Re: allergy


I am allergic to my cats!!!!

Am constantly sneezy and have a bunged up nose so take an antihistamine every day!!!

Worse thing for me is if I have touched the cats and then touch my eyes ... they itch so much I could rip my own eyes out!!!!

But I love the cats and wouldnt want it any other way!

Re: allergy


I used to be allergic to cats, but I think I have become immune over the years.

I'm fine with cats now, but some dogs still get me going. Especially long haired dogs
