I never had cats growing up, my mother and my older sister are very allergic to cats, but I always loved them and never seemed to have any allergic reactions whenever I was at a friends house or anywhere else with cats.
Now I have three cats, and I don’t get a runny nose or watery eyes or any of that. But whenever one off them scratches my (not aggressively but just little scratches from when they leap out my arms) the scratches always welt up and get really red all around the scratch.
So I guess I’m wondering if it’s possible to be allergic in a way that it only affects my skin?
Another thing I’ve considered is whether I’m allergic to their litter, which would be under their nails as well, also when I clean the litter box I usually sit down next to it and sometimes there is just a little of the litter they kicked out where I’m sitting, and always leave red marks on my skin that take really long to go away.
