I’m cat sitting and just discovered I’m allergic to them.
I’m cat sitting as the title says, super excited. I’ve been around cats before and never had much of an issue. It’s been brief, and sometimes my hands have tingled but I’ve never thought much of it.
I played with all 4 cats, cuddling, burying my face in their fur, the works. One of the cats was laying on my legs and the other got jealous and started rubbing up on my face. A little while later? Hives, watery eyes, runny nose and itchy galore.
This is the worst news ever. There got my dream of owning cats with my several dogs.
Took a mild allergy tablet and now I’m better. No bad symptoms or anything concerning. I’m camped out in the bedroom because they’re not allowed in here.
That’s my rant. A rant about how sad I am that if I get cats I’ll need allergy meds or get one of those hairy ballsack lookin ones.
Are there hypoallergenic ones? I’ll have to look that up.
