        I’m also allergic, so I buy stupidly expensive cat food that reduces the enzyme in cats saliva that most people react to. I’m good to cuddle and pet my cat, as long as I can avoid scratches, I’m good.

          Yeah that is a possible solution, I just to find a better paying job to afford a cat and such type of food. But it’s not just about having a cat, life sucks and last time anyone I know was happy was in the idle days of youth around the age of the girl on the photo, that’s something money can’t buy

            I feel you on that. Full disclosure - I’ve hit the point in my life where my kids are grown and self sustaining and I’m finally working a job that actually meets my needs. I wish you the absolute best in finding the right job for you and that hopefully life can suck at least a little less.

        “14 Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds for People With Allergies”

        https://www.thesprucepets.com/hypoallergenic-cat-breeds-553872

        Cat allergies are caused by a protein called Fel d 1.1 When cats groom themselves, Fel d 1 gets on their fur and dander, exposing you to it. While no cat is truly free of allergens, breeds referred to as hypoallergenic have lower levels of the Fel d 1 protein, making them a potentially better option for people with allergies.
