I am studying for a BA in Animal Behaviour and I am looking to gather information from cat allergy sufferers. If you live in the UK, suffer from cat allergies or know someone that suffers from cat allergies please take a few minutes to complete the attached online questionnaire or pass onto any friends that may suffer.

Many thanks for your time.

I'm not from the UK, but my SO and I both suffer from cat allergies. I get itchy eyes, and hives if they rub their sent/lick me. I have no idea why


(I didn't take the survey)

I'm not in the UK either, but do have allergies to my cats. I would be willing to take the survey if you would like.

I don't live in the UK, and I do have allergies around cats. I get a runny nose and itchy eyes. But this is only if I pet them and then, I dunno, pick my nose or poke my eyes.

I have a mild allergy to my girls. I will get itchy and my eyes always are watery. But it is all worth it when my girls coming to me purring up a storm.

Not from the UK either, but Canada does fall under the Crown


I have allergies to cat dander. Regularly brushing my cats, and twice weekly vacuuming of the furniture, floors and carpet usually help.

My symptoms: runny, watery, itchy eyes; frequent sneezing; runny and/or stuffy nose;
