allergic to the protein that's in their saliva. They lick themselves all the time. the protein is sticky and tiny and once airborne will actually stick to all kinds of surfaces in the household.
fortunately it is water soluble. kitty gets wet, kitty's allergenic saliva washes off of hair. kitty is huggable again.
I'm also irritated in my nose by inhaling hair, but this is rare.
I'm also irritated on my skin by picking up and holding kitty against my chest or neck or inner arms. little welts a few moments later.
less fur = less licking = less allergy protein.
more showers = less allergy protein.
shorter fur = fewer drain clogs when rinsing kitty
shorter fur = fewer watts of power used to blow dry soaking wet terrified kitty
shorter fur = more pink belly to show through.-Ll
