Would you rather have a single soul of a human or a god? Cats are gods.
tozemarreco
some allergies go away if your exposed to the element for long enough. I had a cat for 18 years and found out last year im allergic
Iwouldbenick
This happened with my landlord...so I got another dog instead!
DonPense
Probably shoulda checked with roomies before starting the search, ya know, to start setting up history for a sleep walking *accident*

When the roommates tell you they're allergic

mycatToastwasafatasshole
Bringing an animal into a home is something you discuss with EVERYONE because EVERYONE will be living with it. Not just you.
CotterPyke
I'm allergic. It's the dander the cat makes when he grooms. The only way around this, or simplest way, is if the cat will accept a bath.
NicNac225
You sound like a bad roommate
Grabes
like that sucks but wouldnt that be the first thing you should ask?
SergeantMoomoos
My heart goes out to you :(
KujoYohoshi
Is this k in wintersprings?
tentaclefriendly
Singular. I have severe cat allergies now I live in a house with seven cats and I'm not dying
JackMama
Well that blows! Sorry.
Kierbear2g
Why would you not check that beforehand?
LinkaAdoptsACouger
As someone who is severely allergic to cats, it's not like we do it on purpose. I would love to have a cat. I would also love to not die.
Eszie
I was too, but I decided I'd be down to live on antihistamines so my husband could have one. My allergy disappeared within three days.
Greeneyeddevil
Yeah, it's hard replacing a roommate but cats gonna cat
thedarnthingsgotwings
As a sufferer, I'm sure they feel pretty bad :(
SoThenThisAssholeSaid
Yo this isn't sad, you're just dumb.
JamesBeapukin
I normally don't advocate assassination, but...
I8urtacos
I have shitty roomates. One of them said no to pets because he "might be allergic". He's also the laziest and honestly, two faced.
I8urtacos
But at least I asked before I even bothered. Now my cat has gone missing. wouldn't have happened if I had just brought my damn cat with me.
I8urtacos
If I can afford it, I'm never living with roommates again. Burned twice. I'm just done.
drinkup4
I would think getting a pet would be something you would discuss with your roommates before you are this far along.
futureman3000
Not when the whole world revolves around you.
EveCaffeine
May I suggest Benadryl for your roommate
GoogleFucker
Benadryl is good to take at first contact, and it can help tone down the allergy, but it does fuck-all if you go into shock. Need Epi-pens
EveCaffeine
TIL cat allergies are more than the sniffles
GoogleFucker
Oh yeah
Twigzz
Benadryl for most = getting zombified out for an entire day and miserable, but hey your allergies are toned down now!
NonConformistFlamingo
Depending on the severity, Benadryl might not be enough. A coworker of mine is so allergic that she needs an Epi pen.
EveCaffeine
Aww :(
bucketfullofotters
One of my biggest regrets in life is that I can't get my wife a cat because I am so allergic to them. Now getting shots to see if it helps.
SerialKitten666
The allergy shots are usually really great at toning down/eradicating pet dander allergies! Good luck!
bucketfullofotters
Thanks! Just started in march. Right now all they do is make me a bit itchy. But in a few years I hope to see results.
SerialKitten666
My stepdad got them for 2-3 years and didn't even finish them and his pet allergies GREATLY reduced, lives with 4 furry animals and is good!
SerialKitten666
I also know many people who are allergic to pets but actually adjust to their own pets dander in ~months, usually there's hope regardless!
SGPhoto
Find new roommate
perpderp
She legitimately just finished moving all of her stuff in today... she has a dog so I didn't think she was allergic to animals!
SGPhoto
On a serious note, that sucks.
SGPhoto
"sorry, this isn't working out"
KittyLeader
"The dog is cool though, he can stay."
snotrocketscience
It's always sad to see a roommate go.

Not when it's a dog person that lies about having allergies.

