Funny. I have a neutered male cat named Spock. Fits the motif, but there are also 2 other cats and and inbred dog in the house. I frequently offer my guests money to take them. Sorry Dave. ---

It looks like I have someone, at least for now. Thanks, everybody. ---

Oh, dear. I’m so sorry that I just saw this thread, **Dave**. If only I could take them permanently, I’d love to. But, I already have 2 cats, a dog, and a koi, and **Mr Bear** said no more pets. I’m so glad you have found someone to take them for now, and I truly hope you find a permanent solution very soon. I’m sorry that you’re having to give up your dear cats, but I do understand why. And **Ginger** is certainly worth such a sacrifice. Take care, you two. {{{{{{Dave}}}}}} {{{{{{Ginger}}}}}} ---

Yay! We have found a home, together, for the boys. Dave will be sad to lose them, but I will be very happy to properly breathe, un-drugged, again. Tomorrow we drive up to PA to meet half-way the woman who will take them for the interim, and then **Venoma** has offered to make her new home in the US theirs, as well. Thank you so very, very much! ---

It might sound crazy, but bathing the cats regularly can seriously cut down on allergic reactions. They will, of course, hate it and claw you to shreds, but it won’t hurt them any. I’ve had friends come over and notice significantly reduced reactions after bathing our cats. We don’t really do it regularly anymore, but it really does help. ---

If they looked the same, you could make matching slippers. 😃 (Driftwood told be to do that with mine and I’m allergic to them too.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-help-help-i-need-cat-help-urgent/107327.md?page=1)
