LMAO. wow who's the nub that listed all the cat breeds? get a grip. someone nuke that join, plz, if we want cat breeds, we can search for them. useless.
I completely disagree. If accurate, a list of hypoallergenic cat breeds is very pertinent and appropriate to the scope of this article. I would however, like to see a little bit of responsible citation for such information, rather than having them presented as unsubstantiated "some claim that"s. 71.34.100.229 00:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rewrite needed
Rampant use of "you"'s and reads like a pamphlet. Article needs to be rewritten in impersonal and technical tone to be encyclopedic. Thanks. --Kvasir 06:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Error of fact in first paragraph: While Fel d I is the major culprit in cat allergies, it is not the only one. See the PubMed abstract of the March 2007 article "Cat IgA, representative of new carbohydrate cross-reactive allergens" for the following statement:
"BACKGROUND: Allergens from cat are among the most potent elicitors of allergic disease. Four cat allergens have been identified; however, evidence indicates the existence of additional allergens."
Not being knowledgeable re allergies and immune biology, I'm unsure but suspect this article goes on to announce the discovery of a fifth cat allergen.
