Today, one of my three-year-old twin daughters asked, "Dad, can we get a cat?" I replied in a gentle dad voice, "No, honey, dad is allergic to cats. That means they make him sneeze and sniffle. So we can't get a cat. Sorry." After a slight pause, the other asked, "When you die can we get a cat?" FML

Today, my mom got a cat. I'm allergic to cats, so I politely asked my mom why she got it. Her response: "I want you to finally want to move out." I turned eighteen two weeks ago. FML

Today, I told my mom I'm severely allergic to my cat and that the doctor told me it would be best to get rid of the cat. Somewhat jokingly, I told her it was either me or the cat. She chose the cat. She was serious too. FML

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 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

Today, after 25 years living with my dad, who is highly allergic to cats, I was finally able to adopt two kittens to live in my new place, just like I have always wanted. Guess who else is highly allergic to cats? Me, it seems. FML

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

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, 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

1) she's 3...don't read too much into it 2) some people ( myself included ) can take an ENTIRE BOX of zyrtec or benadryl and still sneeze and wheeze when in the presence of a cat, and shots take YEARS before you know they worked or not. It has nothing to do with short hair or long hair (hell, I can't even be around those NAKED cats, I still sneeze my brains out) -- the things people are allergic to are their dander (dead skin cells) or saliva (and cats lick themselves all the time). 3) buy a goldfish --- name it Cat.

How about getting a special breed that doesn't trigger your allergies? Hairless cats (sphynx) are so ugly they're adorable. Also, some breeds are OK for some allergics. Maine Coon, for instance, can be fine for some people who are allergic to cats in general. Of course, getting a cat of a specific breed can cost a great deal of money. At three years old, your kids aren't really old enough to take on chores to prove that they deserve a cat. I'm a fan of making kids work to get what they want - don't let 'em get spoiled and used to getting everything they want; that'll just come back and bite them later in life. Just get them stuffed animals for now. And don't take the comment seriously. Like everyone else already said, they're not wishing for your death. They're just wondering if you are the only obstacle to getting a cat. Maybe explain to them that having a cat is a lot of responsibility? You have to feed it and take it to the vet, which can be really expensive.

You must have just continued " No honey, your dad's ghost will be still around. So I'll still sniffle and sneeze. So , no we cannot get a cat. Sorry."
