Looks like we might not be able to keep the new kitty.
My wife's pretty upset...as apparently she knew soon after bringing her home...she came into the kitchen awhile ago, crying...
Apparently my wife has developed an allergic reaction to whatever...she gets hives that itch like crazy wherever Lily touches her skin...even got some through her pant leg. She was thinking maybe just the claws...and I wondered if it was the litter. She has allergies to a pile of things...couldn't keep straw for the dogs when we had dogs...no real Christmas trees...I do the gardening...I wonder if Stephen King could make my wife non-allergic to Lily? Was looking forward to making her a post, shelves on it, cover it w/rug material...so on so forth. Like my post. Bummer.
Crazy thing is she has had cats before...family had Tangy for 22 years, no problemo...she wasn't allergic to the dogs...so baring some sort of reversal or whatever...looks like we will bringing Lily back to the spay & neuter group. The search engines aren't much help...looked there. She had this test done this once down in Marquette...doc pricks her skin about a hundred times, so on so forth. There's even some skin lotions she's allergic...some ingredient in most lotions.
Could be worse I guess...could be better, too.

She might just need a bath. Since she's been outside, she may have come in contact with stuff that makes your wife allergic. If you bathe her and get that off, she might be just fine. But obviously she'd have to be an indoor cat.Looks like we might not be able to keep the new kitty.

Good luck to your wife Walter - that's a shameLooks like we might not be able to keep the new kitty.

She was found something like six weeks ago...and she'd been in a foster home until Saturday. We've made arrangements to bring her back to the foster home...the people there were sad to see her go...and I imagine they'll be happy to see her return. Sometimes the answer is no. We've a niece who grew up w/dogs...is now married w/a child...they tried to bring a dog into that family and turns out the niece is now allergic. Crazy how the world works sometimes.
She may have brought something over on her fur from the foster home. A good bath will at least give her a chance to stay with you. I would think you would see if that worked within a day or two.
Yeah...that's a possibility...as we could not use straw for the dogs' winter kennel...nor cedar...ended by using Styrofoam...that's why I wondered if maybe it was the litter. My wife thought that it was okay to pet the kitty...and she did...it was only when Lily dug her claws in playing...even just touching w/the claws.
Definitely if she scratches and has litter or something, that could be the culprit. You could try trimming her nails too to see if that cleans the matter up. If it works, they have these things called nail caps that you can put on the kitty where she wouldn't break the skin. I've never used the nail caps, so maybe someone on here knows a little more about them?
Just catching up now Walter, I'm so sorry to hear this, I do hope you guys will find something that works, DJ has some good ideas there.

Walt, that is so hard to have to make that decision.
Sorry about the kitty Walter! Hope all works out for you all.

Thanks! It's just Jinx, but has morphed into Jinxie and Jinxie-cat.
Pearl is Pearly-girl, Pearlita and what ever else I say at any given moment. Winston is Winnie-Man, Inny-pants, and Get-off-the-freaking-plants-cat, among other names.Thanks! It's just Jinx, but has morphed into Jinxie and Jinxie-cat.
I am of the tribe of No Good Name Shall Be Left to Stand Alone myself.
Here's a couple of new pictures of Winston, Pearl would not let me take her picture. She hates paparazzi, and I don't have the where-with-all to chase her around this morning.
Here's the last picture she "let" me take. She was sleeping and I sneaked up on her. As soon as I took this she ran off yawning and cussing at me. She is the reincarnation of Greta Garbo and wishes to be left alone. She hates publicity.
