I’m (25F) on dating apps again, and I’ve been hesitant to match with anyone who owns a cat. I have a cat allergy. Nothing serious, but my eyes just get swollen and I get sniffly.
I’ve never dated someone with a cat before. I briefly dated this one man who had a cat, and he kept his apartment clean. I only stayed over twice and had no issues.
But I’ve also had a roommate in college who owned 2 cats and did not keep her room clean, and I always got really sick when I was in her room.
In conclusion, I don’t know if my allergy would end up being an issue or not.
I’d never expect someone to rehome their cat if I started dating them, and I’d be open to taking allergy meds and maybe getting allergy shots if I started dating someone with a cat.
What do yall think? Is it even worth the risk? Or should I completely avoid going on dates with cat owners?
