Im Allergic To My Cat! Im allergisk over for min kat!

Having a cat allergy came as something of a surprise to me. Under en kat allergi kom som noget af en overraskelse for mig. Growing up, I had many pets - cats, dogs and birds. Vokser op, jeg har haft mange kæledyr - katte, hunde og fugle. My family were animal lovers and pets abounded, so being in contact with animals was a daily occurance. Min familie var dyr kærester og kæledyr abounded, så at være i kontakt med dyr var en daglig foreteelse. No one ever seemed to suffer from a cat allergy or any kind of animal allergy for that matter. Ingen nogensinde syntes at lide af en kat allergi eller nogen form for animalske allergi for den sags skyld.

After my teens and my last pet had died, I wasn't in a position to take on another pet for many years. Efter teenager og mit sidste kæledyr var døde, var jeg ikke i stand til at tage på et andet kæledyr i mange år. Then, eleven years ago, a friend of a cousin was looking for a home for their last remaining kitten. Derefter, elleve år siden, en ven af en fætter var på udkig efter et hjem til deres sidste killing. And so it was that Kira came into my life. Og så var det, at Kira kom ind i mit liv. This was a cat with attitude (and still is!) and we bonded pretty much immediately. Dette var en kat med attitude (og stadig er!), Og vi er fæstnet stort set det samme. While she was still a kitten, I'd put her in the kitchen overnight with a little cat bed to sleep in and the litter box close by. Mens hun var stadig en killing, jeg vil sætte hende i køkkenet natten over med en lille kat seng at sove i og strøelse boks tæt ved.

As she grew older, I started letting her sleep in the bedroom. Som hun voksede ældre, begyndte jeg at lade hende sove i soveværelset. It's surprising how relaxing a cat's purring can be in wee small hours. Det er overraskende, hvordan afslappende en kattens bliver ved med at spinde kan i bitte små timer.

A little over a year later, when down with the vet getting some supplies, I heard that there was a kitten that needed a home or it would have to be put to sleep. Lidt over et år senere, når ned med dyrlægen at få nogle forsyninger, jeg hørte, at der var en killing, der havde brug for et hjem eller det ville være nødt til at blive sat på vågeblus. And so, Fritz came home with me that day. Og ja, Fritz kom hjem med mig, at dagen.

Unfortuately, Kira was less than impressed with this interloper and I had to keep the two separated for several days before an uneasy truce ensued. Unfortuately, Kira var mindre end imponeret over denne interloper og jeg var nødt til at holde de to adskilt i flere dage før en usikker våbenhvile sig gældende.

They're an odd pair - Kira has attitude, Fritz is much more companionable; what you'd call a "gentle soul". De er et ulige par - Kira har attitude, Fritz er langt mere companionable, hvad du kalder en "blide sjæl". She's still the Queen around the house and occasionally puts Fritz in his place with a right-hook to the face when she feels the need to assert her authority. Hun er stadig Dronningen omkring huset og ind imellem sætter Fritz i hans sted med en højre-hook til ansigt, når hun føler behov for at hævde sin myndighed.

As Fritz matured, he also was allowed into the bedroom. Som Fritz modnet, han også fik lov til soveværelset. Both he and Kira would sleep there during the day and night, as was their want. Både han og Kira ville sove der i løbet af dagen og natten, som var deres ønsker.

We all know that cats are the greatest creature-comfort-seeking animals on the planet and a comfy place to catnap is one of their major concerns. Vi ved alle, at katte er de største væsen-komfort-søger dyr på jorden og en comfy sted at lille lur er en af deres største bekymringer. But the place your cat chooses to snooze may not be your first choice. Men det sted, din kat vælger at udsættelsestimeout kan ikke være dit første valg. While I didn't mind the cats sleeping on the bed, I did take exception to Fritz's tendency to charge in from the garden and sleep in a basket of warm, freshly dried laundry straight from the dryer. Selv om jeg ikke mente det katte sover på sengen, jeg tog undtagelse Fritz's tendens til at opkræve ind fra haven og sove i en kurv af varm, frisk tørret vasketøj lige fra tørretumbler.

The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine recently conducted a poll of pet-owners on the sleeping habits of their pets and found that 60% of them sleep in bed with one of the family. Den Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine for nylig gennemført en meningsmåling af PET-ejere om at sove vaner af deres kæledyr og konstateret, at 60% af dem sover i sengen med en af familien. Where cats are concerned, there are two potential problems here: one is that, somehow, they manage to take up 90% of the bed and the other has to do with allergies. Når katte er bekymrede, er der to potentielle problemer her: Den ene er, at anden måde, de formår at tage op 90% af sengen og den anden har at gøre med allergi.

I found I had a mild cat allergy when I started producing weird wheezing noises any time I was doing something strenuous. Jeg fandt jeg havde en mild kat allergi, da jeg startede med at producere underlig hvæsende lyde et hvilket som helst tidspunkt var jeg gøre noget anstrengende. Coughing eased it for a few minutes but it would always return. Hoste lettede det for et par minutter, men det vil altid vende tilbage. I figured I'd developed a mild form of asthma, probably due to bad air quality and pollution, so I went to the doctor to have it checked out. Jeg regnede jeg udviklet en mild form for astma, sandsynligvis på grund af dårlig luftkvalitet og forurening, så jeg gik til læge for at få det checket ud. After listening to my lungs he asked me one question: "Do you have a cat?" Efter at have lyttet til mine lunger han bedt mig om ét spørgsmål: "Har du en kat?"

Well, yes, I did. Nå, ja, jeg gjorde. Two in fact. To i virkeligheden.

"You're allergic to your cats", he intoned. "Du er allergisk over for din kat", han intoned.

