Cat Allergies? How can you be allergic to 1 cat and Not Another???

[Grace]

My former sister-in-law was allergic to Siamese cats, and only Siamese.

I'm actually mildly allergic to my two girls, Teenie and Tiny. They are short haired tabby cats and and I have no clue why I react to them when I don't react to my other short haired tabby cats. But because the reaction is mild and only causes sniffles and itchy skin, I don't let it stop me. They are so scrumptious I just couldn't keep away if I tried.
It sounds like her reaction is a stronger one and she's only known them for a short time so I can kind of see how she is able to make the decision. But it sad for the orangies. They are so cute. I too hope that they will be adopted out together. There isn't any chance that she will turn them out onto the street is there? It would be awful if they ended up back where they started.
Hopefully she uses the shelter that you suggested and that they have wonderful futures ahead of them with their forever homes.

No we told her we would take them back but it's just so hard because we still have Athena we haven't found a home for and she's been here for 3 weeks as well and now to take 2 more cats that would mean we would have 9 in a one bedroom apartment which for my cats seem a little too unfair especially as it is now we don't have enough space for the cats we have.

Hopefully she will be able to take them to paws.

Thank God I am not allergic to Cats as we would be in a tough spot.
I was reading that for some reason the generation coming up has more allergies than the previous ones as they are cocooned more, and dont build up thier immunity systems.
