Before giving Mishka his dinner, I was sitting in the lounge, chatting to him. I had the balcony door open, very humid today. I smelt something weird, ask my guys what the heck is that smell. Sean thought his laptop was beginning to burn and turned if off immediately (his screen had burnt out previously before, through a short).
Steven was worried it was the ex box, turned if off as well. We walked back into the lounge, I got the fright of my life, Mishka was climbing all over the bars of his cage, the smell was getting to him. We could hardly breath, it was so strong and felt like it was burning our throats. I immediately took Mishka out, placed him in his night cage, and left him in the bathroom, closed the window and the door. We stood on the baloney, there was the most putrid smell, like a chemical or something. I thought it could be someone fumigating their apartment, in the other building.
After about 45 minutes the smell gradually disappeared. I chatted to other tenants, the caretaker as well, they all reckon it was some kind of a chemical.
Mishka eat his dinner, acted normally. I am keeping an eye on him constantly, I know I will not sleep a wink tonight, checking on him constantly.
I thank God, we were home, when this "incident" occurred. Something so unknown to us could have ended the life of Mishka.
OMG I don't even want to go there............
Now I am paranoid to go out, what if the foreign smell re-appears again, and we are not here.................
