    My now wife didn’t really like cats when I met her and was allergic to the point of the hair giving her little welts.

    Fast forward a couple few years and she loves my cat and just ends up taking allergy pills every day and dealing with the itching.

    Fast forward a few more years when that cat dies and she says she doesn’t think we can ever replace him.

    Fast forward one month and she comes home with a flyer for a rescue cat she wants to adopt.

    And we did and she couldn’t be happier.

    I’d like everyone to look at this because this is proof cats also abide by the “they fell asleep, guess I’m stuck here” rules.

          I am allergic to cats and have allowed a cat to rub it’s head against my face multiple times, because that cat was a bro (and I had loratadine).

          Also don’t really like cats in general because most of them are jerks, just that specific one was, as I mentioned, a bro.

      Allergies are not as linear as allergy = death/miserable. Some dander is not the same as others and some people only react to certain types. He could have just been bullshitting too.

        Allergy meds can also help a ton. I’m mildly allergic. Congestion, itchy eyes and face. I had one cat, married into 5 more. I’m fine as long as I stay on top of my allergy meds.

          My sister was very allergic to cats when she was a kid. Then one day she just sort of turned up with this cat. My sister’s friends cat had kittens and this was one of the kittens.

          Anyway she was afraid my parents would say no so she hid the cat in her room for 2 or 3 days before my parents noticed. By which point it was somewhat of a done deal.

          Anyway 16 years later when the cat died my sister was no longer allergic, so if you spend enough time around them you do eventually become desensitized. Or at least some people seem to.

      I’m allergic to cats but grew up with one (she lived to 21!) and my fiance has a cat and we moved in together. It’s fine I just have to keep the cat away from my face and I wash my hands after petting her.

      Even if I don’t I just get really itchy, it’s not the worst. Worth it for the pets and cuddles.

    I’m pretty much the same. Cats are terrible creatures and I would never intentionally own one. But I’m not going to hold it against my partner’s two cats that they are cats, so they get scritches and nap times with me.

    I like dogs, I just don’t like living with them. I like cats, I just don’t like living with them.

    The woman I love, well, she likes living with them.

    This is me this morning.

    No, this don’t mean I like living with them, but I handle it for her because I love her. Hell, I even love them, but I don’t like living with them.

    Like, I really love them. I just don’t like cleaning poo when they screw up or the sneezing because the cat only likes me for some reason. I mean, I’m nice to her because she’s a person too, but I don’t really like living with her.
