'I had officially asked my sister not to bring her cat': Selfish pawrent refuses to compromise with sister's severe cat allergies, sparking family feud and pushing her to cut all contact

This family drama is really causing some serious cattitude! This daughter's allergy to her sister's kitty has turned family visits into a real furball of conflict. Her allergic reactions have worsened over time, making visits to their parents' house a sneezy, itchy ordeal. The twist? Cat allergens can linger like a stubborn furball for months, forcing some tough choices: either medicate daily (which is costly and complicated) or set clear boundaries.

Despite her efforts to politely ask her sister not to bring the feline during visits, the sister refuses to kennel her cat and won't consider any alternatives, purring back that it's easier if the daughter simply stays away. To add insult to injury, the parents have allowed the cat to come over anyway, leaving their daughter feeling left out in the cold like a lonely stray.

The daughter wonders if asking for a little compromise is too much or just common sense. Family love is strong, but sometimes you have to claw back your own well-being. Maybe it's time for a little paws and reflect. While every cat deserves a calm home, so does every human!
