Safe Cuddling With Fur Babies!
Hello, glorious kittens. Do you have a furry friend? Do you have friends who have furry friends? Do you despite loving your furry friends suffer from slight allergies? Well here is Tox Suki’s step by step book on how to stay around your friends even with those allergies. Spoken by someone who also has slight allergies to our loveable fur babies.
- Benadryl is your friend not as close as your baby but close enough. If you know you are going to a location that will have numerous of our furry friends always make sure you have a healthy supply on hand. Personally, for me I use the pill form but if you like liquid form then stick to what works best for you and you know will work. I have also used the Itch Stick that is used for anti-itch which I have found effective but always test before adding to your care package. This is about maximizing your time with your friends both furry and non-furry. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it.
- Next to add to your care box are cotton face masks. Which can not only make a fashion statement but you’ll look super adorbs while cuddling with your little friend and as added bonus still be able to breathe. Medical face masks come in many forms. From non-cute cotton face masks, specifically designed to block dust, smog, and allergens, to fun designs like K-pop, pandas, kawaii smiles and facial expressions all the way to custom made kandi gloomy bear mask, made by yours truly 😉. If you’re going to wear this mask around for extended periods of time why not go the extra mile and look good doing it.
- Last but certainly not least you like to pet your furry friends and they love to be pet so top priority are gloves. Why not be luxurious, channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and get yourself a pair of nice satin long sleeve burlesque style opera gloves. Our friends love to rub up on us so give them something nice and soft to rub on.
This has been the Tox Suki step by step to cuddling with your fur babies while mitigating your slight allergies. Please note this is not to be used for those who have serious allergies. Please consult with your doctor and as always love all fur babies unconditionally.

Very informative. Thanks ToxSuki. My brother’s wife has a minor cat allergy I’ll be sure to show her this.
Report commentAwww yay!! Thank you =^_^= I hope some of these tips can help her. @kuroshark
Report commentI wish my allergies where mild enough to be around and pet cats. I have tried immunotherapy, medicine, precautions, bathing them in special shampoos, epinephrine pen, even rescue inhalers. I still attempt to get exposed to them as much as possible. Hoping one day I’ll grow out of the allergy.
Report commentAwwwww my heart goes out to you!!! Hopefully one day everyone can enjoy all the cute furry friends. I honestly wish there was a shot or something that could fix this cats are sooo adorable to me and I wish I could have one in my home.
Report commentI love this, it will really help my Mum. She has a bad reaction to pet dander but loves my cat. She looked after him for a while once and was stocked up on every conceivable antihistamine but never thought of gloves or a mask. For about 6 weeks after she was still having to use her inhaler because it affected her asthma- you can hoover and dust twice a day, dander gets everywhere !
Report commentI am excited that some of these tips could really help someone ☺ please let me know her feedback on these tips.
Report commentPost covid I will fetch my Cat from Master and bring him to mums for a day and see how it goes x she always wants to see him even though she knows it’s no good for her
Report commentAwww thats too cute and I feel the same way when I visit my family as they have 3 cats including my fluff ball ❤ that has turned into my dads best friend lol. I am lucky I can be around dogs without any issue so my pup is my ultimately furry friend. I hope one day to try a hairless cat they are just too cute.

Report comment@toxsuki, as a pet sitter, I really enjoy this article. I have had to take several additional precautionary steps to calm the nerves of my clients during this time. One of my biggest passions as a pet sitter is to help educate my clients on several topics to better care for their fur babies.
