Keep Fighting, Niche Communities!
Not the case. Cat allergies are generally caused by a specific protein, not the fur itself. Said protein is present in the cat's saliva and the sebaceous glands (which is how it ends up on the fur).
Sphynxes can actually be worse than other cats for people with allergies... since without fur of their own, Sphynxes like to cuddle up to you for warmth, increasing your exposure to the allergen. |

Speaking of cats, I never understood why people said "omg all cats r so mean".
I've had like 15 cats, and not a single one has been anything less than playful and sweet. |

Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
beacause they knew mean cats. I know very nice cats, i know some cats that will claw you no matter your demeanor or approach. personal experience flavors opinion, but all personal opinion is limited and drawing any larger like or dislike based on such a small sample size is silly. .

Its funny, she doesn't shy away from visitors, she'll give off this odd chirp and dart between their feet acting all friendly, but its all a ploy to get them to TRY SOMETHING. When they do-- BAM! blood fountain.
I think she likes knowing she can instill fear in others.

also, chase, well, cinder was one of the ones i knew that can be a leetle violent, but there are others from other friends, and frank qualifies on the "so nice he could be a dog" category.
This indeed; the allergy, from what I remember being told by the allergist, isn't in the hair, but rather in the dander, which has been in contact with glandular secretions.

Less like a salmon and more like a canoe... (-er? -ist?), I don't fight the current and go with the flow. It's easier on the nerdrage, which I can save for the two stupid cats I live with.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
If I became a red name, I would be all "and what would you mere mortals like to entertain me with today, mu hu ha ha ha!" ~Arcanaville
I was able to tell it was sarcasm.
It's ok, that just means you're special! And I will love you all the same. |
*Hell, in a world where a late night comedian can have an entirely illegitimate campaign and still be taken seriously

Well before anyone else jumps on this niche...
WHY ARENT YOU HAZ A CAT??? |
No. Not saying the cat would. *I* would. Even small amounts of animal dander trigger a histamine reaction (itching like crazy). When I was still living with my parents, the fact that they had a dog meant I was spending a significant chunk of my income on antihistamines every year just so I could breath.
And going over to my cat-loving aunt's place? I spent most of the time in the bathroom flushing my eyes out.
Think "Scrubbing your eyeballs with steel wool and chlorobenzylidene (CS)" and that begins to describe the sensation.
That kitten gif is both adorably and weirdly heartbreaking.

I've seen it a lot recently, and it always kinda weirded me out. Sorta defeats the purpose of shortening it to begin with.

Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

Let's all chip in and buy Zwilinger a Tokay Gecko.
And some laceration ointment.
I'm going to oppose the OP
no one should be fighting for things on the forums. Fighting breeds ill will and resentment, both in the people being fought and the people doing the fighting. People who fight for a cause get burnt out and upset.
advocating for your position is good.
Standing up for your community is good.
Not trying to be an ***, but I never understood why people typed out acronyms, and then went on to type the full version of the phrase.

But before you consider adopting I'd get a more professional second opinion.
I do love my kitties though.
