I was allergic to cats too. despite everything we adopted one and over time my allergies lessened and eventually disappeared completely. love is stronger ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฑ 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.

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?

[โ€“] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wait should I be asking people to pet me?

[โ€“] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

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

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago

Definitely worth it.

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

The toxoplasmosis makes me do it.

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.
