Question

i know this sounds rather stupid but can anyonet ell me the sytems or how to tell if your allergic to cats.. thanks.

Answer 1

This is going to sound crazy but hold the cat and rub your face in it's fur gently. Nose, eyes and all.( shut your eyes of course ) Put the cat down and see if your eyes get itchy and red and if you sneeze and so on. If so then take a benadryl ( the pink as the blue wont work ) If you are alergic , there is actually some shampoo you can use on cats to help keep the allergies to a minimum and you can also get on meds from your doc.

Answer 2

Typical allergy symptoms are itchy, watery eyes, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, hives, trouble breathing... you can have 1 or 2 of these symptoms or all. The only sure way to know if it is cats that are causing your allergy symptoms and not something else is to be tested by an allergist. Allergy testing can be done through simple blood tests now, so you don't have to get allergens injected into your skin to find out what allergies you have.

Answer 3

is it the dander or the actual cat that aggrevates your allergy? i think you could have them isolate the dander by wrapping the cat in latex before it scans you. there'd just be a small hole for the spray. my cousin had this done, but you have to go to a religious hospital to do it because so many atheist doctors are also members of PETA.

Answer 4

-excessive sneezing
-watery eyes
-choking on fur balls

Answer 5

If you sneeze, get a runny nose, and get irritated eyes, then you may be alergic.
