Courtney S asked:


I’m really wanting to have a cat in the next few years, but I do have minor allergies. They are pretty minor, the sneezing and irritation if I touch my eyes.

Some ideas I had were

1. Using a Furminator
2. Buying an air purifer that has a collection plate for my apartment
3. Buying a vaccume specificaly for vaccuming hair
4. Washing my hands and clothes frequently

Any one have any other ideas for me?

Thanks!

I have cat allergies and my Mom just adopted a kitten. My eyes are red and irritated. I don’t want to go on Claritin or anything because I’m on enough meds as it is. Any advice on what to do would be great. Does Febreeze with Allergen Reducer work?

We want to get our daughter a cat, because shes love them so much. But I’m kind of allergic, but not violently. And an outside cat in our area isnt an option. I can go to a friends house where there are cats and be fine as long as I dont touch my eyes or sit on anything with lots of fur on it. But I’m used to being careful. With my own cat, I would like to be able to hold and pet it without worrying about all the dander flying in my face. I would prefer not to take normal allergy meds, all that I have tried make me sleepy, even “non-drowsy” ones. Plus I’m not fond of the idea of taking a drug everyday. Does anyone know of any natural allergy treatments? I’ve seen them for plant allergies, but do they work for pet allergies, or is there a different thing for that? Also, is there an allergy shot that you can get?
