I have recently (2 weeks) adopted a 3 year old long hair cat. My whole life I never had a cat, except in college my mom had a cat I would see occasionally and I did have a minor reaction to him. However, with my new baby, I feel sick all day I am with her. My lymph nodes in my neck are swollen and sore all day, I sometimes get rashes that itch on my arm, and when I wake up my eyes are crusted shut and post nasal drop kills me. I've purchased an air purifier to try and help but after three days of it running, nothing is better. When I leave the house, I tend to feel better but I've been home for 20 minutes and I already have a headache again. My friend suggested antihistamines but I don't want to live the next 10-15 years of my life on medication. She and I have not fully bonded and I'm wondering if my best bet is to rehome her. She is a healthy, beautiful "luxury" cat and I know she would be able to find a new home. I just don't want us both to be miserable or to have to get rid of her in 6 months when we are fully bonded. I want what is best for my health and my new cat.
