We had a neighborhood cat who would show up at the back door meowing for treats and scritches. I am strongly allergic and would run inside after petting her to wash my hands thoroughly and take two Benadryl.
I would still break out in hives all over my arms every single time. But I couldn't just not pet her! This meme is perfect.
Yeah, I had cat's growing up, and I just thought it was normal not to be able to breathe through your nose for long periods of time. By the time I moved out I wasn't allergic anymore.
Bullshit. I'm allergic to cats and it gives you a natural dislike for them. Also I'm convinced that cats are creatures from another dimension or planet, they're toxic, demon creatures
Sister's allergic to cats and she raised one for years until she gave it away after having her baby. On the other hand friend's sister has no reaction to cats, even their parents have a history of raising different animals but she's scared shitless by cats. It's pretty easy to give her jump scares.
Honestly it's more socially acceptable to die petting the cat than it is to want the cat to stay away from you. People get mad "don't be mean to the puppies or kitties".
