Maya is a beautiful cat. I can see how you fell in love with her. I had the same problem with my allergies. Weird isn't it. I guess I'm trying to make up for lost time with the feline clam because I have now 6 cats. and like you I couldn't have one around me. It broke my heart because I was raised with cats and alway loved all animals. These animals a beautiful. I just look at mine and think a feline is one of the most beautiful animal god ever created. I have dogs too and love them too death. I look at them and I;m equally amazed at there beautiful coats and precious eyes. Not to mention the beautiful souls in each. I fell extremely blessed that I can have them in my home and spoil them. Good luck to both of you. maya is beautiful.
