    Cat Allergies

    Types of Cat Allergies.

    Like people, cats can suffer from different types of allergies and the amount of cats suffering from allergies seems to be rising. Cats with allergies react very similar to people with allergies were they will wheeze, sneeze and in very bad cases have respiratory problems. This can also lead to your cat developing asthma. An allergic reaction in your cat can be seen by excessive scratching from a developing skin problem. Cat allergies can be categorised into three main categories, these being: Food allergies, Flea allergies and Atopy. Your pet cat may be susceptible to more than one allergy.
