Re: FOR ADOPTION: 1 year old cat!

miss.bee: its too bad you are allergic to simba! i'm actually very allergic to cats as well however, we got our cinnamon about 2 years ago, and although it was a bit tough with the symptons when we first got her, i'm perfectly fine with her as of current.

we tried a whole host of things including buying a air purifier with a hepa filter. also, people who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to the protein in the cat's saliva, which basically gets swept up into the air when they lick themselves, and that saliva dries. it helps to wope down your cat every so often with a wet towel to catch the dried saliva before it gets released into the air.

so there are a few things you can try if you want to keep simba in your home. good luck!
