Even if you suffer from allergies, this is not a reason to give up the idea of getting a pet.

First of all, it is worth taking a closer look at hypoallergenic breeds.

Contrary to popular belief, this does not mean that you need to buy a hairless cat - on the contrary, cats suitable for allergy sufferers include the fluffy Siberian, Siamese and Balinese cats.

The next step is to replace the curtains with roller blinds.

At first glance, this decision may seem like an incredible stupidity, in no way connected with allergies and cats, but it is worth considering the fact that curtains can trap allergens, and cats really like to sit by the window.

It is worth giving up not only thick curtains, but also carpets, although people suffering from allergies probably got rid of them long ago.

In addition, make sure to create an allergen-free zone in your house or apartment – a room where your pet is not allowed to enter.

Finally, get quality air filters and don't forget to change them regularly. It's best if someone who doesn't have allergies takes on this task.
