I moved in with my girlfriend six weeks ago, and her cat is starting to really get my nasal passages agrivated. We do need a new filter for our HVAC, but what else can I do besides pump nasal spray all day?

Ionic breeze type thing? Humidifier? Shampoo the cat every once in a while? HEPA filter for the sweeper?

No, no...your approach to this is all wrong.

This is just the ticket:

Use liberally; recoat as necessary.

JUST KIDDING!!!

Seriously, though, you might try some of the treatments and solutions offered here.

Good luck to both you and Fluffy!

Best regards,

Eric

I have always been pretty allergic to cats and a lot of other things. My brother has a koon cat that is huge and full of long hair. I am often asked to take care of him while my brother is not home. After having bad seasonal allergies last year, I started taking Allegra-D once a day as well as Rhinacort nasal spray once a day as prescribed by my doctor. It has worked great. I can actually sit and pet and play with the cat without allergy problems. I hope you can find a solution.

I have (2) cats and at times their dander gets to me, so I get these wipes from the pet store and wipe them down to keep the dander down to a minimum. I vaccum twice a week with my Hoover Windtunnel to get it out of the carpet and ulpolstery. And when the wife is gone I chase them down and play vaaccum tag! "Just Kidding":cat:

My experience is an allergy serum in an oral or shot form may be in order.

Check with an allergist first, not just an ENT doctor.

Pet the kitty for me when you are better.:supergrin:

Well I don't have to deal with that cat. See I just moved out of my girlfrieds apt. thread. My friends I live with now have two cats.
