One thing that we have come to accept as a fact is that the cat distribution system can find you anywhere, at any time, whether you are prepared for it or not. And it doesn't matter who you are, if a cat chooses you, then there is nothing that you can do to change it. You can claim to hate cats, but that won't stop one from adopting you. You can be allergic to cats, but once again, cats don't actually care. Once you are chosen, it's done. And if you just so happen to have a wife who is allergic, well… it seems that she has no choice either.

Adopted by proxy - that's what happened here. Technically, this woman was not chosen by this kitten, but her husband, after rescuing the kitten from a car engine, knew that his time has come. His wife being allergic is simply something that will have to be dealt with, and he found a great way of doing just that.

    I have 4 dogs and a wife that's allergic. What the heck am I gonna do. The worst part is I've wanted a cat since my last ones in my 20s. We're about to move into a bigger house, think I can hide it and convince my wife her allergies are from the new house?

  • This is the only right way to make this happen. If you're bringing a cat in without asking for permission first, then it is only right to bring a whole bunch of treats to everyone involved. Good husband behavior right here. We approve of this.

    Wife begrudgingly agreed to take in the kitten I found in the middle of traffic yesterday, despite her being allergic to cats. I'll be buying the meds for both the cat and the wife, along with various treats for both to thank them for being in my life.

    Justaticklerone Aww the poor kitten is just about the same color of the road, so it's great that you saw it when others didn't/couldn't. If your wife is extremely allergic to it though (meds don't work enough), you should find the little guy another forever home sooner than later, like a true rescue.

  • Oh, just one look in this little kitty's eyes, and we know that you are in a world of chaos with her. And you're going to love every second of it - you, the husband, obviously, but the wife too. She is going to melt in no time.

    Odd_Bend487 Every time cat allergies comes up, I have to say get your baby on the purina live clear kibble. I use the sensitive skin and stomach formula (no fillers or by products like the other flavors) and I still do a quality wet can in the morning. I had horrible cat allergies and couldn't have a cat prior to that food. Absolutely life changing. I don't even need allergy meds anymore. I always sound like a paid partner haha but no one has sent me free food yet

    BunnySlayer64 Oh, please tell me his middle name will be "Huckleberry"! (He needs a middle name so he knows when he's really in trouble).

    Icy-Variation6614 I love the name! And I'd be willing to cause a traffic jam if I saw a kitten in the street. I'm sorta allergic too, plus my indoor/outdoor one likes to roll in things I'm allergic too. Zyrtec and Flonase is what I was told by the doctor. I'm not a doctor so don't take my comment as an instruction, just saying there's stuff that can help.

    Rich_Group_8997 Congrats on the new fluffball. Glad you were able to keep your wife tho. ② Spouses are often difficult to rehome.
