Cats can cause breathing problems for those without feline allergies

Posted on Dec 30th 2007 11:28AM by Chris Sparling

Fortunately for THIS LADY, being allergic to cats is not a problem (although living in a house filled with 130 cats clearly is). However, it turns out that even if you're not allergic to cats, their dander can still cause some breathing difficulties for people with asthma and other types of allergies.

A European study found that the dried skin and shed fur of cats, which is basically what makes up dander, can cause breathing problems in people who don't have feline allergies. If you happen to have such similar symptoms around cats, the obvious solutions would be to just stay away from cats. Also, closing your windows may be a good idea if your neighbor is a cat owner, as dander can travel from their home to yours.

Now, go enjoy the clip I linked to above, will ya!! 130 cats??? That's just ridiculous. It looks like a cat mosh pit in that house!!
