Hi PJ,
I would have to debate that a once a week bath would be enough to
eliminate the allergy causing dander with a cat. It might help, & with a
hairless a daily wipe down does help, but for a real dander allergy sufferer
I don't believe it'd be enough. I am very firm in explaining this to allergy
sufferers when they inquire about our cats & are under the belief that they
won't react badly. If the allergy is to hair, we have the answer here. If
the allergy is to dander, a protein in the cat's saliva that dries & flakes
off into the air from them grooming, you will still be allergic to any cat.
Regular bathing might help, but I'd be real careful if the allergies are
severe.
Being new to the list I want to ask everyone's forgiveness if I am off
topic in responding to post in reference to the cats. I will minimize any
reference to them in my posts, but hope that it is okay if I respond to
posts about them with an answer that I will try to make short & to the
point. I love visiting about them, but realize that this isn't a cat list. I
don't know yet how far ya'll wander from CS, but will try to remain within
list limits always.
