What kind of animal would be

best for our class?

Modern house cats came from Africa’s big cats, such as the one’s we saw at Cat Tales.

They started to be domesticated, or made for

house use, in the Middle East. They were then brought to

Egypt where they were breed smaller and smaller, into the house cats we know and love

Why Are Some People Allergic to Cats?

-What part of the animal are people allergic to?People that are allergic to animals are often allergic to the dander (dead skin that is continually shed), the saliva, or the urine.

-What are the symptoms?People with multiple allergies are well aware that when their allergies are acting up, they will suffer from itchy eyes, runny nose, asthma symptoms, red itchy skin or a rash.

-Are there any hypoallergenic cats?There are no hypoallergenic cats, nor are there any cats that do not shed. All cats shed, but some have a much denser hair coat than others and shed a larger quantity of hair than those with a thinhair coat. But since the dander and not the hair is the problem, shedding is not that important in allergy control.
