Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2004allergic to cat
my boyfriend had become allergic to Shaina. :( damn sensitization! over the past 2 months he has been getting more and more allergic to her. he is not going into an anaphylactic shock, or anything like that, but it's pretty bad. is there anything we can do to help him with that? i have something to wipe her down with, called Simple Solution that needs to be used weekly. i don't think it's helping. the only thing that helps him is bennadryl and that knocks him out. we are not giving her away. any other allergy sufferers here? how did you deal with that? -L your boyfriend could take (prescription) Allegra or some other antihistamine..it's him, not the cat. \ www.mimiforsyth.com >your boyfriend could take (prescription) Allegra or some other >antihistamine..it's him, not the cat. \ > >www.mimiforsyth.com ahm, yeah, it's him. ok. i wouldn't be asking if he didn't try Rx medication. -L chochowin@aol.com (Mimi Forsyth) writes >your boyfriend could take >(prescription) Allegra or some other >antihistamine..it's him, not the cat. \ Uh..she knows that.

Are you up to >bathing the cat? thanks. i can bathe her, no problem. she'll bite and scream, but she doesn't hurt much. doesn't bathing make her skin more dry and make the dander flake off? _L It depends on the shampoo you use and the cat. Regularly bathing helps reduce the dander and of course helps get rid of loose hair. People who show cats bathe their felines all the time before each show. This is why you see so many at them that look clean and have finer coats. Part of it is conditioning and the other is because they bathe them a couple of days before each show so the coat's natural oils can form again.  SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) See my cats: http://photos.yahoo.com/maccandace "One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human." (Loren Eisely) That too might work. I am not sure if the cat is the problem or not. The OP seemed to state that her boyfriend became allergic a couple of months ago. She also said that he could be allergic to anything because he has asthma and also has a room she said is dusty and dirty. If the cat has been in there then it is possible she is carrying the allergen from something she stepped in or rolled around in. The OP also stated that her boyfriend sneezed for the rest of the day from cat litter. I am beginning to think it may not be cat dander but other causes now. An allergy medication might help but perhaps an allergy doctor might be helpful in this situation. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

You say he has asthma yet he hasn't had allergies for 4 years? What about your statement that he always has allergies when he goes home to Vancouver and that he has a dusty and dirty room. That could be exactly where the allergen has originated and if the cat rolls around in the dust and dirt she could be carrying the allergen around on her hair. From the way you post it sounds like are trying to lay the blame on the cat as being the cause when a dirty room or apartment can probably hold all types of allergens. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

"blame the cat". yes, it's all Shaina's fault that her dander is an allergen. that's because she is responsible for the allergic properties of her dander and her saliva and she sent those evil particles to do her evil bidding and thus to cause an immediate hypersensitivity reaction in my boyfriend. it's also all my boyfriend's fault that his IgE's are overactive and react to Shaina's evil dander allergens. i think i shall banish them both because i think they consorted to torment me from now to perpetuity, while i ponder the ways to put an end to their devious plot. /rolls eyes. -L > she doesn't "roll around in the dust". she is not a chinchilla.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > really needs to see an allergist again. Accolate, Advair - good meds that > prevent. I can't believe the difference just a few weeks on Advair had made for me. You can't be allergic to the cat but what the cat might have on its hair. For example, if someone were allergic to pollons they can carry it in from the outside on their clothing or even skin. Same goes for cats. If they are outside and come in they can bring it in on their hair. I myself am an allergy sufferer but I find it hard to believe that someone could go to one place and not have allergies and then travel to another and not have them (going from one state and travelling to another for example). Cats don't just suddenly say "hey, let's have our human sneeze and develop some more allergies for them." Allergins can travel in all sorts of ways and I don't think a cat is an allergin. They do however roll around in all sorts of things and can bring whatever they rolled around in to their human causing them to sneeze if they have allergies. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

"you can't be allergic to the cat", but you "can be allergic to the room"? guess what, a person travels to an different area. there are different plants there, not the same bloody ones that he is used to. guess what? he develops an allergy to the pollen from those plants. it's called an immediate hypersensitivity reaction mediated by T cells. allergies don't "travel". people travel. you are ignorant and annoying. the cat is an indoor cat so if she "rolls around", it's in the same stuff that's always been in the bloody apartment. -L >>You can't be allergic to the cat but what the cat might have on its hair. >>For example, if someone were allergic to pollons they can carry it in from [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >pollen from those plants. it's called an immediate hypersensitivity >reaction mediated by T cells. i am sorry, the immediate hypersensitivity reaction is mediated by IgEs and the delayed hypersensitivity reaction, which is the case here, is mediated by T cells. http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzpgzEzzSzppdocszSzuszS zcommonzSzdorlandszSzdorlandzSzdmd_r_04zPzhtm#10160516 CP, why don't you read this and stop asking annoying questions. -L I was trying to help.

