I just wanted to thank the reviewers who mention whether or not a provider has pets, especially cats.

I'm really allergic to cats. Even if someone put their cat in another room, I can still get a reaction -- my neck starts to itch and I start sneezing and coughing. Truly, not every cat gets me every time, but it happens fairly often.

If I went to see a provider and she had cats I would feel disappointed as I would have a hard time enjoying myself with watery eyes and a constant sneeze. (In case anyone cares, I'm not a cat "hater" -- I sort of like them, actually. They just make me ill.)

I like dogs, too, but at risk of sounding like a fucking pussy, some dogs like pit bulls make me a little uneasy. If I friend has a pit and they tell me he's safe, I'm fine with it, but if I don't know the person or dog that well I get a little wary. So if I know someone has a pit or a Doberman, I might ask them to put them outside or in a spare room during my visit.

I really do like animals. But it's nice to know when I consider visiting someone if they have cats or a pit bull. So, thanks to those who note that in their reviews.

I've had it posted on my website for years because I don't want any issue's either. I have a nice little statement right on my Rate/Contact page that I have 2 cats and if you have allergies take your meds.

Now if thats not enough, I even have a gallery where my 1 cat and I were shot for Spreadmag. It should be more than clear there are fuzzy loved ones here. They're mostly under the bed or in closet when guests are visiting.

providers who mention their cats in their advertising.

So: Thank You

I don't take allergy meds because they have some side effects that I don't like, but it's a fair warning to those that do.

It's just nice to know and it's not the type of thing one always remembers to ask about.
