Whats a cat that wont act up my mom's allergies?

She likes cats and wants one but she's allergic to them but she dont like hairless cats.

I watched a small clip on Martha Stewart about cats. The guest on her show said that Siberian cats don't have the protein that other cats do that causes allergies. I'm assuming they have to be purebreds. Also, there are also hypoallergenic cats that you have order and go through a process of getting one. $4,000 for one cat. Here is a link talking about it: Source(s): http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/06/scienc...

Stupid stupid stupid.

If she doesn't want an expensive and overpriced hairless cat, then there are no cats that won't make your mom's allergies act up. A domestic short hair will be her best bet, but even then it is going to affect her. She can take some medication, you can keep the cat brushed, buy an air purifier, and vacuum and clean regularly and that will all help, but in the end, if you are allergic then you are allergic. Not much you can do about it except live with the symptoms.
Try to get a pure breed cat. any mixed animal tends to react more with alergies than anything

And believe it or not, himalayans are known as a cat that most people with alergies do not react to.

Hope this helps!
