My fiancée and I just got a great maine coon kitty and then the unthinkable happened.....I've been having an allergic reaction to him. My eyes get itchy and the most prominent symptom is a sore throat. I had cats growing up and have never had this issue before, is there anything else that can be going on? Is there any other option besides allergy shots and getting rid of our new kitten? I have tried Claritin but it isn't really helping much..any advice is appreciated
