Sell me on cats

[icowden]

I am biased against cats because I am allergic to them.
But I am alright with dogs, and I prefer them anyway. Sorry, cat lovers.....

I'm allergic to both of them... I grew up with cats though. Discovered breathing and non-itchy eyes when I left home for Uni

Literally allergic. Apparently it's an enzyme in cat saliva that sets off my quite extreme allergic reaction. So if a house has a cat, and the cat has been cleaning itself, leaving traces of this enzyme around, I get a very irritated throat, itchy eyes and start sneezing a lot.....

I am allergic to cats, too.

It hasn't stopped me from sharing my life, for close to thirty years, with at least one, usually two cats at any one time. It hasn't stopped me volunteering for a local rescue in the past either, nor has it stopped me from becoming a judge at cat shows.

I just take antihistamines daily.

The pleasure I get from being around such affectionate, intelligent and at times infuriating creatures far outweighs all of the negatives. If there's a will, there's a way.
