I used to have a cat. Then everyone in my life was allergic - my boyfriend, my mother, my brother, my three closest friends, etc. In the end, the cat went. Not because of the boyfriend, but because no one could come to my apartment. I won't own another cat.

Now I have a dog and that's a completely different story. A man wouldn't have gotten beyond a first date if he was allergic to or didn't like dogs. My dog is like my kid - and for four years she has been the baby and only child. Thank goodness hubby loves her too.
