Today, I was at the doctor's getting a check up. He asked me if I was allergic to anything, to which I blurted out, "Cats." He gave me a weird look and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you cats." FML

Your doctor never gives cats? I would switch doctors. I have a whole litter after my last check up! :D

Lol his fault for not being specific. I would've said the same thing if I were allergic, too.

Well he did say, "anything". He should have said, "Are you allergic to any medication?". You were right to say cats in my opinion ;)

When I got my cartilage pierced, they asked me about any allergies so I put down cats since that's all I'm allergic to. They should be more specific if they want serious answers!

There is no need for the doctor to be more specific. It only takes a bit of common sense to realize what he is asking.

You should quickly add, "And semen!"

I've done this before as well. My doctor wasn't as witty as yours, though.

Well, like the others said - he asked! He's the one with a medical degree, he should know to word his questions so he gets the answers he's looking for. You can't read his mind, he asked you a health-related question and you couldn't have known he was only interested in answers relating to things he might expose you to.

I ask patients all the time if they have any allergies to any medications that they are aware of. I still receive responses such as "apples, Tide laundry detergent, or Latex."

Latex i would count since it is used in medical practices. The other ones i would roll my eyes at lol

I work in a pharmacy haha. It was hard to try and not laugh at the "apples" answer.

Well, if you're asked by a pharmacist if you're allergic to any medications, and your answer is apples or laundry detergent, then you're stupid. That happens all the time, too. But I'd say that's way different from being asked by a doctor if you have any allergies - he might as well be trying to make a diagnosis or make sense of a larger picture related to your general health, so he might actually need to know if you have any allergies in general.

Just like many said and thought, he did ask what you were alergic to. His brain stopped working there for a moment, OP, don't worry about it.
