I'm allergic to cats. About 2 months ago me,my brother and dad moved in my step moms house. She has had a cat for 8 years. For the first couple nights I was in hell. My eyes itched, my throat itched. I was sneezing like crazy. Well we got rid of all of the carpets. Used a hepa vacum, and I have a air filter in my room. For the past month and a half I have had little to no symptoms.
I can pet her just fine as long as I wash my hands afterword. I was taking claritin for the first solid week to feel better. I haven't had to use it after that first week. I think I have built up a slight immuntity to the allergen. Well there are talks about getting another cat. My parents want another one, but they are letting me make the final choice since I'm the one with the allergy.
I love cats and would love to get another one. Do you guys think it would be a good idea? I heard that white females are the best for people with allergies. I was thinking about maybe a female siamese. The cat we have now is black. I'm really enjoying having a cat and not having any allergies. I don't want to have them kick back in with the addition of another cat, but I really want a siamese. Any advice?
