Does you child really have that bad of a reaction to cat fur if he even walks anywhere near it outdoors, or would he have to sit directly on it and get it all over his clothes in order to have a reaction? It seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to protect one child from one particular seat cushion (because it's a cat and it will randomly pick a favorite one). I have people who are allergic to cats in my house all the time - they just take a Claritin and they're fine, even if the cats sleep directly on them. Maybe I've just never seen a really severe cat allergy. I know cat-allergic asthmatics who live with cats 24/7.

THIS.

Cat allergy is not like a peanut allergy. Take some claritin. How do you know the kid isn't having a grass/tree/pollen other outdoor season thing allergy?

Do you refuse to go places where you may run into cats? This is just weird. It is easier to adjust to the allergy than to attempt to remove cats from an outdoor space.

Actually, on Claritin, washing my hands after I pet my cats, not letting them sleep in my bed, and jumping through every other hoop of rules of "how to live with your cats if you are allergic to them", i developed hard to control asthma. It's irreversible, and I was on the brink of death three times. Last episode occurred years after cats died of old age. I gave them to my mom when they were 2 and 3, they lived with her for over a decade.
This is not something to full with.

If the kid's allergies are that serious, I recommend those plastic bubble balls. You never know when a stray cat will come along, or even its dander blowing in the wind outside. It's not worth taking the risk, OP.

Right. Because a sick kid is funny. A bubble. Haha.

Why is Trump trying to ban Muslims when cats are the real enemies? Where is to EO to ban cats from patio furniture?

OP, any advice as to how I can get acorns to stop falling on my lawn or birds to stop pooping on my car? Lemme know, k?

Also, consider that the cats believe you purchased some lovely new seats for them and will be puzzled as to why you object to them sitting on THEIR new furniture.

Seriously, though, there are some sprays you can use to deter cats from an area. or you could screen in your porch and be sure no cats could get in.

NP:

The bolded is seriously a myth. The reason that the cat goes for the person who "hates" them is because they don't enjoy being sufficated with love from all the cat lovers so they go to the quietest person in the room. You may be a cat person but, you don't know cats. A cat likes a comfortable chair. It is that simple. Cats are not going over there to spite anyone.

I have yard furniture and birds poop on it. But you never hear people say, "Get bird poison". For some reason people always think about killing cats. That's really damaged.

I am a PP and honestly bird poop was far less of a problem than the 17 piles of cat crap in my landscaping. This may have Ben due to the fact that the piece of sh*t cat ate all the heads off the birds in the backyard and left the bodies behind.

Wow. Have you truly never met people seriously allergc to cats? I am allergic, but can be around them from time to time (not that I want their hair on my patio furniture). But my mother, sister, and cousin cannot be in a house with them. They all have trouble breathing and need inhalers. My cousin has had to go to the hospital before. It takes some serious arrogance to tell someone else their allergy is not a big deal.

I used to work for a dentist who's best friend had a neighborhood cat problem. The thing loved to lounge on his deck. He spray painted a bullseye on its side and shooed it home. End of problem for him.

I love cats too much to give you a good answer to your question OP.

Just be grateful that they do not scratch the cushions.

This is a crime.

yeah right, since the neighbors have cats they don't keep inside my child can't use the porch? No. I'd put the thing in a crate and take it to animal control. I hate rogue cats. My husband is super allergic, I'd have no qualms about getting rid of cats that live outside.

Rogue cats? I believe cats have been around a lot longer than humans.

Not on my porch. It's not my cat, it is my property, and I don't want it there. Period. I'd treat it like a squirrel or other rodent, as it's own owners are doing the same.

Well then tell the cats it's your property.
