I'm a cat person too, but my wife is allergic so now I don't get to have any (bummer).
I was told by a doc years ago I'm very allergic to cats and dogs and shouldn't have them. I'm also a rule breaker and am convinced that by being with them constantly, I turned my allergies around, otherwise, I'd be dead
Doubt you can convince your wife of this, but you know...just had to share...
