Good Morning,
We recently got a cat. My husband is allergic to cats, like many others it totally depends on the cat. His allergies have also gotten better over the years. He goes into people's houses for a living, cleaning their furniture. He would come home in the past and get very sick after some cat exposure. Now he rarely has that kind of response. Most cats barely bother him.
I have taken to vacuuming every day, we are seriously talking about getting rid of the carpet. Once she has free roam of the house we will try and keep her out of our bedroom. I also plan on changing the furnace filters once a month (worst job on the planet, because of the morons who installed our furnace).
I also use the Febreeze for allergens. He has a year supply of allergy meds, but can't use anything with a decongestant.
Any other suggestions? Is anyone else living with cat allergies and a cat?
Our cat is a female ginger. I read that light skinned girls produce less of the protein. I also read that getting her as a kitten might desensitize him. He has some sneezing on day two, but we were moving furniture also, so it might have been dust. Other than that nothing.
