Re: OT: Sad day
Yeah, Minipol, same thing happened to me.
32 years old after practically a whole life with cats, I started having asthma attacks. Doctors finally discovered it was cats, dogs, and a few other things.
For 4 years, I took shots to "get used" to them. Cat scratches still turn red as heck and itch like crazy. And sometimes I forget after petting ours and rub my eyes (that's bad), but they don't affect my breathing any more and I got to keep them.
The Siamese ("Rat") cat I had for so long traveled with me in the army as I moved around. He racked up 25,000 miles in the air. What a trooper!
