Love to Have a House Cat

My cat came out to greet me when I came home and I just adore her. She is so sweet and loves to meow to me. We have a really nice fleece bed for her in the garage where she can sleep. The garage is closed up except for a cat door so she and the dog can go in and out at will. It's a nice haven for her but I wish that I could have her in the house with me.

Since I was young, I have had allergies to cats, dogs and any animal that has dander. It's been a curse as I love animals and I wanted to have as many pets as possible. My mom did get a kitten for a short time but it sent my brother to the hospital with an asthma attack so she had to get rid of it. I ended up getting a turtle and fish instead. Don't get me wrong, I loved my turtle and he lasted many many years. I also got some iguanas when I was in college. When my iguanas started to grow, I had to give them away as they can grow up to 6 feet long.

One solution to solving pet dander may be to try the EcoQuest International fresh air purifier. I'm not sure how well they work but I have read that purifers can help reduce the allergens in the house. For now, I wear a long sleeve coat when I pet my cat and then I really wash my hands good or I will break out in hives.
