if you're allergic to a ragdoll cat, then you're probably allergic to all cats. in specific, a cat allergy is mostly based on contact with bodily fluids or dry flakes of skin. Allergy to a cats hair may be something more like hayfever. which a long haired cat can trigger, same as a short haired cat that sheds a lot.

Are people who are allergic to cats allergic to ragdoll cats?
Yes. The Ragdoll breed, despite the popular myth, is not hypoallergenic. If you are allergic to cats, then you will be allergic to Ragdoll cats. The allergen is found in the cat's saliva, which remains in its coat after the cat cleans itself. When your cat sheds, the saliva coating on the fur (often called "dander") remain on any hair that is airborne. Inhaling the microscopic protein allergen causes your allergic reactions. Ragdoll cats have long, thick coats, and require daily brushing. These cats do shed quite heavily, so are not the best choice when looking for a specific breed of cat.
