I'm going crazy!!
Last weds we got a kitten. My boyfriend had a cold for a few days before and few days after we got it.
I was fine weds - monday with the kitten in the house. Tuesday I went crazy cleaning because BF seems to have developed allergies to it. Monday I started getting cold symptoms and they got worse all week. I'm still really bad today. I feel worst in the morning, then clear up a little during the day and seem ok at night except for my throat feels dry and makes me cough constantly.
BF is having the same issues. Since he had a cold last week before we got the kitten, its making me wonder if we have allergies or if we are having a hard time recovering from our colds.
Can a cold make you cough and feel like you have a dry throat every 3 mins or so. It's only 1-2 coughs about every 3 mins. We are both stuffy and I'm sneezing a ton!
I know this probably sounds like a crazy "DUH, of course it's allergies" question... but his WHOLE family has cats of all different types and neither him nor I have EVER been allergic. His sister had 4 cats at one point and we could spend HOURS there without a problem. Suddenly we get one tiny kitten and within days we are both hacking away.
Since the cold was thrown into the mix I'm not sure whether to rehome the kitten or give it a few more days/a week to see if we both get better. I'm so sad because our kitten is sooooo cute!!!
