To Annie, please: I have a fantastic connection with a man who I love. He has made my life so much more joyful in the more than a year that we have been together.
The only problem is that he has a serious allergy to cats, and I’ve owned two for years. I can’t image my life without my cats, which are like family to me. However, his allergy is so severe that it makes it hard for him to even visit my house.
We have discussed the future, and although I want to start a life with him, I’m not sure how to handle this. It feels unimaginable to rehome my cat, but I don’t want our connection or his health to suffer. Is it possible to handle this circumstance without losing my lover or my pets? — Torn Between Fur and Love

As much as you adore your cats, they also require a healthy environment. You will both discover a balance that allows you to create a future without losing either of your passions if he is dedicated to finding a way forward.
