My cat allergy started not long after I got my cat. When I went for blood tests the doctors said you have a few allergys dust, cats etc... So he said (and I can still remember where I was stood and how I felt when he said) you'll have to either give your cat away or stay away from it! I was like...
Im so sick of reading why cats end up in shelters just coz their owners have an allergy... I am allergic to cats and id never ever ever ever give my cat away just coz of an allergy!
I'm so sorry, he was a beauty. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him and that you did what you could. I had my cat put to sleep a year ago and he's never out of my mind. but it will get easier. *hugs*
