I hate being allergic to cats. I hate wheezing up when I visit people who have them. It is alarming and uncomfortable to have my lungs constrict and my energy ebb. Most of the time I don’t think of my allergy at all. It is a non-issue. But this trip we are staying with the Strohls who have 3 cats. We’ll be visiting with Pi and Kreely who have cats.
I wish I could love and snuggle the cats. I wish I could tussle with dogs. I hate seeming to be fussy or reluctant about animals. But the truth is that I am. I don’t touch the animals because I know the consequences.
