I have 4 cats. I love them very much.

They also produce more fur than there are grains of sand in this God forsaken earth. There’s fur in my clothes, food, mouse, ceiling fan, body crevices.

Help. Me.

    No offence but that’s neglect on your part as they can be carriers of bacteria & viruses. For starters reduce their contact with young ones, there have been studies that prove the build-up of allergies from them.

    Owning them is a responsibility toward yourself & others:

    • wash your hands after handling them & avoid contact with animal’s faeces.
    • Vaccination up to date.
    • Disinfect the pet area regularly.

      You and I must read different scientific manuscripts. The ones I read all show that owning dogs and cats with newborns lessons the likely hood of getting pet allergies, and also reduce allergies to dust, pollen, etc.; oddly enough, hamsters increase allergies
