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.

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...
Can a person be allergic to just dogs and not cats?
The answer is Yes! Just because someone is allergic to a cat doesn't meen they have to be allergic to a dog. ///////////////////////////////// The answer is yes because of an enzyme that's in a cat's saliva and isn't present in a dogs, cats clean themselves thus their dander contains this enzyme which is the cause of the allergy. A dogs dander doesn't have this enzyme in/on it.
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.

Are male or female cats more allergenic?
Male cats are generally worse for people allergic to cats than female cats. This is because the FED1 protein found in cat urine, sweat, saliva, ect. causes people to be allergic to cats. Males produce this protein more than females, partially because they urinate more to mark their territory. So more FED1 protein, more people sneezing.
