by Andy on February 13, 2010

Having allergies can be extremely difficult to live with. Whether they are food allergies, seasonal allergies or pet allergies they can really put a damper on your lifestyle. If you are an allergy sufferer you eventually learn to live with the allergy and to adapt to different things. This however is very difficult if you have pet allergies. Sometimes you are unaware when friends have pets and do not realize until it is too late. It also can be a problem when a child or spouse wants a pet and your allergies get in the way. If you are craving a pet and suffer from allergies there are many hypoallergenic pets out there

A cat is a great pet, especially for a family that works and is constantly in and out. Cats can stay alone for a few days and you do not really have to worry about them having accidents in your home. They use a litter box and will eat from a self feeding food bowl while you are away. You do not have to walk them and they really do not need much entertainment

Siberian cats are hypo-allergenic cats. This means that they are very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction from people who are allergic to cats. Many people think that their allergy to cats has something to do with the length of the cat’s hair that however is not where the allergy lies. The allergy comes from the Fel d1 protein that a cats has. Siberian cats hypoallergenic because they do not have this Fel d1 protein that causes allergic reactions. What typically happens with a cat is that when they clean themselves they leave the Fel D1 on their fur and then it causes people to have allergic reactions. Because the Siberian cats do not produce this they do not leave any traces on their hair when they clean themselves. This is why owners of Siberian cats that do have allergies to cats and dander do not have allergic reactions. Over 98% of all people who own Siberian Cats and do normally have allergic reactions to cats have said that they have had no reactions whatsoever to the Siberian cat.

Siberian cats are great with children and are beautiful cats. They are solitary animals and live long lives. The best part of having a Siberian cat is that they are hypoallergenic and will not cause any allergic reactions.
