I sure hope it does not come to that, please re-consider, there are many people allergic to cats on PT, I am one of them and now own two, having lived without the beautiful creatures for 18 years of my life, and not having the heart to say no to my daughter who wanted to adopt a stray, the big great cat know as Ash in my sig.

My son also has asthma, but he does not live in the house, so that does help, I do find my allergies do play up now and then and i need medication, but I am less allergic now I have put myself amongst two of them , than i ever was before, I believe i have de-sensitised myself.

I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope the bathing helps, just consider all your options before giving up on your furbabies.

Someone once suggested I get a mesh laundry bag and put the cat in that, zipping it up to it neck. This way the cat's head is exposed and gives you leverage. I've never tried it personally, but I've been told it works wonders.

The cat shampoo I use is Top Paws. It's tearless and smells good.
