So, I've had pet cats for the past 10 years of my life and during a few years in high school. I had to find homes for my 2 cats when I left for Peru, and was planning to take them back when I returned... but it looks like my allergies are so severe that I can't have them back. I went to go visit my ex's cats and my right eye was nearly swollen shut and i had large thick hives on my arms. I'm starting to get used to the dogs and cats of friends, but it's uncomfortable and I usually end up taking allergy pills (which i'm just not keen on popping pills all the time)... and considering the food allergies i already have, its just every taxing physically to deal with the allergic reactions of both animals and food....
tho i still love cats and miss having a pet to play with!
Generally cats that are hairless have less hair for their saliva to stick on to, and it's the saliva that i'm allergic to. So, i did some research on a variety of cats that tend to provoke less allergic reactions... Sphynx, Devon Rex, and Cornish Rex... and Siberian cats have hair but less of the allergen in their saliva...
So, when brentt and i move back in together, i'm in search of a rescue cat of one of these breeds :) if you have any leads let me know :)
(oh and apparently there are genetically engineered cats that are 100% allergy free, but not only is this super expensive, and promoting the breeding industry instead of rescuing cats.. but it also seems a bit on the strange side)
