I am in the late stages of cancer and want to know if it is safe for me to live with a cat if i am allergic to them?

Cat allergy: Depends on how severe your allergy is to cats. Pets can be a great comfort to you while you battle the cancer. If you love cats then i would advise you talk with your doctor or allergist about medication e.g. Antihistamines to help you tolerate the cat. Bring more comfort and joy into your life with having a cat pet. Also i believe there are some breeds of cat that are low allergy potential.

Yes it is safe: There is no effect on your cancer. If you are allergic to cats and live with them you will have allergy symptoms. You will need to take antihistamines; over the counter allergy medications.
