When it comes to kittens, I lose my mind altogether. I almost can't take them, I love them that much.

I used to breed & show purebred cats until I developed a cat allergy that triggered a serious asthma attack & my doctor insisted that I get rid of all of them. I could have a Sphynx or a Cornish Rex, but that's about it. No more Persians (never had good ones though) and no more of the shorthair breed that I bred for years. I'd kill for a Manx or Tonkinese right now; I had one of each of these, too. But I have not had a really bad asthma attack like that one since then and I look forward to getting a dog off the "Obama/the hypoallergenic list" (a soft-coated wheaten terrier). I'm much less allergic to dogs than cats. Since I love both cats and dogs; I just find it hard to live with no animals at all right now.
