Drown 'em and toss 'em into the garbage or bury them in the back yard. You are allergic to cats! Try to find an extra IQ point somewhere and figure out that you have to live without cats. Get a hairless cat (yuck) or get a dog or a hamster or a rabbit; find something that you are not allergic to. It ain't rocket science!

Don't worry too much.
A lot of people are allergic to kitten hair but not actual cats.
So you could try asking someone to look after them for a little while until they're a bit older.
In the meantime go get yourself some antihistamines. You can be allergic to animals and live with them, it depends how bad the allergy is.
Also don't let them anywhere near your bed/bedroom.

it is customary, my kittens used to combat truly badly and that they are no longer even from the comparable muddle. think of approximately it this way, in case you have siblings you do no longer decide for them to be around you all of the time and clearly ultimately there will be a combat or a controversy over some thing. comparable with cats. They love one yet another and while they visit sleep they cuddle yet they'll combat. placed there food in separate bowls and supply them a muddle tray each. they warfare over food interior the wild and in case your feeding them with one bowl between the kittens won't be getting the food it desires. as quickly as you get kittens or any type of youthful animals the 1st factor you do is take them to a vet, in basic terms a checkup to make certain in the event that they're healthful. would not value lots and places your recommendations at relax. wish each thing seems o.ok.and seem forward to fifteen years or greater of squabbling.

If you truly don't want to get rid of them, then you need to be prepared for feeling like that for a long while! My mum is allergic to cats, but she had one as a young adult, and actually became immune to her allergy, but now she no longer has cats she is extra allergic when she visits my house, because I have three! So if you grin and bear it, you'll get used to the feeling and eventually your body will stop having the reaction....but until that time, use Piriton.

Talk to your Dr. It will ususally work to take otc Claritin (Or generic alavert) once a day to help prevent you from reacting to the allergins. They can also prescribe you some nasal spray (Like flonase or nasocort) and some eye drops to help. Make sure you are brushing the kittens frequently and vacuming a lot.
Good luck!

I have 2 cats and also had an allergy to them. I'm not so bad now, I can pet them but must wash my hands after and I don't allow them in my bedroom where they could leave cat hair. If you really want to keep them, persevere with them but keep your hands away from your face after petting them otherwise you will end up with itch spots and eyes. Your allergy should improve as you get used to them. If it gets really bad you could try a antihistamine tablet now and again - they have really cheap ones in Morrisons that are just as good as Clarityn.

Vacuum your house and furniture often, restrict their movement in the house (ie. keep them contained to one room or area) take antihistamines or get an allergy shot from your doctor.
You can vacuum the cats (no really, I'm serious, they sell grooming attachments for vacuums that have long extensions so that the vacuum is in another room so the cats don't get scared by the noise). If you start when they are small they will get used to it and will actually like it.

I was allergic to cats at one time, after wanting one and finding this out I could not part with her.... I made an appointment with my dr and started allergy shots... they really helped... I guess eventually I became immuned to the cat's allergy after I stopped the shots... I still have my cat and am not on any allergy meds or shots...good luck
