Cats are extremely beloved pets in many families, but some people are unable to enjoy the pleasure of living with cats because they are allergic to cat hair. However, if you still want to have a cat, there are some steps you can take to alleviate this allergic reaction while protecting yourself and your cat’s health.
First, if you already know that you have cat hair allergies, you should choose a cat breed that has less hair loss. Cats with less hair, such as exotic shorthair cats or Scottish folding cats, usually have fewer allergies. Avoid choosing breeds that are prone to hair loss, have a lot of hair and are prone to spread indoors, such as Persian cats.
Secondly, you can take a regular bath for your cat. This can help reduce the number of cat hair floating indoors while reducing the occurrence of allergic reactions. It is best to take a bath once a month, which will ensure that the cat's hair remains at a suitable level.
In addition, you can also use an air cleaner to clean up the air in your home to reduce the floating particles of cat hair and other allergenic substances. It includes air filters, deodorants and air fresheners and more. In addition, maintaining home hygiene is very important for those who are allergic to cat hair. Keep your home clean and tidy, making sure to clean the floors and clean pet cat accessories, mattresses and more every day. A better option is to place a small number of pet cats at home. If you want more cat friends, make sure your home has large enough indoor space, or add exercise space outdoors to prevent cat hair allergies.
In short, cat hair allergy does not mean that you cannot get along with pet cats. As long as you pay attention to some small details, many people can still live a happy life and raise pet cats.
