Allergy Proof a Cat - Brush your cat daily, outside of your home. Grooming the cat indoors will release dander into the air which will aggravate a pet allergy.
Wipe your cat's fur after brushing, using a cleaning wipe especially designed for use on cats. Pet stores sell disposable wipes that target cat dander and saliva. A damp cloth also will do.
Supplement dry cat food with wet food that contains fish oil or add fish oil to dry cat food. A diet rich with oil will reduce dander production.
Wash hands immediately after petting the cat. Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with you at all times. Grooming alone cannot make your cat completely allergy proof.
Keep kitty out of the bed to minimize the presence of allergens in bedding. If your allergies or asthma severe, consider prohibiting cats from entering the bedroom. You and your pets will adjust to this change, and you will likely notice a significant improvement in your health.
Cats carry protein-based allergens in their dander and saliva that can create unhealthy living conditions for their allergic and asthmatic owners. If you suffer from severe allergies and fear that your feline companion is the culprit, follow these steps to allergy-proof your cat.
