Many people believe (spoiler: incorrectly) that allergies are only caused by cat hair.
Therefore, those who are prone to allergies choose a hairless pet rather than a fluffy cat.
However, even in this case, the problem remains, because the allergen can be not only wool, but also a protein with allergenic properties (Fed d).
It is found in cat saliva, skin, urine, etc.
In addition, the health of the pet owner also plays an important role in the occurrence of an allergic reaction.
Think for yourself: this protein is secreted by all cats, but not everyone gets sick.
Sometimes allergies occur during certain periods, for example, when the immune system is weakened due to illness or stress.
Finally, it is important to remember that the allergy may not be to the cat, but to items associated with it, such as litter, cat food and medications.
