Today, my boyfriend bought us three kittens. Today, I also discovered that I am allergic to cats. My boyfriend broke up with me because he wanted the cats more than me. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my boyfriend woke up wheezing terribly, aching, and sneezing. He's allergic to cats. I have 2 and they are my babies. He gave me an ultimatum, him or the cats. I haven't figured out how I'm going to tell him that I choose the cats. FML

Today, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. FML

Cats rule, boys drool

Today, to celebrate moving into a new apartment, my girlfriend decided she would get a kitten. She didn't know I'm allergic to cats. When I told her, she decided that she couldn't date someone who couldn't be around her cat; the one she doesn't have yet. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me I had to get rid of my cats, or he would leave. He punched a hole in my wall when I told him I chose the cats. FML

Itchy and scratchy

Today, I went to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. While I was there, I started to get really itchy. Turns out they have 5 cats. Guess what I'm allergic to? FML

Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML

Don't make me choose

By Ames - 23/05/2009 16:07 - United States

Today, after being diagnosed with cat allergies, I explained to my cat-loving boyfriend that the doctor strongly recommended not allowing the cat in the bedroom. At 1:30 a.m. my boyfriend got out of the bed to go sleep in the spare room because, "the cat is sad." FML

Summer vibes

Today, my roommates adopted two kittens without consulting me. We're not allowed to have pets in our apartment and I'm severely allergic to cats. Oh well, it's not like I needed to be able to breathe this summer. FML

Today, my cat still loves my boyfriend more than me. I spent around 6 months convincing my boyfriend to get a cat. FML

That's a completely legit reason. Have you seen kittens?

He sounds crazy- what other kind of person buys THREE cats on a whim? (And why would you buy a cat anyway when it's so easy to find them for free or up for adoption at a shelter?) He sounds impulsive and irresponsible. Even getting one cat was a big adjustment for me, and it was the same a few months later when my roommate got her cat. I can't imagine getting three all at once. Take it as a sign that he's well on his way to becoming a cat hoarder, and consider yourself lucky to be rid of him before you wasted any more of your time. And just so you know for the future, it is possible to live with a cat when you have allergies. I have a mild cat allergy (sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes), but after a few months of living with them I don't have a reaction to the cats here. So if you ever meet a non-crazy guy who happens to own a cat, know that it doesn't have to be a deal-breaker. :)

Hey, not everyone has a lot of trouble with cats. I took care of 5 kittens at one point and it really wasn't so difficult for me. Then again, I didn't have a job and I don't know if you did and that's what made it harder for you, but anywho... Yeah, I have a mild allergy to cats too, but I have 3 cats and it's not a big deal. I get an allergy shot every once in a while and it calms them down for a few months.

How is it a "big adjustment" to get a cat? You put a litter box somewhere, feed them once a day, and have a cat. Boohoo.

It was hard for me to adjust to my cat because he was only 7 weeks old when I first got him and he got into EVERYTHING. He also had ridiculous amounts of energy that he liked to channel into play-attacking me anytime I sat still (or walked, or typed, or really did anything at all), including and especially when I was trying to sleep at night. Studying was really hard when I had to constantly wave a toy on a string around to keep him from pouncing on my arms and legs, and it was at least a few weeks before I got a full night's sleep. He's great now, though. He's actually napping on my desk while I write this. :)
