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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my roommates adopted two kittens without consulting me. We're not allowed to have pets in our apartment and I'm severely allergic to cats. Oh well, it's not like I needed to be able to breathe this summer. 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 mom got a cat. I'm allergic to cats, so I politely asked my mom why she got it. Her response: "I want you to finally want to move out." I turned eighteen two weeks ago. 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
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, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. 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, 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
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

There are medications you can take. And your body can get used to specific cats! My sister's boyfriend is allergic too, but he's fine with their cat sleeping on their bed. He can't set foot in my house, though.

I had a 10 year gap where I didn’t have ANY pets at all after having loads of them. After I first adopted my old cat I used to have a bit of a reaction to him but it eventually went away. Maybe the same thing will happen. If not, there are plenty of medical interventions that can be done. Good luck, OP

How did you not know you were allergic to cats?

My best guess would be a rock was kicked up by another vehicle, and that it smashed your sunroof on landing. (Happened to my dad once!)

Maybe the comment was so ultra-meta that the rest of us blockheads don’t get it?

They're pricey, but you may want to look into purebred Siberians. They are hypoallergenic in that they don't produce dander, and they're not hairless. Quite fluffy actually! My brother is allergic and he does fine with our Siberian.

Cat allergies tend to involve cat saliva as well, though. Cats can't be hypoallergenic in the way some dog breeds can.

Did you have no contact at all with cats before hand? How didn't you know? Most people with cat allergies know the second they step into a room that's had a cat in it. Weren't you affected when you went to pick up the kittens?

Go see an allergist, allergy shots are a great long term solution.

Should have gotten one of those hairless cats
