Introduction
Cat dander is formed on the pet’s skin and is shed through the coat. People are allergic to a certain protein that is present in the cat dander. The same protein is present in the cat’s saliva also. These allergens are airborne and when inhaled, cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. Cat dander may stick easily to clothes, rugs or couches and may resist for up to 6 months in a household, even after the cat is gone.
The most frequent allergy symptoms caused by cat dander are: skin rashes, sneezing, itchy eyes, itchy skin and runny nose. In some cases, cat dander can cause asthma episodes and even chronic asthma.
