The allergen from cats normally comes from their sebaceous glands, the most of which is in their saliva and skin. I'm allergic to cats, but each cat causes a different reaction. Some cats produce less of the allergen, or more than normal so this impacts your reactions differently.

the hair or the dander of the cat. My boyfriend is allergic to most cats but not mine cuz they are long haired...
I have been allergic to cats all my life. I have discovered that I can be around just one cat and build up a resistance to that particular cat. However, when I visit someone with a cat, I am very allergic to it.
But one very important rule I follow with cats and also dogs, I always, always wash my hand after petting them. This action alone has reduced the effects of my allergies.
Cat Dander is Omni-Present.
a CAT is a CAT ..as far as Allergies Go...
