Most aspies love cats

I didn’t choose my cat, she chose me. I bended to pick up something in the square where I lived and she climbed my shoulder. A car was burning in the square so I went in search of a phone to call the firefighters. The cat continued to keep my shoulders, and stayed with me for another twenty one years (not on my shoulders). She was black, not big sized and incredibly courageous. She had several kitties, but was very choosy in mating. Cats can be very different in character.
Cats do not obey orders, have extraordinary eyes and an unmatched agility.
I also like dogs. I used to spend time in looking them playing in the park behind where I lived. I would prefer wolves and foxes were they easy to manage.

I love both cats and dogs, but cats are easier to take care of. There are days when I am extremely fatigued, and it is then that I am grateful that I don't have to take a dog for a walk, or summon energy to play with it. My cat sleeps with me, and seems to understand when I am stressed or feeling blue, and she gets extra affectionate.

Cats are my favourite animal and pet. I like how they are somewhat independent, but cuddly and nice too. The next cat I raise will be potty trained, so that he/she is that much easier to care for.

Ditto. Cats seem too creepy to me.

My son's first "friend" was a cat, and the passion hasn't gone away.
He also likes platypusses (very shy but have poison spikes).

This is a hairless cat, I think they are called Sphinx cats? Poor puddy. I love cats and I suppose I'd get to love a hairless cat eventually because they are cats but it wouldn't be the same stroking one without fur. I bet they feel the cold too.

I went to a cat show once and the absolute nicest cat there was a Sphinx cat. Such a nice cat. There are also the Rex cats which may lessen allergic reactions.

I love cats! But when it comes to dogs, I love huskies and weiner dogs. I'm also a big fan of wolves and have a jacket, blanket and shirt with pictures of them on it. I even have plushies of 'em!

the best way of removing odor is to put a teaspoon of baking soda on the potty material you use. you can also add grounded charcoal so that it'll absorb the odors. for allergy, give the cat a bath (warm water please) and look for a good soap/shampoo to rinse off the dander/allergens. finally all cats whether long hair or short needs to be comb. this removes the dander and keeps the fur shiny.

Hairless cats are NOT hypo-allergenic. The allergic reaction is to proteins in the cats' saliva (and in their urine). A cat licks itself, gets the protein-y saliva all over its body, it eventually dries and flakes off. Then humans breathe the flakes in and you get an allergic reaction. Hairless cats still lick themselves and produce the protein.

You may get a diminished reaction from a hairless cat up close because they don't have the fur to trap all the allergens close to their body, but the allergens are still dropped off their body and all over the room/furniture/in the air.

The cats offered by the company Allerca are engineered/modified to not produce the protein that causes allergic reactions.

I want to reduce my allergic reaction to cats but I'm not so set on that idea that I would do something so suicidal as giving a cat a bath.

I gave my in doors cat a bath twice and it was not fun for me or the
cat. After he got out of the bath he chased his tail in a circle , I guess because it was wet and he was freaked out by the way it looked.

I never bathe my cats, they manage themselves. Why would you do such a thing if they don't have flles

My cat screamed at the top of her lungs when I *tried* to give her a bath.

We had a major flea outbreak and he was scratching his skin to much. I manually picked the fleas off him after giving up bathing.
I like picking fleas off anyway. That was about a year ago. We got no fleas right now.

Most people I talk to think there's something wrong with me becuase I detest dogs. Proabably because their messy, noisy and too trusting.

I perfur meerkats to anything. And no those are not felines.
