This comic is so inaccurate. When you’re allergic to cats you develop a dislike for them, or at least want them to stay away. When I walk into a store and see a cat on the counter I cuss loudly and leave

I think you’re right honestly, I just still like the idea of cats. But I do see them as deadly bombs of ichy sneezy hell.

I’m allergic to cats and have pet cats. Seems pretty accurate to me.

I don’t understand this. How “allergic” are you? If I’m in the same room as a cat. I start to itch around my sock are, and neck. Within minutes my sock line is red and my neck looks like I got bad razor burn. Another couple minutes Ava my eyes are itchy and foggy, followed by the constant skin itching and discomfort. So there’s no way I could own a cat even if I wanted to, unless it’s one of those hairless weirdos that look cool

I think you just don’t like cats and trying to find a justification for it.

I have cat allergies, but as long as I don’t touch my face after petting them I’m usually fine.

I don’t have any cats, but I do enjoy their company when I’m visiting someone who does have them.

I had cat allergies as a kid, but my first girlfriend in college had a cat, and after a week or two of waking up with eyes crusted shut every morning I just got over it. Glad I did because I love cats, toxoplasmosis notwithstanding.

I find I’m fine so long as I don’t rub my face on the cat and wash my hands before touching my face.

It feels weird that I’m so heavily allergic to dust. Meanwhile I can nuzzle my face into dogs and cats. Immune systems are bizarre things.

The toxoplasmosis makes me do it.

Yeah, people always mention that I’m allergic to cats when I pet them. It’s definitely worth it.
