S2 B6 7 | Why Sphynx Cats Aren't Ideal for Cat Allergy Sufferers
A lot of people think that Sphynx cats are perfect for those with cat allergies because they appear to be hairless. But that’s actually a big misunderstanding. If you’re allergic to cats, it’s usually because of proteins in a cat’s saliva and sweat—not just their fur. And even though Sphynx cats have little to no hair, they still sweat quite a lot. This sweat can transfer to your clothes, furniture, or anywhere the cat likes to rest, such as a sofa, leaving marks that may trigger allergic reactions.It’s important to... Read more...

If you're allergic to cats, try switching their diet. The type of food a cat eats affects how much they shed, which in turn influences how often they lick and groom.

The truth is, cat allergies are caused by a protein in cat saliva, not the fur itself. By changing their diet, such as switching to a raw food diet, cats... Read more...
