Hello Everyone!
So I wanted to share my experience so far with my boyfriend who is really allergic to cats. If you want to read my original thread please go here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...=204106&page=3 but you can reply on this one.
Well, I haven't moved in yet (a lot of things logistical have to be worked out) but...I've been bringing my boy Shermie and my girl Luna over for 1-2 days a week. I've also been bringing them over separately a couple times too. It seems that my boyfriend is not that allergic to Shermie - he's even slept at the foot of our bed w/o any major problems. But Luna is a different story, it seems like he's worse w/ her around. Now, I've only brought her over w/ Sherm, so I don't know if it's the 2-cats thing or just Luna.
My boyfriend does also take allergy pills (i have no idea which ones as I bought him all 3 kinds) but they don't seem to do a ton of good either way. Also, i've been brushing them before they go over, but i've gotten lazy w/ Sherm b/c boyfriend does not seem to have problems around him. Boyfriend has even gotten to petting him.
SO the Luna thing is kind of distressing but I haven't lost hope yet. I have read reviews of Allerpet C (the for cats version) - this solution that you rub on cats' furr that supposedly reduces dander, and 99% of them have been good. And the 1 bad review i found wasn't helpful anyway. And the great thing is that it's only like $7-10! I was thinking it would be way more than that. So here goes...I'll post an update as soon as I use it a few times!
P.S. if anyone has their own reviews of this product or any other suggestions not mentioned in the above thread, p-lease post here!
