Well I've been around cats all my life, pretty much since very early childhood and I've never had any reaction really. I've not been allergic to anything in my life period.
A few months before I adopted the cat, I was at my gf's friend's house and she had a cat there that I held and played with and petted.
Just before I adopted the cat I did end up adopting I went to see and converse with the folks I was adopting from and I def was around the cat for over half an hour.
While I had the cat she'd lick me all the time, never any issues. The effects would start maybe a day or two after we got her. It didn't even fully stop until at least a day later.
So in my case I guess not. Thanks for the advice though. I was thinking of looking into adopting a Siamese cat at some point. Ofc I'd try to do a lot more due diligence allergy wise, but I really don't know what I could've even done realistically. I don't think I could stand having to give a pet back because of any health issues on my behalf again. Thanks
