According to tests at the doctors a decade or so ago I have a scattering of allergies which include pollen, dust mites and dogs, but I'm not supposed to be allergic to cats. That's why I got kittens.
Now I'm begining to wonder. At least two out of my four kids are showing symptoms (including shortness of breath, itchy eyes, red eyes and blocked noses) so I'm wondering how I can be sure this is down to the kittens.
I don't want to get rid of our beautiful kittens as we've had them for weeks now and they've really become part of the family but obviously if the kids are allergic they'll have to go.
How do I find out for sure? I understand that our NHS is particularly bad in this area so I'd rather not have to pay but if I have to I will.
I'd be greatful for any advice.

Allergies and intolerances
I need to find out if we're allergic to our kittens before I make a heart breaking decision.
