Cat Q&A

Posts Tagged ‘cat dander treatment’

If you love cats, cat dander could make you really miserable. If you’re one of the unlucky pet owners who have a reaction to cat dander, then good news, you may not have to give away your feline friend.

Cat dander are microscopic pieces of cat skin shed by your pet and propagated all over your home. If you are allergic to them, here are some ways to minimise the problem:

1) Don’t let your pet into the bedroom or onto your bed. I know this is tough especially for those who share the bed with the cat, but the close distance of your body to the bedsheet and pillow means that you’ll be inhaling cat dander whenever you sleep. Try to train your pet to recognise your bedroom as out of bounds and you should see some improvement.

Also clean your blankets, pillow cases and bedsheets with hot water as much as possible.

2) Do you have carpets in your house? You may want to give them away as cat dander cling on to them and bacteria breeds easily there. If that isn’t possible, vacuum your carpets whenever possible.

3) Do you have fabric sofas too? The cloth of the sofa act as a breeding ground for cat dander. Replace them with leather sofa sets or clean the fabric as often as possible.

4) Next you need to check your curtains. If you own the heavy fabric ones, cat dander might stick to them easily. You might want to consider curtains of another material or alternatives like blinds.

5) As cat dander spread by the air due to their small size, you have to consider cleaning the air too. It would be a great idea to purchase a good air purifier.

These 5 simple strategies are a good start though by no way are they the only solutions. More information on cat dander can be found at CatDandruffAway.com
