Haven't been following the thread much lately as I've been very busy with work, but your subject line intrigued me & I had to read. :-)
To find recent posts that haven't been archived yet, I go back to the time-frame I think it's in & on the task bar of the browser, select 'Edit' & then click on 'Find (on This Page)' & type the person's name who posted it, or my own. Finds it quickly. Navigator has a similar search.
If one is allergic to cats & it's not extremely severe, it can be controlled by bathing the cat once every week or two, rinsing the shampoo out well. It's not the fur or dander that the vast majority of people are allergic to, but a protein that's in the cat's saliva. When the saliva dries, the protein does too & becomes air-borne. Washing the cat removes the build-up & enables allergic cat lovers to keep their pets.
If you think bathing a cat is impossible, well, it helps to start them as kittens. Otherwise, you might wish to try this method:
