Hi. I've had my cat since August. He sleeps in my bed every night and has done so since I've got him. I've always had an incredibly mild allergy to cats...mostly when they scratch me I sometimes get very itchy (but not always), or if there are a metric buttload of them in the room (as in a shelter), my throat and eyes will be a bit scratchy. Otherwise I'm fine.

In the past several weeks, I have been sneezing a fuckton and when go to bed and wake up in the morning my nose is entirely stuffed up and runny. It goes away once I'm up and moving, but I'm still periodically sneezing whenever I'm at home. The litter boxes are NOT in my bedroom.

Any tips??? I don't want to kick him out of the bed. :(((

You know, an anecdote still seems like more legit data than some of the articles I saw. Unless... you're also sponsored???? (joking) There does seem to be a lot of potential in targeting the allergin cats make, so I'm genuinely hopeful about these kinds of treatments.

Ha, no, just something that happened recently that lined up with the current topic. Like I said, just an anecdote, there wasn't any science involved, just something I took note of.
