I just got my first cat ever and he's an absolute darling...but I've been breaking out in hives on my forearms! They aren't TOO bad, but the itch is constant and annoying. The thing is, I don't have any other symptoms - no sneezing, congestion, watering eyes, asthma, nothing. Just itchy forearms. And even though my cat's rubbed up on my legs, belly and shoulders, I don't have hives there.
As a university student I can't really afford the $350 fee to get tested at the allergy clinic, so I'm hoping the experienced cat people here might have come across something like this. Is this a cat allergy? Or just a coincidental unrelated skin issue?
