CATDOLL : What to do if you are allergic to cats but still want to keep a cat

If we are allergic to cats but still want to keep a cat, we can usually take the following measures to reduce the allergic reaction:

1) Avoid contact with allergens: First, we need to identify the main allergens, such as cat hair, dander, etc. Once confirmed, we need to pay more attention in the later stage, and we can regularly clean and replace bed sheets, curtains and other household items. In addition, after touching the cat, we should wash our hands immediately and never rub our eyes.

2) Choose hypoallergenic breeds: Choose cat breeds that are considered hypoallergenic, such as the more common Siberian cats, Balinese cats and Russian Blue cats.

3) Gradual desensitization: If possible, we can start with a small amount of contact with the cat, and then gradually increase the contact time to help our body gradually adapt.
