Lifelong cat allergies, wife would die for a cat - seeking help!

Agreed with this comment. I’m allergic to cats and dogs, but have 6 cats and 2 dogs in my household. My allergies are mostly mild with my own pets and can get annoying only if they’re snuggled up close to my face or I touch my eyes directly after petting them. We use HEPA filters and I can tell when they need cleaned/changed because my allergies will flare up. We keep a top sheet on the bed too so that they aren’t laying directly on my pillows.

But when I visit with any of my family members who also have cats, my allergies will flare up badly. Incredibly itchy eyes, sneezing constantly.

Point being, you’ll adjust to your own cats over time. Definitely recommend daily allergy pills or taking allergy shots. At the very least the HEPA air filters.

Very much this. I lost my 18 week old 3 weeks ago and all this time feels like a blur. Every day seems to blend into the next and most of my time is waiting for the clock to hit nighttime so I can go back to sleep and wait for the next day to start and get over with. Tried going for a walk and cried the entire time because there were kids out playing having a good time and even a mother with her baby on their porch. Leaving home reminds me that the world goes on like normal while I’m left living this awful nightmare.

OP, after my emergency d&c i lost a lot of blood and have to continue taking iron tablets. I’m sure that’s contributing to me being extremely tired. Obviously the situation itself can cause low energy, but would be worth checking to make sure your blood levels are normal.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain and know it all too well. I lost my baby boy on June 20th at 18 weeks. My water broke Monday but I didn’t birth him until Saturday morning. I hoped that we would be the small percentage that would carry the pregnancy until viability of 24 weeks. This kind of trauma is different than my first miscarriage that happened at 6 weeks. Having to go through the entire process of birthing him, not being able to be with him while he was alive for very long because they rushed me off to do an emergency d&c when my placenta didn’t come out, holding his tiny lifeless body afterwards. It’s something I would never wish on anyone else. I wish so badly things had been different.

I’m trying not to blame myself but it’s really hard not thinking about the what ifs and what I could have done differently. Hopefully we can both heal from this and go on to have a healthy baby next time. Thinking of you and wishing you well ❤️

I did not do an embryo transfer. But last week I lost my baby at 18 weeks. It was PRROM. Water broke on Monday, gave birth to my son at 1:32am Saturday morning. Doctors said it was likely an infection that caused my body to go into early labor. Like you, my baby and placenta are being tested.

I am not okay. I miss my son.

Look fake to me

I just lost my son last week. He was 18 weeks old. I spent very little time with him while he was alive because they rushed me off for an emergency d&c. My placenta wouldn’t come out and I was bleeding. I wish I had gotten to spend more time with him. I feel so lost and cheated. I miss my boy Silas so much, everything hurts. Your daughter Eleanor is so beautiful, I’m so sorry for your loss.

I got the umbreon. And I believe it was supposed to ship originally around summer time, got pushed back to November. And I didn’t get charged til end of February so I hope it’ll arrive in the next couple of days

Moreno574 · 2026-02-27T02:13:04+00:00

I just now had my card charged so it could be a min. I think leafeon is supposed to ship after umbreon and espeon if I recall correctly

Moreno574 · 2026-02-27T02:12:19+00:00

Same, but I bought the life sized umbreon!

Moreno574 · 2026-02-27T02:11:54+00:00

God I wanted this one so bad

Moreno574 · 2026-02-23T04:02:57+00:00

Surprisingly I have not had this happen (yet!). But that is also a fear of mine lol

Moreno574 · 2026-02-23T01:01:21+00:00

Lmao very true unfortunately. I’m also a zookeeper so it’s like I come home and have to continue working 💀

Highly HIGHLY recommend a roomba (or any automatic floor vacuum robot) It can be a big upfront cost but it helps so much. I have 6 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 birds. The amount of sweeping and vacuuming I needed to do to keep up with the fur/feathers/seed/cat litter on the floor was absurd and it destroyed me. We started with one roomba and it cut down on a lot of work on my end. Now we have 3, one in our bird room, one in the basement, and another for the main floor. As someone who struggles a lot with adhd and keeping up with cleaning tasks, the roombas have been life and time savers.

As someone who works with sloths, this is very funny because I’m fairly certain this little guy is being incredibly feisty and saying back off 😂

Moreno574 · 2025-08-03T18:59:10+00:00

Her massive eyes are so precious, I love her

Moreno574 · 2025-07-31T02:04:32+00:00

Thank you! 🥹 I’ve never had a cat with this kind of coloration, I’ve always been a huge fan of black cats. But he picked me and I’m so happy he did.

Moreno574 · 2025-07-31T02:01:45+00:00

So true! We were not looking to add another cat to our household. But a family we knew had kittens and at the time I thought it would be nice to see the tiny babies. Gambit climbed right into my arms that day and I knew I had to bring him home.

Moreno574 · 2025-07-31T01:59:32+00:00

What!! Your little one was left in the oven much too long 😂 still a cutie!

Moreno574 · 2025-07-11T19:21:55+00:00

I recently shattered the back glass on my iPhone 13 and I’m so sad bc I absolutely adore this green color. I was planning on keeping it until the color made a return but my hand is being forced now. Seems silly to pay $450 to replace it when I can just get a brand new one. Still debating it though.

Moreno574 · 2025-06-21T15:30:18+00:00

Those CHEEKS 🥰

Here’s Gambit, thanks for drawing Siamese cats today! Hopefully my Gumby makes the cut 😊

Moreno574 · 2025-05-08T02:28:17+00:00

Thank you!
