    I find I’m fine so long as I don’t rub my face on the cat and wash my hands before touching my face.

    I was allergic to cats too. despite everything we adopted one and over time my allergies lessened and eventually disappeared completely. love is stronger 💪🐱 it was worth it to the end.

      i’m glad it worked for you! allergies in a human can change, but they very often only get worse. i’ve always liked cats and always been allergic. Actually I stopped liking cats when I found my adopted alley cat killing birds in my backyard. when I forced him to be an inside cat after like 5 times he’d killed birds he was the most miserable ass. because i wouldn’t let him outside to kill birds. i had to abruptly move away and left him to the neighbors.

          i understand the sentiment. And I agree! I love kitties.

          But house cats are not native to North America. If left alone, they are an invasive species. they should not be here.

            you are absolutely right when kitties start to become a threat for other species but i don’t think fully domesticated indoor cats will cause any problem. they are just 🐱
