Well... as coincidence has it I happened to read this in one of the many papers we receive in work... I couldn't believe it!

An extract from the Daily Mirror (Wed 5 Nov) reads....

(With piccy of a bit piddled off tabby cat with a ruffled up tissue in front of its face, snearing from behind it....)

Bruce the cat has been unable to find a new home – because he has been suffering from sneezing fits for over four months.

RSPCA officers rescued the four-year-old tabby when he was abandoned in July but nobody is willing to take him in because he keeps sneezing on them.

Bruce, who sneezes up to 40 times per hour, has been diagnosed as suffering from rare chronic rhinitis – which was bought on by flu and causes inflamation of the nose.

Georgina Woollaston, from Barnes Hill's RSPCA animal sanctuary in Birmingham, said: 'He's a lovely cat. Some visitors have shown an interest but he starts sneezing and they take another cat home.' If you want to give Bruce a hom, ring 0121 426 6777.

So, Bobert... you thought your puddy has problems! Poor thing... He's a cutie too! Imagine - 40 times per hour!
WOW!
