 Hello, this is Satsuma, Becca's cat, we love to see me. Hey, what's up you guys, welcome back! Hey, what's up guys, welcome back to my channel. If you are new here, hi, hello, I'm Lydia and in case you didn't gather from the intro, Becca's cat, Satsuma, has come to live with us. Today, I thought I'd do a video about living with a cat when you have severe allergies to cats. Here's a picture of what I was like on day one of Satsuma being here. As you can see, I'm allergic to cats. I know I'm allergic to cats, I've literally been tested. It was cats are like one of my worst allergies next to bees, bees and Satsuma. So I found out I was allergic to cats when I was like 14 and I had an allergy test done. In short, the reason I had the allergy test done is because my nervous does not go straight down. It actually goes to the, the bone goes to the side and the side swells up, making it so I literally cannot breathe through my nervous. But as you can imagine, it's not easy living with a cat and you are literally allergic to them all the time. Especially Satsuma, like I love Satsuma. He's amazing, he's a really cat. I like giving cuddles. He's currently, he's got this ball thing for his food and his past is having it around, it's trying to cheat him. Suma, you had to feast the whole object of it. Not that you care. So Satsuma came to live with us last time today. It's nearly been a week. But the first like six days, five or six days, I had to literally sleep in the lounge. Sumi, I had to sleep in the lounge because I was having a really bad allergic reaction to this little fella, actually little. Oh, Sume. So as you can see, I've had to buy a lot of different products so I can actually live with a cat. Obviously allergies were in a sense where if you are exposed to it, they eventually ease up. Today, I haven't had to have any allergy tablets but I have sprayed everything with stuff and that's why I want to make this video about. The thing is with me is it's mainly the fur that I'm allergic to. The fact that it sticks to my clothes, the bedding, everything, is a problem for me. And I actually found this on Amazon where I was looking for allergy relief. You spray it and it stops from attaching and it also, if there is any fur, it neutralizes it so it doesn't affect my breathing. I need to go out and breathe, I'll leave it on. It just comes, like this is the 350 mil. So it comes like the average bottle and I have actually found this to be long for me. Like since I got it, I've been able to cuddle Sume. I've been able to sleep in the bedroom. I've been able to be around him more, which is good because you know, Becca kind of like being together. We don't like being in our room. Like we don't like being in our room. It's got really good spray range as well this time. It's literally only one of the best things I have at the minute. I love how boring. Trying to break into the cupboard. Come here, it's okay, it zooms, zooms, zooms, zooms. Yeah, go back to what you're eating. So that spray hasn't really helped, as you can imagine. It stops me reacting horrifically to Satsuma. So yeah, like this spray is amazing. What are you doing? I better not hear chlorine. Looking after Satsuma, looking after a child. I'm gonna link all these products down below anyway. So this is random. I'm doing a video on what's on my handbag and everything but this is what's in my takeout. I've got my EpiPen, which are my allergic to bees. In here, I've got like my inhaler. I also have anti-factor oil wipes. But who doesn't? Now I have this, which is a nasal spray. Helps with the fact that my nose gets really blocked up when I'm around cats. Yeah, I actually found it really helpful. Another thing I do have, and this is simply because my eyes always swell up when I have an allergic reaction. I actually got these eye drops and they are literally a lifesaver for me. I have these in my med box and I keep one in my going out box. I have other products as well, like house and things. Some tips on living with a cat when you're allergic. One, give yourself a few days to get used to them. So see them, like, go in the room with them. I was thinking maybe Becca, it's like, Becca's been in the bedroom with Satsuma and I've been in the living room. I keep cat coming in to play with Satsuma and then I kept going away when I started to have an allergic reaction and it's a space of about a week I've got very used to Satsuma and like I said, I haven't had to take any allergy tablets. However, I do take two different kind of allergy tablets when I need to. Or I take Benadryl, which is, Benadryl's very fast acting, it's 15 minutes. For me, that works better because I don't start having a light allergic reaction when I start off full on. My eyes are the first thing that poof up and eye sight's not so great then. Also, make sure you like clean up the fur. Like I said, I have this spray which means cat fur doesn't stick to anything too much. Like, obviously there's still fur here and there because you can't spray everywhere. Up until like, well, meeting Becca, I've always been like, I used to have a cat and then we had to re-home him because of my allergies. When we got Satsuma here, it was, I knew I was gonna be ill for the first few days. I knew it, I even said to Becca that I'm literally gonna be dying for three days. And I was. Mottages. I have a really ridiculous reaction to cats and it's annoying. It's annoying being allergic to cats. Like, it's really annoying because I love kitty cuddles. I love kitty cuddles. I just wanted to make this video because I know there's a lot of people out there who have allergies to things and often times it gets in the way of things and sometimes people don't realize how bad reactions can be to such small things. So my allergy to cats, like, you couldn't think it's gonna push me to death's door and literally on the first day I had Satsuma, my throat tightened up so much that I was like, am I gonna have to use my Epipan? I don't think people actually realize how allergies can be. Like, it doesn't matter if it's food. It doesn't matter if it's not food. Like, reactions vary and I think it's important to realize that an allergy to cats and allergy to bees and allergy to friggin' dust, they can all be serious. But there's no allergy that is worse than another. Any allergy has the capability of causing an out-of-laxet. Anyway, but, like, any allergy can cause that. Yeah, I just thought, like, I've got loads of new things for that. I thought I had done... So tired. Been awake since, like, half eight and I am. I also started taking 100 milligrams on a lot of genes today and, like, I've literally fallen over because I can't get really light-headed.
