What does this mean? It also depends on the severity of the allergy, and how much time he spends at your house. I have a moderate cat allergy, so I can be in a house/room with cats for a few hours and be fine if I've taken an allergy pill beforehand (Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec - all OTC and would be easy for your BF to try). If I pet the cat, I have to wash my hands immediately. I wouldn't be able to do an extended stay (more than a day) without having symptoms. OTOH, I know someone with such a severe cat allergy they can't be in a "cat house" for an hour, even with meds. |

I would never in a million years re-home my cat simply because I began dating someone who had allergies.
B-A-D advice!! 
That is a huge reason why so many animals end up homeless & stuck in shelters. For the fact that someone else entered the picture + the pets no longer were priorities. When one adopts a pet, the goal is that the new owner will provide a loving and "fur"-ever home....Not just a home until their pet becomes an inconvenience or a pest, etc. If someone new came into my life & gave me an ultimatum between him or my cats....Well let's just say that action in itself would showcase to me what an arrogant + selfish person he was!! Bar none. When if someone got rid of their cats and later found out their S/O was a liar, cheater or abuser...??! At least animals are loyal creatures who will ALWAYS offer you their unconditional love for life. |
