I guess its possible. for example, say you were kissing that person, or came into close contact during them coughing or something, and they had eaten, or are wearing a scent, or have touched something you could react to, then its certaintly possible. I believe that their are tests you can take to more accurately find what your allergic to. Hope this helped a bit. (:

Which cat is best for somebody with allergies?
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.

Will shaving your cat reduce allergies?
From what I understand, from my allergist, it's not the cat fur that causes the allergic reaction, but the cat saliva, as well as skin cells it sheds, just like we do, but theirs is called dander Whether your cat is shaved or not, it will still groom itself by licking, thus exposing anyone who touches it to the saliva. It has something to do with proteins in the saliva (whatever that means!), and an allergic person reacts to the proteins. As far as the dander is concerned, it's very fine and floats in the air, so it is easily spread. the allergic person breathes it in and has a reaction. Another thing to mention is a shaved cat looks downright strange. We had ours shaved, at the cat groomer, because she has long hair which is prone to mats, so we thought it best to have the shave done. When she came home, our cat wasn't happy for several days, she hid under furniture and inside anywhere she could. We thought she knew she looked wierd and was embarrassed, who knows! Marty V.
