A hairless cat is actually not hairless. They have peach fuzz. They are worse for people with Allergies. They are worse because the dead skin falls off easier. Their skin is what people are allergic to. Not their fur. They also leave oily residue behind.
Most people that are allergic to cats are only actually allergic to the fur, so a hairless cat.
If you have an allergic reaction to dandruff and or fur the best cat you would want to get is a Siberian Cat. I know it sounds weird but check out google and type in "cat without dander." Answer If someone has allergic reactions to cats it's usually because of cats saliva. Cats spend most of their time grooming themselves that their saliva gets and clings on their fur. So people with allergies to cats are not allergic to the cats fur, but to their cats saliva. I suggest to a person with allergies to cats to get a Spynx ( a hairless breed of cat) or an American Shorthair. These are the best breeds of cats for people who have allergies.
If you are allergic to cats, then any cat will do it. The cat least likely to cause problems is the Hairless Cat.
It would be hard to say without knowing exactly what the allergic reaction was triggering on. Most people are allergic to cat dander, and many are more allergic to the dander of adult cats. Two breeds which seem less likely to trigger allergy are the hairless Sphinx and the nearly-hairless Cornish Rex. The Cornish Rex, identified by its curly whiskers, does come in a white variety with green eyes.
No. There are many causes for hives, so you can get them if you are not allergic to cats. However, you would not get them from a cat if you're not allergic.
Sphynx cats are knows to many people as a "hairless cat" which they are. However, there are many other types of hairless cats. Also, not all Sphynx cats are completely hairless, there are different degrees of being hairless. The lack of hair on Sphynx cats is caused by a simple genetic mutation. They usually have hair around their nose and ears.
Allergies are unique to the individual, but I have a short haired cat that I am allergic to and cannot cuddle. And I have a long haired cat that I can cuddle without any allergy Also you could be just allergic to the fleas or flea dirt on the cat. --- The best breeds you can get if you are allergic are Sphinx (a hairless breed) and Rex cats (Short, curly coated breeds).

He is said to be allergic to cats.
Hairless cats.
It depends on how high they're allergic to cats. I myself am allergic to cats and we have 13 cats; I sneeze once in a while and get stuffed up but it's no big deal. If they are really miserable around cats and it affects they're health, it's probably best that they don't visit someone with a cat if it's at all possible. Oh, and just so you know abortion stops a beating heart so please support the awarness.
Yes, I'm prety sure of that. Peolple who are alergic to cats are allergic to any cats!
