Allergies are not as linear as allergy = death/miserable. Some dander is not the same as others and some people only react to certain types. He could have just been bullshitting too.

Allergy meds can also help a ton. I'm mildly allergic. Congestion, itchy eyes and face. I had one cat, married into 5 more. I'm fine as long as I stay on top of my allergy meds.

Sadly I could never live with a cat or dog as their dander makes my airways slowly close up :(

Yeah, animals can be breathtaking.

my allergies got better as i lived with cats longer. either way it's more put-up-with-able than not having a cat

I'm allergic to cats but grew up with one (she lived to 21!) and my fiance has a cat and we moved in together. It's fine I just have to keep the cat away from my face and I wash my hands after petting her.

Even if I don't I just get really itchy, it's not the worst. Worth it for the pets and cuddles.
