Useful information
Siberian and Norwegian cats are thought to be naturally lower producers of the major allergen Fel d1.
This may make them more tolerable by allergy sufferers, provided that the allergy degree is not very high and the symptoms are not serious.
In general, female and castrated cats produce less Fel d1.

Tips
In daily life, allergy sufferers must avoid too close contact with the animal, avoid handling the cat litter and avoid brushing the animal because otherwise the direct inhalation of allergen can be very high with the risk of very serious respiratory crises.
