Yes’youcangogetallergy shots evey week oryoucantake tryaminic.
Therearedrugs,whichyoushoulduse. Spending time around cats willdecrease yourallergy symptoms asyourbody gets used toit. Ifyougeta cat youshouldgroom once a week anda bathe themonce a month,andinstall a hepa filtration system (orbetter) ifyouhavecentral heating,orplaceindavidual air filtration ystems intherooms youusemost. Vacuming helps a lot andI mean vacum everything!
Take yourallergy meds. I do.

Youcanalways take somekind ofmeds foranimal allergies. Don’t youwatch thecommercials? Howaboutgetting anhairless cat? Yes,they’re ugly. Butnonose boogies!!
Try using a pill called clareton.
I hadthesame symptoms andI took ina stray about7 months ago. I took benadryl forthefirst month ortwo andgive herbaths andbrush herona regular basis. Now allofmysymptoms aregone!!
toavoid cats ascanaspossible.
thisisa best way toreduce yourallergy ofcats.
allergy medication isreally thekey.
also,bathing cats indreft once a week issupposed tohelp,along withthehouse being swept anddusted regularly willhelpwithyourallergies.
Those aretheexact same symtoms thatI hadtoward mycat.
Thesolution:
—brush cat daily (usea dog flea andtick remover comb)
—give cat a bath weekly (using dander removing shampoo)
—ifallergies persist,take a benadryl (thesepills work sowell!)
—dust andvaccum house ona regular basis
i havehardly hadanyallergies tomycat sincei startedbrushing andbathing her! hope thishelps!
I’m allergic tocats aswell. I owntwo short haired tabby cats. I musthavedeveloped a tolerance tothembecausetheydonotbother measmuch astheyused to. Mycat allergy gets worse whenmyoutdoor allergies kick in(spring andfall mostly)…I’ve never taken anymeds formyallergy,butyoumayneed to. Possibly see yourdoctor aboutwhattype wouldbebest foryou?
Also,somecats’hair isworse thanothers. AsI said,I cantolerate mytabby’s fur,butifI gotovisit mymom’s andherpersians sit onmeformore than10 minutes orsoORifI pet themthentouch myface,I’m miserablefortherest ofthenight. Persian hair isfiner thantabby andfloats intheair much easier. Forallergies,a short hair cat maybetheway foryoutogo,justmyopinion andexperience.
Vaccuuming everyday helps,ALWAYS wash yourhands aftertouching thecat andDONOTtouch youreyes until youdoso…brush thecat frequently torid themofexcess fur…Lint brushes areAWESOME forhair onfurniture andclothes (I likethedouble sided ones,notthesticky paper kind)…Hope thisinfo helps andyoucanenjoycompanionship ofthefeline persuasion
