Today, like every other day for the past two weeks, the strange cat that has adopted me inexplicably made its way into my house and curled up next to my head while I slept. I'm horribly allergic. FML

I can understand how insects can sneak there way inside, but how does a whole cat "inexplicably" get into your home?

The people saying 'YDI' obviously don't know how sneaky and crafty cats can be. One of my old cats would always somehow let herself into my neighbors house when they weren't home. Their doors and windows were always locked when she got in. To the OP: maybe ask some family or friends if they want a cat?

my brothers cat would squeeze under the door to sleep on my face. I'm not allergic but I do enjoy oxygen free of cat hair.

Every life that the gods choose to entrust us with is a gift. You've been given a gift, and it appears it's also an opportunity to make a good life for a stray that needs a home.

Then why would god give OP allergies if god wanted to give OP this wonderful gift? :/

Since he's saying inexplicably, I feel like he is securing his house.

They do make shampoos for cats you can give it a bath to get the dander off its fur. And I think that's very sweet OP, it's very rare when a cat does that!

I do that for my cat! She gets a bath twice a week with hypoallergenic shampoo!

Is that food for the cats skin though? Aren't you supposed to only give a cat a bath when absolutely necessary? (Genuine question, I only have dogs. Hubby is allergic to cats)

It's not bad for the cat to bathe them, unless it really stresses them out. And you can help reduce stress if you start bathing them when they are still a kitten. It's not usually necessary if they stay inside because cats will clean themselves. Most people who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to a protein in their saliva. And because cats clean themselves, the protein gets on their fur. So bathing would be useful for people with alergies to wash away the saliva.

Since my cats want nothing to do with the tub we use a shampoo that you brush it out and dry them and it works perfectly

All good to know, thanks. I figured regular bathing would be hard on their skin.

My friend has had that happen to him twice but he has a little kitty door for his own cats so it makes a little more sense...

that's the cutest! I was allergic until I got a cat. 3 weeks of constantly washing my hands later, I was immune.

Are you sure you were allergic? I've been highly allergic to cats since I was born and have spent the vast majority of my life living with them (though they aren't allowed in my room). All the antihistamines, including Benadryl, and three years of allergy shots have done little to nothing to lower my allergy to them. I feel I have gotten worse as I've gotten older.

42, it could be like having asthma as a kid: some people "grow out" of it and some people worsen as they age. I personally tested positive to be in allergic to cat dander with the allergy scratch test when I was five or six and now I rarely have a sniffle when my babies want to cuddle.

Actually, it's rarely the dander on the cat that's the problem. Cats do a pretty good job of keeping themselves clean. But when the dander is allowed to build up around the house, that's when people tend to react to it. So keep your house clean and you can probably enjoy having a cat around!
