I was allergic to cats, along with several other things, but when I
recently got tested, they said I'd finally built up my own immunity,
hurrah - Otis can now sleep on the bed again!


Oh man, I hope this happens to me. I never did stop sleeping
with mine, and now I have severe asthma on top of the allergies.
The doctor said, when he saw the horror on my face at his suggestion
that I get rid of the cats, "well, perhaps you can just not replace
them when they die." Then, at the horror on my face cause by
the mere notion of "replacement" for my perfect cats, he said,
"Well, they don't live forever, do they?" At that point I thought
it best to change the subject. Definitely not a cat man. But he
is allergic to the same things I am and an asthmatic to boot, so
I trust him. With every thing but my cats!
