The girl at my vet's office was carrying my skittish kitty around and broke out in a rash. She explained that this was because my cat was short-haired. When I adopted Rhiannon, she insisted on sleeping on my bed, and I, initially, tried to discourage her, since I knew I was allergic to cats and was afraid I would wheeze. But she persisted, LOL, and I never had the slightest trouble. I thought it was just because I loved her so much, but now I understand. The dander is different. I had been afraid it would be worse, but I was wrong. And this explains your situation. as well. I must pass this on to my friend, who recently lost her 17-year-old cat. She's not ready for another pet, but will be, sometime. Her doctor told her that she should not have a cat, but she's like me, just loves animals. Thanks for the information, since this could help us both, though we tend to adopt cats who find us.:-)
