Finding a good home for her hubby and one that does not have old people who he will be allergic to might be quite a task!

@TLK

I also suggest a new pet hubby instead of cat

Even though YOU bought the cat, your mum and siblings have grown to love it, its a life after all, not some inanimate object, it has its own personality and quirks or whatever and people love their pets, so the best compromise would involve the cat staying methinks and maybe getting your family to visit you more often. And as someone some members have already suggested, maybe keep it at a friend’s home for the weekend you’re there?
Honestly if i had a pet cat, i wouldnt be able to get rid of it just like that. Cats may not be as loyal as dogs but people are always really attached to their pets, no matter what kind of pet they are. also have you tried to explain how badly your hubby suffers to your mum and that he feels hurt and as if the cat is more important to her than him? Might make her more sensitive to his issue with the cat? anyways, good luck!

i wouldnt pay heed to your advice… ur a cat urself…ur obviously biased

It would be really hard to get rid of the family pet especially if it's not YOUR home. I understand your mom's feelings.

Can your mom keep the guest bedroom cat and cat hair free? Or quarantine the cat when you are over.

Can your husband take Allegra or ask a physican? This is a common problem - I am sure a allergist can prescribe and suggest something.

Hmm so poor hubby is second fiddle. I knew it.

Re: My husband and the cat

it's not about hubby versus mom or hubby versus cat.

It's like being allergic to oak trees and asking someone to chop one down in the backyard.

Your mother needs to get rid of the cat. It’s as simple as that! If you stop visiting would it be ok with yr family and even yrself? I am sure they can live without a cat .

I seem to be getting in a regular habit of doing this with posts in this section.

My mom does keep my bedroom cat and cat hair free. It still doesn't work. Cat dander is hard to get rid of unless you sanitize your place and my husband's cat allergies are pretty bad. Even if the cat is locked in one room, the dander is still present throughout the house because the cat is all over the house at all other times. Dander is like dust. It's everywhere! Also he has taken Allegra, Claritin etc. but the only thing that works for him is a steroid spray. And someone mentioned to take that and visit the family every 2 weeks. Well the spray has to be taken a week in advance for it to work so he'll be taking it half the month which is not something I would like him to do. This spray is really strong.

You can't treat allergies...it's a condition that one has to live with and some medications can offer temporary relief. Most doctors just tell you to stay away from the source of the allergy i.e. the cat.

I am going to limit our visits to once a month and have the cat stay at a family friend's while we are there. If that doesn't work, we just have to stop visiting and have my family visit us instead. We are only near my family for two years anyways so hopefully this approach can work till we move back.

Hubby isnt going to like MIL after this is done!

With allergies that serious, family being attached to the cat, concerns with taking nasal inhalers with steroids, and a desire to go see your family. I suggest you guys get a hotel close by, meet them for dinner outside etc. Sure it's an expense but one that may be worth keeping all somewhat happy.
