If you start sneezing when your cat’s nearby, you might not have considered this, but you could be allergic to it.
People can actually have more than one allergy, and these allergies can change as time goes on.
If you worry you might have developed a cat allergy, talk to your doctor.
They usually use a test called the skin-prick test. In this test, they prick a bit of your skin with a sterile probe and put in a liquid.
They’ll watch for any redness or swelling, which could mean an allergy.