Then he asked if the cats slept in the bedroom. Så han spurgte, om de katte sov i soveværelset. Of course they did. Naturligvis de gjorde.

"There's your real problem", he said. "Der er dit egentlige problem", siger han. "What you're allergic to is the dander produced by your cats. When a cat sleeps on your bed, the dander ends up in the sheets and the duvet and you breathe it in deeply at night when you're asleep. Not good. That's what causes your wheeziness. Stop the cats sleeping in your bedroom for two or three weeks and see if that eases your symptoms. If not, you'll probably need to use an inhaler for the rest of your life." "Hvad du er allergisk over for er dander produceret af dine katte. Når en kat sover på din seng, den dander ender i ark og dyne og du har indånder det i dybt om natten, når du sover. Ikke god. Det er, hvad årsagerne din astma. Stop katte sover i dit soveværelse for to eller tre uger og se, om det letter dine symptomer. Hvis ikke, skal du nok nødt til at bruge en inhalator til resten af dit liv. "

Ok, that last sentence kinda hit me between the eyes. Ok, at sidste punktum kinda ramte mig mellem øjnene. Much as I love my two furballs, I didn't want to suffer a long-lasting health problem that could possibly be avoided. Meget som jeg elsker mine to furballs, jeg ønskede ikke at lide under en langvarig sundhedsproblem, der eventuelt kunne undgås.

So why is dander such a problem? Så hvorfor er dander så stort et problem? It's the layer of dead skin that's rich in animal protein, which is continuously shed by animals. Det er det lag af døde hud, der er rig på animalsk protein, som er til stadighed en stald af dyr. Sebaceous (oil producing) glands in the skin also produce these protein allergens. Sebaceous (olieproducerende) kirtler i huden også disse protein allergener. Male cats have, on average, greater amounts of sebaceous secretions and therefore are more allergenic than female or neutered male cats. Mand katte har i gennemsnit større beløb af sebaceous sekreter og derfor er mere allergifremkaldende end kvindelige eller kastrerede handyr katte. This is a result of testosterone hormone effects on sebaceous glands. Dette er et resultat af testosteron hormon virkninger på sebaceous kirtler.

So, with that information and the prospect of an enduring health problem, I banned my cats from the bedroom, threw out the duvet (on the advice of the doctor), bought a new one and changed everything on the bed (including getting new pillows). Så med disse oplysninger og udsigten til en varig sundhedsproblem, jeg forbød mine katte fra soveværelset, kastede de dyne (efter råd fra læge), købt en ny og ændret alt på sengen (herunder at få nye puder ). I didn't get too much sleep the first few nights with the cats meowing and scratching on the door to get in but they got used to the idea, finally. Jeg fik ikke for meget søvn de første par nætter med katte meowing og skrabe på døren for at komme i, men de vant til, at ideen endelig. After three weeks in a cat free bedroom, my wheeziness had all but disappeared. Efter tre uger i en kat gratis soveværelse, min astma havde alle, men forsvandt. The cats haven't been allowed back in since. Kattene ikke har fået lov tilbage i siden.

Should you find yourself with a similar cat allergy problem, banning the cat from your bedroom is one possible course of action. Skal du finde dig selv med en lignende kat allergi problem, der forbyder katten fra dit soveværelse er en mulig vej. Alternatively, you can get your cat his own cat bed and put that somewhere out of harm's way (yours and the cat's). Alternativt kan du få din kat sin egen kat seng og sætte det andet ud af skade på vej (din egen og kattens).

Since finding out I was mildly allergic to my cats, I've spoken to other cat owners about it and quite a number also suffer some mild form of allergic reaction - sneezing, wheezing, watering eyes, blocked sinuses and so on. Siden finde ud af jeg var mildt allergisk over for mine hunde, jeg har talt med andre katte-ejere om det, og ganske mange også lide nogle mild form for allergisk reaktion - nysen, hiven efter vejret, vanding øjne, blokerede bihuler og så videre. Owners appear to become at least somewhat immune to their own cats insofar as the symptoms are not as pronounced as they become when they're around other people's cats. Ejere ser ud til at blive i det mindste lidt immune over for deres egne katte, da symptomerne er ikke så udtalt som de bliver, når de er omkring andre folks katte.

But, having said that, none of us would ever part with our feline companions and would exhort others to adopt a cat as a pet, as the benefits far outweigh any minor inconveniences. Men når det er sagt, at ingen af os nogensinde ville dele med vores felin kammerater og vil tilskynde andre til at vedtage en kat som et kæledyr, som de fordele langt opvejer eventuelle mindre ulemper.

Animal dander allergy can significantly contribute to respiratory problems involving the sinuses, nasal passages, and eyes, as well as causing upper respiratory tract problems that can result in asthma (as in my case). Animal dander allergi kan bidrage mærkbart til respiratoriske problemer med bihuler, næse og øjne, såvel som forårsager øvre luftveje problemer, der kan føre til astma (som i mit tilfælde). These problems can significantly diminish your quality of life despite various medical treatments. Disse problemer kan i væsentlig grad forringer din livskvalitet på trods af forskellige medicinske behandlinger. For some people, it can be even more serious, leading to recurrent acute asthmatic attacks that can be life threatening, requiring emergency room visits and hospitalizations. For nogle mennesker kan det være endnu mere alvorlige, hvilket fører til tilbagevendende akut astmatiker angreb, som kan være livstruende, kræver skadestue besøg og hospitalsindlæggelser. The good news is that most people who are allergic to their pets can keep their symptoms under control if they know the facts. Den gode nyhed er, at de fleste mennesker, der er allergiske over for deres kæledyr kan holde deres symptomer under kontrol, hvis de kender de faktiske forhold.
