My wife loves cats, but I react to the allergens they make.
oh no :( i used to be allergic to cats but my wife really wanted a kitten so i got one for her and so far i'm doing okay
What type of reaction did you have?  They can cause coughing, wheezing, itching, rash, watering eyes, and a number of other symptoms.
that's what i used to have, my eyes used to be so itchy. We actually have 2 cats now. calico cat and a black cat
That's good that you no longer have that.  There are 5 different cat allergens that can cause reactions.
