when i was using some shitty absorbent litter with these blue grains among the grey, and he hasn't stopped coughing fairly regularly since
i decided that it's probably because there's a lot of dust in the air and this place has very little adequate ventilation without enabling him to escape outside, so i got not one but TWO filters that have HEPA, carbon, ionizer and a UV zinc catalyst, and will put one on each floor of the house, one in the bedroom, which has only one opening, and the other down in the centre of the kitchen
hopefully this solves the problem
my cat is a little sickling... when i got him, he was in a pretty bad state with ear infection, severe gingevitis and a chronic throat infection, he had been clear of the cough for some time but i feel like the long term antibiotic use has weakened his immune system and now he can't tolerate the dust, and i know that if the air is cleaner he will have less strain and finally maybe be fully happy little cat all the time
he plays all the time now, just he sometimes has a coughing fit, maybe 7 times a day or so, and i know it's gotta be unpleasant for him... in a week or so i'll have this air filter, the pots of grass i'm growing should be bedded into the pots well enough i can let him have at it, and maybe eventually the landlord will actually install the insect screens on the windows and i'll also be able to open up the ventilation especially when there is a good breeze on... the last week of weather has been very still air and mostly quite warm and probably a lot of dust blowing over from the south, as you can see that warm air is blowing in that direction by the way the rain clouds are being driven away from the shore
the air quality in this place is not the best because of the lack of windows, and people on this island don't seem to really pay much attention to good ventilation... many houses that are left to sit, even on the upper parts of the south of the island get really bad mold growing all through them because of the high humidity from the ocean winds
well, anyway, it's done, and soon everything should be dandy for little #mochi the #catstr, which will make me happier too
