Mistik

Location: Austin, Texas, USA.

MistikThis is a five-week old classic tabby. We found him at a country store, along with his brothers and sisters. At our home, he found several favorite sleeping places, including a tennis shoe and his cat box! Here he is posing on a pumpkin while sniffing a flower. Unfortunately, we had to give him away because two people in our family were allergic to him. But we still love him!

Woo Hoo! A backpack of my very own! Now I can play with lots of kitties! C.J. is going to be jealous, VERY jealous. Oh well…I guess she will learn…if I can’t have them at home at least I can “play” with them here.

Backpack? I keep seeing this what is it?

Comment by Thomas
2007-03-11 04:51:20

the “backpack”, Ange, is purely hypothetical: it is a place where we place kittens for snorgles, squishes, and tummy rubs. Of course, we all share amongst ourselves, so if you don’t get first “grab”, don’t worry, the kitten will get around to you eventually!

I found out I was allergic to cat hair among other things, but that didin’t keep me from having 3 in the house at once!!!!!!! I found that I didn’t mind the symtoms after a while, and that a lot of other things were blocking my nose and making me sneeze, besides cat hair. The cats were only a small part of what I was allergic to, like cut grass, mold, birds ect. I would rather be stuffed up than NOT have my babies around. I hope you found the cat a good home?

I totally agree with you. I´m alergic too, but if a doctor tell me to get rid of my cats I just get rid of him!

Comment by Rainingwolf in Oregon
2007-03-10 20:29:49

The polydactyls were gorgeous. I have to say, about both the sweet little Mistik today, and Bonnie, the polydactyl, that I would NEVER give them up. I’m terribly allergic, but take Allegra and just put up with the remaining symptoms it doesn’t fix. If I had to move in with my kids, like the lady who owned Bonnie did, I’d live under a bridge before I’d let them tell me to give up my cats! Just sayin’……

Comment by AmyLou from Missouri
2007-03-11 01:45:57

I agree, Rainingwolf. I have a friend whose bf wasn’t a cat person, and he automatically assumed that she would give up her children (the furry kind, of course) if they moved in together. He just talked about it as if it were a given and she didn’t have a choice. Obviously, they broke up.

Yes, I am allergies to everything. Zyrtec is great , for all season allergies. I have food allergies too, garlic if to much gives me migraine headaches, allergy to water. Makes me itch for about 10 minutes. Drink only filtered water.
Love the kitty of the day. lol

Hi, Ange. I’m a recent follower of TDK myself. I believe if all of us got together, we would probably be amazed by our diversity. For example, I’m just an ordinary white guy from South Louisiana, who dodges hurricanes from time-to-time. However, we all share an appreciation, and a love for those little fuzz-buckets we know as “kittens.”

Thanks for the welcome Catwrangler!
I bet you are right. With all our diversities, backgrounds, belief systems and values we are all brought together for our love of all things that are small, cute, furry and fluffy.
Since I stumbled across this side one day I have been hooked on seeing the next cute furball.

Welcome to the site, Ange! I have been off and on this week, because work has been hectic. I’m sort of out of the loop with the convo lately, but I haven’t missed any of the sweet little babies! Good thing, I wouldn’t make it through my day!

So tru. I am currently working at least for another week full time through home and hospital teaching/tutoring grades 1 to 12th. I am currently working with 8 students. Talk about busy. I spend more time in my car driving then at home these days. I can’t wait until the 17th. I will go back to full time substitue teaching and keep 2 of my current Home and Hospital students to the end of the school year. Hopefully by August I will have a full time teaching position in an elementary classroom.

The 17th I am going to a job fair for teachers. Hopefully I will get hired. ;o)

Welcome, Ange! I get a lot from this site, but am new at posting.

I had a very severe allergic reaction to a kitten when I was a 10 year old, and out went the cat! I was 55 years old when I got Kelsie 7 years ago. My allergist told me I might walk in the house one day in a year or two and have a bad reaction and drop dead. I said, “In the meantime I’ll be happy. Just come let the cat out.” I quit doing the shots and got the kitten. Never have had ANY problems, and recently added Maizie and still no problems.

I did allery shots for a long time (up to 5 at a time) and most of the time I do okay, but now the newest allergies all seem to be drug related. I’m allergic to what they want to use when I have an allergic reaction. I just tell myself “If you’re supposed to drown, you ain’t gonna hang.”

Comment by Sharon in Austell
2007-03-12 01:14:01

When I did my allergy testing they informed me that pets were one of my allergies. I said I slept on my cats and dogs and had no reaction whatsoever and was informed that I had probably developed an immunity to them. I’ll accept that!
Love your final comment..
