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 5 points 2 years ago

Wait should I be asking people to pet me?

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I mean.. never, but That's not as big a sample size as it sounds.

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.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It feels weird that I’m so heavily allergic to dust. Meanwhile I can nuzzle my face into dogs and cats. Immune systems are bizarre things.

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

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 have three cats that I am apparently allergic to. People kept telling me to get rid of them.

I got rid of the people. Could not be happier.

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.

[-] rektstarsceosu@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] rektstarsceosu@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

you are absolutely right when kitties start to become a threat for other species but i don't think fully domesticated indoor cats will cause any problem. they are just 🐱

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

I'm in this picture and I don't like it. (I'm the cat)

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

You don't like scritches you little fuzzywuzzy?

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Everytime. And I'm SOOOO allergic...
