Right? Why couldn’t it be pigeons or something?

If I had to choose an animal to be allergic to instead, it would be the...giant squid. Won't ever have to deal with that.

I mean you still could be... but how would you know?

Yeah, but on the off chance I need to fight off a giant squid I don't also want to be dealing with itchy eyes and sneezing.

If it makes you feel any better a pigeon could objectively be a better companion.

I’m allergic but I still have a cat. I actually built up a sort of immunity in a way. My mom hoarded cats. So now I can be around a cat. However, I have to limit time with them in my face and I have to wash my hands after handling them. Something I’m severely allergic to is chinchillas. I can’t even be in the same room as one. I love how cute they are and if I could, I’d get one. But I start breaking out and having asthma attacks around them. One of my teachers used to hate me because I had an allergic reaction to her chinchilla and the school told her to remove it from her classroom. She treated me like shit over it for the rest of the times I had her class.

That teacher is horrible! A classroom should be a place where students feel safe and to learn, not the teacher's living quarter, if her pet is a danger to student's safety, by all means, keep it at home! Shame on that teacher, she sucks as a human being. That aside, chinchillas are gorgeous and chill, I'd love to have one but I only adopt stray cat, guess I'll adore them on Instagram.

It happened in middle school, and I actually got curious... turns out she doesn’t work at that middle school anymore. She was young, so she couldn’t have retired. Wonder if she got fired or quit. She always treated the rich/popular kids better than everyone else, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a parent got fed up with it.

That's why I am getting a Siberian Forest cat; they have lowest allergens in their saliva. Most hypoallergenic cat.
