My children really want a kitten for
christmas, the problem is that i'm
allergic to them and just thinking about
it makes feel like I can't breathe.
It's hard for my family to understand
since nobody has allergies but me.
Any suggestions? Has any one heard that
siamese are hypoallerginic?

Cats And Allergies Posted: 12-17-03 00:37am
When cats clean themselves, they are
licking their hair. This hair is
crystallized with their saliva and it
flakes off and is floating around in your
air. People are allergic to pet dander
and the flaked off hair whether it be a
short or long haired cat. I had 2 cats
indoors and thought that my sore throat
and runny nose were perfectly normal till
I tried an air purification system in my
home. After about a week, my throat was
no longer sore and my nose was fine. I
hope your kids can get a kitty for
christmas. If I had known I could feel
this good with indoor pets, I would have
got a unit a long time ago. If you would
like to evaluate one in your home, let me
know. This is a whole home unit. Not the
ones advertised on t.V. For only one
room. Let me know if I can help. Merry
christmas!

My dad and I both have more trouble with
siamese cats than any other!!!!! Don't
get one!!! You shouldn't put your health
and life at risk just to satisfy a desire
that should soon pass. Look at it this
way... If you get one, it's going to hurt
them more when you are forced to get rid
of it. Isn't there a pet that everyone
can agree on?
