Oh, that was a little vague. Like I said, what you're allergic to is the proteins in their saliva. When cats groom themselves, obviously they coat their hair in saliva which then dries and flakes off. Tiny invisible flakes. That's what causes the allergies. Get on that Zyrtec though and you'll feel like a thousand bucks. Sometimes I even take two a day, although I don't know how medically advisable that is.
Is it normal: to get bloodshot eyes from my cats
