The more you are exposed to anything, the more likely you are to become allergic to it.So all the things you use and are around start to be rejected by your immune system.

You can develop allergies at anytime of your life. You body has to become sensitized to a particular allergen. In your case, cat dander. Once sensitized you are allergic to it and you react when you are around cat dander. The sensitization process can happen at any time.

The immune system is extremely changeable. Allergies can develop at any time of life.
