I don't know where to put it, so I picked this forum.
When I was a kid, I did NOT like cats. Or at least I believed I didn't (shows what I knew when I was a kid!). I was always allergic to cats, but not kittens. So when I decided to get a cat, I adopted a young one.
Holland has NEVER given me any allergy problems. She was 5 months old when I adopted her, she'll be 2 years old in May. Have any of you ever suffered from pet allergies? I guess what I'm basically wondering is when I can afford to adopt another cat, do I need to shoot for a kitten again, or am I safe with cats now? I just don't know... I only know a couple of people with cats, so it's hard for me to know if my allergies went away, or if adopting Holland as a kitten kind of negated them in her case.
Weird question, I know...
