Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 So my best friend went through a break up recently and coped up with his loneliness by buying a kitten. Now he is fully aware that 90% of his closest friends are allergic to cats. I personally am (like 9.5/10) and can get into shocks or die from an allergic reaction to cats (back in uni my bff had to wear fresh out of the dryer clothes to school if he wanted to sit next to me in class cuz I would have allergic reactions to the cat hair on his clothes otherwise). I dropped some stjff at his place a week ago cuz he doesn't have plates etc. (his ex left with everything) and stayed 5 mins and had a bad allergic reaction (swollen eyes, lips, tongue, etc.). I've been sick ever since (pretty sure I have sinusitis and bronchitis now, at the emergency atm) and when he asked me to do stuff all week I told him no because I was sick. He replied with: "not my fault your immune system is shit, blame your inferior genes, not my cat". Yesterday night I was staying in with my dog trying to sleep and get better and he went on a huge rant about how I no longer go out and party and don't drink anymore and that I should be partying with him on a Friday night and become fun again. I told him I was really sick, he asked why again and I told him it was because of his cat and he said he didn't care Thinking of ignoring him for a week again because I'm spending my only day off in an emergency room.

junmyeonsnoodle 1,074 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well I don't think it's insensitive of him to buy a cat just because you're allergic (unless you guys live together). But the comment about your immune system wasn't the nicest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonathehoe 4,579 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The cat thing is ok, like, he could have get a dog but ok. But the thing about blamming your immune system and saying you should be partying with him when you're sick is so... *sigh* Why are you friends with someone like this?

Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 can't you just take Antihistamines before you see him? (idk much about allergies tho lol) I do and it doesn't work (I even have them prescribed so they are stronger lol) It'd work for less severe allergies but my cat allergy is so severe I could go into shock/die/develop asthma I have an epipen for some fruit allergies AND cats lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NlNE 929 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 oh yeah that's really insensitive af like he knows your immune system is weak and that you have severe cat allergies so like wtf if you want friends to come over to your apartment, the needs of your friends need to be taken care of first and foremost, including yours. so basically, lemme adopt the cat for your own sake pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Quatro 1,441 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Well, I don't think anyone's at fault here but maybe both of you need some other friends as the cat thing seems to be a big problem. I don't think he's going to get rid of the cat and it's not like you can stop being allergic to them :/. His mood could improve later once he overcomes being dumped by his (ex) girlfriend.
