Some swear that these cuties are the bane of their allergies, while other people are perfectly fine.
Why is that, and what can you do if you do suffer from allergies?
All these questions and more will be answered below, so let’s jump in.
When it comes to our adorable stars of the show, Raggies, they can mainly cause allergies from their saliva, which unfortunately contains the Fel D1 protein.
Some people are only mildly allergic and can be completely fine with Ragdolls, while others can fall into a sneezing fit as soon as they enter a Raggie’s domain.
Unfortunately, allergies have many causes, especially for those who are affected quite badly.
Generally, cats have 2 coats of fur: the undercoat and the top coat. The undercoat is the softer hair close to the skin that provides warmth and protection to the kitty.
The other main cause of allergies from kitties is their saliva. Specifically, the proteins in it. This protein called Fel D1 can affect allergy sufferers to varying extents.
