The lady that I work for has had the same cat for 9 years, and has never had a problem with pet allergies. Now she is complaining of allergy like symptoms whenever the cat is arround. Can a person just develope an allergy to cats?

yes, my husband has eaten corn all his life time , & now he's allergic to it.
he just stays away from it.
she might get tested & get on allergy shots. & get on allegra. or some medicine..for it.
she needs to keep the cat well groomed, th e shed ender really helps, & they usually lilke to be brushed, & we use a lint roller on ours to get dust off em all th e time.

People can develop allergies with repeated exposure. OR you're developed an allergy TO SOMETHING ON the cats. Do they go outside? Maybe they're picking up pollen. Have you changed anything about how you care for them? Brand of flea-protection? It would be wise to find out exactly WHAT you are allergic to. Then you'll have to decide what to do about it -- find a med that works, or find homes for your buddies.

Yes, it is very possible to develop allergies to cats even if you never had any in the past. Why, I don't know but it's definitely possible.

Yes, I think it's actually not too uncommon. I've had cats my whole life and just recently have started getting minor allergy-like symptoms too.

If you put a flea collar on it or used a flea treatment. yes
also if this cat goes outside i can bring in allergens on its fur.
wash the cat good with a hypoalergenic shampoo
