Why are Siberians hypoallergenic?
The best theory out there is that Siberians have a lower Fel d1 level than ordinary cats. Fel d1 is the protein found in the saliva that triggers allergic reactions in people. There is a study that has been commissioned by the University of California, at Davis, to study this mystery. The results are still a few years away, but this will be the first controlled study of its kind. However, there are hundreds of testimonials of people who are aller-gic to other breeds of cats, yet they are able to have Siberians as pets!
