I developed an allergy to cats about 18 yrs ago, I have several other allergy problems as well, however after adopting our stray Ash I somewhat desensitised myself, I am still allergic, but putting myself amongst them, having them all over the house seems to have helped, I still take medication, and having the two of them has made things a bit worse, and unfortunately this year has been particularly bad in NZ for the pollens, etc, so I have been feeling pretty under the weather with my allergies, but there is no way I would give up my precious kitties, they are here to stay until my dying day.

Lexie sleeps on the end of the bed everynight, and I love that she does that, I just cannot bring myself to keep her out, I know its not the best thing to do, but I am too soft, and she is so cute, Ash is more furry and I find myself more allergic to him, although I read light coloured cats cause less allergy problems, seems to be the opposite in my case, can't always believe everything you read it seems.

We shall soldier on allergies and all, for the love of our kitties.
