Today, I went to the doctor for allergy testing. Apparently, one of my worst allergies is cats. I'm a "crazy cat lady" who loves anything cat-related and has 3 cats. Allergy shots, here I come. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the doctor's getting a check up. He asked me if I was allergic to anything, to which I blurted out, "Cats." He gave me a weird look and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you cats." FML
Today, I went to the allergist. I found out that I am allergic to dogs, cats, wool, fleece, and pet dander. I'm currently planning to go to school to become a veterinarian. 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, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
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, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The fact you will become a human pincushion for your cats just amps up the “crazy” label.

Just build up a tolerance. I'm allergic to cats and dogs but my own animals don't phase me because i'm around them all the time and my symptoms start to fade away.

Get only short-haired cats like a Russian Blue. I never get allergies like with other cats.

My grandma is allergic to cats but when she lived with me for long enough the symptoms started to go away and she can be around my cats

Feel your pain. Except they want to do more testing before doing the shots. Meds I have to be on interfere with the tests. And the allergist isn’t quite getting the one I can not come completely off of. The allergy wipes for the cats work decent enough.

My fiancé is allergic to animals but the short haired ones he can actually sleep with, and he has built a general tolerance to them. Long haired cats however he can't stand. I'm allergic to lamb wool and goat hair, but I can briefly touch either. And itch for the rest of the night.

A good friend of mine had to do allergy tests, she’s allergic to lot of things. One of them is dogs, she will not give her dog up. So you’re not the only one who is allergic to your own pets. She does well with allergies shot. Hope your shots helps so you don’t have to give up your babies.

I just joked with my cat, “Victory, I hate shots more than I love you!” What I think she would have responded with, “Huh?” Me: “Just kidding!” I love my cat.

I'm allergic to cats. I'd rather have to take meds everyday and not give them up.
