Janet’s candidate theory is that Caoimhe is allergic to her own fur possibly, or to the kittens, with whom she is now constantly cuddled up. Caoimhe really seems to love them possibly only because they are so very warm and toasty, the amount of heat they pump out is astonishing. Janet has got her on an old ladies’ bum-warmer, as she describes it, and electric hot pad and Janet thinks that the warmth is making the sneezing worse.
