My cat Gem is 11 years old. I found out a few months ago that I am allergic to cats. Ever since, I have been miserable in the house with her here. Further, I lost my husband to cancer a while back, and I am still mourning. It is not fair to her to get less attention and live in a home where I can not really be near her without getting sick. She is a shy cat until she warms up to you. She had her necessary shots, eats regular adult cat food, and is fully trained. She is a bit skiddish (I think she was abused before I got her years ago), so you will notice she gets scared more easily than most cats.
