Are Siamese cats hypoallergenic?
No, Siamese cats are not hypoallergenic. While they produce fewer allergens compared to some other cat breeds, they still produce allergenic proteins in their saliva, urine, and dander, which can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
However, some people with cat allergies may find that they tolerate Siamese cats better than other breeds due to their shorter coats and lower shedding levels. Potential pet parents with allergies should spend time with Siamese cats before bringing one into their home to assess their sensitivity.