BTW, name calling is not necessary especially when people are trying to help. I find your posts a little more confusing on this issue. First you say that your boyfriend didn't have problems for the first two months with the cat, now he has problems with the cat regarding allergies. Then you stated he hadn't had problems in 4 years yet you stated he has a dirty room and has problems with them in Vancouver. Blaming the cat seems a little bit easy here and I am not sure if you are forgetting some facts. As far as allergies not traveling, people and animals get allergies, allergens can travel. There are plenty of allergens that can travel by air. Pollens for example can do this. Molds also can do so as well. Dust is also another allergen. You stated that your boyfriend has a messy and dusty room yet the rest of your apartment is clean. Perhaps your cat has been in his room and layed on top of something she shouldn't have. Another explanation for possible cleaners can also be certain cleaners as well. You may want to look at that as well. An allergy specialist can help in this situation. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

How did one such as yourself become so perfect? You have no experience with cats at all since you made some very bold statements about them such as they never rub up against or roll around in things. They in fact do and thus might pick up an allergen unknowingly. Your boyfriend is not allergic to cats but what they might have picked up. You are very quick to fault the cat on this one. If he is so allergic to cats then why did you state he now gives the cat nose kisses? You also had the cat for 6 months before all this started. I find it odd that all of a sudden he is allergic. I asked questions which is what a smart person does if they need the air cleared. Your posts were very confusing. Perhaps you need to explain things so they are easier to understand not resort to name calling and putdowns because some don't understand what you are trying to say. I have said enough.

He has allergies in one place, then doesn't have them in another? Very odd. You claim the cat doesn't roll around in dust but cats have been known to roll around on dirty floors and even outside. Cats often rub up against surfaces. I am beginning to think you are blaming the cat for the allergy since dust and things being brought in from the outside can also carry the allergen.

She has very little knowledge of cats To use an analogy for comparison of your knowledge about cats and Sherry's, Sherry is about as far above you as you are above an ameba. The major difference between intelligent people and you is that intelligent people know how ignorant they are, whereas idiots like you don't know how stupid you are. That's why you don't (can't) learn. Cats do rub on surfaces and even up against surfaces. This is a way of marking their territory and letting you know an area or object is theirs. Cats are equipped with glands located glands located on different parts of their body like the forehead, front paws, flanks, and even rear. When they rub up against an object or even their human they secrete a pheremone which tells the cat it is theirs. It is a form of communication. If you knew about cats you would have known this fact. Cats can roll around in and brush up against lots of things which might also house an allergen. You obviously think otherwise so you must know something about cats the rest of the humane race doesn't. I read through your posts a couple of times and I find a few things confusing. Your first said he never saw an allergest? Then you changed gears and said he was tested and received allergy shots. Which is it? I am confused. Why did you come here for help if you didn't want people to offer advice or ask questions to better help you? I was trying to help and rule out every possibility but you seem hell bent that it must be the cat when there are so many other possibilities to rule out here. I guess one can't help you since you already have all the answers here. I wish I was perfect such as yourself and had all the answers. Thanks for allowing us to see this.

Signature-Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com Well here is why I found it odd. He has allergies in Vancouver, yet didn't have them in the current place of residency. Then after 6 months after having a cat the OP said it was 2 months ago he was starting to have the problem. Yes the climate of Vancouver and New York may be different but some species of plants can grow in both places. As for escaping to the Southwest because of allergies, that is not always true. My brother lives in Washington state and has allergies but when he came here to visit he still had to carry that breathing device for asthma and still had to use it on occasion. Here in Arizona spring and fall are usually times when the pollen count is high and many allergy sufferers sneeze, cough, and have watery eyes. As per my earlier post, I also stated a cat can roll around in things inside. When the OP stated her boyfriend had a dirty room, I figured a cat can still around in the dust and such. Allergens can also be inside as well which the OP thinks is nonesence. As an allergy sufferer, allergens can be carried even indoors by humans. If he has always had allergies around cat hair which can carry an allergen then the OP did not state this. The OP merely said she didn't have this problem until 2 months ago after having the cat for 6 months. I found this odd so I asked the OP to explain and all I get is name calling and put-downs. The OP is posting as if she knows it all. She obviously doesn't know anything about cats if she is going to state they never roll around or rub up against things. This is one explanation where a cat could pick up and carry an allergen and not produce it themselves. SignatureCat Galaxy: All Cats!

I think it is disgusting that many of you resort to name calling and put downs because someone doesn't post to your satisfaction or shares your viewpoint. This newsgroup used to be a great place to come to get cat advice but now has become a pretty bad place to come to if you want to post about anything cat related.

Allergies are weird that way. Did you know that people can also be *more* sensitive to a particular cat over another. I also remember some study about lighter-haired cats bothering allergy sufferers worse than light hairs. (or maybe the other way around). It must be very frustrating and difficult to pinpoint the real source to treat. >>People can be allergic to the pollen of a tree that grows in one area of a >>country and not the other.

It must be very frustrating and > difficult to pinpoint the real source to treat. *tiptoes into this mess* My husband has been able to live with a long-haired grey female cat for years. Introduce a short-haired black male cat (neutered), and his allergies went nuts, and he got seriously sick several times over a one-month period. I'm guessing his immune system was affected enough that he became more susceptable to whatever's making the rounds. Combine this with my first cat's utter hatred/terror for the new cat, and unfortunately we are looking for a new home for the boy, even though he is the sweetest, most loveable cat we've ever met. I've shed many a tear, and I'm sure I'm not done. Signaturemonique >>I still am confused here. He has allergies in one place, then doesn't have >>them in another? Very odd.

Well, that's ONE type of allergy testing - no wheels though - "wheals". LOL. I remember the first time I had it done, kind of crossing my fingers and toes that the cat and dog marks wouldn't react.

It's also the only one that works for me. Except it doesn't make me at all drowsy, unlike the OP's BF. People are different. Their systems are different. Which is why we have so many options in pharmaceuticals. Even painkillers take up half an aisle at the store. Excedrine works for some, tylenol for others. Heck, I have three different kinds for different painkillers just for myself. Headaches, muscle aches, and cramps all get cured best by different medicines for me.
