Hi.

I'm big fan of cats.

My girlfriend is allergic to cats, so we don't have any own cats, but we have one painting of a cat, which is like our "pet".

Well, I guess a painting is better than nothing but there are such things as medicines for allergies that can be explored. Meanwhile, just show us a photo of your painting of a cat! I can STILL show you a picture of the little snuggly doll cat that I had when I was a kid. That had to do me cause my mother insisted on raising and breeding chihuahuas.

Hey Yakka!

Welcome to the site and forum and glad you could make it! Really sorry
you are catless -- don't know whereabouts you live, but there are prescription medicines your gf could take, like Zyrtec, that would enable you to live with cats...you may want to visit the health issues forum here as well, and read more about people living successfully with cats even when they have allergies...
I LOVE cats and have lived with 'em all my life. Currently I share life with 9! rescued, indoor-only, spayed/neutered adult felines, who are my life. The few times in my life when I've been catless have been the saddest and loneliest times of my life, no matter how much was going on in my social life otherwise...now, I couldn't live without cats in my life! I love looking at pix of them, but it's just not the same as stroking one, hearing the purrs, looking into the jewel eyes, admiring the beauty and agility, and well, just loving living with cats!!! So for your sake, I sure hope your gf is able to find a way to live with cats, too...GOOD LUCK!!!

Well.. that is something.

I can send a photo of the painting, but since I don't have it right now, it takes some time.

Hi.

Thanks for the information. I know there exists some treatments for getting rid of 'cat allergic'. I think she is allergic only for certain type of cat 'hair'.

I will check health issues forum for information.

Right now we are travelling quite a lot, which also makes it difficult to get a pet, but we have to consider about starting treatment or using example Zyrtec.

and btw. we live in Finland, I probably forgot to mention it.
