Are you allergic to certain pet or pet product?

I am not allergic to animals, but hubby is allergic to cats. We still have cats, but they live outside not in the house. I miss having a cat inside, but I do not miss the hair everywhere. They are well taken care of and sheltered; just not inside. We have a litter of kittens now that we are taming so they can go to their new homes soon, and if I play with them a lot then get too close to hubby he gets stuffy. I try to wear a coat that is just for chores and playing with the cats, but when it is nice out I forget and he ends up stuffy.

My sneezes are violent, my nose is itchy all the time and my nose leaks. It's awful. But I still play with them, give them love and talk to them.

When Max, my fiancee's nine-year-old cat, realized I was allergic to him in that month he was quite sad and reserved. It was cute.

I also have to comment on this post: I too believe it is an allergy to something more and different than the cats. If it was an allergy to the cats, the symptoms would be there every month, not just May. Perhaps it is the pollen that flies around from the trees?
