Oh dear, I wish that I had some wonderful, profound advice. Poor Gigi. My cornish rex has allergies too, so I know it sucks having to do all of that to them. Luckily for me, my Bijou forgives pretty quickly. Maybe he just needs a few days to "cool" off? He won't even chase a string or anything? I was going to suggest some catnip, but I don't know if that's a good idea with allergies..........HUGE hugs to you.
I'm sure that someone will come along with some good advice.

You didn't say what meds, but allergy meds do have side effects. Between the allergy itself and the side effects of the meds, you could have a miserable kitty. When you don't feel good, socializing is low on the list of things to do.

he started to sit in front of my computer (between keybord and the monitor), and it seems like he does it because of me
(i hope so), but at the same time he doesnt sit on my lap and when i try to pet him he doesnt purrs much, quickly turns his head away from me. its kind of funny to watch cat acting like human, but u kno..i want him back
thanks for a hug!!

hydrocortisone was one of the often used meds...i hope that there will be no need to repeat all these torture once again..

awww I don't have any experience with this. Just wanted to send healthy kitty vibes

For now, perhaps you could just love him on his terms. Pet him when he lies near you (like by the monitor). It seems like he wants to be near you but just doesn't feel so good. He will come around

Where whiskers abound.
I wonder why your cat has allergies. Health all starts with the food.

You might want to feed him high-quality canned only that does not contain any grains.

If you would eat the food yourself, then it is good enough for your cat.

Good Luck.

AWWW...It`s really hard to be ignored by someone you love, is`nt it?
Hopefully it`s just temprary since you had to do so many things to him that were`nt "fun".
When Toby had an ear infection and we had to put drops in his ears 2xs and day for 3 weeks he sort of tried to keep his distance too.
Once he sees that it`s not going to be an all the time occurence he`ll probably come around and go back to being his old sweet self.
