We had a neighborhood cat who would show up at the back door meowing for treats and scritches. I am strongly allergic and would run inside after petting her to wash my hands thoroughly and take two Benadryl.

I would still break out in hives all over my arms every single time. But I couldn't just not pet her! This meme is perfect.

Rest in peace, Bella. You were a very good kitty.

That's been me for long enough that I don't react much anymore. Only took about 40 years of regular exposure. Worth it!

I beat my allergies into submission. No drugs. Only tolerance.

Yeah that's me. Some cats are worth the itchy eyes and rash

Bullshit. I'm allergic to cats and it gives you a natural dislike for them. Also I'm convinced that cats are creatures from another dimension or planet, they're toxic, demon creatures

That's exactly why our neighbor went to sphinx. It didn't stop them from interacting other cats though.

Endure, you can overcome it 💪 💪💪❤

Honestly it's more socially acceptable to die petting the cat than it is to want the cat to stay away from you. People get mad "don't be mean to the puppies or kitties".

Yep, this is my life.

Not every hero wears a cape:-D

Worth it.
