I should have known the Reagans were cat lovers too!! Icing....
I wonder how Nancy is doing....xo
Maybe not, if it was just a kitten. I believe it takes awhile before a cat starts producing allergens.
I try to limit my direct exposure, regardless of the cat’s age.
My Dad’s cats, oddly, don’t bother me at all. He brushes them daily, and his wife keeps the house very clean.
Mine are all outdoor types ... they follow me around whenever I’m working the property. They run away whenever I start an engine, then re-appear as soon as I cut power.
I think that was a Ron Burgandy wanna be.
Kittens and cats are two different species of animals. Unlike dogs and puppies. Dogs are just bigger puppies. A cat is an animal that has had all the kitten removed and replaced with a PMS’d teenage girl.
I had a feral Maine Coon that I took out of my father’s apartment the night he died. We had a tussle or two. After that, he became utterly devoted. He used to climb up on my side and wait for me to go to sleep at night. After my bypass, he knew without being told that my chest was hurt, so he’d stay off of it, until I’d sufficiently healed.
I have a 22 lb. Maine Coon that I fostered for the shelter and ended up keeping. He had belonged to a woman who had a mental breakdown while here for the winter from up north-a snowbird tourist-she had thrown the cat out to survive on his own, and he was rescued. He always gets along great with the dog and two other cats, and is the enforcer of good behavior in the house.
