Ha don't think so! I'll rather suggest she doesn't go anywhere near my pets, they were wif me before she came in and at worse I'll shear my time btw both. If she can't cope well am sorry! I think she ll have to ......

Would you give up a pet if your significant other is allergic to it? If you're allergic to animals, would you ask your significant other to give up their pet? I don't have a significant other; but when I do get one, He will be someone who excepts my Pet and He has no allergies to a Cat. That is a requirement to meeting the right man. So I guess the answer to both your question is No. |

Would you give up a pet if your significant other is allergic to it? If you're allergic to animals, would you ask your significant other to give up their pet? Probably. I am such an animal lover it would be hard to, not gonna lie here. If the guy I was with is not comfortable with my dog for whatever the reason then we need to talk about it together. I've known a few guys who were deathly afraid of dogs because of a bad experience. I am sure we could take care of it together. I would again discuss it with my guy. Keep the lines of communication open. I think the challenge is finding that in a guy, then worrying about the pet issue. |

sometimes you can become allergic to pets but watching the owners interact with them...some kiss the pets and allow them to lick their face and then want to cuddle and kiss on you
hey...er..can you wait a sec while I remove that deer tick off your nose or they bring you food after rubbing their pets or the pet jumps on the table of food hummm...steak and potatoes with a side order of hair....tasty it gives the term "the hair of the dog" a whole new meaning |

My pets were here first. You know me. They have outlasted many boyfriends. Now that I have a steady boyfriend who he treats my cat decently and hopefully he will be around awhile.

Hey, whatever works, I guess. If he wasn't upfront about his issue with pets to begin with, I would be wondering why. And I just don't see getting too far into a relationship before finding out he's allergic, doesn't like cats or something else. Certainly not enough to give up a pet I'm responsible for. I couldn't say I adored my pets in one breath, then turn around and give them away. |

Yes, but as you have pointed out on more than one occasion, you and I seldom see eye to eye on anything....Emmie is beyond special to me, but ManO comes first... |

You are correct. We rarely ever see eye to eye. If I was giving up a pet, that would mean I didn't adore her and it wasn't very special to me.

I can get a minor allergic reaction to cats. More so if its sleeping in the same room with me, or if there is a lot hair present. I would never, ever, even think of asking someone to get rid of any pet period. I have asked for the cat be out of the room when Im staying over, that it would be appreciated. If not, "you" would have to come to my place, or yes, we aren't a match, and I wouldn't bother going any further. This has come up several times, while dating and choices were made to compromise. I have yet, to run across a lady unwilling to do so. I am not unreasonable and I do like pets. Cats, Dogs and other as well. I really don't understand an animal needing to be in the room, during intimacy... Would that mean, you take that animal with you 24/7? That it cannot be alone at various times? Really, what is the difference if the animal is out of the room for awhile at times. If it really becomes a huge problem, I suppose "they" will have their animal to comfort them...Im not going to lose any sleep over it... Do you mention up front that you're allergic to cats and you want them to sleep in the other room? This hasn't come up before for me when dating someone, but I would be unable to make my cat sleep in another room, as there's no door to close. I see that you don't understand the animal needing to be in the room during intimacy. Like I said, in my case, there isn't a door to close. Has it ever been a problem? No. Perhaps some people who don't own pets assume it will be a problem, though? Not sure. it is possible to get a very nice and roomy kennel cage for a cat it's a particularly possible solution (and one recommended by a vet I used to work for). So that for brief periods the kitty can snooze. They are large enough for a nice blanket and water dish and even a small litter box. I used to use one now & then when cleaning and decorating the Christmas tree so the cats would not climb it when we brought it in. I used to have a dog and 3 cats..... |

Putting a cat in a cage that isn't normally used to a cage probably isn't going to work out well at home. Perhaps if you start that when they're young, it might work ok, though. |

If it's a SO, we would have been hanging out or together fo a while.
I don't do cats. If I was with a woman who knew that and got one anyways, I'd tend to think she was trying to tell me it's over. |
