Hi all! Has anyone developed a cat allergy after owning cats? For context, I grew up with cats and have two cats but recently have been getting rashes / hives for the past month. Flare ups happen mostly after carrying my cats etc.

Yeah, I’ve heard allergies can evolve over time. They make cat wipes that are supposed to reduce dander (which causes allergies), and allergen sprays for furniture. Maybe those would help?

My vet told me the allergen causing protein in cat saliva is water soluble, so if youre able to wipe them down that could help

Yeah I do too…each time I gave her a brush or cut nails~full blown rash and sneeze.

Thank you for the advice!

I’ve also heard about this, might be worth a shot: https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-liveclear-adult/dp/302473?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12762206639&utm_content=Purina%20Pro%20Plan&utm_term=&gbraid=0AAAAADmQ2V0oInweZbv5uBha5PmhiKuyx&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo7ay8Mj39wIVU8qzCh3dIgzoEAQYASABEgLaNvD_BwE

We mix this in with another type of dry food with our cat and has helped a lot so far

You can also talk to your doctor about getting allergy shots. My nephew is allergic so they give him allergy shots to help combat the cat allergy

Not me but other members of my family discovered they had allergies after not having cats for a while.

That sounds like you should be getting allergy shots though.

Yes, I have had cats my whole life. Got an allergy test done a few years ago only to find out that is what is triggering my allergies. I’m a sucker though and I won’t “get rid” of my cats. I lost one to old age 2 yrs ago and I have one that’s just shy of 16 now. So I said when he passes, no more. But meanwhile, I live on allergy pills.

Is this new position also a part of BPO or does it come under IT or Technical Department? Also currently there is no hike being provided even though the band has changed from 0.3 to 1.1, can I expect a hike once the yearly cycle is completed?

Got a fat cat who has a timed/measured feeder. Still gaining weight. We were all stumped. Turns out my cattle dog shares her food with the cat every morning. Someone recommended a water spritz to get him away from the food. I basically soaked him for a few minutes while he stared at me and continued eating. Looks like I'll have to lock him up while the dogs eat from now on.
