Can you be more allergic to one breed of cat compared to another breed?
I have 2 older cats, since they were 7 weeks old and now they are 13.
I remember thinking I was allergic when we first got them from the shelter, I would sneeze and get irritated.
And then I was fine, I kiss my cats, I sniff them, they sleep with me at night.
These two cats are medium-long haired tuxedos. So they have a wooly undercoat and a glossy upper coat.
Now I just adopted a 2 year old about 6 days ago. She is in a room by herself, this is the isolation period before putting her together with resident cats. Every time I visit this cat in the room, I just feel short of breath, itchy nose, sneezing, etc.
What do you think? This is similar to my 2 other cats, soft fur medium hair fur, long bushy tail.
Maybe I should take allergy medication and see how it is. I would hate to take her back to the shelter.
