"Allergies can be debilitating for those who have them – even more so when the
cause of the allergic reaction is a beloved pet.

Second only to dust mites, the humble domestic house cat is one of the major
causes of indoor allergens for people.

But what is the actual source of the allergic response? And are certain breeds
less allergenic than others? There are many myths and misconceptions related to
cat allergens, so let’s debunk a few."
