[quote=Anonymous]We have a pure bred Siberian.  I'm extremely allergic to cats, dogs, basically everything.  I've always had sniffles and am on allergy medicine in general b/c of pollen, dust, etc.  However, when we got the Siberian, there was no change in my normal reaction level.  In fact, this is the first time I can have a cat basically sit right up near my face while I'm in bed or on the couch with NO reaction.  Everyone comments on it.  If I go to someone else's house with a normal cat, I DO have a reaction.

I've also had DC's friends over who are very allergic to cats, and we've had no reaction by them either.  A very small percentage of people allergic to cats will also be allergic to Siberians - but we're talking less than 5%.  The reason a few people are still allergic is because the protein that cat's produce in their saliva is still present in Siberians, but at such a low to almost non-existent rate, most people normally allergic will not be.  The 5% are still getting small amounts of that protein.  I would give it another week or two.[/quote]
