It's not good ...
Just back from emergency cat hospital. Min was gasping for breath when she came in this evening so we whisked her over to our vet and they popped her on oxygen and then sent us over to the specialist vet on the other side of the Bridge.
Our local vet was all: they can give her better treatment and help her to get some more air in, and she might need to stay there overnight.
Emergency vet was rather: prepare yourself for the worst, she may well not make it.
We are now back home, very sombre, and just hoping that emergency vet is one of those "I'll give you the worst-case scenario because then I'll look really good when it doesn't happen" people.
I am very worried. I know she's just a cat, but she's our Min cat and she's a part of the household. Not to mention her many fans around the neighbourhood -- she's the most famously bad tempered cat in the Inner West and people take it as a mark of achievement if they can convince her to let them pat her.
On the less important to me side, this meant the 6am USEST Springsmut posting was late (I was roped into that this afternoon when I foolishly answered an IM fromnqdonne. I should know only to chat with her in her mornings when it is always amusing goss time.) If you know anyone who was deeply disturbed by that, just reassure them that it was an actual emergency.

Sydney pollution is a nightmare for asthmatics - lets hope they can find a balanced treatment that can keep her safe and comfortable.

I really need to move ...

There's a lovely place coming on the market just down the park from us... >.>
I really hope it all goes well. Will send healthy kitty vibes your way.

Does the place come with well-paying jobs in accountancy and publishing? Because we do quite like Victoria ...

Um... I imagine there ARE well paying jobs in accountancy and publishing in Melb. Even though I grew up between Sydney and Mudgee, and have lived in/near Canberra and Brisbane as well, Melbourne has won my heart in the last two years, especially in the year since we moved here. I couldn't live in another Aus city now.

I shall comfort myself with the mental image of you in a fully crossed yoga-like pose and doing the funny eyes. I am quite certain evil cat would like it, could she see you!
