All cats produce an allergen from their skin or saliva, not hair, but some produces less
allergens than others. Thus the word "hypo" which means "less than" in the word hypoallergenic.
Before choosing a hypoallergenic cat or dog as stated from the internet you need to be
exposed to them in person because different people have different sensitivities to different
cats. These apply to hypoallergenic dogs as well. But here are the cat breeds that are
known to be hypoallergenic.
#7. Balinese
They are sometimes referred to as longhaired Siamese because of the dark features on their
face, tail and paws. They like attention and will follow you around, they are very friendly
and has quite a soft voice.
#6. Russian Blue
Big and muscular. It tends to shed a lot and is quite timid to strangers. The russian blue
is quite laid back and likes to just sit around and explore for more places for it to just
sit around. We could say that they are quite introverted but if it asks for attention don't
refuse or they would start drifting away.
#5. Bengal
Smart, friendly and athletic. Very curious and very playful. If you can't play or take
time to play with them, you would feel like the cat drains so much of your energy to
take care of.
#4. Ocicat
Just a toned down version of the Bengal cat. They are friendly towards other human strangers
but would get very jealous and start acting tough when there are other pets or animals around
especially new strangers.
#3. Siberian
If you want to get a cute and big cat that could fend for itself get this one. It is
the second largest known domestic cat, it has a wide variety of colours to choose from,
pretty agile and it wants so much attention that it would follow you around everywhere
and I mean everywhere.
#2. LaPerm
This one is the most vocal out of the other hypoallergenic cats. Its over friendly, very
playful and will try to pounce on you to play. Like most cats, it will sit and relax on your
lap when given all the attention it is given but what makes them different is their
curly wurly coat of fur.
#1. Javanese
They look like the Siamese and Balinese cat but the length of its fur is medium short.
It could be trained to fetch and do other tricks. They'd follow you around but they
tend to be in the way of your feet when you're walking or even just standing still.
