Today, I learned I'm allergic to the 5-month-old kitten we got 3 days ago. It loves me, follows me everywhere and sleeps on my lap in the evenings. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. FML
Today, I learned that I'm the only person in my family that our new cat likes. She sleeps on my bed and always sits in my lap and despises everyone else. I'm allergic to cats. FML
Today, like every other day for the past two weeks, the strange cat that has adopted me inexplicably made its way into my house and curled up next to my head while I slept. I'm horribly allergic. FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
Today, since getting the new kitten that only I wanted, it has scratched me and peed on my socks, my side of the bed and my laptop. It loves my husband though, who was against getting a cat at all. FML
Today, I went to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. While I was there, I started to get really itchy. Turns out they have 5 cats. Guess what I'm allergic to? FML
Today, my boyfriend bought us three kittens. Today, I also discovered that I am allergic to cats. My boyfriend broke up with me because he wanted the cats more than me. FML
Today, to celebrate moving into a new apartment, my girlfriend decided she would get a kitten. She didn't know I'm allergic to cats. When I told her, she decided that she couldn't date someone who couldn't be around her cat; the one she doesn't have yet. FML
Today, after 25 years living with my dad, who is highly allergic to cats, I was finally able to adopt two kittens to live in my new place, just like I have always wanted. Guess who else is highly allergic to cats? Me, it seems. FML
Today, my wife got drunk and adopted a kitten. She thought I’d be mad because of the money. Nope, I’m pretty sure I’m mad because I have the most severe type of cat allergy that could kill me. I can’t go in the house now until everything is sterilised, so I’m back at my dad's house. FML

Benedryl ! You may be able to do something. Talk to an allergist before doing anything drastic.

Smart kitty... How to know if your cat is plotting to kill you would be a good book for this

Benadryl may not be the best option, it could make you drowsy. Maybe during the day, try Zyrtec or Allegra, then Benadryl at night. I have an allergy to cats, dust, grass, pollen, and several other things. I stack my allergy meds, 4 different kinds, and it works great. Only during peak allergy season in spring and fall do I have major issues. I say try experimenting with different OTC allergy meds, and if you can't find one that works, talk to your doc. Good luck OP, and keep the kitty. :)

The cat isn't being affectionate. It's trying to kill you and make it look like an accident. This kind of genius is why humans will one day serve our kitty overlords.

And that's why I'm nice to cats now. Maybe when they take over the world they'll spare me. :)

Typically your allergy will go away with more contact, so hopefully you start feeling better soon. In the mean time take some allergy medicine.

I'd suggest an air purifier for your room. It might help

I think they have shots or something for that now.

I'm allergic to both dogs and cats, but I've had dogs since I was very little (a toddler, but we had to give our first dog to my grandparents when she snapped at me, so my first real dog was when I was 4). I'm 28 now and I have no symptoms to my dog because I've developed an immunity, which happens if you expose yourself to the allergens. It's actually how allergy shots work, they add the allergen in extreme dilution so you develop an immunity. That being said, they never (or rarely ever) do allergy shots for animals because it can be dangerous. But if you put yourself on a regimen of some kind of over-the-counter allergy medication (if you choose a sleepy kind like zyrtec or benedryl, make sure to take it before bed), it'll combat the symptoms and you'll develop an immunity over time without having to give up your little floofball.
