Yes, they produce far less allergic reactions. A buddy of mine is allergic to cats but suffers no reactions when around her.

Nice! My wife really wants another cat but we are both allergic and feeling a lot better (allergy wise) since ours passed away a few years ago.

Cool that there are options. Thanks!

I think that you can be allergic to different parts of animals (IIRC, for cats it is hair, dander/skin, or saliva), so before you buy in you may want to get checked - a subset of cat-allergic people are just as allergic to the hairless ones (also heard of some breeds out of Europe that don't have the dander component?). You probably also need a tinfoil hat, b/c those cats look like they have a direct link to some super weird mind-ray stuff (and I mean 'relative to normal cat mind control' level of weird).

Requesting assistance from cat owners. The week before Hamilton went to the vet for his grooming a stray showed up lingering around my house and the neighbors. Hamilton has always been an indoor/outdoor cat. He has a litter box inside but prefers to go outside so I've just always let him come and go as he pleases. I have a pet door on the garage door and another on the entrance to the house from the garage but keep it locked as he likes to get on the car.

Friday I came home from work and he shat in one of the spare bedrooms. Completely unlike him. His litter box stays clean so it isn't because it was dirty. Saturday morning I caught him pissing in the corner of the same bedroom. I started keeping the door closed to this room this weekend and caught him pissing outside the door to this bedroom again last night.
Completely baffled. All he has to do is go to a door, meow and he gets to go outside. Could he be doing this to express his disdain for getting groomed or could it possibly be because of the stray that has showed up outside and he is marking his territory? I have to find a fix to this as I can't allow him to destroy my house. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Did the stray happen to make its way into said room thru the animal doors?

Is Hamilton in the beginning stages of some illness? The equivalent to kennel cough for dogs?

100%. I'd never launch into getting an animal without doing research first and understanding the pros/cons. At this point we have 1 geriatric dog who doesn't like her routine messed with and a 7 year old dog who loves to chase and bite cats, so, we are talking like 5 to 8 years before we would get one as the current situation does not lend itself to bringing a new cat into the mix.

Dang, sorry man. Cats can be fickle that way. Ours would do the same thing from time to time when it was under stress. Our dogs will periodically do it too. We will go a year without an accident in the house and then suddenly, one of them is pooping in the house several times a day for several days. Then it resolves itself just as quickly and mysteriously as it started. My best advice is to just stay calm and give it a couple days. I'll bet it resolves.

The stray hasn't been inside nor can it gain access. A girl I dated a few years back did bring her new kitten by once and it did pee in that particular bedroom but that was years ago and the carpets have been cleaned since then. Plus I've had Hamilton for almost 3 years now. I would imagine if he were smelling the scent of the kitten, he would have already detected it by now.

I'll try letting it resolve itself for a week and see how that plays out. Next thought is to have the carpets cleaned or possibly some of those pheromone scents.

If he stops peeing altogether, and/or stops eating/drinking, then I'd check with a vet - it was a sign one of ours was having bladder issues. But also a real common behavior for territorial or "expressive" purposes (i.e. he's PO'd about the haircut). I'm betting it is the new cat - that is a classic territorial thing for male cats.

I'm thinking the same thing. This poses a whole new set of issues. Due to the low income housing down the street from my house. The tenants are well known for dropping off animals at the end of my street. Usually every spring there are new critters running around the neighborhood that are none of the neighbors. How do I go about getting rid of a stray cat that just wants to hang out around my place?

like someone mentioned earlier could be a bladder problem.

Wow - odd behavior. If Hamilton if fixed, then it is very unlikely he is 'marking'. They don't really do that if they have been neutered.

It seems he has decided that the room is now an acceptable place to go potty. Typically, the simplest solution to this is to make it an unattractive place to go. You can spray some 'anti-scratch' spray in the room to see if that helps. Another option is to put various things in there to make it difficult to find a place to go, such as furniture and what not. You can also start putting his food and water bowl in there - since cats usually will not go potty anywhere near where they eat.

Toss catnip and food into a different (unloved) neighbours backyard for a little while for the stray to become affixed to that house?

Hmmm, Now_Rudi has a cat that's upset about the neighborhood stray hanging around his turf. Run Silent takes in spare cats. How far apart do you two live? I have an idea.....

This is like when you're looking at Craigslist and you see an add for a "free washing machine, you must haul away", then 2 lines down you see a post for "need washing machine, cheap, have truck." and you wonder how have you two not found each other yet. You can solve each other's problems!

I'm picturing Now_Rudi piloting the 360 at above legal speeds through the curves of the dragon while you are strapped in the passenger seat trying to hold onto a couple of less than amused, mangy, stray cats. Post photos to the "LOL Pics" thread if this ever happens...
