While I feel bad for you and your allergies, it's really a dick move on your part to expect your Dad to get rid of a cat, just so that you can visit him more often. First if all, that's not your dad's cat, therefore he has little to no say in decisions regarding thhe cat. Second, that isn't your home so you don't get any say in what pets they have. This would be understandable if it was your home and you were there all the time. As it is, go find some allergy meds for when you absolutely have to go to his house, and find places to meet your dad outside of his home so that you can stay allergy-free.

Okay, it sucks that you're allergic to the cat, but you can't expect someone you don't live with to ditch their pet for you. Go to the doctor and get an asthma inhaler, if you don't have one already. Make sure you always have it with you if you go over there, and take allergy medication before you go over, and take more while over depending on how long you're there. Depending on how bad your allergy is, the medication may not seem like it is doing much but it really is better than nothing. I've got really bad cat and dog allergies that trigger my asthma and almost everyone I know has multiple cats and dogs, so I've been there.

No offense, Op, but...from what I'm getting in your post, it seems as though you don't live there. Why should he try to force the woman he's about to marry to get rid of her beloved pet? You may think it's a simple matter of "oh get rid of the effing thing", but to many people, myself included, pets are every bit as important as other members of the family. Some people would be truly devastated to have to get rid of their pets. I have no children, but I have my three cats. They *are* like *my* children. If I had a fiance whose non-resident son was in your position, and my fiance tried making me get rid of my pet, I'd take my pet and leave him. Because there's no way I'd let another person, man or woman, fiance or family, dictate whether or not I could have my beloved cats. Sorry but, this ain't your call. Get over yourself.

While it is unfortunate that you are allergic to cats, you don't live with your dad, so I don't see why he should have to get rid of his fianceé's cat. You can take medicine or limit your visits.

I don't think the cat gave you pneumonia, OP

how'd you get such a jerk father OP?

If you don't live there I don't see a problem with them keeping the cat

Cats are evil. Don't trust them, while ur sleep they'll sit next to u inhaling ur breath n steal ur soul.

Your dad needs a reality check!
