But then sometimes, we can assume parents will pass down their hereditary transferring down to the cat, don't we? So I'd go with guessing if we're not careful, we might be affected by illnesses from feral cats and dwelling cats nowadays mostly because we've got bugs who love roaming around behind someone's deserted house that has overgrown shubbery that needs to be mowed...I won't be too suprised.

∙ 16y agoyes you can because of their hair. someone can be just allergic to long haired cats or long and short. it is gennerally just their fur, so if they got a hairless cat they wouldn't be allergic to it because it's not the cat its the fur/dandruff.

∙ 12y agoNo Ive been scratched by one but i am not allergic to them. By Dad is cause he has Athsma
not to start a fight, but, WHY WOULD YOU GET ALLERGIC TO IT JUST BY IT SCRATCHING YOU??!! (sorry T-T) Anyways, my mom, long ago got scratched by cats when she still liked them (Which by the way, was the reason she started to hate cats) and she NEVER EVER got the sneezes and such when she went near a cat. Maybe you are born with the Allergies, and if you are allergic to cats or something and you don't get the itchings till like later, your body probably doesn't know its allergic yet. Anyways, it only my thoughts. Hope this helped!!

∙ 12y agoYes it is! Surprisingly it is possible to be allergic to one cat, but not to another cat, especially if they're from different species. If your seriously allergic to cats, I'd advise you to stay away from all of them anyways.

What is the best cat for you if you are allergic?
Most people that are allergic to cats are only actually allergic to the fur, so a hairless cat.

What can you do if your cat is allergic to your other cat?
Talk to your vet, if there isn't any answers to the problem then you may have to part with one of the cats in order to protect the health of the first cat you purchased. I don't think a cat can be allergic to another cat.
What happens to people that are allergic to cats?
the only thing i am sure of is that your face cannot puff up because of cats. if you really are allergic to cats, then get a black one. most people arent allergic to black cats as much as they are with any other. also you can get a Siamese cat.

When you are allergic to a cat you are either allergic to its fur OR its dander.Dander is when a cat licks itself and the dried spit falls off in flakes (ew, I know).So you can't be allergic to a certain colour of cat.

her cat
If someone is allergic to cat are they allergic to parakeets?
Not quite; unless the person has multiple allergies ; which is possible. But when the people are allergic to cats most of the time is not the cat hair. What makes somebody to be allergic to cats is actually the saliva that the cat use to clean themselves and ends on his hair. Which at the end the cat is the one that carries it. Well saying this parakeets are birds and flap their winds a lot ; but they don't have the elements of the saliva's cat. Actually birds have a very clean beaks and tongue that some can die from human mouth contact (kiss). Perhaps the person can be allergic to the feathers. But like I said is very likely to be allergic to both...
What if cat eats potato?
