I’m allergic to other people’s cats (to the point of asthma), but the ones I raised from kittens, I could stick my nose right in there and sniiiffffffff. (A cat who’s just had a cat-tongue-bath ranks just below clean people-babies in terms of smell.) So I think maybe antibodies have something to do with it. If you start with a domestic short-haired moggie kitten (at about six weeks), you may not have the huge problem you have with Other People’s Cats.
I’m one of the few who thinks hairless cats (Sphinx, etc.) are absolutely gorgeous, but they require a lot of maintenance. At a minimum, you have to rub moisturizer into their skin daily, and they need kitty clothes during the cold months. And they’re pure-bred, so you have seek out a reputable breeder and pay a premium. So I’ve never owned one.
Actually, when I was looking into the Sphinx cat, b/c my hubby is allergic… the info I got said being hairless probably wouldn’t affect the allergic reaction, as that is most times to dander. Or even to a substance in the cats’ saliva. So, no cute kiteh for us. Booooo.
Unless you have a true allergy (like my son does, dogs give him severe asthma attacks and a rash), you get used to ‘em, honestly. I always sneeze for a few days when I get a new kitty. Just cos you sneeze when you see a cat doesn’t mean you’re allergic.
What a lovely shade of orange this marmie is! And the mashed face, the unevenly opened eyes, the tucked-in tail, and curled up back leg–ee ees too moishe!
You have a dark blue chair and a marmalade cat.
– seriously –
You must also buy those lint rollers in bulk.
This reminds me of those posters from the 70′s where the frontman of a band would have his hand reaching out just to mess with stoned hippie mines. “Man, that jimi hendrix poster, he just reached out and grabbed me man.”

It’s photos like that which make me want a cat…..and then I think about how hard I’d sneeze. Anyone have one of those sneezeless cats? I want. Kinda.

That’s the true Spirit of Cuteness, starling!!
I’m the same way! Sometimes other people’s cats make me sneeze, but I love a good kittenhuff at the end of a stressful day.

And what do you dig from “hippie mines” pray tell?
Patchouli?
Alternate answer:
What don’t you dig in hippie mines?
L-7, man. Ell-seven.
Absolutely nothing. I’m scared by what rolls out of those VW minivans when they open the door and whatever’s in those ‘macrobiotic’ cookies.
I’ve got a dark blue sofa and a marmalade cat. And I’ve put a throw over the sofa!
Hayull YEAH!!!
