A cat built entirely out of wood

[serinde]

I have been sitting here playing CoH, as I do. And Ranger came up and meowed for snuggly lap time, as he does. And he started rubbing his face against mine (which makes for *interesting* computer play, as you might guess) as usual.

What is different is that, ten minutes after he jumped down and went about his fuzzy business, I started breaking out in hives all over my cheek and arm, where he had been rubbing. If he was an outdoor cat, this might make some degree of sense; he could have gotten into evergreen sap or yew needles or something...but there is nothing in the house I am allergic to, at all.

You know, allergies can come on somewhat suddenly.

I can tolerate being around cats, but I get all itchy and stuff if I get too cuddly with them. It's a sad, sad, thing.

Yikes! Are they gone?
