minus-squarerizzothesmall@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down1·12 days agoI don’t necessarily hate cats, but I can’t stand to be around them because I am wildly allergic to them
minus-squareDeceptichum@quokk.auOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27arrow-down1·12 days agoThat is a completely valid reason. There’s always the ballsack cats if you want to experience one.
minus-squarestray@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up14·11 days agoThe problem with cat allergies is their saliva, not the fur, so hairless cats are still a problem.
minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 days agoPersonally, I’m more allergic to the litterbox dust and shit smell than fur or saliva. Also pretty sure it’s going to be subjective as to what will set someone’s allergies off, as allergies are extremely subjective.

minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 days agoI have cat allergies, and I can tell you for a fact that I am still allergic to sphinx cats. Possibly even more so. It has never stopped me from interacting with cats though, I just have to try to remember to take a zyrtec or something before hand
minus-squarethe_q@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up12·12 days agoI remember reading something a long time ago about parents telling their kids they were allergic to cats to keep from having a cat as a pet, and the kids growing up believing that only to one day discover it was never true.
minus-squareButteryMonkey@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 days agoI’ve got the opposite going on! I’ve been allergic to them my whole life and have always had them, and was told I wasn’t allergic! Neat!
minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 days agoIt could have been true. Growing out of allergies isn’t too uncommon. I used to be allergic to all sorts of things that’re just fine now.
