Cleaning (e.g., dusting, vacuuming).

Outside isn't so good for cats in most areas of the country, maybe you could find it a new good home instead.

<< threw it out side >>



lovely.

steam cleaning, and don't rely on it... cat dander can be a lasting allergen for up to two years according to a pamphlet I got about allergies.

Life outside is still precarious. Even if the cat is up to date on all vaccinations (more necessary for outside than for inside cat, exposed to more outdoors), has its claws and in in good general health, is treated regularly for fleas and ticks (can't be outside w/o getting fleas, especially during summer), it's still up against the automobile, neighborhood nuts and cat-hating neighbors.

Did you read the thread where someone said they'd gladly kill a cat if they saw it up on their car/scratching the paint? That's just sample of what cats are up against outside.

For the past 10 or so years we have had 5 indoor/outdoor cats - one was found in a the city trash clubbed to death, one simply disappeared, one was killed by an automobile, the remaining 2 cats are indoor only now. I hope your kitty fares better than ours did.

Don't feel guilty about the cat.

Clean your house thoroughly with a hepa-filter vacuum cleaner and then steam clean the carpets.

i'm not worried about the cat. besides it was getting to be a hassele to keep the thing inside.... and we have no carpets. only hard wood. so that makes it that much easier!

My allergies were acting up from my kitty, and the vet recommended that I use Miracle Coat. It really works well, and the cat does not hate it nearly as much as the cat hates soaking in a wet bath.

[EDIT: Sorry, did not read the thread thoroughly, thought you still had the cat.]

HEPA vacuum and HEPA filter.

My son (18 months) has bad asthma, and a HEPA filter has made a large improvement. We used to have to run him to the hospital quite often, but according to his doctor, the filter is a big part of the reason this has not happened for awhile. Worth the $100 for the filter and then some... I hate seeing them poke an IV into the little guy... hurts me just as much I think.

You can also get Hypo Alergenic furnace filters at most hardware stores. 3M makes some good ones.
