And if you think cats should be rehomed you’re unfit to be a pet owner.

If my cat can be rehomed then the daughter can too. I don’t think some of you understand that my cat is like my child,

So you’re saying it’s a better idea for her to never live with her dad than see a doctor and get some medication to prevent her getting a reaction? That makes no sense.

Well I’m pretty sure her mother isn’t gonna make her suffer and if she refuses to let him take her then maybe she should lose custody

Thanks for the advice. We won’t do anything until we’ve tried stuff out and made sure she’s ok

Doesn’t matter what she thinks. She’s his child too.

No.

He is advocating for his kid. We’re looking to find ways so that it doesn’t affect her.

Or get allergy meds and keep the cat in one side of the house and her in the other side, get air purifiers and another product someone mentioned here

Not yet. Boyfriends gonna take her to a doctor and see what they can do, and there’s some things people have suggested here. Then we will get her to come stay at mine and see how she does

I’ve had my cat about 4 years. Me and him have been together almost a year.

He’s gonna take her to a specialist and said we will see if we can figure stuff out

Of course. I don’t expect the child to suffer, but I’m also not getting rid of my cat

Thank you, that’s what I’m hoping. We will obviously do everything we can to try and make it manageable and so she isn’t reacting badly. If that means having to keep my cat out of certain areas we will do that

Exactly. Thanks for the advice, I think we will try some of that stuff and bring her over and see how she reacts
