My now wife didn’t really like cats when I met her and was allergic to the point of the hair giving her little welts.
Fast forward a couple few years and she loves my cat and just ends up taking allergy pills every day and dealing with the itching.
Fast forward a few more years when that cat dies and she says she doesn’t think we can ever replace him.
Fast forward one month and she comes home with a flyer for a rescue cat she wants to adopt.
And we did and she couldn’t be happier.
Cat: “Oh, you still think he’s YOUR boyfriend?”
I’d like everyone to look at this because this is proof cats also abide by the “they fell asleep, guess I’m stuck here” rules.
My cat abides by the “they fell asleep, guess I need to paw their face to let me out of the room now” rules.

I am disappointed this is not a real sub
Eww, reddit.
…Is he still allergic?
Allergies are not as linear as allergy = death/miserable. Some dander is not the same as others and some people only react to certain types. He could have just been bullshitting too.
Allergy meds can also help a ton. I’m mildly allergic. Congestion, itchy eyes and face. I had one cat, married into 5 more. I’m fine as long as I stay on top of my allergy meds.
Sadly I could never live with a cat or dog as their dander makes my airways slowly close up :(
My sister was very allergic to cats when she was a kid. Then one day she just sort of turned up with this cat. My sister’s friends cat had kittens and this was one of the kittens.
Anyway she was afraid my parents would say no so she hid the cat in her room for 2 or 3 days before my parents noticed. By which point it was somewhat of a done deal.
Anyway 16 years later when the cat died my sister was no longer allergic, so if you spend enough time around them you do eventually become desensitized. Or at least some people seem to.
Yeah, animals can be breathtaking.
my allergies got better as i lived with cats longer. either way it’s more put-up-with-able than not having a cat
immunotherapied yourself
I’m allergic to cats but grew up with one (she lived to 21!) and my fiance has a cat and we moved in together. It’s fine I just have to keep the cat away from my face and I wash my hands after petting her.
Even if I don’t I just get really itchy, it’s not the worst. Worth it for the pets and cuddles.
Well… is he still breathing?
Imagine dating someone who says any of those things.
I know right! When someone says they have allergies, I’m like no thanks weirdo, I don’t want your disgusting allergies. Go cry into the tissues you have in your pocket already probably because you have allergies loser!
I know this was a joke but im sorry you are getting down arrows for it.
“I am allergic”
Looks real allergic with his face buried in the cat.
I am allergic to cats and have allowed a cat to rub it’s head against my face multiple times, because that cat was a bro (and I had loratadine).
Also don’t really like cats in general because most of them are jerks, just that specific one was, as I mentioned, a bro.
Oh yeah no hate on that. But if i tell someone i have a cat and they tell me im allergic im like. Okay we can go one of two ways here and i will try my best not to show up with cat hair on my clothes.
Allergies so bad that he died.
Maybe the cat’s in the process of slowly assassinating him, we don’t know.
They are all doing that to us. They are professionals.
It’s funny to me because it looks more like he fell asleep and the cat put itself there
I think if the cat was responsible it’s ass would be in the guys face lol
He fell asleep awfully close to the edge
I remember my friend once saying “I hate cats” whilst cradling mine in his arm like a baby and stroking his head.
Cats are bad for the planet and horrible for the local ecosystem but if they are already around I will pet them.
Humans are bad for the planet and horrible for the local ecosystem, but if they are already around I will have sex with them.
Just use protection, otherwise there will be even more in a few years.
What exactly are indoor only cats doing to the planet & ecosystem?
Indoor cats don’t destroy the local ecosystem, but they still eat a large amount of meet. I totally forgot about them as cats around here are usually outdoor cats.
Toxoplasmosis
Excellent song by Radiohead 👍
Whole album is epic
Urban legend
The look on the cat’s face says, “This is how you dominate a person, amateur.”
I’m pretty much the same. Cats are terrible creatures and I would never intentionally own one. But I’m not going to hold it against my partner’s two cats that they are cats, so they get scritches and nap times with me.
The cats have domesticated you.
I have 2 of the vile critters now, one I inherited from my ex, the other one just kind of showed up.
That cat’s face says “I fixed him”.
Or “He’s mine now.”
“Where’s your boyfriend, Rebecca?”
I like dogs, I just don’t like living with them. I like cats, I just don’t like living with them.
The woman I love, well, she likes living with them.
This is me this morning.
No, this don’t mean I like living with them, but I handle it for her because I love her. Hell, I even love them, but I don’t like living with them.
Like, I really love them. I just don’t like cleaning poo when they screw up or the sneezing because the cat only likes me for some reason. I mean, I’m nice to her because she’s a person too, but I don’t really like living with her.
Let’s just face the truth, they are the “true” ruler of this planet.
So he’s dating a human now?
That’s my wife. When we meet she hated cats, then afer years of cats videos she was like ok i tolerate them, but were not going to have a cat. After meeting some neighbor cats, she was like ok, you can adopt a cat but I’m not going to love him, after a week she was cuddling with him and thanking me for bringing a kitty to our life.
