You can pm me if you have more questions or check with your doctor.
Great news! I am already noticing a huge decrease in my allergies. I usually build up a resistance pretty quick, and this was the case with Minion. I have only taken my inhaler twice today, and that's pretty good, considering I took my inhaler twice in just the first 2 hours of his first morning with us. I think the bath helped, too, although Minion's going to hate me if I do it on a regular basis How often should I bathe him? I usually bathe my dogs every 3 weeks, but they are both well behaved and they both expect baths. They don't love them, but they really don't hate them. It is attention, after all

One of my good friends who is really allergic to cats will be coming over every so often and she's pregnant and I don't want her pumping herself with her inhaler when ever she comes over for a visit. Is every 3 weeks too often to bathe a cat? I have started him on really good food so that should also help with his dander production, too.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the good news on my health improvements. I knew it was ment to be with him. He's truly too wonderful to lose. It would crush me. I knew the first time he waltzed into my near-empty apartment as I was cleaning it out, carefree and just as causual as anything, that he was special and we connected right away.

I need a new banner on my signature which includes my new feline friend
