Try brushing your cat frequently and wipe it down with bounce dryer sheets it will keep the cat from shedding so much and get him some allergy meds . You should have it solved. the dryer sheets will pick up a lot of the loose hair and will make the cat smell good in the process.
He could get allergy shots. I also bathe my cats monthly to reduce their allergens.


There is also a product called Aller Pet.
Change your bedding once a week and don't let kitty in the bedroom. Vaccume carpet daily and have hubby to be see about allergy shots. The shots help you to build an imunity to the allergen. Keep kitty groomed.
Wipe your cats down daily with a wet wash cloth. Brush them twice a day especially if they have long hair. Use a lint brush or roller on all furniture and vaccume daily. Also use an air purifier. These will all make life much easier for your husband who sounds absolutely wonderful to suffer for your happiness :)
no cats in the bedroom, he gets 8 hours of safe air, use the ionic air machines in 2-3 rooms inc. the bed room. brush cats outside every day,litter boxes in garage or basement or far away from living space . or outside toileting.the air machines will help alot. nothing matters if you cant breath. really if you are worried about choosing between the animals and the marriage you are not ready for this step.
If you love him shot the cat.What can of woman are you if you choose your cat over your husband?
try getting him some allergy medicine or something that or maybe try and keep the cat away from him
Allergy shots/medicine... they work wonders =)
You don't have to choose. There'll be a way, and yes, do look into medication for your husband. If he loves you the way you are, then he HAS to love the cats that are apart of you. ^_^





People do manage! You'll be all right.
Have your husband boost his immune system first by including anti-oxidants in his diet. Green tea is an excellent anti-oxidant drink and can be enjoyed with lemon and sweetener. A good herbal antioxidant ';cocktail'; he could make each morning to further boost his immunities would include 1/4 teaspoon of the following in a cup of boiling water: oregano, powdered cloves, turmeric and cinnamon. Allow this mixture to steep 5-7 minutes. Drink liquid and herbs completely. It may not taste great but it will help boost the leukotrines that are allergy response units in the body. In addition to these antioxidant drinks, he should eat 10 servings of organic fruits and vegetables a day and take a good multivitamin. 2000 mg. a day of vitamin C would also assist any allergy symptoms. If your husband needs further allergy relief, he could also in addition to these antioxidants take an allergy shot. Good luck! You are in our prayers.
my friends hubby was very allergic, but after he lived with them he got used to it. now hes fine he just takes his medicine. i would definatly make him try it before i got rid of your babies.
allergy shots. they've worked for me
Put your cat in a plastic bubble, or your husband. It's up to you.
No. You are gong to have to choose. And apparently you need to choose the cat. You obviously do not love this man enough.
allergy medication take it from someone who knows it works wonders
Your husband needs to get allergy testing. He may be allergic to other things (such as dust, yeast, etc.) which will only amplify the symptoms of cat allergies. Also, people who suffer from cat allergies can sometimes get a shot or take medicine to reduce some of the symptoms of allergies.





Here is a good list of things you can do to relieve some of the issues with cat allergies for your husband: http://cats.about.com/cs/allergiesandcat鈥?/a>





As a side note, I've had two roommates with cat allergies, and over time, their symptoms decrease. I imagine your husband can eventually build a tolerance to the allergen.


Good luck.
Don't shoot your cat, and don't choose between the two...just yet. You might have to. But at least try to co-exist. Most people with allergies to cats are not allergic to the cat, but their dander. Keep your cat very clean (is it indoor only?), don't touch your husband, or any of his things, clothes, items, etc, after you touched the cat, wash your hands first. Try to keep the cat out of your bedroom and off the couches/chairs, and other furniture your husband's body will come in contact with. In other words, limit the exposure of your cat to your husband (or as I like to see it, your husband to your cat ;) )


You might end up having to choose. You shouldn't torture your husband because of your feline friend, and at the same time I'm sure you're attached to your cat.


Best of luck to you,

When my husband and I first got together (8 years ago), I had 7 cats and he was allergic to them. Eventually he got over the symptoms and even though he has asthma, I now have all my cats and he is getting allergy shots (for other allergies besides the cats). He gets along great with them and he would never think of getting rid of them -- they are his family also. Good luck with your impending marriage and hope everything works out well for all of you.
