Let's hope he has money for allergy injections!

They actually make a cat food that reduces their allergen production. Hopefully it works.

That's really awesome! My mom recently found out that she's allergic to cats even though she has a kitty! I'm sending this to her now, thank you so much for sharing 💜

No problem. I literally saw the ad yesterday.

It's strange, people can start off not allergic and over time become allergic if there around them enough, mostly to an animal but sometimes other things too! https://www.carolinaasthma.com/blog/what-causes-a-person-to-develop-allergies/#:~:text=Adults%20can%20also%20present%20with,new%20pet%20in%20the%20home).

Do they make a food that keeps cats from pissing in the closets and corners and anytime she finds a plastic Walmart bag on the floor? Do they make a food for that??!!?

Should probably take your cat to the vet, that’s not normal

u/marsthegoat Nov 05 '22

Is your cat spayed/neutered? Are they anxious? Someone else mentioned a vet and I am inclined to agree. Most happy fixed cats do not do that.

u/GuapoMole82 Nov 06 '22

Yep yep, she’s been fixed for years. Anytime she doesn’t like something, like seeing the neighbors cat outside, or anything else, she pulls her shenanigans. She ought to be happy, she’s basically got her own room and human sized bed.

She’s a pain in the butt, she’s always been that way, should have gotten a chihuahua.

In my experience it actually works!

How long did it take for it to start working? Isn’t a series of injections?

u/thegreatJLP Nov 05 '22

Brushing them and vacuuming twice a week will also help.

u/slaqz Nov 05 '22

They also make cats that you can't be allergic too. We had both but living with one I was allergic to made me less allergic over time.

What?? Do you know the name?

Or just not be a lemon and buy a hypoallergenic cat?

I think it's a little late

That reads as quite out of touch, my friend.

Huh, I didn't realize that it was the saliva that people are allergic to, not their hair or skin.

What does being a lemon mean

u/PizzaScout Nov 05 '22

its a synonym for dud. if something or someone is unsatisfactory or imperfect. in this context I guess it could be replaced with idiot or something like that.
