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.

he's just a little predator. i wish him and you the best.

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 just can't refuse that cats cute face even if it kills you.

Yeah, people always mention that I'm allergic to cats when I pet them. It's definitely worth it.

Depends. Are you petting them really good?

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Wait should I be asking people to pet me?

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

How often do you find yourself turning down someone asking for pets?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 26 points 18 hours ago

Definitely worth it.

It's not worth it but I can't help myself

The toxoplasmosis makes me do it.

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 28 points 20 hours ago

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.
