We're a family of cat allergy sufferer for the most part. Its a horrible thing to have. Yes there's medication to take but they don't take away all of the symptoms of the allergy. We just kind of stay away from cats which is really really difficult when you're granddaughter is desperate for a kitten to love. She just cant have one tho.

My husband and eldest are both allergic and when we moved into our last villa it took weeks for their symptoms to stop - the previous tenant had had cats and we found hair everywhere, even on top of the fridge !!

My sister has serious cat allergy. She was always advised to stay away from cats. It can be dangerous. Once she visited a friend's parents and felt itchy and sneezy over dinner, so asked about cats. They said their cat was always outside, no worries. She kept feeling itchy, had rash, runny nose, scratchy throat, tears. She woke in the middle of the night with difficulties with breathing, they needed to call the ambulance. Turned out the cat used to be allowed to that room... Please find somewhere else to stay. <em>edited by dentro on 24/05/2013</em>
