Soooo. For the past 5 years my grandparents have been trying to make me get rid of my cats. I even had to start locking all doors and changed locks when we left to make sure they wouldn't try and take the cats. They've done it before.
Now, my sister was a preemie and has pretty bad asthma. She's just about 14 now. (birthday on the 19th) So they figured all her problems were coming from the cats(allergy).. and that it was my fault. I was killing my sister. Talk about guilt trip.
Well.. on Mothers Day weekend my sister had a really bad attack. Worst she's ever had. Was hospitalized for 6 days. After switching her to a group of different inhalers and pills. She's been doing okay.
But once she went into the hospital my grandparents were on me again about getting rid of the cats before they kill her.
So yesterday she had an appointment with the allergist. And all day I was worrying about the results and whether or not I would be definitely be forced to either get rid of them.. or move out with them.
But alas... she is not allergic to ANY animal. Not even cats. But is highly allergic to trees, grass and ragweed pollen.
My mum gave me the pleasure of telling my grandparents that it was not the cats causing this.. but the fact that we live beside a park and the house backs up onto a ravine! I made sure I was polite about it. But It felt good to finally tell them they were wrong and my cats aren't going anywhere.
