Black Cats?

In my rescue experience, MOST shelters won't adopt black cats out the month of October due to certain undesireables using them for satanic rituals on Halloween. Not sure about cats in your area.

Karen's right. Black cats don't produce more allergens than any other cat. It's actually the cat's saliva that dries and becomes airborne that most people are allergic to.

That is certainly true around here. In fact, when I was younger, everyone was advised to keep all their cats but specially the black ones, inside around Halloween. There was a cult in the area that was takeing them and torturing them and killing them. What IS the matter with some people??? sheesh!!!!!!!

Ask at a good pet store about wet wipes for cats. These are designed to keep the dander down that cats give off, which is what causes allergies in people.

A friend of mine had her grown daughter living with her for a while, and the daughter had two cats. My friend is very allergic - they tried the wipes and the result was fantastic!

ETA: My cousin has always loved cats, but her allergy sent her to the hospital when she was a little girl. When she got married later on, her husband had one cat. She decided to stick it out and over time - several years - her allergies diminished!
