Is it true that hairless cats are safe for allergy sufferers: experts reveal what the popular myth hides
There is an opinion that those who want to have a cat or a female cat, but do not have such an opportunity due to allergies, should pay attention to hairless cats.
But this is nothing more than the most popular misconception. After all, an allergic reaction can be caused not only by animal hair.
Experts reminded that so-called hypoallergenic cats do not exist in nature.
Hairless cats can be just as dangerous for allergy sufferers as regular mongrel cats.
A painful reaction occurs to wool, saliva, skin particles, musk and other secretions of the animal.
Moreover, hairless cats may be more dangerous for allergy sufferers if the reaction is not related to the fur, but to another irritant.
It is enough for a cat to simply rub against a person’s legs or other parts of the body, or simply against the owner’s furniture and things, for a certain reaction to occur.
