Hey, pals! Have you ever heard of a cat being allergic to cats? We've heard of humans being allergic to our favorite fluffy felines, but the fluffy felines themselves? We had no idea this was possible until we came across the story we are featuring today. The original poster (or OP) recounts their cat's medical mysteries. The cat in question, a regal street cat turned house lion, had been displaying some weird symptoms for a while so OP decided it was time to consult a professional. 

After a check-up with a cat dermatologist, it was discovered that this majestic fluffy feline was allergic to pollen, grass, dust mites, and his fellow felines! Talk about a surprise. If only humans could be allergic to other humans, we would have a perfect excuse to get out of excessive social obligations. Cat lovers from all corners of the interwebs chimed in to express their reactions to this silly phenomenon. Let's get into it!

    This street cat-turned-house lion has had weird symptoms for a while. So we took him to a cat dermatologist and had him tested for specific allergens. Turns out his crazy is allergic to pollen, grass, dust mites AND CATS. Apparently cats can be allergic to other cats.

    He will start immunotherapy soon. Because even though he's from the streets, he's regal on the inside. For only 1500 euros he'll be rid of his allergies to his friends.

  • Okay, first of all, this majestic feline is simply regal. We don't know the whole story, but we are so happy that this guy is no longer a street cat and currently spends his time as a happy and well taken care of house lion. Even the fact that his parents cared about him to take him to the doctor and are willing to spend thousands on his treatments to ensure his comfort brings us joy. He deserves the very best.

    GullibleCellist5434 . I feel like this is the most cat thing I've ever read. Of course a cat would be allergic to other cats! I have one that is allergic to chicken, it's a nightmare buying food for her.

    TK9K. I don't use it myself because I don't have cat allergies but there is a type of food called Pro Plan LiveClear that is advertised to help neutralize the substance in cat saliva that triggers an allergic reaction in some people. I'm not sure whether or not feeding it to the cats in your household would help a cat with cat allergies, but it might be worth looking into.

    Character_Elephan... I have the same allergies as your cat, plus some extra just because. Still cannot live without cats, so pills and a nose spray it is. I hope he feels better soon. He for sure is regal on the inside, something we don't have in commom

    George Soros394. It's unfortunate that humans can't be allergic to other humans. It would be the perfect way to excuse yourself out of difficult situations
