How do you mean? "[R]ecently learned ... and it made me very sad." Makes it sound like you discovered you had an allergy or something?
There's medicine for that though—I got asthma attacks from being with cats, so I used inhalers for example.
There might be a way!
Unfortunately, for my issue, I couldn't find a therapist who could unwrap why physical interaction with a cat made me gag. Maybe it's some strange phobia...
Aw that sounds terrible. But also, sounds like a unique and interesting reaction! I wonder if it's just the fur, or if the body and joints contribute too like you were saying—maybe you could have a a sphinx if it's the former.
