Yes, Claritin works well for me. I take one tablet daily which allows to me enjoy the company of my 2 year old longhaired Ragdoll cat. I am allergic to cats.

Thanks to everyone for your advice. After just one night of trying a few things about which I read in this newsgroup, my kitten and I had a great evening together. Last night, I let him have the run of the house, except my bedroom. He loved the freedom, and I loved being able to sleep! Not only that, he seemed to adjust to being out of my room without any difficulty, for the first time. He didn't even meow once, because he was having such a ball! Also, he seems to have learned to stay away from the fish tank hood and cords. I guess he just somehow learned from the previous night, that he can watch the fish, but not attack the tank ;- ) If my allergies, which didn't cause me a single problem last night--not even one sniffle, don't give me any major problems, I think we're going to be just fine. Even if they do, my kitty won't be completely out of my life, because my girlfriend will adopt him. This wouldn't be very hard on my kitty, because he's been at my girlfriend's house for a few days already, and he really is fond of her. If she adopted him, then I could stay at her house and see him every weekend. I don't think this will be necessary, though. I think I'm going to be able to, thanks to all of the good advice I've been given, handle any allergy problems that have come my way. Thanks again! JR |

enlightened us with... Thanks to everyone for your advice. After just one night of trying a few things about which I read in this newsgroup, my kitten and I had a great evening together. Glad to hear it. I'm sure you two will do wonderfully together. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Black holes were created when God divided by 0.
