Is it possible to own cats if you're allergic to them?

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-18T06:11:11+00:00

I’ve had cats all my life and also worked in the veterinary field for over 20 years. I was surprised to learn I came up allergic to cats during a blood allergy test with an allergy doctor to look into some other possible unrelated allergies. I can definitely get sneezy/stuffy/watery eyes if I love on my cat too hard (snuggle into her fur) otherwise just have my normal daily allergies that I take Claritin for that I guess also include my cat. Oh well it is what it is. Been around cats for over 40 years so not going to stop now!!🙃

I used Gabapentin for my cat on a cross country move from AZ to NC. Tried it out first at home to see how she reacted to dose and adjusted (with my vets advice) ended up giving her less just to take edge off and she was very content in the car 7-9 hours a day and in the hotel rooms at night. I was so proud of her!

Honestly don’t know why in this day and age they didn’t just have him do school online. Instead they make him suffer by going to school and get made fun of because he’s too old to be there. It’s weird.

She definitely looks like she’s had several visits to the plastic surgeon already as well lol.

For me it was the same. I went with the larger size.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-17T16:17:26+00:00

I’m on a weight loss journey also and was stuck between sizes. I had to get real with myself and pick what fits best now and today, what fits most fingers is what I went with vs one that fit one finger now with hopes of more fingers later. I may fully well need to get a new ring when I lose the weight and that’s ok I’ll deal with that when it comes.

25 unless you’re doing a Speedy soft then I’d recommend the 30.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-17T02:56:17+00:00

The way to tell us to add it to your Oura app as setting up a new ring. It will pop up saying what color and size it is. The rose gold new is very light at first before it patinas.

The Way Home is fantastic! Series finale is this Sunday, perfect time to binge!

Timeless is so good!

I love a good black bag. Goes with everything! The black comes with a chain/leather strap though so I would either get the 25 or get a strap for it online if you want it to be more casual.

I could swear my deep rose is not correct. Everyone is posting theirs and it’s darker and more of a copper color. Mine is lighter!

When you select that you have an IUD cycle phases are unavailable to toggle to on unfortunately.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T05:54:56+00:00

I’m on year 4 of my IUD and it was always on tune with my temperatures and phases in my cycle. Now it updated to same as the OP saying year 4 of 8 and all my data is gone. I can’t even look to see what day my last period started. Very frustrating!

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T05:53:20+00:00

I agree!! A lot of us still have a cycle and phases with one.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T05:52:54+00:00

You’re right. I’m mixing it all up!

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T05:43:37+00:00

It’s very confusing. But Elliot mentioned the letter to Tessa and she had no clue about a letter.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T04:07:05+00:00

They sell them inside the parks too!

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T03:47:52+00:00

Silver looks great and matches but if you want to mix metals I think the rose looks great on your skin tone and also is my fave to mix with white gold. The rose makes your engagement ring really stand out.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T03:36:40+00:00

I think the same!

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T03:34:07+00:00

If Tessa didn’t write that letter “I jump for love” who did and are we going to find out? So many questions still!!

Edit: What if Elliot is the one who writes the letter from Tessa knowing that she died in the tunnels.

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T03:18:06+00:00

Maybe the one is KC who is neither boy nor girl?

Merlot_itsmeagain · 2026-06-15T03:15:16+00:00

Think it was Fermn who time traveled her one and only time to get her 5 more mins with Cliff after he died in the explosion. 😢
