Yeah...but it wasn't her that adopted the cat. It was him. He ignored his own allergy to adopt the cat, is what I'm getting at. Sometimes people ignore their own needs to do something or help something they love.

Monty loved cats. He ignored his own allergy to adopt a cat. He was getting maintenance allergy shots, one of which is what went wrong and led to his death.

It's a stupid, annoying way to die, but something that is quite common. People do things they love and ultimately pay the price, even if people close to them try to stop them from doing it. Monty is no different.

I'm not trying to start a fight here, but I am pointing out that Monty was an opinionated man who did things his way because he wanted to, and often what others around him said had no impact on his life beyond acknowledging that they had an idea. Even if someone told him he should get rid of the cat, it's likely that he would have ignored them just as he ignored other suggestions about things he should do (like upgrading his OS instead of making Gus spend hours on the phone getting someone to install Windows XP on a computer that didn't support it).
