Found him frozen in the middle of winter and thought he was dead. Bottle fed him, and now I have a 12 year old permakitten that hops on me any time I sit down anywhere.

Unfortunately, for my issue, I couldn't find a therapist who could unwrap why physical interaction with a cat made me gag. Maybe it's some strange phobia...

Aw that sounds terrible. But also, sounds like a unique and interesting reaction! I wonder if it's just the fur, or if the body and joints contribute too like you were saying—maybe you could have a a sphinx if it's the former.
