I hate Reddit sometimes. Before I came here I was totally fine with being allergic to cats.

My boyfriend is allergic to cats. He's somehow fallen for the charm of my oldest kitty and now he loves her and plays with her all the time. Get a cat and some allergy meds. ONE OF US, ONE OF US!

Eat cat hair everyday and your body will be immune to cat allergies!

If you own a cat, I can assure you that you eat cat hair every day, whether you like it or not.

[–]HBKidJr 2 points3 points ago

Or, if you're like me, you not only accept the hair in everything, but if you're drinking a glass of milk and they decide to help themselves, you drink it when they're done with it. Oh cats.

An ex-gf wanted to get a cat, despite me being allergic to them. I finally relented. Two weeks of slight stuffiness, and now I'm immune to cats. I ditched the girl, kept the cat and lost an allergy. Good deal for me :)

My mom found a stray that was clearly a house cat that was released at a college campus, we're thinking a college student who went on break and said "fuck it" and let her go. We picked her up and she was in bad shape. Very malnourished and sick. Nursed her back to health but with our crazy household, we couldnt have a cat.

I had the idea to give the cat to my grandmother. She is a widow of a few years now and her last dog was too much for her and she had to find it a new home. She had always been allergic to cats but I told her I'd bring it over and who knows, you might have gotten over it.

2 years later my grandmother has no cat allergy and a new best friend. So cool when life works out. :)

My girlfriend is allergic to cats, she takes a allergy shot once a month and now we own two wonderful cats.

If you end up going to get a kitty. ADOPT one

I used to be extremely allergic to cats as a kid, so I avoided them. However, my family recently adopted a stray. At first, it was no fun at all, so I avoided being in the same room as her. A year or two later, I'm good, I just have to not rub my eyes right after having petted her.

[–]Sanwi 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have a real solution for you. Here's my story: I used to be fairly allergic to cats, and it really bothered me because I LOVE LOVE LOVE cats. Then, at the advice of my health-guru aunt, I because taking digestive enzymes with every meal. Turns out that poor digestion can often be the cause of allergies. Within a week or two my cat allergies where gone. And seriously, digestive enzymes are cheap to buy; you can get them in chewable tablets or capsules, w/e you like.

I knew a girl in high school who did that. They weren't in an open relationship or even really poly, she just decided that she wanted to date both of them and the guys were both such pushovers that they went along with it. She was so public about it too, she'd make facebook statuses about "my boyfriends".

She wound up marrying one of them about 2 years after graduation. Not sure what became of the second.

Technically it's not a straw man debating strategy, and when you offer no evidence to your claims, then it comes down to he said/she said. And like pyroja said, I'm gonna go with the credible source in that situation (which most people would)

[–]pyroja 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not sure how it's a straw man when you did, in fact, compare it to holding your wang. And the opposing explanation is, in fact, from an expert in animal behavior.

But yea, I guess he's a pretty horrid expert. That's why NatGeo interviewed him, yea?
