It used to be that if you, your child or loved ones are allergic, then getting pets is absolutely contraindicated. Nowadays, there is a unique opportunity to get a special hypoallergenic breed of cats through selection. American breeders presented a cat of the breed with an allergy to such an ideal animal.
Cats and allergies
The cause of the allergic reaction is not wool, as many people think, but the various types of Fe / D1 protein that are present in saliva, sweat, urine, and animal skin fat. This allergen spreads through the living space, getting into the respiratory tract of a patient with allergies and causing severe seizures. If the cat has a thick coat, then with its help the allergen is easier to scatter around the house. It has also been observed that representatives of the cat family with white or light colored coat are less likely to cause an allergic reaction in humans.
The emergence of super breed
Distrust of the new amazing breed is primarily due to its breeder Simon Brody. Even before removing the cat allergy, he had already created the allegedly unique cat Asher, but later it turned out that the new animal is just a subspecies of the African wild cat serval. Therefore, the news that the American research corporation Allerca brought the world's first hypoallergenic breed, many were skeptical.
The company also presents its documents in which it is recorded that the individuals removed have no gene responsible for the production of allergenic enzymes, that is, this cat is absolutely hypoallergenic. The owners of the corporation even guarantee to return a lot of money spent on the purchase, if the new owners have even the slightest symptoms of allergy.
