441.0. "cat needs new home" by CSSE::CLARK (every day I have the blues) Wed Jan 07 1987 09:59

Our cat needs a new home. She spent the summer outside, then decided to
move inside when the really cold weather came along. We have since dis-
covered that our daughter is allergic to her. She is about 1 year old.
She is in excellent health, has had all her shots, and had a flea dip
in mid-November. Personality-wise, she is somewhat shy, but she is very
gentle with our toddler. She is all black except for a lick of white on
her chest. I would like to see her go to a good home. If you are interest-
ed, please call me or send me mail. I work in Stow, MA, and live in Sterling.

441.1overcoming cat allergiesNAC::E_MCDONALDWed Jan 07 1987 13:2112
    I also am allergic and have 5 cats and live in Sterling, Believe
    it or not!  My Vet told me to give the cats baths and keep them
    very clean.  He also said that the human body will start to adjust
    to the allergy with moderated exposure.  He was right,  by bathing
    the long haired cats(persians) once every two weeks and not allowing
    them to sleep on my bed at night, I had minor allergy problems at
    first and now they have gone away.  I can hug and pet them now
    with out any problems.  I still cant let them sleep up by my face
    at night.  If you want the cat try it.
    
    With 5 cats I couldn't live with another.

    I too had allergies to cats but over came them over the years. 
    If I hold them against my face, my skin becomes red and itchey,
    but my eyes and nose do not water or itch.
