Yes, pet allergies can affect your skin. If my cat scratches me then it swells up and really itches but a friend of mine can't touch the cat or she gets a rash and itching. Allergies affect different people in different ways and to different extents.

Allergy to animals is common. In our family we cannot have any hairy or feathered pet. About cats I found this: "Some people are allergic to the animal's saliva, particularly cats. Cats have saliva that contains a protein known to cause allergy."

It's common - do a Yahoo search for "symptoms of cat allergies".
