I’ve always wanted a cat, but my allergies have made it impossible. It’s really affected my mental health—watching others with their pets, feeling left out of that comfort and companionship. A hairless cat would finally give me that connection I’ve been missing, without the constant allergic reactions. It’s honestly exhausting to feel like I can’t have something so simple, just because of my allergies. Having a cat could help me feel less isolated and give me that emotional support I really need. It’s just so hard to keep going without that comfort when everyone else seems to have it.
