hey ladies. new here. decided this would be the best place to post about our kitty.  we had a cat for 7 years. he was a short haired gray and white tiger.  my oldest (who is now 5) never showed any signs of allergies. our cat got leukemia and had a seizure so we put him down about 3 weeks ago.  sunday (2days ago) we picked out a kitty. he is a 3month old short haired gray and white tiger same as our old cat. all day today my oldest has been sneezing. and they do not sound like normal sneezes.  they sound barky.  he does get croup a few times a year, so i know the bark, but that is a barking COUGH, this is a barking sneeze. any help ladies? advice, tips? thanks

I have been allergic to cats since I was 15 and mine set in literally over night. I was fine one day and the next morning the cat was sitting on my stomach and all I could do was sneeze. I was tested and along with way to many more to list I was and still am allergic to cats.

All I can do is suggest that you keep an eye on him and see if it gets worse( like croup) and try putting the cat in a different room away from him for a few hours and see if that helps.  A process of elimination so to speak.

Good luck
