Did You Know?
The stuff (allergens) that people are allergic to in cats is a protein in cat saliva. When the cat grooms and the saliva dries it can become airborne. This protein is 1/3 the weight of ordinary house dust, so it can travel farther. You can find this allergen where cats have never been.
