Are Exotic Shorthair cats hypoallergenic?

No, Exotic Shorthair cats are not hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic breeds produce fewer allergens compared to other cats, but no cat breed is completely hypoallergenic. Allergens in cats primarily come from proteins found in their saliva, skin oils, and dander (shed skin flakes). While Exotic Shorthairs might shed less and produce fewer allergens compared to some long-haired breeds, they still produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
