People that are allergic to cats- can they live in a house with cats?

Question

This may sound like a really dumb question..but i was wondering if people that are allergic to cats are they capable of living with cats in a household? And if they have to live around a cat what kind of problems will they have..like sneezing?

My cousin is allergic to cats and she may have to stay with us for a while until she finds a place of her own..So i was wondering if it would be hard for her to live with us because we have a cat in the house.

Answer 1

I can if I take allergy shots, but otherwise no.

Answer 3

i`m very allergic to animals. and i've had a cat and a dog. eventually you`ll build up an immunity to the allergy. it just may be h**l for a few months.

And If im in the same house of a cat,

I sneeze,

I'ts like having the flu 24/7.

So,It's h**l.

But we could,

It would just be terrible for the person allergic.

Answer 5

yes but you need to get an electronic air purifier. The distress comes from the <strong> fine</strong> hair particles that float off of the little guy. The negatively charged ions will attract the skin flakes and hair causing it to fall to the carpet. You may safely vacuum the debris each day. I got an edenPURE on eBay for about $150. It  Also clears out a lot of other junk,  It comes on automatically every once in a while and clears the air in a day or two. Wish I had another one for the other end of the house.
