| My Husband has allergies and we both would really like to have a cat (or maybe two) in our home. I know that the Devon Rex and Cornish Rex are better for people with allergies, but I will be quite honest, I like the more cuddly, furrier cats (I have always had a tabby, love the coat and features). My Husband and I were watching Animal Planet last night, Cats 101, and they were talking about the Oriental breed, which I think rank in cuteness factor with the Devon and Cornish (no offense to anyone who has one. I just like the more rounder face and features). I tried to look online for breeders of the Oriental and couldn't find prices. That is a major factor. I found a breeder with beautiful Siberian kittens (Gorgeous!!!) but they are $800 and that is not in our price range right now. Are there any other breeds that are similar to the Siberians or Tabbys in look that are good for allergy sufferers, aka hypo allergenic?

Its a complete myth that there are breeds that give or not give a person Allergies. Its a protein in their spit, that they lick on their fur that dries and becomes airborne.
Depending upon how bad it is however an Allergy can be managed with shots, exposure trails, meds ect.
cats as pets
