dh and I have gone with 7 week old ds to stay with sil and her family. They have 3 cats. Since getting here I've recalled that in the past, when staying here, I've quite often had something like a heavy cold, with occasional breathing problems (I do have asthma). I've never really thought much of it, as it's always passed, but now I'm wondering whether I might have a cat allergy of some sort, and if so, would ds automatically have one too? In other words, is it safe for him to be here? I've lived with cats before and not had allergic reactions, and am the kind of person who always makes a beeline for cats when I'm visiting people with them and can't recall any kind of reaction anywhere else. Any ideas?