PrincessMoonicorn
I have animal allergies but i love them so i take allergy pills everyday so i can look after my dog and bunny with no need for hospital!
ThirstyRabbit
I'm jealous that works for you. The side effects of stronger medicines outweighs the discomforts of my allergies so much there's just no use
PrincessMoonicorn
Thanks. It took a long time to find something that worked without making me wanna fall asleep at work. I still allergic to my bf though!
ThirstyRabbit
That's why I got rid of mine. Unlike my doggo, he ain't worth shit.
PrincessMoonicorn
Lol i managed to get stronger resistance!
LinkaAdoptsACouger
Regular allergy meds do not work for me, and the ones that do are not covered by my insurance and cost over $100/month. ????
PrincessMoonicorn
Oh wow that's crazy! I do have to get mine by prescription for the stronger ones but it costs like £8 for a 2 month supply! Mind blown!
LinkaAdoptsACouger
Welcome to the American healthcare system.
Imgoingtohellandsoareyou
Kill the roommate
GoogleFucker
So, just go get the cat, then
GraniteIvy
Just get the cat... the issue may solve itself...
perpderp
I'm considering it...
LokiShade
Two birds, one stone...get the cat...
Imgoingtohellandsoareyou
Well get 2 cats...the 1 will contract the other.
kylelovespizza
Cat contracts. Business cats and such.
kingofthediamond
She's severely allergic right? Get the cat and let natural selection do its thing
BenSnow97
Don't worry much, just arm your cat
CChowder
Maybe you should talk with your roommates before you go through the process.
xFryla
Depends who has the rental agreement with the home owner imo.
blameitonmyyouth
And ruin a perfectly good story....
doctorbees
That's what I was thinking. Should've cleared it with them first.
providedlava
Thats what im sayin. Save yourself some heart ache.
EverythingIsAGovernmentConspiracy
My roommate didn't do this... Lined up a cat before telling us. Now we have a kitten with a roommate who is also alergic.
YouJustActivatedMyTrapCard
I love animals and all, but I would never put up with that. Imagine living where you're always itchy, sneezy and covered in hives.
Rogahar
Maybe they're prone to impulse decisions as a household and this would've just been more of the same for them? Not saying it was smart to >
Rogahar
> not check first but in their standard life it may not have occured to them do so.
boogertown
Wait I think that's the point. She takes to her roommates and now it's not happening. Am I missing something?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
She should have checked with them before actually lining up a cat.
NoYouNeedYOURStomachPumped
If OP is anything like my ex roommate, the "process" took an hour and the building has a no pets policy.
tivvybrixx
Yes all the contract was literally 2 emails while still in bed Friday morning
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
Moved into a house with a girl that had kept a kitten in her dorm the previous year, though she saved it from certain death, it was feral.
stopitlucas
Yep. Even if it allergies weren't a issue it seems like common curiosity to ask before bringing a pet into a shared home
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
I'm always curious when pets are invovled.
stopitlucas
Dang. Ya got me
perpderp
She has a dog so I assumed she'd be fine with a cat
Thundamuffin
Even if you assumed there were no allergy issues maybe making sure they all are okay with having a cat in general would have been good.
perpderp
When we talked about my roommate bringing her dog in to live with us, we had a conversation about how we love animals and we're all excited
afoxandanass
I had dogs for a bit but cats broke me out into painful hives that covered me from the neck down.
perpderp
That's apparently what happens to her!
IWouldLikeToGetOffThisRideNowPlease
Dog allergies and cat allergies are different beasts
futureman3000
This is why there's that saying about making assumptions.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Even more reason to consult them first. My husky would murder a cat.
LearnSomething
Yea, why would you just assume the dog would be cool with another animal in the house? OP isn't ready for a pet.
perpderp
I knew she had a dog. And I knew her dog was chill with other animals.
LearnSomething
But did you know that he dog would be okay with another animal living in the house? There's a big difference there.
Mythleaf
I just separated after 9 years with a woman who hates animals. Adopting a cat Monday so excited :D
JerryShaferChrane
Still not dating huh.
Whitetiger7654
There's a difference between hate and allergic.
MissAizea
Make sure you splurge on a scratching post/tree, not a little crappy post. It's very.important for cats to have scratchy and high places
AndersCalrissian
What kind or person hates animals?
Mythleaf
I wish I could tell you. To her they were a chore.
AndersCalrissian
Narcissist perhaps. Enjoy your new pet!
ohdeepthought
I have a coworker like that he's nice he just doesn't see the benefit of owning a pet. He's a little strange
perpderp
Congrats! Hopefully I won't have to wait 9 years!
LukeKarr22
Maybe, like, 9 cat years?
Mythleaf
Hopefully not. She's moving out next month but I waited long enough xD
beckaw92386
How did you survive 9 years with someone who hates animals??
WhoStoleMySweetroll
She probably gives bomb head. People do crazy stuff for bomb head.
NoOfficerImJustNotSober
Thats what I'm thinking, that be a deal breaker for me
Mythleaf
Woefully
Bugofbelgium
I severely mistrust people who aren't kind and gentle to animals.
WorkerBey
you can be kind and gentle to animals and not like them.... i hate dogs but id never mistreat one
mustachioedbunny
Omg I thought I was the only one who doesn't like dogs (would also never mistreat). everyone I know is so dog obsessed.
