...then the other??
Since I have Pinky I am scratching my legs too a bloody pulp!!!
I KNOW I am allergic to dogs and birds. Always thought I was allergic to cats too but with Elvis I never had any problem. But now that i have Pinky...It is making me C R A Z Y !!
No, she don't have fleas, I spray her all the time (well sort of, lol Only when it is the time to do so, once a month) I comb her and no fleas are there, I check her and see nothing. So I know it is not fleas.
I DO have Psoriasis and that is getting worse too. HELP!!!!!
OH they're both short haired Europeans lol. No long haired ones, Pinky is just the regular Tabby. Elvis was a regular breed too, nothing special. We call them "garbage can breeds" because mommy is one and daddy another :)

Maybe it is just the psoriasis. I hope it's not Pinky. Have you given her a bath? I know it's not fun but some cats don't mind baths. Jusy wear gloves! That might help with the dander, which I am allergic to. But it's probably the other problem.

My Daughter has two cats, I'm only allergic to one. Its the DANDER that makes you allergic, and its different on each cat.

If you don't have a cat shampoo I would just use a little mild soap or shampoo and rinse really well. Just to get the dander out. Some people have to do that at least once a week to keep the dander down. Good luck!!
