I have mild cat allergies and a friend told me about a simple solution that didn’t involve medication. I forgot what it was though. Does anyone have any natural remedies to allergies?


Is it possible to eliminate cat allergies?

Aria asked:


I have been allergic to cats and horses for the past 5 years, or so. I used to own a cat, and I also used to horse back ride regularly. I have always LOVED animals, and this is very heartbreaking to me. I want to pursue my career as a Veterinary Technician, and this is really holding me back. It is also eliminating living opportunities. If anyone knows of how I can at least relieve my allergies enough to work with and around cats, I would really appreciate it. Most of all, I want to know if there are ways to eliminate the allergies.

Thank you.

Casey asked:


I have mild-ish cat allergies and I’m desperate for a Ragdoll kitten. I have heard that these cats are hypo-allergenic? I get itchy-red-watery eyes around regular cats. Would the Ragdoll do the trick? Any allergic owners who have had experiences with this breed? Thanks so much.

..Emma.. asked:


We are considering getting a cat but we are going to get tested for cat allergies first. My mum says if any of us are allergic we can’t get a cat. I have hayfever and have a couple of other allergies. I’m scared of the reults because I will be heartbroken if i can’t get a cat. Do you think I could have cat allergies and if so could I still live with a cat if I did?

I’m thinking of getting a cat, and nobody seems to be quite sure if Sphynx cats are good or bad for allergies. So people with both allergies and cats, what’s worked for you? Any tips?

Cat allergies or something more serious?

Julie C asked:


My cat has minor allergies and I have noticed that when I take the sleep out of his right eye (on the eye slit), the slit of his eye is pretty pink and it looks a little painful. I’m not sure if this is part of the allergies or maybe it’s irritated from something else?

My vet just told me to give him fish oil once a day for the allergies. Anyways, would appreciate any help if someone else has seen this in their cat. If it’s not too serious, I would love some home remedies to avoid the monstrous vet bill my vet always charges. Thanks!
